Welcome to eWillys.com, a website for vintage jeep enthusiasts. I update this website nearly every day with jeep deals, jeep history, interesting reader projects, jeep related info, and more.
These quick searches can help you find things on eBay. People list in the wrong categories all the time, so don't be surprised to see brochures in the parts area for example. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
The links to posts below show jeeps grouped by models, condition, and other ways. Some of these jeeps are for sale and others have been sold. If you are unsure whether a vehicle is still for sale or not, email me at d [at] ewillys.com for more info.
There are plenty of interesting, unusual, historic and surprising stories related to Jeeps and their owners. In addition, some of these features have nothing to do with jeeps. This link will display all featured stories starting from the latest.
Looking for parts and not sure where to go? There are a variety of large and small new and used parts sellers both online and offline.
Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .
UPDATE IV: Here’s another Knox, this time owned by Clint. It appears to have a few mods:
UPDATE III: While searching for any info on Knox trailers, Brandon ran across this post. So, he sent in some pics of his Knox trailer. He recently sold it.

“This is a 1946 BantamT3-C trailer sold through Willys Jeep dealerships.
The good; Original combat rims. They have been media blasted and powder coated.
Original VIN tag with proper Bantam ownership in my name.
The bad;
It is in very rough shape. It looks like someone moved it with a bulldozer.
This trailer needs a trailer to pick it up. IT IS NOT towable.
Best offers considered, but only in person.
Phone calls only, and not after 8pm. Mention this ad and I’ll return your call.

“Military ammo trailer Vietnam era. Has a rotating tongue which helps out when you are wheeling. I have had this trailer for over 25 years. At one time I was going to paint it to match my jeep that is why the fenders are off, never painted and never put them back on. This pulled great behind my Jeep. No title never had one, I bought it off a add tacked to the wall in Woodys 4×4 in Vancouver.”
UPDATE: Still Available.

“Old army trailer. One tire is still up other is flat. Make a offer”
Allan’s selling this rough trailer. He’s hoping someone can get some use out of it.

“This is a survivor Bantam Willys trailer. The trailer is very rusty and would need major work for restoration. The frame looks to be Ok and the axle, springs, hubs, wheels are all intact. Front tongue jack is intact and workable.The tailgate is intact, but would also need work. There is a bracket on the front of the trailer with a wire spool attached. Not sure what the wire spool attachment may have been used for.
The ID serial tag/plate is intact, but it is weathered to the point that I cannot read it. I have not tried a magnifying glass.”
