About eWillys
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.
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 .
“What I have is a unique trailer; a 1943 Ben Hur Military (US) Trailer built and used during the war. There are some privately owned and there are a few in Museums. Mine, I’ve own for over twenty years. I have all registration documents, and it is registered to me with a pink slip. The trailer is located in the Central Part of the State. It is fully functioning, so you can pull it home or wherever. Since it is registered, it has a license plate, which will come with the trailer.”
(10/31/2021) This has a replacement tub and some other updates (though this M-38 looking tub appears to have a battery box hole? It also includes a Knox trailer.
“CJ2A Repli-tub and 1940s Knox Trailer Included in this bundle is: -All steel Replica Tub (Not a cheap Fiberglass one) -Boxed in CJ2A Frame -Steel fenders and grill -Fiberglass Hood (Had been cut out for an air cleaner by previous owner) -Full Rollcage (Needs to be bolted/welded on) -Seats from a 73 CJ5 (Not yet installed) -1940s Knox Utility Trailer (Will be cleaned out before being sold) —There is no engine, no transmission, no transfercase, no steeringbox, no drivelines—
There is no vin plate for the Replitub, you would need to apply for a VIN/Serial Number through the State (Utah TC-162 Application Form) in order to road register this after you build it. Alternatively, it could be build as an Off-Road vehicle without that process. I would be happy to assist you with that process if needed. I have a poilce VIN inspection for the Jeep stating that no VIN was found on the tub or the frame by the officer”

Bill spotted this nice looking Converto Airborne Dump Trailer.
“You are bidding only on a fully restored, WWII Air Transportable, Dump Trailer, manufactured by Converto. Believed to be a 1944. This trailer was often transported to remote areas and used in construction projects. It was typically towed with a jeep as both could be transported inside a WWII C-47 Cargo Plane. The trailer was originally purchased from the estate of a WWII member of the 20th Air Force, and marked in his honor upon restoration. No Title. Sold with a bill of sale only. ”
Looks in decent shape and includes extra rims/tires.
“$1,850 – Or Best Offer
For a 75-year-old trailer, this one is in pretty excellent shape. This is either a 1946 or 1947 Bantam T3-C 1/4 ton trailer. I’ve owned it for a couple of years now, with the intention to turn it into a overland like trailer.
I have an extra set of rims with military style tires, but all these tires need to be replaced, the rubber is pretty old on these. All the rims are in inner tube style rim as well. The bolt pattern is 5×5.5″ with a hub opening of a hair over 4.75.” Continue reading →
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.
=============================
UPDATE II (From July 13, 2021) : Here’s another example of a Knox trailer that Jared recently purchased:
“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.
Text and emails will be ignored.”
“This is a very nice original 1 ton Ben Hur type trailer, built by Willys. Trailer was built in 1943. Original canvas cover!! All wood solid with no rot. This trailer was stored inside most of its life. Price is $1800. Phone calls only. Number isn’t a cell.”
