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.
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: **SOLD** Was $2400.
Cool trailer with some practical extras.
“I built this Willy’s truck bed trailer for my business as a multi-purpose trailer. I hate to see it go, but my business has outgrown her. It has the rare 8′ thriftside (step side) bed, painted white, sitting on the truck frame. There’s a trailer axle underneath it and the lug nut pattern is 5″ on 5.5″ just like the classic jeep pattern. It has new shocks as well- stock hubcaps included (even the spare tire in the factory location). The WO stamped tailgate is virtually flawless and a rare find, especially in this condition.
To top it off (pun intended), I have a vintage 1958 Canopy – camper shell mated to it. It was made by a local Spokane-based carriage company that went out of business in the late 1980’s (see pic of name plate for reference). It is also painted white, but with silver accents. Then I added a lumber rack for hauling 2×4’s, sheet metal and other materials (12′ overall length, 4’3” wide inside edge to inside edge so there’s plenty of room).
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $400.
Could be a good price. Looks more like a civilian trailer to me.
“Old military ammo trailer has new tires and lights has very little rust asking $400”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Nice looking original Converto airborne trailer.
“This is an original as found 1944 Converto Airborne dump trailer. This is perfect for pulling behind a military jeep. This has the original reinforced combat wheels as well as the original factory tires. Of course the tires are rock hard. There is NO rust through anywhere. This is the most solid one I have ever seen in un-restored condition. This is a true barn find…well van body find. There is some very minor light pitting in the bed which is expected for it’s age. It rolls around just fine. It dumps and has as you can see the linkage for dumping. This is a surplus item from the TVA in the 50’s and has been in storage ever since. If you want a beautiful Converto that will be a piece of cake to restore look no further. This is in museum condition. They don’t get any better than this. QTM Parts”

Tim thought someone might be able to use this behind their jeep.
“Hey I got this thing as a little project did some work to it and now it’s time to upgrade as I need something bigger. Looking to get $200. It has new lights and wiring, just put on a new plywood deck over the metal one (easier to slide stuff in and out) and I got a sweet truck cap for it too which must go with it. It’s been painted and has 6 lug wheels and 6 leaf springs on it (was a former military trailer, pretty solid) Not looking for trades, no title and will sell for more in the spring. ”

“WWII Willys 1/4 ton MBT trailer, built on 3-44, Serial # 64246 . The trailer is mostly complete, only missing the lunette, tail lights (one included), 1 reflector and original wiring. The ball type hitch is not welded on, it’s bolted, you should be able to removed it fairly easily. This has a lot of original parts: original data plate, light brackets, reflectors (3), handbrake and cable, chains, landing leg and swivel (work great), shocks, combat rims and what I believe are the original WWII Goodyear NDT Military tires. Tires hold air and I supposed it could be towed home, but I would trailer it.There are some issues with the box, so I have included the top half of another MBT trailer (front and both side panels) that you can use to graft onto/patch the areas on the front bulkhead and 1 side. This way you get the right metal thickness and stamping, and your trailer remains all original. Also, included is one tail light bucket.”
Plenty of surface rust.
“What we have here is an early Willys MBT 1/4 ton trailer. Best for parts, or a low cost restoration item. Chassis is solid, early cast center willys axle, cotter pin shock mounts, lunette mount is nice, has ebrake assembly, flat tow hooks. No ID plates other than a PA ID plate, bill of sale only, no title. I have correct 16″ jeep wheels if wanted. Really rare early production, only a few made with the cast center axle. Body is quite rusty and beat up. Will trade for other MB, 2A, 3A, 3B, M38 or 58-62 Willys pickup parts (Body tubs, rolling chassis, parts vehicles, clean sheetmetal, etc) or?”

“Here is a 1951 Dunbar Kapple M 100 ¼ ton trailer in unaltered and very good condition with minimal surface rust. It has brand new Firestone 600 x 16 NDT tires & tubes mounted on the correct rims & lugs. The placards are original & complete. The items missing are: 1 safety chain ( 1 still intact ), original tail lights, and 24 volt cable box ( brackets still intact on trailer ). I purchased this trailer 14 years ago to convert into a utility trailer with cutout tailgate to pull behind my early Bronco, but decided it needed to be kept in its original condition and restored as a part of history. If you need more close up scans, please let me know. I live in the Cameron Park, Ca area in Northern California. I am asking $ 1600 for the trailer. Please feel free to call or email with additional questions.
Thank you for your interest.”
