Tom Sterndale has been building a database of existing APUs, a challenging task given how little they’ve been documented. As part of his effort, he hoped to identify these jeeps which were once listed on eBay.
Tom writes, “Help me prove that ebay is not a black hole out there some were sucking up all the Szekely APU’S.
- The four pictures of the four wheeled APU is a NC/5 Szekely used by the Navy up until the 70’s. Was on Ebay in 2010 would like to know were it is now.
- The pictures of the Tricycle APU’S are NC/1 Szekely’s they were on ebay in 2003 or 2006 I would also like to find them or others like them.
- Both the NC/5 and the NC/1 used Willys Jeep as a base.I have found some APU’S like the red and blue ones they all seam to be NA/3 Szekely built for the Air Force. I
I am trying to keep a data base of all units that I can find any body with a Szekely of any type I would like to be put in contact with them.”

Just picked up a Szekely APU a few weeks ago, had no idea what it was when I got it other than an old Jeep with a weird hood .

Hi Michael,
I’d love to see some pics of the hood and the dash of your jeep. I’ll also share Nick’s email with you; He’s pretty much the expert on these. Feel free to email me at d @ deilers.com.
Thanks,
