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 .
It runs, but lacks a title. It could be a good parts jeep.

The seller suggests that the hubs are self-locking, but they appear to be standard power-lock hubs from Cutlas (Cutlas did offer some automatic hubs in the 1960s … see the Cutlas Manufacturing history).

“1953 Jeep cj3b It has a rusty tub but many features that make it worth restoring. Solid frame, hurricane engine that turns, good hood and front fenders, Self locking hubs, newer radiator, nice looking gauges, original gas tank and horn. The front bumper is bolted on (not welded) and the frame horns are nice. Sold with Bill of Sale. $2000. Worth much more as parts. Call or text 218-349-three zero six five.”
No bids yet with less than two days to go. Thanks to Bill for this one. There seems to be some parts value at the very least.

There’s a lot of work to be done and some more parts needed. Looks like some original top bows? Had a title?

“Many parts are painted, started to work on the body and motor and frame. Had a title”
UPDATE II: This post was originally posted August 29, 2018:
Information about Husky and Dualmatic has been updated and more closely examined here.
Maury and I have been trying to determine how BestLok and EasyLok hubs are connected and how they are connected to Warn, Husky, and Dualmatic. The short answer is that we don’t quite know yet. But, below is what we do know. (Note, while Husky and Dualmatic are mentioned, it’s not a full history of either hub, histories I do need to address at some point).
In January of 1972, Richard Williams filed a patent, assigned to Warn-Belleview, for a new type of hub. Below is the image of that hub.
What’s curious is that there’s no documentation that Warn ever sold these hubs.
Even more curious, by July of 1972 this exact hub was produced and sold under the brand EasyLok, as advertised here, in the July issue of Four Wheeler Magazine:
Why these hubs weren’t sold nor branded under any traditional seller of the time is a mystery to us.
Earlier this year, Maury spotted a set of hubs with the Warn patented design that were manufactured in 1982. Maury managed to get ahold of photos that show the hubs were manufactured and warranteed by BestopDualmatic (a joined company formed when Wynn industries combined the companies around 1974).
The seller of this sign has listed it at $250, but will consider lower offers. It likely is the only one of its kind.
