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: **SOLD** Was $3500.
(02/24/2014) I can’t tell for sure, but this stock jeep looks like it might have a rare set of “Hublock” hubs. My second guess are a set of rare Allstate hubs. Runs and drives.
“Looking to sell my 1948 CJ2A Willys Jeep pulled from a barn. It is all original, and runs like a champ. Started and drove in 0 degree weather and made it around town in 14″ of snow. Just replaced headlamps, distributor, plugs, wires, shocks, etc”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
Bob Christy is selling this rare set of New Old Stock Cutlas hubs. They are 19 spline.
“This is a set of NOS, New Old Stock lockout hubs made by Cutlas Gear and Manufacturing in Vinton, Iowa. These are 19 Spline, which I believe will fit Jeep j100/j200 trucks with a Dana 44 front end, but please be sure they will fit your application. These include all of the factory bolts, but it seems like some of the washers may be missing, as is one gasket, which is easily found. This set is in the original box, has the instructions, warranty card and dash sticker. They came out of a Jeep dealership in Ohio. I sell to the US or Canada Only”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was priced at $1200.
While the body looks rough, this jeep appears to have a rare set of Free-Lock Hubs (so easy a child can engage them).
“It’s all there. Clear title. asking $1200”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $700.
Here’s some rare hubs.
“Set of original Warn Hubs in green box. Hubs are perfect, box is a little rough”
These are very early hubs.
“these came off my 51 wagon.. last owner cleaned/painted them but time for a redo. good condition”

UPDATE: These were listed on eBay in 2012.
Hublock hubs appear to have been made by Dana-Spicer.
“This is an original pair of vintage lock out hubs. These are made by HUB LOK. I am not sure if these were Sears, Spicer, Dana, ACME or whatever. They work just fine. They fit the Dana 25 front axles. These fit the MB, GPW, CJ2A, CJ3A, M38, M38A1, CJ3B, and early Cj5. They need a good cleaning.”
And another example from this page:
Randy spotted this rare warn hub box. It needs another hub though. Northstar Willys is auctioning this.
“This auction is for one Warn hub cap with the original case.”

This Warn brochure from 1955 highlights the differences between automatic and semi-automatic hubs. I didn’t know there were such things as the automatic hub.

“hi – i normally dont sell jeep parts but i bought some vintage jeep parts for my own project and got these really neat vintage hubs too and i dont think i will ever use them – so here they are.
these i believe were called ” summer-time ” hubs that were installed on the front of many old 4×4 jeeps for when either the jeep was going to be towed or for when the weather was nice and you werent going to use 4wd for a while – these hubs here just have bearings inside of them and were sold in the 1950s at dealerships from what the former jeep employee had told me.
these are really neat and the insides were still clean and greasy so theres no rust or damage to the needle bearings and theres no cracks or anything bad about these. they could still use some cleaning on the outsides and maybe some polishing to make them look real shiny again but they dont look too bad right now.”
