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 .
These adapters look to be the type made by Vic Hickey. If so, the HICKEY name ought to be visible on them.

These are old stock which has been refinished ,cleaned and painted. They are like New never used . There are no marking on adapters.
Set comes with 2 adapters, 5 left hand thread studs and 5 right hand studs.”
I think the Hickey units were made of aluminum.
Wow! They are expensive…750USD. Is it normal? I mean they are not so rare, right?
I agree that the Hickey parts were aluminum. I’d love to find a set of adapters but that kind of price is out of my range, though I’ve heard others asking similar prices for them.
Yes, that price is not unusual. I saw some prices at $1000 a few years ago.
I’ve seen this same ad on Ebay ,from the same guy, every few months for the last several years .
Terry, good to know. Demand for these must be fading a bit.
Someone was casting new ones at one point not that long ago. Don’t recall where I saw the thread, but can’t help but wonder if these are backyard cast re-pops that someone is portraying as used original parts?
Mitch, I didn’t know about the re-pops (or forgot about them). That would explain why these continue to be on eBay over the years.
These are repops. I actually called this guy when they first came out. The same image is bei g used, with the same granite countertop underneath. I recall deciding against it because the casting history was dubious, and they were too expensive. Now the story has changed to them being old stock. Caveat emptor!
Thanks Quentin.
