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: Still Available.
(06/04/2017) Looks like a good price.
“Hubs for old army Jeep $20.00 for one or $30.00 for two or best offer.”

1. Looks like these Allstate hubs are in reasonable condition.
“Sears Locking hubs for most early jeeps. Show normal ware but work great. Includes bolts. Removed from 1953 CJ3A.”
2. These “heavy duty” Selectro units, which came out in the early 70s, could use some cleaning on the outside.
“Selectro 11024 Locking Hub GPW Jeep CJ CJ2A CJ3A CJ3B CJ5 M38 Willys 10 Spline”
This appears to come with a Warn OD, which the seller seems to mistake for a PTO. I can’t identify the hubs, but they might be a set of Cutlass Bulldogs. The rear of the hardtop looks similar to a Porter & Reed top, but the rest doesn’t quite fit it.
“1953 Willys 1/4 ton Jeep C3Jb with V8 265 engine. Needs windshield. Engine will run. has transmission with PTO. Does not have pto shaft. Rare Jeep. Does not have title.”
https://fredericksburg.craigslist.org/cto/6156627858.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3800.
(05/03/2017) I’m most interested in the type of hubs. I can’t tell what they are. This has no engine.
“1951 Willys jeep pickup.
– Classic 4×4
– Clean and rust free
– Restoration started
– New upholstery
– Excellent body
– In primer
– I have optional motor and tranny available.
Asking $3800 OBO
Elderly owner must sell.
Will deliver. ”
This has an overdrive and a set of hard-to-find Allstate hubs.
“A rare original 56 Willy’s jeep cj5 with 4 wheel drive with lockout hubs also has a shift for overdrive.The jeep runs great used it to go in parades with my grankids.”
https://fargo.craigslist.org/cto/6156268985.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7000.
This appears to have a set of the later Free-Lock hubs with tabs.
“Willys jeep for sale. Runs well needs some restoration work/TLC. Looking for offers trying to see what I can get for it. I also have extra rims that go with it.”
These appear to be Dualmatic hubs with the Free-Lock private label. They certainly are rare.
“This is a very rare set of Free-Lock locking hubs. Free-Lock was made in Denver Colorado in the 50’s. Dalamatic Hub company may have bought Free-Lock. Thes sure look just like the Selectro hubs you see today. They are 10 spline, and works with all Willy’s & CJ jeeps from 1941 to 1971. Hubs are in good working order. Thanks for looking!”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.
Those are Free-Lock hubs in the pics.
“For sale is a Jeep I shipped from Las Vegas. The Jeep is nearly rust free. It runs, drives, and stops. Lights work. This is fully functional and ready for fun. Clear title.
It was a part of the infamous Phil Maloof auto collection, owned by the tour guide with a mechanic on staff. The collection has been visited by Jay Leno and Pawn Stars. This Jeep sat next to Duisenbergs, Rolls Royces, Lincolns, and V-16 Cadillacs.
-New canvas top, seats
-New tires
-All new oil seals (tranny, tcase, axles) last week
It sat this winter – and could use some carb tuning. Paint job isn’t the greatest. Other than that, this is a very nice vehicle that you can enjoy during the summer. It’s nearly impossible to find an original condition Jeep in the midwest that hasn’t been patched up. The first areas to go are the toolboxes – and this one is beautiful.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.
This jeep, which is a mix of parts, has a set of Free-Lock Hubs on it.
“I have a RARE Willy’s CJ2a with a MB converted front end with a 1963 1/2 Ford Falcon Sprint 260ci V8 solid lifter Commando motor and Rare Factory installed Manual Overdrive!! That’s right 4 sticks 3 speed manual, manual overdrive, 4wd in and out and 3 speed transfer case high,low and PTO. Runs like new fresh tune up has a entire new front to back 16 fuse wiring harness installed with all new 5 gauge cluster. Only had 6,600 original miles came originally from retired Colonel at Fort Hood Texas was his weekend driver. Has brand new Goodyear Wrangler Military issued 33 x 9 x 16 over $1,200 cost in 16×7 military wheels. Has rebuilt drivetrain about 10years ago. Has lockouts on it. Upgraded leaf springs with coil over shocks for original winch bumper.
It’s rough, but does have the data plate to prove it was a “D” model. This may have some Allstate hubs.
“I have a 1955 military Jeep missing engine. It has minimal rust , mainly in the lip of tool box under passenger seat, solid floors and frame, only 50 of this model was produced. It’s rare and in surprisingly good condition, make me a good offer. Bill of Sale”
