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 .
Josh is selling a freshly rebuilt ’76 Buick 231 Oddfire (still wrapped in plastic) with new heads. He can get photos for interested buyers. Contact him at joshjchase@yahoo.com or 3078990027
I wasn’t aware that Oddfire 231’s existed, but based on what I’ve read, the 231 was a reworking of the 225 with Buick 350 V-8 parts, resulting in the 231’s large displacement. In 1977, Buick introduced the first even fire 231.
Yep. Jeep sold the tooling back to Buick and they punched it out to 231. Came out in ’75 as I recall. Late ’77 or ’78 they figured out how to make them even fire with a split throw crank, I think. I run an OF 231 in my ’71 cj5. The 225 had a higher compression ratio than the 231. Wish I had my 225 back.
I had a 225 that was bored (can’t remember how much) with specially ground cam. That was such a great engine. It had a sound all it’s own. It’s only problem was oil issues, which like led to it’s death one day while my buddy was driving it.
