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 .

The last thing you need in a Willys is a 383
383 with a t90 trans, like Jack says would that trans and axle hold up under full power without snapping something?
I knew folks that race jeeps with V8s and T-90s. If you don’t drop the clutch too hard, in most cases the power train will survive. But, T-90s are cheap. I suspect that was one reason they were used for years. I would say the axles were weaker points than the t-90.
I still remember my ‘ride’ in a Willys CJ V8 in the 70’s with just a 327 in it and on 33″ tires, and I would best describe it as like “riding on a cube of Jello in a hurricane” (So Fl influence) and a “one time survival experience”. A stroker 383??? That just adds Tornadoes to the scene, IMO. Hang on tight and hope for the best…
