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 .

Paul spotted this hi-compression head designed for high altitude engines. As I understand it, the “High Altitude” option had a higher compression ratio of 7.4:1, compared with the stock ratio of 6.9:1.

This is a great V6 block that can be rebuilt to be odd-fire as it was originally or even-fire and makes a great engine in smaller jeep projects. I will accept cash only and am willing to negotiate delivery locally.”
If you are in the market for a 225, this may be a good candidate.

“Ive got a ford 2.3 turbo motor that I was going to use in a Willy’s jeep swap ended up selling the jeep so Im looking to sell the motor. The motor came out of a 88 thunderbird ran when pulled. Ive also got all the wiring harness’s, ecu’s, and various other parts to complete the motor. I converted it to an aluminum oil pan off an ford ranger 2.3 motor and also put roller rockers in the head from the ford ranger motor, along with a new timing belt. Im sure It’ll have to be torn down further for gaskets and such due to just sitting on a stand in my garage now for a few years. Tough engines to find now, I also have all the adapters and “pinto” bellhousing to go with the motor if your interested so this will adapt to an early cj2a or cj3a with the T-90 transmission.”

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.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $100.
Listed as a 1944, it isn’t. Looks more like an early 1950s to me based on the transmission cross member.
“1944 Willy’s Jeep Motor and Trans asking $100.00.”
