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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500.
It’s supposed to run.
“This is a very late 1948 or 1949 CJ2A and CJ3A Willys Jeep Engine.

Comes with all accessories shown in photos as well as a 12V starter and generator.
No shipping, pick up in person, cash, no paypal or other transfer, etc.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $700
This complete motor may be worth a look if you are wanting a V6.
“Built 231 Buick V-6, bored 30 with TRW pistons, Comp cam (can’t remember specs), ARP head bolts, Headman Headers, complete Petronix ignition system, distributor has been curved for build, practically brand new edelbrock performer intake, also have a Weiand single plane intake, 450 cfm Holley 4 barrel with Quick Fuel secondary metering block conversion . I’m sure there’s more that I’m forgetting. Engine has less than 5000 miles on it intake has less that 200 miles. Engine was in my jeep, but I pulled it for an LS swap, and I need it gone to make room”
UPDATE: **SOLD**
“For sale 1 original WWII NOS crated Ford factory GPW replacement engine assembly (part # FM GPW 6004). The NOS engine & the crate are both in MINT CONDITION!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $850.
“For sale is a complete Willys L-134 4-Cyl Engine assembly which can be used in either a CJ2A or CJ3A. I was going to use this engine in my CJ3A project but I acquired another vehicle with all numbers matching that I’m working on instead.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $550
“I have for sale a 1950s Willys L134 Motor. The motor was mounted to a military generator. This motor is also equipped with water fording waterproofing equipment including a waterproof distributor and oil bath air cleaner specifically designed to support the air ventilation for fording as was seen on the MC-38 Military Willys Jeep. The generator and all parts other than what you see in the pictures was scrapped. The motor turns freely but I haven’t made any efforts yet to start it. This is the same motor used in the early flat fender Willys Jeeps with the exception that it has extra accessories that supported the generator function such as the governor – all of which are readily removed and it also has the waterproofing accessories which can be run in any environment or replaced with standard accessories. I’m selling it as is with the accessories you see attached for an asking price of $550. Please e-mail if interested.”
UPDATE: ****SOLD** Was $650.
“Super Hurricane flat head 6 cyl engine out of a 1954 Jeep Willys pick up – mileage is unknown
It is still in the truck but being pulled soon. I have never heard this engine run but was told it does, but needs a rebuild (runs rough, has a bad tap)
I will include the 3 speed trans and the twin stick transfer case as well as all the ignition, carb, starter, alt, etc – I am installing a diesel engine so I don’t need anything off of it
This is a rare engine so I would rather not scrap it but I don’t have the room to store it either!”
Joe forwarded this engine for sale on eBay. Local pickup only (Ohio).
“Up for your consideration is a Willys L-134 engine ser # MB334904 . I bought it just in case I was going to assemble a WW2 jeep. This engine has the Military Standard oil filter, Crank start nut, Lower Pulley guards, WW2 primer fuel pump. It has a Gpw script oil pump, original water pump with no holes (civilian has heater ports). It also has the WW2 jeep steel radiator hose sections. Was told the brown bakelite distributor cap is rare. It appears that the head is a Gpw as you can see a Gp under the oil filter bracket. It will turn with a wrench on the crank start nut. With the prices on these going up This would make a good place to start for your jeep. If you priced a carb, intake/exhaust manifold, Distributor and so on you will see that this will make a good buy. This could be used also for the Ford Gpw”

“THESE ARE IN VERY GOOD SHAPE WITH NO CRACKS WILLING TO SELL ONE AT A TIME OR THE PAIR FOR BETTER DEAL.”
Steve forwarded this ad. The motor is seized.
“This is a engine from a 1940 Willys Americar model 440, although I think it was last in a Willys Jeep because of the CJ2A motor mounts and oil pan. It has some unusually characteristics, like the head, dipstick, manifolds, carburetor etc..
IT DOES NOT RUN! It is seized from sitting. Make no mistake, this engine is for parts or rebuild only.

Dan forwarded this interesting engine.
“Here is a willys overland f block engine with what seems to a some experimental engineering . There is what looks like direct injection at the spark plugs and it seems to be an early flathead with and overhead valve conversion. . I’m not a willys expert but this is what I’m gathering from my research on this one . It’s definitely some engineers dream and well done of you ask me . Come take a look at it of your interested. ”
This early motor might interest a rebuilder. No pics provided.
“I have a Willys Cj2 A Motor. Casting number is 4-12 638632W 2A

Tony has this motor for sale. It last powered a 1946 CJ-2A.
Nate’s simple reasoning for installing two carbs on his L-Head (I had two YF carbs and plenty of time) belies his good understanding of how why the carbs add more power (see his explanation in the thread comments). As usual, very nice work Nate!

Glenn forwarded a couple pages of this old catalog for hi-performance parts that included a few for the jeep. He sent these to me after a short discussion with Scott, who races using F-head and L-head motors (more on that to come).
According to Scott, “I have bored them up to .092 oversized and I have had about 6 different cams made by crane cams. The motor I have had the best luck with so far is .060 over with dome style pistons. It has 1.7 ratio roller rockers. It is a F head. I cut the side of the head open and welded the water jackets and built an intake manifold that is 8″ high. With a 500 cfm holley ive been able to get 7000 rpm out of it.”
Scott’s experimentation has been done simultaneous to Sam at Flatfender Willys, who experimented, just for fun, with hi-po parts in a flat head with modern honda fuel injection. Sam did a few other things to the engine, but I don’t precisely remember what. Sam and a friend drove the motor hard, before it finally gave out, though a couple transfer cases and a drive line gave out before the motor did.
Here are the two pages from Glenn.
This might be the right fit for someone’s project.
“Complete from carb down, 24 stud 59 A-B Block. I think its out of a ?46-47? car. Comes with attached ford car trans mated to a 59 Willys Jeep transfer case. would be a interesting setup for a 4wd hotrod. 618-4zero1-zero152 appears to be in good condition, turns freely, don’t know if it runs never tried it since the starter doesn’t work.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500
“This is a very strong 4 cylinder engine that fits well in Willys and flat fender jeeps. This particular engine has VERY high compression due to high performance forged pistons from a DZ302(this 151 is half the size of a 302 with the same bore). It will require high octaine gas!! It was built to run hard while steep climbing at low rpm and has been through the Rubicon numerous times. Additionally, with the combination of this Webber 2 barrel carb this engine can run virtually stait up with out over flooding the floats or stalling out.”
