About eWillys
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.
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 June 21: My second trip for bearings to the NAPA store was a failure. They shipped me bearings that were wrong AGAIN! I got my money back and went online to find bearings. That was a failure as well as I couldn't get anything to ship sooner than July 7. Desperate to do the build while the kids are here, I turned to autozone. Amazingly, not only did they have the bearings in the store and in stock, but they were only $26 (for the same Clevite77 bearings NAPA was charging me $42). Even better, I had earned $10 on my Autozone store card and so the final cost for the bearings was only $17. —–
June 20th .. I was all ready to assemble the engine when I discovered the Main bearings didn't fit correctly. After examining them more carefully, I discovered they didn't work at all. The 'tang' was in the wrong location as was the oil hole.
This morning, I took the bearings back to the NAPA store. After a discovery process of about 20 minutes we finally concluded I got the correct bearing box, but the box had tractor bearings rather than buick v-6 bearings. So, my new bearings should be here tomorrow morning. Because of this, the engine build has been delayed until monday (when the kids are back).
