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.
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 .
Blaine spotted this unusual item. Maybe someone can use?

“Air cooled military surplus V twin
Generator engine. Has gear reduction gear box and several splined shafts and adapters for
Other drive applications. It was my father’s very slow project but now he has passed. This engine is from the late 60stime period and has inspection papers. Comes with shipping crate. Must pick up.”
Christopher has this engine he wants to sell. I’m sure someone can use it. You can email him at CAM @ framinghamma.gov with any questions (remove spaces from around the @).
“I am selling a 63 Tornado engine that I have been storing for last 7 years. It was running when pulled. The seller who sold me a truck I am rebuilding told me it only had 27000 miles on it. “
Seller will sell individually, too.

“For sale is a pair of Willys Go-Devil engines. One is a military unit in a generator, the other appears to be from a CJ. The yellow one is stuck but may be repairable. The blue one was rebuilt when purchased several years ago. They come with some accessories seen in the pics like starter, distributors, oil pump, fans, flywheel, timing cover etc. $450 each or $750 for the pair.”
Andy shared this rare engine. I don’t know what the value of these are.

Here’s a unique piece of engine culture that Nick is selling.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/998037391666684/
“This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own perhaps the highest hp Willys F134 head in the world. This was custom designed for swamp buggy racing in Naples, FL. Due to its unoriginal nature, this head was deemed illegal and could not race in the sanctioned event.
Includes:
-Custom made F134 engine head
-Down draft F134 manifold setup
-ARP head studs for the majority of the setup
It features four individual intake runners to feed the engine. Oversized titanium valves. I have video of this setup revving to 7500 rpm.
This engine head feeds necessary air and power to make the most out of the Willys engine. If you want to set the vintage horsepower record, here is your start.
It’s supposed to run. Thanks to TJ for sharing.

“Old but still runs.”
TJ found this nice looking L-161 for sale. Though it is picture with a tranny, tc, and OD, it sounds like only the bell housing goes with the engine.

“Running L-161 flathead engine. I believe it’s from a 1951 Jeepster. It has been reliable, runs well and doesn’t smoke. It’s bolted to a T90 and that bell housing will go with the engine. I will be keeping the starter and alternator, but everything else goes with it. The exhaust manifold has either been modified or repaired at the pipe flange, I can’t tell what the purpose was, but it bolts up to my CJ2a. It’s still in the Jeep and I can show it running. I’ll pull it when I have a buyer. $900 obo or trade for a running L134.”
At least one combo includes a WARN OD.

“Selling 3 engines, 4 gearboxes and 4 differentials for Jeep 1960 or older. Prices vary.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $750.
Ricky is selling this Ford Pinton engine. The sale includes Novak conversion kit to attach to a T-90.
“Includes a Pinto motor with approx 15k miles from a Ford Shay kit car and is on a motor stand and just needs to be wired to run. No documentation but motor spins freely, has good compression, and is in really nice shape. Have the rare bellhousing that bolts up to the Willys T90. Comes with a new Novak conversion kit to bolt to the T90. Comes with a brand new Summit oil filter conversion kit if you need to relocate the oil filter. $750 for the package, I wanted to install this in my Willys but realize I will never get to it since my original motor runs great and I’m well, to lazy to do it”
Looks like a good price on a hard-to-find 161 lightening.

“161l Flathead Willy’s Kaiser and T96 with overdrive. Motor runs, was running when pulled and was fired up a couple weeks ago.”

“As pictured, likely the only one of its kind left, NOS straight from a Willys Jeep dealership parts inventory…
If you are doing a factory 100 point restoration, or if you just want to have a shortblock ready to go vs having to find and wait on a (more expensive) engine rebuild shop this is ready for you!
My dad and I bought this Willys Overland flat head, 4 cyl. Shortblock flathead engine years ago. It sure was an exciting find! It was still in its original factory crate which fell apart as we loaded it out of the dealership. (Somewhere I even have pictures of it the day we found it).
Fast forward years ahead, our 1946 CJ2A is a fine running Jeep and our other Jeeps use different engines. So, I either keep this as a spare, buy another Jeep project or find someone who can use this now. As a friend reminded me, I’ll be sorry to see this go as I’ll never find another brand new one again in my lifetime! I can load and deliver to new owner at the Ohio Jeep show coming up in mid May – Canton, Ohio.”
It’s not clear to me whether this is a NOS engine or a rebuilt one.

“1943 Willys MB replacement motor never had oil. I have found all the parts for the military model, and it is complete including the starter.”
