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 .
Looks like a good price on a hard-to-find 161 lightening.

“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.

Steve passed this engine along. It may be worth a look.
“Here is a running jeep motor I believe around 1962
That was used to power my Ford 821 tractor.
I removed the motor a few years ago when I began
a multi year project to restore it from a back hoe / loader
to a 841 tractor. The engine was running fine however, the
front engine pulley was not capable of running the pump
on the front end loader. It has been sitting inside my garage
ever since. The engine looks like the engine in my 62 Willys
Jeep CJ-5. It has the skid plate under the oil pan.
I cannot locate the timing cover as it was removed many years ago.”
Save the Tornados, right Dan?
