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 .

I’m going to toss this up as a 1953 Wagon, listed as a 1940, definitely not that. Could be a bit of a salad as well here.
I truly forget when they came out with the 4×6 rear bumper, have to look that up.
Check out that cool Trailer in the back ground, the front top is just awesome looking.

Willys Jeep Engines and Transmissions $VARIOUS Athens, TN
230 Looks like a Wagon/Truck, showing a decent exhaust manifold, 2BBL Holley 2415 should be on there from what it looks like. It’s been detailed at some point in its life, would need some more numbers to dial in what year and the sort, which we can help with if someone wanted this one. I have 12, so I’m good at the moment, I will say the most I think I ever paid was right around the $800 mark and I overpaid for that one it happens. But this is showing a T90/D18 on the back (I think they want to sell this separate), if they separate it hopefully they do just pull the T90 combo and leave the Bellhousing (Same as a 226) if they remove the Bellhousing (which is so much work for no value there IMO) make sure to snag the Flywheel here they are unique to the 230, and the bolts are special as well that hold these on, but you really can’t take those out, I would not cut them ever take the time to properly remove the Flywheel its pretty straight forward once you have done one, just be careful in general so its not flying at you.
Couple other parts and pieces as well.
This is it for today, I’m already running late and its only 4:10am!

Welcome to October!
Some good events coming up this month.
If you have an event you would like us to share, please send over to: post@ewillys.com
These are rigs folks have sent us For Sale Directly, not included in this one is the 1960 Hotchkiss M-201 that recently was added, that’s in the side bar to the right for a quick link to that one. I did get an email on that one this AM, I passed on to the info I have on that one.
Over on OWF was fun to follow along a Diff rebuild, always fun to see the progress of folks projects. Setting up these old Dana’s for some pros is probably second nature, but for some of us tinkerers it’s in interesting process to see it all work out in the photos anyway. Chasing the pattern and getting it dialed in with each move.
I think the tools we have access to today really make it easier for some of us.
Take the new style carrier and pinion bearing pullers, these are really neat and just make life a little easier, if you have not run across these you might want to try one out. The first time I used it, I destroyed the cage on the carrier bearing, it had no instructions and I was “I got this, with no help from YouTube, how hard can it be”. Well that ended badly, but I wound up reassembling the parts and pieces and looking at a video and it popped right off.
Here are a few tools I have for my DIY rebuilds. I get a lot of help from OWF and Jeff and Phil are great resources to set us straight along the way. You don’t need all this to do this stuff just sharing some things that have made my life easier.
Carrier and Pinion Puller
These have different color clam shells that goes over the bearing and clamps the race and rollers then the underside of the race and pops off the bearing with an impact.
Desitin or Boudreaux’s Butt Paste (White on Left) vs Yellow Gear Marking Compound
Yes I have tried the Desitin Diaper Creme, and it works, it’s basically like a Fish Oil based product and if not too horribly hot it works OK.
Case Spreader
These can be a point of contention at times, do you honestly need one, probably not for DIY use, but the import versions now a days are failry inexpensive and they are really slick how they work and for me it makes it super easy to get the carrier in and out, does not add a ton of time, and as you see here I did check the spread just to see how it works, and you don’t really need to do that but one time if your curious, it does not take much to get the case spread apart. Neat tool, was glad I tried it.
Flexible Dial Indicator Holder
For sure not in the “need” column, but when it Rome I had another use for this so I tried it on the Diff and it worked well. The magnets are strong, the way these articulate are really neat as well, it would be helpful to have 3 hands at times with this thing, but again not in the must have, just sharing.
Pinion Holder
Under $20, I’m sure its an import, and really this is a wonderful tool, I think this is a must have for holding the pinion, really helped me out.
DIY Pinion Depth Plate
This was scrap we made into a plate to check the pinion depth, it was just my time to make it, my guess is this is in progress as there are no holes in it to measure through yet!
Well figure I would share some of those basics I use in the shop for my DIY Stuff, for the pro and experienced rebuilders, It may seem crude or unnecessary but I found them useful. I still have the old school press and bearing separators you really need to have a good selection for when these new fangled tools just don’t get the job done.
I hope your projects are moving along!
Thanks, Tim
