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 .

1963 Jeep 230 Tornado engine – $400 or Truck $2600 Wikieup, AZ
The 2BBL Intake was off a Wagon Truck possible. Besides that pretty bare here, but its fun to see them!
Would still like the numbers off the block and SN just because you never know what’s here.
Two ads for this rig, just the engine, then the whole rig.

INFORMATION FROM SELLER:
This Jeep tornado engine is in a 1963 gladiator truck. I am selling it only as a core because when I found this truck in a barn in California it had been sitting in that shack for 40 years and as you can see in the pictures the hood was removed and I’m sure water got in there. So it’s just the parts engine. I’m sure hard to come by but still I have no idea what the condition is. $400 you come pull it out
SECOND AD: 5/29/2026
This was a rare barn find indeed, one of the first Jeep pickups, although they kept that body style up through the late seventies. It was pretty sad when we found it flat tires all around and it’s been sitting for 40 years. So we got some good rolling stock on it, and it has an Arizona title. The steering wheel seems to be locked up so it can’t turn, no radiator, it has the original tornado 230 6 cylinder engine unknown history on that. It has a three speed on the column but they tried to convert it to the floor and it looks like they had problems with linkage. But it’s in neutral so that’s good. I crawled underneath everything’s there all the drive lines everything’s there. And this has the smallest back window you don’t see that much. Floorboards are rusted out you’ll have to put new ones in but other than that it’s decent. It’s a project that’s for sure it needs a lot of love, but we’re letting it go pretty cheap $2600 cash and it’s your project. Might consider a trade for a tractor with a loader bucket on it.
Willys 230_OHC Tornado Powertrain
$850 OBO Clinton MS
230 Up for grabs, early ’62 it says, would need some numbers off the unit to confirm. Some of these early ones are in need of some upticks. Recently I was able to compile all of the TSB that we gathered for the 230 into a nice document it was a really fun project getting those refreshed into a new format. It’s up on OWF you can search the tag 230_OHC and you will see most of my stuff over there related to the Tornado, so many knowledgeable folks over there have shared a ton of stuff with me very thankful.
I have too many of these around 12 or 13, so there is some value here, it does retain the original Air Cleaner, I had so many of those I was able to actually pay it forward and donate one to a really cool build. Then found homes for the rest, I have enough for my driving rigs.
But this actually retains the original bracket those I have never had an original but Tim out in CA was nice to hand make one for me from his and have that.
There are some very specific code words you will need to learn to get access to this one.
INFORMATION FROM SELLER:
Jeep 230 Tornado engine with 3 speed transmission and rebuilt Dana 18 transfer case pulled from a 1962 Willys Wagon.
Running when removed. Has a rebuilt Holley 2-barrel carburetor. Compression is good on all cylinders except one (has been sitting 20+ years). Fair condition overall — good core for rebuild or project.
Before replying, please read this:
I’m getting lots of fake/bot messages on here lately. To show you’re a real local buyer:
1. Tell me specifically what you plan to use it for (jeep project, parts, rebuild, etc.).
2. Include the code phrase “Clinton Tornado guy” at the end of your message.
3. Mention when you could come pick it up (I’m usually free weekends).
I will ignore “Is it still available?”, short replies, or anyone who jumps straight to asking for my phone/email without answering the above.
Local cash buyers only in the Clinton area. No shipping, no trades, no out-of-state deals. Price is $600 firm but open to reasonable offers from serious folks.
More pics available upon real inquiry. Come check it out in person.
Thanks,

| Willys 230_OHC 6 Tornado $750 Pleasantville, IA |
| Appears to be Feb-3 1964 on the block casting of this one. Should be some room here on the price, but its worth exaclty what a person is going to pay. Looks like it’s a Wagoneer or J-Truck, 1BBL Intake and ’64 Casting. Not M-715 for sure. I fully believe it could be in a Wagon. |
| INFORMATION FROM SELLER: |
| I purchased this very clean and overall great condition 1960s Jeep Willys 230 OHC 6 cylinder from a very clean Willy’s Wagon to use in a previous project. Ended up selling my Station Wagon and have this left over. Engines free, looks really clean inside and out. Have no use for it anymore. I’m positive with a carb kit and a few gaskets would run flawlessly. No Trades. Thank you. |

Happy Thanksgiving
Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving and is able to get some down time.
Lots to be Thankful for this past year. Hope everyone has a great day!
Here are some Fall Shots from past years.
Took the Wagon out for a nice ride today.
You can check out our YouTube channel as well.
I needed to set one up to host a few videos for the site, but after I got done setting it up I don’t think they were for posting just for me to see, so either way check this one out.
1968 Jeep Kaiser M-725 $8,500 Wilbraham, MA
Love the look of the M-715 and M-725, it just has that GI Joe kids toy kind of rough and tough feel. This being a County rig is very cool. Wonder what the history of this one was.
This should have a later 230 Tornado that has a bunch of upgrades to it if it is a ’68, and with low miles might be a good little power plant.
Driveability, these were not designed for highway use, but they are cool rigs. You see most of the time the 230 needs to go away and maybe a 6BT is tossed in its place. Which is a cool engine but the Tornado is a neat just very niche and not for everyone.
If you buy it and swap out the 230, hit me up happy to add the engine to the collection.

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!

1962 Wagon Albany, OR $6,500
https://corvallis.craigslist.org/cto/d/albany-willys-wagon/7818826484.html
’62 Wagon, +Mid Year so should have the better steering, looks like it was a 230_OHC Tornado rig, the heater box and firewall cut out are all there still.
The spare tire mount in the back even has the small block of wood that can be hard to come across at times. But looks to me missing the large special bolt. Missing the seats in the pictures, also some small bits on the interior but overall kinda complete, door cards and handles are all there.
Trim looks straight, bumpers are all there.
Column has been swapped out as well. 454 Big Block is a lot of power for a Wagon.
Seller’s Description
1962 wagon 454 Chevy Big Block, runs but needs rebuilt. Great starting point for a nice project. Extra parts available. ($5,500 with different wheels and tires)
1963 Wagon 230 Tornado Morgantown, PA $27,000 (DEALER)
https://www.classicautomall.com/vehicles/6864/1963-jeep-willys-station-wagon
I’m sure most know about Classic Auto Mall out in Morgantown, PA. It’s a nice size consignment dealer, looks like they have a 10% commission, my guess is off the sale price, I’ve never delt with them but it looks like a really cool place to visit one day.
This is a nice “driver”, 230 Tornado. I’m partial to these and its actually really nice looking, there are some issues but overall has some neat features.
Things you may need to address.
Overall if this drives and stops enjoy it for a season then peck away at these things as time permits.
I have this at a “make an offer” and see if it sticks.
