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 .
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!
Information from seller:
I have 1- 230 inline 6 tornado jeep motor it dose turn over freely. $600
I have 2- t90 transmission $400 each
I have 2 tcase $250 each
I have 2- 4 cylinder motors 1 was taken apart for a rebuild an didn’t get to it $150 the other is unknown condition but complete$150 
’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)
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.
Factory Air Cleaner
Washer Bag and Nozzle.
It looks like its all pretty much there.
Looks nice.
Bright work is nice.
Trim is all there.
Wraparound rear bumper is nice
Interior is decent.
Things you may need to address.
Rust never sleeps kind of stuff; it’s a driver so looks like you can jump in and go!
Rubber pretty much needs a bunch of rubber stuff.
Springs, need to take a good look probably need to be done.
Leaks, while ingenious they have some cool magnetic drip cans, never seen that before but like a good Willys it marks it spot.
The engine compartment is all there but needs some clean up. Have a couple of weekends and you have a nice driver.
Some glass is older may need some work eventually.
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.
Just wanted to toss up an introduction post to folks so that things don’t linger too much. My name is Tim Driscoll (Timd32 on OWF) and between myself and a small team of folks helping on the back end sorting out the hosting and domain work will be working to maintain eWillys.
First and foremost I would like to thank Dave for trusting in me to do the right thing and take eWillys into it’s next adventure. I’ve been in this position before with a very prominent Willys project, it’s not always easy to step into such a great personal project like eWillys and maintain the high level of work performed prior. I often wondered if eWillys was Dave and with no Dave is there an eWillys? But after discussing the project and my history and views on Willys I think we are very well aligned with what eWillys is and what it should never be. No one can replace Dave and build another eWillys, but with so much knowledge and history a lot of us thought it important to take a step to move eWillys forward and continue it’s journey.
Thanks Dave for all the past years of eWillys and the support to move forward with this project!
I’ve been involved with Willys since 1995 when I bought my first Truck. The truck was/is an early 2WD Willys Salad was priced at $500, did not run, had a really rotted wood bed, I-beam front end and an 8 lug dana rear differential. We pulled it home with a chain which is always a good time, with limited brakes it was a completely unknown vehicle and unknown mfg to my 18 year old self, and so began My Willys Adventures. Over the last 29 years I’ve enjoyed learning and working on Willys of all sorts. For me it’s more about the people then the parts. The stories and hearing others adventures, hearing the history of their families and the joy Willys have brought them.
Since that time I’ve had several Willys and the current fleet includes a few Wagons and Trucks, a large collection of 230 Tornado Engines (mostly cores, “Save the Tornados”). Along with at least one each of the other more common engines L134, F134, 226, everything except anything related to the 161’s.
The nice Willys in my fleet were bought not built I’m the current caretaker of Willa Dean who is a 1948 4T Truck that every single part was lovingly restored over a 3 year period by Vintage Don. Then this year I picked up a super nice 1963 Wagon with the 230 Tornado that was rebuilt and painted in 1994, it’s was also a well loved Willys throughout it’s 30+ years with the last owner, the back story and ownership history are really impressive and the Wagon is a joy to drive.
Our initial goals with eWillys is to maintain the site as it is, I don’t have any major changes to the site to start off. The hosting needs to be sorted out and then any updates required will be performed, we may not have daily posts till we get it all sorted out. Overall I’m a big supporter of (semi) accurate history, I say semi because basically if there is one thing I’ve learned about Willys is you will be surprised at the twists and turns the brand took and what appears to a fact can easily be disproven by one of the many Willys experts in the field.
As I gain the knowledge needed to run the site and navigate the path which it will naturally take, others may join in and assist from time to time. I’ve had alot of help and there are many mentors that have helped me with my Willys over the years. So it’s just natural that this will likely be a team effort. There will be mistakes along the way, things that should have or could have went this way or that way, so bear with us at times. If it’s wrong we will correct it, if it’s broke we will fix it. Every Willys leaks a little something (or its empty) rarely will you find a trailer queen, Willys are meant to be driven, maintained, fixed, and others constantly worked on at times, which I fully expect a website like eWillys will need the same from time to time. But like a well sorted Willys, eWillys should be an enjoyable experience, with just a touch of frustration from time to time!
Thanks for hanging in there, with the holidays it may result in longer then normal reply times and as the work continues there may be some downtime, so don’t give up on us quite yet.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year to all the folks who have supported eWillys over the years. Especially to Dave and his family who have brought so much to the Willys community over the years.
