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.
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 .

Hey, there’s a rare Kaiser F6-161 engine out of a Darrin!
**Steve E.**
I think the Kaiser sedans had them too
I just checked my literature. All Kaiser and Frazer cars used the good old L6-226. But the Henry J had two engine options, L4-134 or L6-161, both flatheads. I just learned two years ago that some Henry J’s had a small flathead six cyl. I saw one at a car show. An F-head 6-161 as in the picture was offered in Willys cars (’52-’55), and in ’50 to ’53 2WD Wagons. The Willys cars had a front oil pan sump, where the Wagons had a rear oil pan sump. Darrin cars were produced only in 1954. I wonder how this little 90 hp F6-161 performed in a fiberglass body Darrin. I’ve never ridden in one. I have an F6-161 at the rebuild shop. I’m going to re-power my ’49 Jeepster and make a hot rod out of it. (lol) Hey, it will increase my horsepower by 50% !!! O.K., that’s only 27 more HP. But at least it will fit without cutting the firewall, or fabricating new motor mounts (much). I will exchange the front grill for one from a six cyl., but I won’t have to change the transmission or drive shaft. (If I weren’t such a Willys nut, I’d drop in the running V6 I bought last weekend for my CJ-6 project, making 100 more HP.)
