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 .
I found this Hurricane Engine Introduction on eBay. It’s the first one I’ve seen. It credits Barney Roos for redeveloping the L-head into a more powerful engine without forcing a complete retooling.
PROBABLY THE GREATEST ENGINE EVER MADE — CHEVY SMALL BLOCK V-8 , CLOSE SECOND — DELMAR ROOS DID US JEEPERS RIGHT — CASE IN POINT — I LAST REBUILT MY F-4 134 IN 1974 — ITS IN A WILLYS 1948 MODEL 4WD TRUCK — NEVER DID USE THE L-4 134 , IT HAD A BAD CYLINDER WALL AND WAS LAYING IN A FIELD IN FRONT OF THE TRUCK WHEN I BOUGHT IT , 1972 — HUMBOLDT COUNTY , CALIF — ON A FARM NEAR PATRICKS POINT STATE PARK — 150 BUCKS — THE F-4 134 HASNT SKIPPED A BEAT SINCE THE 1974 COMPLETE REBUILD — ITS A MIRACLE OF AMERICAN ENGINEERING KNOW-HOW !!! — PS , I HAVE A ****LOAD OF F-6 161’S WAITING TO GO IN JEEPSTERS , 2WD WAGONS AND SEDAN DELIVERYS — MR ROOS WAS THE DEVELOPER OF THAT ENGINE ALSO …
I love how one of the head bolts is inside the “manifold” directly under the carburetor.
