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 .
UPDATE: Seller claims this as a Buick 231 V6, but it’s something different.
TJ shared this one. It’s a good price.

“Buick 231 odd fire engine. DOES RUN!!! Was bought for a jeep project but went another direction”
I’m confused (first time, I swear,lol)
That looks to be a 60* vee, not 90… and the distributor is in the back
I am confused, too. I hurriedly posted this last night, so didn’t take a good look at it.
That doesn’t look like a 231 to me either. I’ll update the post.
It is not a 90 degree design as mbullism said. There is no oil filter pad and pump body on the lower left. The front bolt pattern on the head is too close together. Could a front wheel drive engine, maybe a 231/3.8l in that config, maybe a 3.0l size.
Looks like a Chevy 2.8 to me
I don’t think it is a Buick. Doesn’t look anything like the 231 Buick in my Jeepster.
I’m leaning towards the 2.8/173 also. Early 80’s Camaros and S-10s had these. The mechanical fan mounting to the pulley says rear wheel drive application. The pulley is too bulky for Chevrolet Citations etc.
