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: **SOLD** Was $9000
(10/15/2017) “all rebuilt, ready to go sand or street or show what ever you wish, the power plant is a chevy 2 four cyl. 300 hp. muncie 4 speed warren overdrive, 538 gears .let me show you some picturs.”
A four cylinder putting out 300 hp makes me wonder how horsepower is being measured nowadays. It used to be at the rear wheels. But I’m hearing it is now measured at the crank. I also wonder what RPMs a naturally aspirated 4 cylinder needs to be turning to produce 300 hp.
Just the intake manifold design alone suggests that thought and money was put into this engine, but I agree that some solid evidence is needed to verify the HP claim in this case. I imagine the seller is approximating the 300hp (probably rounding up).
That said, during the 1980s there was A LOT of backyard testing and custom work being done to Pontiac, Ford, and GM 4cyl engines in the PNW4WDA racing circuit, with the Chevy II being a popular engine to modify. Some folks were more successful than others, but ideas were being exchanged through out the association.
The Canadian-based Rapid Transit, one of the fastest drag jeeps I personally ever saw race (also had a very unique sound), raced in the unlimited bracket and was powered by a Pontiac 4cyl.
What are the tail lights out of? One of the better looking custom options IMO.
Dave, I don’t recognize the tail lights, but the Tail Light King might have them or recognize them: https://www.taillightking.com
