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 .
Steve spotted this unusual item. I am unfamiliar with the block heaters. Is this a general item for a variety of engines (jeep and non jeep) or specific to the F-134s?

“Block heater that came out of a 1961 Willys CJ5 with the F134 Hurricane engine.”
This is an electric heater that’s spliced into the cooling system of any vehicle operated in very cold weather. An extension cord is plugged into an electrical outlet and the other end is connected to the 3 prong plug to provide power to heat the element in the cooling system to keep the engine reasonably warm (compared to the ambient temperature) while parked. Years ago it was common to see cars and trucks going down the road trailing a 25 or 50 foot extension cord when the drivers forgot to disconnect them from the electrical outlet before driving away. I’d bet most of the auto parts stores still sell these engine heaters for less than 25 dollars.
We have at least a couple NOS AMC Jeep block heaters in our inventory. They install in a freeze plug location.
Bought a new 78 Pontiac Bonneville and installed an inline heater in the lower radiator hose. Worked great!
These things were especially helpful in the days of the carbureted vehicles.
