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’ve thought about using the diesel from my rabbit and mount the diesel in my CJ3B. The add has peaked my interest in a drop in diesel motor. I wonder how much a drop in diesel motor will cost? .
Just winter dreaming for now. Merry Christmas to All on the eWillys website.
Sure seems like an ideal engine for these. Maybe 1962 was the beginning of when these were available(?) But even so, why dont we see more of these in old Willys? Was the cost significantly higher?
Mark: The challenge is locating an engine. After Mitch’s died, he had a heck of a time finding another. I was able to locate one for him, but only one.
Lew: I have yet to run across information on the cost. But, Mitch really enjoyed the diesel’s offroad capability in his CJ-6. The downside was that with his hardtop on, the inside would get quite dieselly smelling.
Page four might be crowded, but I love that “versatility” graph and panel on the lower right ofpage 1.
I love the comment “The absence of carbon monoxide from a diesel’s exhaust gases make it safe for operation in confined spaces like mines, warehouses and airplane hangers”. What?!?
Mark C coughing at his keyboard.
Dan: That versatility chart appeared on several brochures of that era. I might not have scanned them all yet.
Mark: I think they meant you won’t die immediately from a diesel’s exhaust gas. It’s more of a slow painful death from which Jeep doubts they can be blamed for contributing to your death.
I actuly have this brochure, picked it off the dealer’s rack back in 1963. I remember the day.
