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 .

Too expensive for me but very interesting. I though only Perkins Diesel engine was used. Still learning!
That is the 4 cylinder Perkins. I have the exact one in my Fordson tractor. Very dependable and easy to work on, rarely tho.
The Indenor industries was related with Peugeot and not at all with Perkins. My french is very good and I have a Jeep perkins engine in my 1965 CJ… but I may be wrong. I just discovered it yesterday and I’m learning it. The french people did a lot of things with the jeep, we just need to think about the hotchkiss. The European was also in advance on diesel. I also believe that the A4.192 was used in the massey MF65 MK1 tractor. I was not aware about the fordson.
Barry meant to reply with this note (he accident sent it to me)
Yes these engines were used in the early Massey Ferguson tractors too. I order my parts from Ford or older Massey parts dealers. The Perkins 3 cylinder is almost identical with the exception of being chopped off and shorter. The hydraulic fuel pump sits where the primer button is on the 4 cylinder’s fuel injector body and is driven off the injector’s cam and lubed by the diesel fuel in the injector’s bowl. The primer is on the bottom of the fuel pump (thumb power) as the 3 cylinders where in most Fordson Dextras as in my 51 model. The 4 cylinder is in my Fordson Super Dextra. I like these tractors because parts interchanges with many other brands. But here’s the kicker. Both of my engines were made in India for Perkins. Hope this helps. Maybe France was allowed to produce them too or ordered them stamped the way they wanted them. I hope this helps. Plus Fordsons came with the high and low range unlike Fords during that time frame. I don’t know about the Massey Fergusons.
Sorry, but Thanx Dave!
