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 just thought this looked interesting. It’s the first I have heard of a Willys Flathead used as a marine motor.

I’ve only seen one, and I had to buy it. My marine output actually mounts on the front of the engine, not the rear. It’s on an L-head. I suppose it would mount on an F-head, too.

Marine engine…..more like boat anchor! lol
I had one that had two cyl. blocked off (From the fact.) and was used as a pwer plant for a search light.
Interesting … I tried to find more information about the search light setups, but didn’t have any luck.
All of my family members call each one of my Willys treasures “boat anchors”.
Windyhill, are we related? (lol)
I bought two L-head boat motors simultaneously. The other marine engine was a Universal, which I’m still learning about.
Yes, I’ve always wondered if the old L4-134 marine setup would ever be needed by anyone. I’d like to see some pictures of the type of vessel that was powered by an L4-134. Was it a barge, a Vee hull???
I’d also be interested in seeing the two cyl generator setup. That’s a bit of history I’ve never seen! I have an old welder made with an L4, but it runs on all four.

It looks like saltwater application with raw water intake. Corrosion/rust–not good. Tom in Maine( marina owner)
