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: This is not for sale.
Roger shared these pics of an air-cooled engine he has. He showed it off at this year’s Willys Rally. It’s an air-cooled engine with “WILLYS” cast on the valve cover and intended for use as a generator, though he was told it was the same engine used in the M-274 Mule.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $100.
Steve spotted this block. Maybe someone can use it?
“I have for sale a used 1954 6-cylinder Kaiser Darrin 161 CI (2.6L) Willys Hurricane F-head bare cylinder block. It has the main caps and does have some surface rust from sitting. It appears that the cylinders have been bored .020 over as they measure 3.30” from the standard 3.10” bore. Other than a broken exhaust manifold stud just ahead of the #2 exhaust port, this block doesn’t appear to have any issues at all and it has all 4 original main caps and bolts. I would like to get $100 for the block plus shipping if needed. Local pickup would certainly be preferred but I can ship via truck freight.”
Bill spotted this F-head for sale.

“Was running engine pulled from a ’52 or later Willy’s. Its only missing the carb and the distributor cap. Otherwise is complete with bellhousing. Will accept reasonable offers, no delivery. Has been stored with oil in it, intake manifold covered, and plugs in the head so it is a running core. You will need to pick up.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $600.
Might be a good price.
“Two rebuildable CJ2A Jeep motors. Approximately 1946 vintage. Must be picked up. Sold as is.”

(04/29/2020) Not sure what all is here, but in the pics I can see some L-head and F-head engines.

“Just pulled out of a Willy’s jeep it was in. Runs good no issues, comes with Willy’s adapter new clutch and belhousing. Believe this fits many skid loaders, and other equipment also.
Maybe some parts value? Unclear whether they are f-heads or l-heads.

UPDATE: Thanks to Mark for correcting me. I thought that was a head (black color), but it’s actually the standard exhaust.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $225.
This may be aWWII engine. Most interesting is the custom exhaust. I wonder what carb intake setup was used.
“Willy’s Jeep engine, I think a 1942 to 1948 . Turns over , as is. Will remove from the chassis it’s bolted to. Local pick up only, can load with fork lift.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.

Marty’s got this Tornado engine and bell housing for sale.
“I have a complete tornado 230 engine for sale. Complete wirh flywheel, clutch and pressure plate, bell housing, starter, 12 volt alternator mounted on the engine, also have the original 6 volt alternator to go with, i have a factory power steering pump with mount and hoses thats not mounted too.

I was goimg to use it in my wagon but my build plans have changed.”

“1946 4-cylinder Flathead Engine. Taken out of a 1947 CJ2 Willys Jeep $150”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $650.
Scott spotted this engine for sale. It seems a good price, but I don’t follow this market too closely. This combined with the Overland Diesel kit makes a good setup.
“I have a good running 4 cyl kubota IDI diesel engine. Spins freely, works well. About 3500 hrs. Was my back up skid steer engine. Did a full overhaul on my old engine. No longer need this. This motor does run.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $400.
“Prime candidate for rebuild, disassembled and fully cleaned. Standard bore and crank. Including oil pan and all pictured parts . T90,Dana18 .$650.00”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $450.
Could be worth a look. Given the oil filter bracket, this may be a CJ-3A era engine.
“Here is a Willys Jeep Industrial engine that originally powered a welder. The welder was bad and scrapped. This engine is loose and turns over but I’ve never heard it run; it was supposedly running when the welder unit failed. Should make a good engine for parts or might be restored. I understand these were used in the early Willys Jeeps including the CJ2A. Asking 450 or make an offer. It will part out for more than my asking price, so if it doesn’t sell soon I’ll just part it out. Text is best. If you are reading this ad then it’s still available; please be serious as I’ve dealt with all the deadbeats I want to.”
This should interest someone.

(06/23/2020) Here’s a rare pairing. Somewhere I had an advertisement for Willys marine engines in a Florida newspaper from 1946, but I can’t find that ad at the moment.
“This unit has been in storage for a long time. The pistons are not stuck. Carburetor needs to be freed up and cleaned out. MB 564093 Marine Power Unit. 134 c.i.d.. This is a non running military engine that has been in storage. I see no cracks or breaks in the castings. I separated the engine and gear box so they could be mounted on my engine stands. After removing the oil pan and cylinder head and checking it out, I loosely assembled it just to keep things all together. The generator is a 6 volt, 40 amp. and the starter motor & bendix look good.
The “marine drive” gear box that was mounted on the engine has a multiple disc wet clutch with “knuckle in” engagement and by moving the lever in the other direction knuckles the clutch out, goes into neutral and will begin to apply a band brake as lever movement continues. Box is full of oil and looks good. The universal coupling behind the box is very heavy duty. The engine flywheel is drilled and tapped for a vehicle clutch assembly, but is still yet a clutch virgin. Starter gear shows very, very little wear. I will be happy to open things back up (engine and gear box) with a interested person present.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $375.
Seller will throw in the stand for $50.
“Have an early Willy’s Go Devil engine which turns freely, head bolts all turn nicely, no visible cracks but I have not had it scanned. Wilson Foundry W4 mold, cast number 838632. Serial number behind oil filter was grown down or never there, believe that is because the engine was overhauled at some point in its life. Not sure on that. It came as a package when I purchased my 46 CJ2A and I don’t need it. Toss in 50 bucks and you can have the stand. Hope the pictures add value. If the post is up, it is available. Cash only, pick up only.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500.
Seller will thrown in a second F-head for free.
“For sale 1952 Jeep Willys Engine, Manual transmission and two stick transfer case. Engine was running, it smoked a little bit, transmission and transfer was working fine. The electrical it’s already converted to 12 Volts. I’m asking 500.00 or best offer. Hablo Español. I can throw an extra identical engine for free.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $200.
There could be parts value here.
“Original Willys Flat head pulled from 48′ willys pickup. Engine has not been started in several years. Engine only.
AS IS!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $525.
Seller notes that one cylinder might be low on compression.
“Selling a circa 1949 Willys Jeep L134 engine. Serial number on block looks like 3J31507. This came out of a 1949 CJ-3A so has the proper front plate with the mounting flange bent forward on the drivers side (to accommodate the fuel pump). Could be used in other models by swapping out the front plate (or making an adapter). It was a runner, but my recollection on the history was that one of the cylinders was low on compression and a fresher engine was swapped in it’s place. So expect that this engine needs a rebuild. But is NOT stuck, spins free.
I swapped a lot of the components over at the time to that fresher jeep engine so this is missing some of the external components such as the starter, generator, distributor, etc. I stored this engine inside, so was not sitting outside in the elements; it’s NOT rusty and crusty… It’s a great core to start a restoration with. Please study the photos as they form a part of the description. Stand not included, just the engine. Engine is located in Andover, NH.”
