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 .
Glenn shared this news clip of a 12-acre antique car junkyard that’s being transformed into a museum.
Wow, What a great idea, a museum of time past, well worth the twenty dollar admission just to roam through till my heart & soul are content. For me, better than going to Disneyworld.
Where is this Guilford, anyway?
I think Maine, I was asking myself the same question, then I spotted a Maine license plate on one of the old wrecks in the back among the the trees.
Guilford is in Central Maine, Route 150 between Skowhegan and Dover Foxcroft. This old Willys Dealership, Cookson’s Garage, was run by a personal friend, the second generation owner. They didn’t throw anything away so when I couldn’t buy his old dealership literature, I bought a single sheet copier and went there, spending much time listening to old stories while photo copying many goodies. Lots of Willys History is learned by knowing more about their Dealer / Factory relationships.
Glennstin, Your info about Cookson’s Garage reminds me of my own experience in NJ, Rowett’s Garage in Franklin, NJ Sussex County was an old time Willys dealer dating back to the 1940’s. Got to know Mr. Rowett quite well, after he passed away, his daughter let me rummage through his stock of vintage parts, found a lot of gems. She told me a story about the old days, that Kaiser Jeep sent them so much literature, that they ended up burning most of it. I felt privileged, just to be trusted and allowed to roam at will.
Burnt the literature? Oh the horror! (lol .. I get why they did it, but I could use some of that!!).
looks like my yard — only rustier
That is very cool. Pretty out of the way trip for most, but I’d spend $20 to roam around. There’s a similar place in Georgia.
What a bummer; I was in Maine last week, would have been a great side trip if I’d only knew. Now back in Oregon, so no can do.
