Buying Tips

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 .

Thanks to Idaho Todd for this wonderful 2016 Halloween Willys photo.

I will be spending all (and I do mean ALL) day setting up for trick-o-treaters. My mother-law-law likes to put on a big show for the kids, so we decorate on Halloween day then take everything down after they leave. Hopefully it doesn’t rain this year!

Santa Fireplace Display

December 29, 2015 • CATEGORIES: Features, Old Images, Old News Articles • TAGS: Holiday, Jeep-Willys-News.

This December 1955 Willys News article shows a jeep exiting a fireplace in a Florida Jeep dealership. It looks too big for Santa to bring down the chimney, but a flat fender would have fit 🙂

Merry Christmas Everyone!

December 25, 2015 • CATEGORIES: Features • TAGS: Holiday, Roberto-Flores.

Just as a reminder,

Ann, my kids, and I will be spending the week in the Seattle area. I do have some updates scheduled to appear, but they will be limited. The kids leave on the 26th and Ann and I will be back in Pasco by the 27th, so I imagine normal updates will begin at least by Dec. 28th, if not earlier.

Lawrence and his dogs once again dressed up for the holidays. Thanks for the photos!

Willys Back End Liquor & Wine Bar

December 29, 2014 • CATEGORIES: Features, Unusual • TAGS: Holiday.

Here’s a heart warming story of a boy, a girl, a jeep and a Merry Christmas!

Mike writes, I wanted to take the time to share with you my Christmas present from my girlfriend. She arranged to have a local artist put together a liquor/wine bar made from the back end of a 49′ Willys. Don’t worry, the jeep was beyond repair. This bar is catered towards my specific hobbies such as my 46′ Willys, my love for Scotch, plus a few other things. I think she’s a keeper!!! Both my girlfriend and the bar!
