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 .
Craig found this photo from the August 1956 issue of Willys News
I remember Taylor Motor sales from my Childhood; in 1956 when this photo was dated, I was 6 years old and very much into convincing my father to buy a Willys Jeep. There were a few of these Willys tow trucks in my neighborhood; Fred’s Gulf, Peoples Shell Service, Clifton, Marty’s Chevron (Calso) in Garfield, And Ziggie’s Phillip’s 66 in Little Falls, NJ. These rigs were considered the perfect service vehicle and many local gas stations traded up from their older CJ models. Taylor Auto was around up into the late 1960’s The Willys dealership didn’t last that long for what ever reason; by 1960 Taylor was no longer a willy Jeep dealer, now just selling used cars specializing in foreign makes. I always wondered why they called him “Red”, because by the time I knew of him, his hair had already turned Grey.
P.S. It’s hard to read the lettering on the door of the Willys, I think it is “Sal’s Texaco”, If that’s the case, I also knew the owner of the Willys Pickup; He later had a Texaco, changed to Shell Station On Alps Road, Wayne, NJ and was my Uncle Joe’s Mechanic. A little bit of trivia to ad to the story.
