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 .
This May 1957 article from Willys News highlights the dependability of jeeps in cold weather.
I have seen that kind of cold a lot before and understand the importance of having your vehicle start. We have better batteries and equipment now and can’t imagine trying to be that daring back then
Brrrrrrrrr! 6 volt rigs turn over slow to begin with. Imagine 63 below zero on top of that, yikes!
I was wondering how they kept their gas from getting too cold? Imagine my surprise during my first winter in Wisconsin that gasoline get’s too cold to flow (I would say it froze, but that’s not exactly the case).
Coldest I’ve ever been in was 35 below and trying to start Chevy V8 diesels.
Up here in northern MN we get windchill factors of 60- 70 below zero and that sucks. I don’t even think about taking a jeep out or the diesel for that matter. That’s why this article amazes me
I know it does not normally get that cold here except the last couple winters with wind chills of -40,but try keeping outboard motors running in January sub-zero temps in Pittsburg,PA. or Newark,N.J.Or diesels with summer fuel that gels up or winter fuel that has been treated but still gets too much condensate and freezes at 5 below.Its all so much fun,right! π Back to the posting,great story as allways,Dave!
