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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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 .

The new Great Willys Picnic Banner unfurled!
We started out the morning in Reading, PA. Our first objective was to meet Seth in Kempton. I felt bad about not being around for the Picnic, so meeting up with Seth was the next best thing.
On Friday we drove from Reading, Pennsylvania, to Sea Cliff, New York.
Seth’s place is hidden among some of the endless Pennsylvania hills. It’s east to see how much fun having a jeep would be for cruising all the quiet backgrounds in the area.
Another quiet Pennsylvania road.
This is one of many old barns in excellent condition set against a quaint backdrop.
By the time we arrived, Seth and his wife Heather were waiting for us at their house atop a windy hill. It’s a great vintage looking home that was built only ten years ago. Their son Levi wanted to join us, but had to go to school instead. I signed a poster and told him I’d try to get to the Picnic next year.
Seth volunteered to get his jeeps out of the shed (despite some drizzle) so we could photograph them. We didn’t have to push either of them! He’s got some additional jeeps in back that serve as parts vehicles. Seth also got a few neat signs on the walls.
Ann and I enjoyed their company very much and look forward to more time next year! Thanks for the coffee cake, too! Here are a few pics:
Marc spotted this crazy jeep.
“You are looking at a 1946 Willys CJ2A Jeep. The jeep has been totally customized we bought this from an estate who had this jeep done about 25 years ago. The rear of the jeep has been customized into a rear trunk storage area. The jeep runs and drives good with no problems. We believe that the engine is a chevy 283 V8, the transmission is the original 3 speed standard. the wipers, turn signals, and lights all work. The body is in really nice shape with no rust or holes the paint is really nice. there is a small paint blemish on the right front fender. The jeep comes with a soft top and doors there are also some extra covers that come with it that I believe are used to keep elements out when the car is parked with the top off. The top is in good shape. The under carriage is decent no holes in floor however the frame has been repaired in front on both sides near the shock see pics. The interior is in really nice shape with a custom fit carpet the seats are nice with custom wool stitched into the seat. This is a very unique jeep that someone put a lot of time and money into, this jeep is in very good shape for the year.”

Henry performing ‘toppage’ on a Jeepster in a downpour . . .
Today we plan on visit Bill and Henry at Lime Street Carriage in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
On Thursday we drove from Ronks, Pennsylvania, to Reading, Pennsylvania.
Ann and I awoke to a rainy morning in Ronks, PA. I’m not certain Ronks is a town, but it’s definitely a street. I do know for certain there’s a Waffle House off of Ronks street because we ate a midnight dinner there last night, because I wanted some grits: scrambled eggs, bacon and grits to be exact. Yeah, I know their butter is really hydrogenated oil coupled with other ingredients requiring a chemistry masters to decipher; I enjoyed my grits just the same.
Our goal today was Bill Reiss’ Lime Street Carriage in downtown Lancaster. Ronks is only a short drive away, so it didn’t take long for us to get there. When we arrived at Bill’s, he showed us around his current showroom of jeeps (and other vehicles) for sale. He explained that he’s in the middle of a renovation. His building was formerly a Studebaker dealership and other businesses. He laughed about the seven layers of carpet and three false ceilings he’s torn out of one area of the building. On the plus side, he was able to open up a great deal of space. Even though there’s plenty of work left, it’s easy to see how great the space will be when he’s done.
Here are Bill and I checking out a few of the jeeps in his shop. There are several 2As and a CJ-5 lined up there.
Here are twins Norm (on the left) and Norma. Norma is named Norma, because she’s prettier.
Bill has this vintage truck for sale.

UPDATE: **SOLD** WAs $5000.
Chad asked me to post this for him.
“This is a 1943 Ford Jeep project car. I purchased it with the idea of completing it and flipping it for a profit. However, my model A rat rod has taken precedence and I have to reluctantly sell it in order to complete my A. The engine and brakes are rebuilt or restored with zero time on them since the rebuild. All body parts and interior are new. The chassis needs some repair where a previous owner had welded some things to the front and rear of it. ”
