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 .

if you can make your boy a jeep, can you also make your jeep a boy ?
Wonder if you can still get the plans. Our daughter would love this.
Al: So introspective this morning. Just what got in your coffee?
Dan: I can tell you that googling variations of “gazette pattern department Montreal jeep” proved fruitless. I did my best to find you some plans 🙂 I have a few others, but nothing for the boy/girl power jeep.
Thanks Dave. Once the new garage is set-up, I’d love to build her a Willys bed, akin to one of these:

I think I have a couple jeep designs buried in the site. Let me know when you are at that point and I’ll see what I can find.
