CJ-5 Jeep Business $7,000 Murrieta, CA

This could be a good opportunity for someone to get in the mix and follow your passion for Jeep Willys. (I don’t have any background on this ad, for example is it $7k for everything listed?)

Information from seller:

We’ve moved to a new location, and we’re phasing out the CJ5 restoration business. Here’s a great opportunity to expand or start a restoration business for Jeeps. Included are 4+ CJ5s, a roller M38, several 225 V6 engines, an inline 6, 138 F-head, crates of parts, pallets of axles, xfer/trans etc. Plus another location of parts not pictured! Come out and have a look. We’re doing early car restoration and simply don’t have the room to continue with the jeeps. Please include your phone number, that’ll show that you have actual interest. Hopefully that will weed out the “is this still available” crowd and show that you actually read the ad. Thanks Dave

NOVEMBER 2025 UPDATE

NOVEMBER 2025 UPDATE

Well having some internet issues this AM. Back in the day I called it “Downloading the Dinosaurs”, maybe that’s was an AOL reference, I forget but not my invention it was some ad or something that someone was sitting around waiting on the Internet to download stuff.

So welcome to November 2025, more than half way through already! It’s been a crazy few months for us but I think a very productive month. We are closing down 10k sq feet and moving in to 24k sq ft at work, so that’s been super challenging to sort through a few decades of materials and equipment pretty much everything is in boxes or storage, dumpsters, trailers, box trucks. Just chaos all around for the past 3 months.

Happy Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is right around the corner, lots to be Thankful for always a good time of year, I hope everyone gets some downtime over the holiday season.

Maybe I can preload some content to hold you over for a few days.

Happy Posting

On the eWillys front this is just about post #968 for me since late last year. Back when I started helping it literally would take 20 minutes a post at times due to either issues on my end, or connection delays. But overall days like to day where the actual internet is lagging, we really are running on a World Class back end with NetFire and they really are a huge reason for how we are here. When I took a shot at this one of my main concerns was hosting, I knew I had their support and they really put a lot of work into the site with multiple developers helping along the way.

If you are in need of a solution to a technology something from MSP to Website, or looking to get your app developed please check them out, you can email me as well post@ewillys.com and I can put you in contact with someone over there as well or answer any questions I can.

eWillys on YouTube

Started a YouTube channel for eWillys on Nov 4th, the intent there was to be able to post small shorts for people to get some more visibility to their for sale ads.

It’s a huge platform, definitely does not work the way I thought it was going to work. But the reach when “they” want to promote your content adds 1k to 2k additional views. But is all Algorithm controlled, I have played around with some of our photos and grabbed a few of each type, then overlay a song. For dedicate For Sale ads they don’t get any views and are hidden away by the Algorithm. I guess with a Subscriber base that would be something that people are looking at. First will work on the actual content and go from there.

You can’t really link back to the site that has been disabled for a few years, so I try to add in some description and people will just have to search out eWillys.

In 15 days the small videos got 12.2k views and 36.6 hours of watch time across 13 shorts and one video. The watch time to me is amazing, but I don’t know if this will net anything, the time to make one is very minimal maybe 3 minutes to make one. So not a big ask of time. Will work on it.

To monetize this is very hard you need many subscribers and watch hours. “Shorts” forget it you need 3 million views over 90 days and 500 subscribers, that is not my goal for the site or that, was hoping to get some sort of additional view for folks to sell their rigs, +100 targeted views on an ad is pretty huge to a seller. That’s what eWillys provides a few hundred views on the ad and then it pretty much gone to the bottom. I think we grab a few thousand but how targeted are those I figure a fraction of those.

Overall with each and every ad I don’t have any skin in the game here on this. The google ad sense does very well when enabled and I really dialed in those at the time when they shut me down for who knows what reason, so that is an option , but they just clog up the site with click bait and links it makes great revenue but I still have them turned off for now.

Feel free to check out and if you like it Subscribe to the channel for more eWillys content.

Thanks to everyone for checking out eWillys! Hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanks, Tim

Fall 2025

There is a lot going on in this issue as always,

Roberto Flores provided a very great article on a local Jeep Event in Spain along with a full page Cartoon Corner. Roberto is a wonderful Artist, Cartoonist, Illustrator, Author and so much more, its fun to see his work and looks like he had a very good time at this event, great to catch up reading his content.

  • Coverage of Camprodon Terra da Jeeps 2025
    • Camprodon is a small town in the comarca of Ripollès in Girona, Catalonia, Spain, located in the Pyrenees, near the French border. (search for the lift there on the location)
  • Here is a cool video of that event as well that I was able to find.

 

Other Events covered…..

  • 2025 Willys Fall Reunion
  • Bowler of Bust Vintage Jeep Rally

Technical Articles

  • Vintage Jeeper covers Pinion Seals.
    • Looking over this one I now see why the re-pop pinion seals are IMO trash and have a metal lip to them, they look to be supplied that way on some Dana 18 stuff, I have tried these and they are horrible.
    • This article would have saved me a lot of headache when I was rebuilding my one unit and I had purchased one of the re-pop seals and it just did not work at all, I moved to a very similar seal that Sal covers the ins and out on this.
    • This is really a time saver if you are thinking of tackling you Pinion Seal, review this one prior.

Historical Articles

  • Willys MA
    • If you want to dig deep into the Willys MA and it history, multiple pages and just amazing photos as always are in this issue.
    • The historical significance of the Bantam, Willys, Ford work done on these early rigs just can not be understated how important of a project this was for the World at this time.
    • Looking a the photos and seeing some of the same parts used well into the 60’s on production models is just really neat. Then to know of the full re-pop market that is still going strong.

Progress Build Report

  • The Good, The Bad, The Ugly
    • Bill Norris continues his articles on his 1963 Delivery Wagon with the infamous 230_OHC Tornado. He started these articles last issue. You can also follow along some of his stuff over on OldWillysForum.com as he works through that project.

Classified Ad’s

  • Just one more place to send your For Sale and Wanted Ad’s, you get some great reach with The Dispatcher. this is a pretty targeted approach for you to post your Rig For Sale. Basically you need to cross post your stuff at times to get the folks who are looking to see it.
  • Don’t overlook this spot.

Roberto Flores Cartoonist / Willys Contributions and much more!

Roberto Flores sent over a few of his behind the scenes for some of his work. They are really great. He has an amazing body of work that is much more then Jeeps and Willys. (check out the links below the photos)

Roberto is a long time contributor to eWillys going back to 2012 is the earliest I was able to find references of his work and Dave would always post up his sketches he would provide. I’m happy to keep that tradition going and post up the current batch of the behind the scenes.

But anyone who subscribes to The Dispatcher Magazine will immediately recognize his work, he has been a valued contributor for that team since the Winter 2021/2022 issue, and has at times tossed in references to eWillys, many Thanks from us!

If you grab the current issue you will see a great example of the Jeep-A-Drill cartoon! He has a long relationship with eWillys; he also did a very awesome piece for the Alaska or Rust trip back in 2017. There is so much more to explore. I really appreciate the ability to share these with the larger group so you can see what goes into some of these, the details are really neat.

Please check out his website and other social media for more behind the scenes and details of his great work. Also if you would like to commission a project he has contact info on his website for your unique project.

Happy Time Change? for some, maybe…

Moving into the next season for a lot of us the time change is a double edge deal, the AM are brighter but now it’s dark in the early evening. But there are a lot of folks that will be doing Late Fall and Winter Projects to get their Willys ready for Spring.

Maybe your a Willys Vendor and want to promote a new something or a sale, happy to post up something let me know. post@ewillys.com

I have a few videos to post, need to find some time to do those 2, it’s not plug and play there, but will get them posted up.

Thanks for following along.

Nate scored another Willys Light, he sure has a knack for these.

Details from Nate:

I just wanted to share my latest finds. I picked up another WIllys sleeve valve light plant, I also came with a glass battery, a watch fob, some literature, a sign that was used a roof shingle and a cutaway salesman model that shows how the sleeve valves work. I will be making a video on all this stuff when I get the engine running.
