1958 CJ-3B Afton, WY $5800
That’s one large front bumper! Despite that, it looks like a good price.
“Good condition Jeep Willys. Engine runs great, recently replaced the water pump. Brakes are good, recently replaced the parking brake cable. Body in good condition with no major rust. Set up for towing behind another vehicle. Has a PTO off the transmission which runs the winch. Lights and gauges work, but speedometer does not work. This jeep is clean and ready to head out in the mountains or just cruise around town.
Located in Afton, WY. 3.5 hour drive from Salt Lake valley. ”
1952 M-38A1C Cookesville, IL eBay
Most importantly, does it fire live rounds? lol … I wonder why the rear rims are a dark semi-gloss that doesn’t match everything else? Learn more about the M-38A1C.

No Updates Tuesday
UPDATE: This should have posted this morning, but the newest version of WordPress has a glitch that causes posts to randomly miss their scheduled appearance.
Despite Charter Communication’s claim of ‘Blazing Speeds’, last night it was more like tortoise speeds. It was so slow I couldn’t get their Internet Speed Test to work. So, I’d say that calls for the evening off. I’m sure everything will be working by tomorrow night.
1945 MB Tucson, AZ $11,000
Looks nice, lacks combat rims and rear floating hubs.

Happy Fourth of July!
Just a Couple Updates Saturday
Just a couple updates today, though it certainly isn’t for lack of content. There was a noticeable increase in jeeps for sale last month that was constant throughout the entire month. We may be looking at the leading edge of another recession.
SLAG Is Here .. In Limited Numbers
I’m ready to release a small number of books … 12 to be exact. These first books are signed copies and will be $30 (with free shipping). Around the end of July I will be making the book available to everyone, with signed copies available from me or unsigned copies through Amazon. You can learn more about the book at my new author’s site: http://www.deilers.com/.
Though I’ve done my best to squash all the grammatical errors, I’m sure I’ve missed a few. So, as a part of this first round of books I’ll be offering a bounty of $5 per error if anyone wants to take me up on it (up to a max of $100 or 20 errors — not person but total). When you order the book I’ll explain how to send the errors you find to me. I’m only making this offer to the twelve eWillys readers who purchase this version.
If you want a book, drop me an email (d@ewillys.com) that includes your mailing address. I’ll explain how to pay (I’ll take check or paypal).
