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.

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).

Did a quick trip to Seattle. Just a few updates today. Back on Monday.

Today, my son and I return to Salt Lake and I’ll spend the day with my other two kids. On Monday, I’ll be heading for Winnemucca, then turn north for Silver City, Idaho for a little remote mountain exploring.

That’s a quick summary of this quick trip. Though I’ll be gone.

This CJ-5 powered a winch to hoist materials for a building under construction in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. It was featured in the January 1858 issue of Willys News.

I took last night off, so just a couple updates today. More on Sunday. Next weekend (June 5/6) I may be taking several days off, as my oldest son wants to take me canyoneering in Moab (rappelling down an arch is how he described it). Should be fun!

There was a website hiccup Monday night, so I didn’t get a chance to do updates. So, we’ll skip a day and do them on Tuesday morning.

Next updates Sunday morning. Enjoy your weekend!

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.

(04/22/2016) Seller describes six pics, but only posted two.

Chris tells me he’s heading for Pennsylvania this weekend. Besides looking for and selling parts, he can also haul parts or jeeps. Contact him at nscustoms@hotmail.com if you think you can use him.

I’m heading out to PA this weekend. Do you know of any parts or people needing parts? I’m needing pto parts, parts jeeps, seat frames, engines, od, tailgates, windshield frames, etc. Have to save them, right?

UPDATE: **SOLD** at auction for $19,500. Bus spotted a video posted on Facebook about the auction. Unfortunately, I can’t get a direct link. You’ll have to scroll down a couple of posts. https://www.facebook.com/antiquecarpartsauction/?fref=nf 

Upon our return home on Friday we learned there’d been a kitchen faucet leak. No damage to the cabinet, but the leaking faucet led to a new sink/faucet combo. So, there was no time for eWillys updates for Sunday. Updates will resume Monday morning!

I received an email with the following question. We are nearly home and I don’t have time to research it. Anyone know the answer?

I’m currently rebuilding, for a customer, a 1940 willys 4 cyl. It has babbitted connecting rods and I was wondering if standard later model rods could be substituted?

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500.

Has a few M-38 parts on it.

“I have for sale a rust free willys this is a running jeep it’s nice it needs a few things to be completely done but it’s ready to use or ride in the parades now”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15,900.

“1960 FC-150 for sale.   This is an original, fully functional FC-150 that was restored in the early 1990’s.   The drivetrain was rebuilt, and it was painted in original colors.   There is now enough patina to make it cool and it’s in a perfectly useable condition.   I’ve driven it 150+ miles in a day and it does great.  It will cruise along at 50mph.”

It’s an early ’47 based on the body tag and serial number (matching).

“1942 cj 2a jeep willys up for trade or sale. Looking for best offer or nice sport quads. Needs a battery, and maybe little wiring done to it to get it to run. A little restore was done on it 10+ years ago, Sat out in the weather for a few years. I picked it up from a buddy’s dad. Minimal surface rust but no bad spots at all. Motor turns over but has no spark. Needs a good home. Bill of sale only. Needs to be taken to WSP for a vin inspection to get title. I did most of the home work on that issue and it’s pretty simple.”

May be worth a look.

Next updates Sunday morning.

Chris from Minnesota is looking for an original rear seat for a CJ-3B. If you know of one email me or comment below and I will let him know.
