1958 Wagon JeepRod Oakland, CA $12,900

October 25, 2013 • CATEGORIES: Jeep Rods, Willys Wagons This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Interesting, but “top notch craftsmanship”?

“1958 Willys Wagon RAT ROD. Recently finished and highly executed. One of the most unique and well put together street rods available. Expensive parts throughout and dozens of hours of labor were required to produce the vehicle you see in these pictures.

This is registered and titled as a 1958 Willys and has period correct California plates. The body has been chopped and channeled and is mounted on a completely custom hand built frame.

This Rat Rod runs strong, is well sorted and very driveable. All gauges and lights are fully functional. The craftsmanship on this build is top notch. Parts alone on this rod would cost more than the asking price.

1930 Model A front suspension, super bell dropped axle 4″, with 39 Ford truck wheels and juice brakes. Rear axle is a Ford 9″ from a 72 pickup with 3.73 ratio. Standard leaf spring rear suspension. Transmission is a rebuilt C6 Auto out of a Heavy Duty Ford pickup.

The motor is a rebuilt 1968 390 bored .040 over with a new Edelbrock carb and custom exhaust pipes with baffles. Steering box is 74 Ford Pickup. Hydraulic brakes all around.

Please call with questions 415 626 1135”

Hugh’s Jeeps: Larry, Moe and Curley

October 24, 2013 • CATEGORIES: Builds, Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

I don’t know how many divorces eWillys has caused, but Hugh is pretty sure he’d be in trouble if he was married.

Hugh writes, “If it wasn’t for ewillys i wouldn’t have found these jeeps. Got them one year apart and have learned a tremendous amount between ewillys and the cj2a page. I have a highly modified jeep and a purist jeep. Your website is great Dave but costing me alot of money! Good thing im not married.”

Here’s Larry (left) and Moe (right). Larry is a fiberglass jeep that Hugh’s been slowly transforming into a MBish jeep. Moe is a pretty stock CJ-2A that hugh plans on continuing to restore as money allows.

Here are some before and after photos of Larry. Hugh’s keeping his budget tight and enjoying giving his jeep some military character. It just shows how little changes can make a big difference.

Here’s an odd item.

The brick work is 2″ bead foam carved, sealed, and painted to look look like real brick. The bar top is reclaimed Red Oak and Cypress which has been sanded, sealed, and finished with 6 coats of water resistant poly clear coat. This is a unique 1 of a kind piece that you will not find at wal mart or Home Cheapo. This would be perfect in a Jeep lovers man cave, or as a service counter at an off road shop, or even a Jeep dealership.
Its 58″ long, 25″ deep, and 42.5″ tall weighs approx.75 lbs. This is a well made,sturdy piece that you will be proud to own. Can deliver in the Orlando area for small fee.
