A few nights ago I reached the 10,000 post mark (each story or ad equals a ‘post’). I’ve been looking forward to that milestone for the last few months. It averages out to about 3,333 posts per year since the launch of eWillys, though actually most have been done in the last 2 years. If you figure an average of 15 minutes a post, then that’s about 2,500 hours of work (or 10 posts per day or just a little less than 104 days of straight work), though that doesn’t include the email correspondence or old posts that I update. I think I’ll take Saturday off!

Post 1956 CJ-3B New Hope, Pa **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Check out the Serial Number Tag. Seriously? The seller can’t spend 30 seconds to google “cj2a” and verify what they own? (and expect someone else to spend $5500)? Seriously?

1946 Flattie Saugerties, Ny $1600

(11/03/2010) This sports a fiberglass body and an unusual (probably fiberglass) hood. I’m not sure what the axles are from.

Year DJ-3A? Shelbyville, TN **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,500
(09/03/2010) The large dashboard speedometer and the cutdown entrances for driver and passenger suggest to me this is a DJ-3A body. Also, the windshield looks like the front portion of a DJ Hardtop. (see what it is supposed to look like on the CJ-3B).
“Custom Jeep Willys. 10,500 OBO gets this awsome jeep. New 3 spd T-90 Transmission and Dana Transfer Case, Tilt wheel, Power Steering , 2.3 Ltr Engine. Too much to list. Must see. Serious enquiries only please.”
1953 CJ-3B Yuma, AZ **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
(12/24/2010) Unclear how ‘little’ work needs to be done.
“Needs a little work ”
Builds: Ron nabs a Craigslist Find
A reader named Ron wrote me the other day. He spotted a great deal on a restorable truck at a great price and now has a website with pics of the early work (I’ve included a couple pics below). Click on the photogallery to see all the pics. Ron already has a 1971 CJ-5 and his son a 84 CJ-8; you can see pics of those vehicles in the photogallery as well. Congrats on the find and good luck with the rebuild!
Ron writes, “We are in the middle of the off frame restoration of the 61 Willys. It was purchased new in 61 by a lady with a farm in Connecticut. She ordered it with a snow plow and a hydraulic dump bed. It only has 22,000 miles. I bought it from her grandson.”
Here’s the truck before restoration. It looks like a good starting point.
Here’s a look at how the rear of the dump bed frame looks.
And here’s a closeup of the dump mechanism.

The flattie looks like a rust bucket.

Year? CJ-5 San Antonio, TX **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $200.
Looks like it has a PTO winch.
“I have an old willys jeep that was going to be a project for the hunting lease that never got started. So with to many projects and not enough time it has to go.

1950 Wagon Bucyrus, OH **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
The best parts might be those aluminum slot rims and tires.

Year? CJ-2A Parts Vehicle Auburn, Ca $700
UPDATE: Still Available
(11/04/2010) It’s a project.
“Maroon 1946 or so CJ-2a rolling vehicle. Comes with F-head motor, not a flathead, and f-head 134 four cylinder. I have the original trans and trans-case installed, with original axles. It has a windshield frame, no glass. There are two seats in reasonably good shape in the jeep. Lots and lots of misc. spare parts- clutch, brake, generators, oil filters, etc. I have a t-90 transmission also available if you want it. The tires are new firestone radial mud and snow-oldie style, which would really look right on a stock rebuild of a jeep or willys wagon. The chrome wheels are not what I would have on a jeep, but the tire/wheel comb is holding air without leaks for a year now. The two front fenders are in need of some patch/repair work, but are repairable. The whole body has been smoothed over with bondo. The maroon hood is complete, I have another hood which was skinned over with sheet aluminum and has a hole in the top for f-head conversion or tall v-8 air cleaner. Second pile of parts is a wrangler chassis-all boxed- with a cj-5 rear tub only. It has a GM 4.3 marine engine mounted in place. Asking 200 for this green pile.There is NO paperwork on these piles of parts, just a handwritten bill of sale from me. Calls ONLY @ 530-906-1797 ask for Mark. Thanks.”

1958 CJ-5 Delaware $1895
The price might be good on this. I can’t tell if there’s rust across the rear bottom of the windshield or if that’s just an illusion.
“runs good needs some brake work 68000 original miles 4 wheel drive works im third owner of the jeep as told to me by the first owner has some body rust but still looks good also has a small black top that is much better looking more pictures available.”

1948 CJ-2A Canyon Lake, Ca **SOLD**
UPDATE: *SOLD** Was $3300
(10/19/09) There is quite a bit of work left in this, including some body work to make the body meet the fenders.
“If you are interested in it…please call do not email or text and I will give you directions. Do not offer me anything less or I will counter with a higher price then I listed it for the price is firm… It just needs a few things like seat belts and a couple of tabs and braces welded on. This is a sick ass Willy’s Jeep 4×4 that has been stretched and has a 231 Buick fireball V6 these are old pictures before I put the other seat in. It has custom headers cherry bombs and all it needs is a little work on the shifter but runs awesome. Price should be a lot more.
