Ten Million Page Views!

• CATEGORIES: Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Yep, I’ve pulled out some confetti to celebrate the ten millionth page view, which occurred at approximately 11:50PM September 14th PST.  To give a little context, every time a web page on eWillys is viewed, my webhost software records it.  The count began January of 2008.  It has taken over 4 1/2 years to reach ten million, with most of that coming in the last two years.  I’ve been watching the numbers closely over the last few months, waiting for the final day to arrive.

Ok, that’s enough celebrating.  The next milestone should be hit sometime around Halloween when I put up the 20,000th post.

Chicago Area Jeep/Willys Mechanics

• CATEGORIES: wanted This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Bob has a M-38 with the original 24 volt system that isn’t running.  He lives in Chicago and is having a difficult time finding anyone who knows about jeeps and can handle a 24 volt system. Does anyone know of a mechanic in the Chicago area?  Comment below and I’ll make sure Bob gets the information.

• CATEGORIES: M-170 • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was on eBay.

The bidding for this has already reached $18,000.  This is an extremely detailed restoration.

“1955 Willys Military M-170 Military Jeep up for auction. This Willys has gone through an extensive, nut and bolt, frame-off, total restoration.

Willys produced just over 4000 of these Jeeps for the military, making it one of the rarest Jeeps ever produced, the civilian version (the CJ-6) was offered to the public a few years later.

No expense was spared to bring this Jeep to the condition you see here today. The Jeep was taken down to the frame, the engine,transmission,axles,brakes,electrial systems and interior are NEW.

Please look at the many photos and notice the attention to detail, and the completeness of this museum quality restoration, this Jeep is NEW, NOS, COMPLETE, and BEAUTIFUL.

All M-170 components are present and correct, which is crucial, as many parts are specific to this vehicle ONLY.”
