Changing the Changes for 2020 — The End isn’t so Near

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

Good news! I will be extending eWillys in its current form through the end of 2020.

You might remember that on January 1st of this year I mentioned I was planning on ending or making changes to eWillys in the spring of 2020. I’ve decided to delay any changes until December of 2020.

The principal reason for this is to insure that Ann and I have a smoother transition from life as we know it into our new lives in 2020, should things work out like we believe they will. What this means for you all is that you will accompany Ann and I on these upcoming changes. I know this is all a bit vague, but that’s the way it has to be for now.

So, stay tuned!

1942 Photo of Jeep Test Driven into Fuselage on eBay

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

To me, what’s most interesting about this photo is that the men are using a test fuselage.

View all the information on eBay

“1942 Press Photo Airborne Infantry handling Jeeps via aeroplane, Washington, DC. This is an original press photo. Trucks – United State. Washington, D.C. Members of The Airborne Infantry acquire great skill in handling of “Jeeps” via aeroplane. Here are men of The Airborne Infantry practicing placing a “Jeep” in an aeroplane and removing it.

1955 CJ-5 Bloomfield, NM **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ5 • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.

This CJ-5 has the early 0-10 King Seeley speedometer. I think this has a great, vintage feel to it.

1942? Flattie Reedsville, WI $13,500

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A, MB • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Looks like a solid build. If it is a 1942, there’s probably not much 1942 left on it.

“Great condition unknown miles changed out speedo”

1953 CJ-3B Bristol, ME $4500

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3B This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

It’s a project. Obviously, the seller is incorrect about the CJ-3B productions years (should state 53-69).

https://maine.craigslist.org/cto/d/round-pond-1953-willys-jeep/6980980046.html

“Straight from an island off the coast (now on the mainland) is a 1953 Willy’s Jeep.
Desirable CJ3B model (only manufactured in ‘53 and ‘54.)
Partially restored; body rough, but engine, frame, and drivetrain solid. Many new parts added to frame and motor. Bag of new parts and manual goes with it.”

1951? CJ-3B? Roscommon, MI $19,500

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3B, M-38, M-38A1 This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Based on the description, I’m guessing the seller knows very little about jeeps. No pics provided.

https://nmi.craigslist.org/cto/d/roscommon-willys-jeep-1951-cj-3b/6986396352.html

“This Korean War Era Jeep is in excellent restored condition. One piece windshield. Flat front.

Extensive restoration on the drive-train: seals, bearings, front and rear differentials, transmission, transfer case, brakes and military PTO are all in 1st class condition. Engine runs well. Starter rebuilt.

New canvas top and plastic side windows. New authentic seat covers. No rust on frame or body.
Tool kit. Army repair manual. Additional restoration parts.

The late owner was unable to complete the restoration. However the work is 95%+ complete, and with a few weekends work and the correct unit stencils this classic Jeep is ready to join the 4077th or unit of your choice.”

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $150.

Here’s a hard-to-find 4 bbl Offenhauser intake for the Buick 225.

“I have a 4bbl intake manifold for a Buick 225 V6.
Was being used on a motor that threw a rod.

Pretty hard to find these anymore, inexpensive power increase.”

Will need the brakes examined at the very least.

“1960 Willys Jeep FC170 is all original except the motor. It has a Chevy 307, 2 barrel. Three speed, four wheel drive. New Goodyear tires. I cleaned the gas tank, installed a new fuel pump, new points, condenser, rotary cap, distributor cap, New oil and filter, and new wires. I cleaned the carb and it fired right up. Some rust around the bed. I have already repaired the cab corners. Very rare to find the front bumper with bumperettes.

It needs brakes looked at. all glasswork is good except the drivers side glass. It has a plexiglass window that rolls up and down. These are very Rare jeeps, Only built from 1956 to 1965. There is a cult following for FC’s. This one is very complete. I had a leg injury that keeps me from going farther with restoration. I have other projects, so this one has to go. $7900 OBO. NO PayPal, No shipping. No personal emails. No Scams. Might consider trades that are ready to drive. (no projects)”
