Lew blames me for his newest CJ-2A 🙂

Lew wrote, In the past couple years that I have been watching eWillys I have bought two Willys that were shown here … But this latest was completely your fault. I didnt need a CJ2A. But after watching them for that time on your site, I contracted the disease that I thought was isolated to the wagons, and maybe trucks. So now for at least a year I have looking pretty hard for one for my wife, except she didnt know it and I wasnt sure she would go for it anyway.

At a museum a few months ago I showed her an old MB and asked what she thought. To my amazement she said she thought it was cute and would be fun to drive. That from a woman who has driven pretty much pick ups her whole life thus far. Well a couple weeks ago one showed up in a nearby state that fit our needs and at a negotiated price I could justify. I went and got it and she has been driving it around our farm until it gets registered.

These are checking out the fall colors here in N. UT. We both really enjoy this. Should never have sold our MB ten years ago, and the wagon lacks the topless views, so due to your efforts, we now have this and big smiles.

So, I just wanted to let you know it is your fault that my wife and I now have another Willys and the smiles that come with it.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1300.

“For sale or trade is what we believe is a CJ-2A
The jeep has the transmisson, and 4 cylinder engine still intact but is missing the carburator.

The frame is in solid shape, no spots in which it is rusted through, no holes or anything. The front end is in relatively good condition too. The fenders are also solid, not super rusted however there is some spots in which they have rusted through. The dash has the original gauges, shifters and steering wheel. The headlights pictured are also in great shape. ”

No title.

“Listing my 1952 Korean war Willys M38 Jeep. S/N 70728. Runs good but does smoke a bit. Body is super with only rust on floorboards in front and one small place on drivers side. No dents!! Frame still has paint on it in places. Gas tank has a small leak but can easily be repaired. Paint is ugly!! Was originally O.D. Green, than primed and painted Air Force Blue and Lettering on the hood that says “Personnel Services”. I sanded it a bit to be able to read what it said. Under that the original unit numbers are just barely visible. Than it was painted red. Has been converted to 12 volt system but the 24v wiring harness is still there. Drives and shifts fine and no problems with transfer case either. Will need a brake job. Had military mud flaps on the rear so I suspect it was used on the flight line at some point. VERY RESTORABLE!!”

the rust might not be too bad.

According to ABC News, Sydney mechanic Gary Moore and his dog Sasha will spend more than a year traveling around Australian in a 1942 MB. His trailer looks pretty early, too.

Ann leaves on Friday morning to join her mother in New Mexico and help her drive the motorhome somewhere (It’s a to-be-determined situation). Thus, I’m spending some extra time with her, which means I’m behind on emails and posts. So, my apologies for unreturned emails. I’ll be catching up on Friday!

It looks like Chrysler-Fiat-AMC-Daimler-Benz, or whomever owns them anymore, is resurrecting the Jeep Grand Wagoneer for 2018.
