A Few Additional Notes

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

Only the one update (above) today. Since it is my birthday, I’m taking the day off.

On another note, four readers have emailed me saying that eWillys appears offline to them (and has for several days). Three of the four are from outside the country. My web host made some firewall changes and that might be the root cause. If you know of anyone his having troubles, have them email me. We are trying to determine just how many people are affected.

Interestingly, Pascal noted that he tried to use Google from Canada to locate the site and eWillys didn’t appear in his results. So, something strange, but limited, seems to be happening.

Stolen CJ-2A from Taos

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

Someone stole this CJ-2A. If you see the jeep for sale, either email me directly or contact the poster of this theft @ 5757700180. Listed as a 1942, it’s obviously a CJ-2A.

“Some lowlife took this motorless 42 Willys from Taos, Nm, sometime between Monday 5/26 and Saturday 5/31… there is a reward for information leading to its return.

Update: a witness saw a +/- 2000 1 ton red Dodge flatbed with my Willys on a fifth wheel trailer heading north out of Taos on Saturday 5/31… any and all information would be appreciated.”

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

Mike spotted this FJ look-alike. Is there some type of connected history between these ‘Zips’ and the FJ-3 & FJ-3As? Or was USPS dictating the design?

“BUY IT NOW OR MAKE OFFER on this very rare US MAIL 1963 Studebaker Zip Van that has spent it’s life in southern New Mexico and is sun baked with the cool ratrod patina everyone is looking for. It has been sitting for years and does have a lot of surface rust and little rust through on the body(look at closeup pictures of the rust area’s).

1951 M-38 Mardela, MD $13,100

• CATEGORIES: M-38 • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Mark posted this converted M-38 at war jeeps.com.

” M38 1951 Military Jeep/Converted to look like a Willys WW2 Jeep

WORKS GREAT NO PROBLEMS !!!!
This is the perfect Jeep for the WW2 reenactor or someone who wants a dependable vehicle for parades or for 4×4 mudding.

I was told this is a rare Jeep as not many were made. Compared to the Willys WW2 Jeep.

This vehicle is a Willys 1951 M38 Military Jeep with a repro grill, hood, and windshield and new canvas to make it look like a Willys WW2 jeep has black out lights on dash, rarely used since reconditioned.

Gas tank has been relined so no rust, battery has been converted so its modern 12 volt not vintage, fuel pump runs great carburator has been rebuilt, new metal gas line, new distrubutor, new radiator, new tires no wear cylinoid starter was put on it so it starts right up.

Canvas alone is worth $1000.00 you get the top and windshield cover from Beechwood canvas .
The M38 was faster more robust than the willys and can 4×4 better. The transmission is better too.
It was rebuilt painted and has turn signals added so you can drive around safely. No rust inside and out.

Other mechanical things were done to it to make it run flawlessly.
It was redone electronically so it functions like a modern car you really can’t tell the differnce when you look at the engine unless your a jeep fanatic.
The points were taken out and replaced by a computer chip for faster start up and less tune ups.”
