Welcome to eWillys.com, a website for vintage jeep enthusiasts. I update this website nearly every day with jeep deals, jeep history, interesting reader projects, jeep related info, and more.
These quick searches can help you find things on eBay. People list in the wrong categories all the time, so don't be surprised to see brochures in the parts area for example.
The links to posts below show jeeps grouped by models, condition, and other ways. Some of these jeeps are for sale and others have been sold. If you are unsure whether a vehicle is still for sale or not, email me at d [at] ewillys.com for more info.
There are plenty of interesting, unusual, historic and surprising stories related to Jeeps and their owners. In addition, some of these features have nothing to do with jeeps. This link will display all featured stories starting from the latest.
Looking for parts and not sure where to go? There are a variety of large and small new and used parts sellers both online and offline.
Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .
**SOLD** Was $6500.
“$6500 obo/possible trade. It includes two power inverters. Three Brand New Batteries and Chargers. Two New Freezers. 25 foot Flag pole that is retractable. Custom battery station. I have also recently paid a local garage $3600 to rewire and add all new electrical to the vehicle with Hi Amp Alternator and New Starter. Needless to say, it has a lot that has been done. It is a 1974 FJ-8C and very fun to drive.”
Hi I am interested in your Ice Cream Truck… However where do you find spare auto parts for an AM General?
Hi James,

Hi James. I have bought many parts from local autoparts stores like Auto Zone and Advanced. For the most part the parts off of a early 70’s CJ5 work on this. If you can’t find what you need then online is a ton of resources. Thanks n’s I can do better on price if you are really interested.
Mickey, are you still out there? Just bought a 1973 and need help with parts.
I have a 1974 amg with a 232 CID (3.8L) engine… Really bullet proof engines and trannys in these things… Well it comes from the same family as jeep and parts will be found for the 1974 Jeep CJ5 and the firing order and specs and parts are all working out to be the same just make sure to specify if its an air conditioning or not that will make a huge difference on some of the parts… I’m turning my FJ-8A into an icecream truck which will be a nice little business for retirement. Here’s some valuable tune up info:
232 & 258 CID firing order. 1-5-3-6-2-4 (cylinder 1 is the cylinder closest to radiator and distributor rotates clockwise and the plug #1 should go on the distributor cap closest to the front radiator)
Spark plug gap: .033 – .037
Points gap: .016 (set gap while its at the highest point) YouTube videos on “cj5 232 set points” keyword search are very helpful)
The tail light bulbs are prone to water damage and rust rot/corrosion into socket where most lighting electrical issues may be found at due to a poor gasket around tail light cover. Brake light may not work due to corroded brake switch sensor.
The vacuum advance mechanism on the distributor housing attached to the distributor should be pointing directly towards the front of the vehicle to get you close to the correct timing adjustment.
Thanks for those pointers!
