Comment Notifications Update

August 15, 2015 • CATEGORIES: News This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

I just noticed that I haven’t been receiving emails for all the comments readers have made about posts over the last few weeks. So, if you’ve wondered why I haven’t responded to some question, it’s because I never received a notification email. Here’s what happened:

At the end of July and in early August a hacker attempted to gain access to eWillys through brute force by repeatedly guessing at my password. Somehow the hacker recognized that deilers was my admin username and tried to obtain the password. The attacks came from servers all over the world.

The security measures I have in place slowed the hacker considerably. Still, I thought it prudent to change my identity from deilers to LostBiscuit. I then changed deilers ‘role’ from an administrator to an author, hence the change in the comments ID (in case anyone noticed). I figured that even if they cracked the deilers ID, there wasn’t much they could at the authorial level.

A couple days after I made the change I noticed the number of comments on posts seemed to slow, though I still received some comments. I just figured people were out enjoying the summer weather.

This week the attack finally subsided. So, that’s some good news. But, today I happened to notice comments on several posts for which I never received notification emails. The strange thing is I have been receiving some email comments, so I’m not sure why I haven’t received them all, but I suspect it has to do with the changing admin ID. I’ve just made an admin change that I hope resolves this.

So, if you’ve been waiting for me to respond to a comment, feel free to shoot me an email (d@ewillys.com) directly on it. Sorry for any problem.

Dutch dealer Sieberg. Note the lack of a fuel inlet and the fact that there is a JEEP stamped on the hood, but the VEC 2A early windshield.

1961 Photo of Blue Surrey and Colin??

Colin swears this isn’t him, but that surrey looks suspiciously similar to his. In his defense, I will say I’ve never seen him wear that red outfit to any FC Roundups, though it would match his Jeepster’s color. (see his Jeepster and Surrey here)

1948 CJ-2A Kilgore, TX SOLD

August 15, 2015 • CATEGORIES: CJ-2A • TAGS: Nice, Stock. This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000

“For sale by owner is a 1948 Willys CJ-2A in Harvest Tan with Sunset Red wheels. Meticulously restored three years ago back to as close to factory specs as possible. My fun with this beauty is over and it has been sitting covered in my warehouse for several years. Except for the occasional car show or parade I don’t get it out much. The original L-head 134 cubic inch engine has plenty of power. Original 3-speed Warner T-90 transmission was rebuilt and rock-solid Dana 18 transfer case is flawless. No internal engine work was performed as each cylinder had compression between 105-109 psi. Carter carburetor overhauled by a professional using an authentic kit and parts.

The engine has been swapped over to 12VDC but still uses a generator. Factory oil-bath air cleaner, engine oil filter/canister. Includes the optional factory Jeep grill/radiator brush guard. The driver’s side vacuum driven windshield wiper motor works as it should. New wiper arms, frames and blades. All lighting is as it was from the factory including the hard-to-find glass front marker lights. The radiator was removed, cleaned, tested and reinstalled. A complete new wiring harness was purchased from Walck’s 4WD and installed. The harness wiring is loomed to factory colors. The only non-factory item installed in engine bay is a Harbor Freight oooga horn I wanted. However, it is mounted using the original horn mounting bracket in the original horn mounting holes in the fender.

It runs.

“2nd owner. Odometer is 7,256 miles (yes, still works. Read on).
Purchased late 70’s, used at summer lake cabin on weekends. From cabin to lake shore and back to cabin (1 city block away). Down the hill, reverse, up the hill (hence low mileage on odometer).
Original Willys Super Hurricane inline 6 cylinder, 3 speed stick, Hi/Lo 4X4.
Engine starts easy, runs pretty good. Smokey, needs ring job.
Also needs: cosmetics (paint, some rust), brakes (none), passenger floor board and door, gas tank, original upholstery (except driver’s seat).
Still a solid rig. Great fixer upper (hate to see it go for parts).”

1946 CJ-2A Baldwin, KS $4000

August 15, 2015 • CATEGORIES: CJ-2A This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Looks like the driver’s side has been patched.

“The Jeep is in very good shape. It is in original condition with a few additions. It has Dualmatic Locking Hubs, a 12v system, leather seats, and a stereo that I haven’t been able to get it to work. Since the photos were taken, I’ve switched the tires and wheels from the wide rims to normal rims and tires, I’ve added seat belts, front and back, and I’ve added a back seat. I just had the entire brake system rebuilt. It runs good, starts great, and like all old jeeps, it jumps out of second gear if you let of the gas. It does leave a spot of oil in the driveway, but other than that it is in great shape. The $4,000 price is firm.”

1948 CJ-2A Pottstown, PA $2250

August 15, 2015 • CATEGORIES: CJ-2A This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE:Price dropped to $2250.

“For sale is a very complete and very restoreable 48 cj2a. I bought this as a project to hopefully do with some local youngsters as their first project, but it seems that interests have changed and they are not interested in it any more . . . This jeep is a fantastic restoration candidate because of how complete it is. Original engine and running gear, and many of the parts that are usually gone are still here. Engine does not run. PO removed the head and reported a stuck valve . . . so I would count on doing some engine work . . . it does turn over freely, so I would guess just minor work needed. Transmission and transfer case shift fine. It was “barn kept” for many many years and, although there is rust thru in the usual spots, it is much, much better then most I have seen and at a much better starting point then the one I restored . . . . if you are looking for an early jeep project, then this is definitely one to look at . . . . I am not interested in low ballers or scams, I know that I can easily net my asking price by parting it out, and am perfectly willing and able to do that . . . but if someone whats to take it all at once to fix it up, then that’s my preference!!”
