UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1600.
This is a true ‘shed’ find.
“1947 CJ2A JEEP … This old boy has been “shedded” indoors for 32 years.
All Original Parts, Right Off the Farm/Ranch. A Project In Waiting!
I bought it at an auction ( north of Chinook, Montana) because the body was sound and all the parts, except the seats, were there . I thought that I needed it to restore my own 1947, making one whole jeep out of two. That project never got a good start. The body has been welded on in places, the soft top is there, including the doors, but the plastic windows are all clouded. The four tires are old ( with tubes) and there is some damage on the inside rear fender wells that can be straightened out with a porta-pack. Having not run for 32+ years, it is a project/restore job for someone, and it’s prices accordingly! I have other pictures … by request. Thank you.”
do you know of a place in Great Falls Montana that we could purchase Willys jeep parts. we are from Alberta, Canada and places we have found are so far away. Hoping you can help us out.

Hi Pat,
What kind of parts do you seek? There’s a used parts truck/wagon dealer in Montana: https://www.montanaoverland.com (which is closer to Missoula)
Feel free to email me at d @ Deilers.com (remove spaces around the @) and let me know what you seek. Maybe I can give some more suggestions.

Hi Dave he is looking for a body, transmission mount, crank pulley, distributer, alternator, brakes, wheel cylinder, fuel tank, seats, shock etc. We could drive to your place of business if you could quote on these parts.
Thanks
Pat

Hi Pat,
Well, you could drive to my place of business here in Pasco (Washington), but you’ll only find a ton of Willys memorabilia. My jeeps and parts are in Seattle. 🙂 … I’m not a parts seller, more like a help-you-locate-parts kind of guy.
Just my 2 cents, but most of that stuff you are probably better off buying online and having it shipped to you, but the body is your biggest, most expensive challenge. Most of the dealers who advertise on eWillys (right column every page) have the parts you need.
You might also be better to locate a project jeep with a good body. It may come with a variety of the parts you need anyway. However, to find the right project, you may have to drive a longer distance. Just something to consider. Here’s a project in Vancouver that needs to drop in price, but has a lot of spare parts: https://vancouver.craigslist.org/pml/cto/d/mission-east-1945-willys-jeep-project/7064422316.html … Body have been modified a bit (or was some kind of reproduction body).
