UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
(12/16/2012) Looks like a nice rig. Lots of detail pics. However, a variety of minor updates keep it from looking “like it was in 1948 from the factory”.
“This is a rare, 1948 Jeep CJ2A Willys that will take you to the car shows to win trophies or will take you across the desert. ONLY 570 MILES SINCE FULL RESTORATION. Jeep is new.
This jeep went through a full documented, nut and bolt, frame off restoration in 2008 including:
-Rebuilt and restored “GO-DEVIL” L Head motor.
-Rebuild of the original manual transmission.
-Body was taken down to bare metal, minor rust repaired with metal, sandblasted, primed then painted. Repainted by shop (not a home job).
-Frame was dipped, coated with POR15 and painted.
-New bolts and hardware throughout.
-Brand new high end soft top.
-New brakes all around.
-New weatherstripping and rubber.
-4×4 System gone through and restored.
-Restored (Media Blasted and painted) original Rims.
-Restored Interior and painted throughout. New custom seat belts.
-Powder coated bumpers and step.
-Custom Bumper with Trailer Hitch (Never used)
In Full Disclosure:
-There is a spot on the fender where there is some lacquer / clear cracking in the paint (See pictures). No dings, dents or other imperfections.
Pictures, journal entries, receipts, Appraisal, etc all included with sale. This jeep is laser straight and looks like it was in 1948 from the factory (Except color, fancy soft top and seat belts). Everything works. Hop in and drive.”
I’d be a little skeptical. What’s going on underneath the floor boards? It looks all pitted and there is bubbling all around the hat channels. The interior of the floors don’t look too healthy either. The seller points out the fender flaw but makes me wonder if its flaking because of a bad plastic job and could be telling of what else might be hidden.
@ 15k, I think the appraiser needs to take a another look. And who uses a typewriter anymore?
