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.

No new holes drilled. The body work and paint job by a local professional shop using a formula for Harvest Tan to match OEM. The guages are all new except the speedometer. It was working but has been acting up lately. The Jeep includes a rare back seat that is in wonderful condition and powder coated matte black. Also included is another rare item, a factory PTO. Fully functional and includes the PTO shield that is very tough to find. Also includes an authentic bow-set stored in the original bow pockets. I don’t have a soft-top for the Jeep but they are available and this bow-set will be what you need. The Jeep runs great, shifts into all three gears in 2WD and 4WD (high and low) without any difficulty.

Other items I forgot to include in description:
New fuel tank and level sending unit
New leaf springs
New u-joints on both drive shafts
New brakes shoes
New brake drums
New NDT tires with very few miles on them
New clutch and pressure plate. (Flywheel was turned at install.)
New shock absorbers
New lockout hubs. I think I still have the original full-time 4wd hubs in my parts stock.
I will include several boxes of parts that I either removed or never installed.

While this Jeep isn’t pristine, it is as nice as any you’ll find anywhere and includes some very hard to find items that have the asking price in the fair range. I will be very particular about the individual I sell this prize to. I won’t sell it to be taken apart and made into a rock-crawler. There are plenty of rust buckets out there for that purpose if you choose but this one won’t be, I spent a lot of time getting this gem back to the condition it deserves.”
