UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
It runs, but needs a fuel line.
“I have a 1948 Willy’s Jeep CJ2A. Got it last year as a project and got a good bit done but now need the cash more than the project. I also have two seat frames (not pictured) to go with it. It has the original motor, transmission, and brass radiator. I had the brass radiator repaired and pressure tested last year and it works fine. The motor turns freely when you try to start it but the carb needs to be cleaned before it will fire. It is a 3-speed manual transmisson with a 4×4. Currently sitting on 31” tires. There is no body tub, doors, tailgate, or roof. It was outfitted as a ranch/farm vehicle and ran a little over year ago. I currently don’t have the fuel line hooked up to a tank. This is one of the original Jeeps and will make a great project for some one to finish.
As it is this is has potential in the hands of a individual who knows their way about sheet-metal work.
Color this one Sold. I brought it home today.
Looks like a great project so far
Great, found a home. What are going to do ?
Only had time to give it a quick lookover, but I’m planning on a full resto with a new chassis and body kit.
The mechanicals are pretty complete and everything turns and rolls freely. I’ll tear down all the hard components (axles, brakes, steering, transfer case, etc) rebuild and install them on the new frame.
Neil. Good luck! Looks like a good purchase to me as well.

Thanks Dave. If I hadn’t discovered this site I wouldn’t have known about this Jeep.
