UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000
I just did a post about this zoo jeep a few days ago. Now, you can own it!
“FOR SALE is a 1946 Willys CJ-2A jeep with an interesting history. This came from the North Carolina Zoo in Ashboro, N.C. It was a featured exhibit there for a number of years. It was in front of the dinosaur exhibit. The zoo rotated it out of the exhibit and sold it to a zoo employee who I bought it from. The body is 100% Perfect without even a pinhole of rust. I was told that the zoo spent $4000.00 having it restored prior to exhibiting it. It needs some love now to restore it to it’s former glory but it would be a worthwhile project.”
I can see it’s missing the inside windshield, but unless it’s also missing the engine and drivetrain, this is a GREAT deal! Sure, most people would want to repaint it, but it doesn’t seem to need body work. Reupholstering the seats is fairly easy, too.
If you’re lucky, the graphics might be decals that some time spent with an eraser wheel would remove. Definitely looks to be worth the asking price.
