UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800

The foundation for this jeep is a 1948 CJ-2A, but there are some CJ-3A parts here as well. Looks like a good price.

“Start 2018 off right by finally getting that vintage Jeep you’ve always wanted. The New Years resolution you can actually keep!

Up for sale is a 1948 Jeep basket case. I had planned on building this project for many years and it’s finally time for me to face the reality – it’s not going to get finished. I purchased this mess way back in 1998 and it’s sat in a warehouse since then. My plan was to do a restoration, so everything I have is original. If you know about 1946 – 1949 CJ’s you will know exactly what you are looking at. I am quite confident I have a 98% complete project here.

I have two tubs. The brown one is a CJ-2a tub which would have come with the ’48 frame. The red tub is a 1949 CJ-3a tub which the only difference is the wheel wells were shortened to allow the seats to be moved back 2” so the driver would have more leg room. I was going to use this tub for some panels to complete the ’48 tub.

There is an extra frame which is from a ’46 and you can see is a bit rough but it may have some useful life in it – you decide. The ’48 frame is all complete with the original Go-Devil L-head engine, transmission and transfer case. The engine has a rebuild plate on the side which shows the overbore, but I cannot read the date. I was told it ran great by the previous owner, but I never found out. Three pairs of fenders, two gas tanks, original seat frames for the ’48, hood, grille, tow hitch, windshield frame, air cleaner, starters, generators, buckets of bolts and small parts, steering columns and steering wheels, gauges, fuel pumps, brake cylinder, wiring and electrical components. Everything Jeep related in the pictures is included.

I have tried to be thorough with the pictures so there should be a minimum of questions needed. NO TITLE – sorry. Please only call if you are ready to buy. I do not have any time for tire kickers. If you are ready to come look, you will show up with a large trailer, a LOT of tie-down straps and $800.00 in your hand ready to load up and move this out of my life. I need to move this fast, so if you’re ready – let’s make a deal.
