Stan spotted this CJ-2A with a Monroe Lift and some attachments. It runs, but needs some work.

“I am listing this 1947 Willys Overland Jeep CJ2A for a friend of mine. This Jeep has been in the same family for approximately 71 years and has never been licensed for the road. It was used exclusively for field maintenance and general farming related duties. Has the very rare and desirable 3-point hitch with rear PTO, along with an aluminum winter cab.
Also comes with extras, some of which include:
: A 6′ Detroit Harvester Cutter Bar ( Model MDL-MM-6, ser. # 241)
: Extension arms for the hydraulic lift
: 8″ Belt pulley
: Extra engine governors
: Chains
: Two extra rims
: Additional windshield
: Universal & Farm Jeep Mechanics Manual
Needs restoration, but in running condition with only superficial light rust on some exterior body panels, where paint has degraded over the years, and at the corner step at the left door. In fact, if you look closely underneath, where it really matters – at the frame, the suspension, the floors, etc. – there is virtually no rust, thanks to a salt-free life on the farm and the occasional metal-preserving hydraulic leak that this Jeep experienced over the years.
Asking $9,200 or R/O”
There has been a lot of discussion about this Jeep on a couple of the forums. There is general agreement that it should made driveable, but generally left as is. I agree. There is a real story here, including the stenciling of a company name on the driver side.
I tried to contact the seller to see if I could get more of the story, but so far, no response. I’m hoping a eWillys reader will buy this and let us follow along in the story.
Bonjour, je serai intéressé mais un site d export pour l Europe me prévient d une arnaque a l argent???
Hi Missaire,
On dirait que cette jeep est toujours disponible. Vous devrez contacter le vendeur via Craigslist: https://syracuse.craigslist.org/cto/d/baldwinsville-1947-willys-overland-jeep/7322342246.html
Oui, il existe de nombreuses escroqueries, alors soyez prudent. Cependant, en ce qui concerne cette publicité, je n’ai entendu aucun commentaire négatif de la part des lecteurs.
Meilleurs vœux,
