UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
(01/29/2011) Starting bid is $12k. It looks well maintained, but dusty.
“Up for auction is an original WILLYS 1946 CJ2A BOYER FIRE JEEP.
It is extremely hard to find an original Boyer jeep with that many accessories still on the vehicle. To find out more about Boyer jeeps please go to http://cj3b.info/Fire/fireindex.html.
The jeep is in orginal condition. It appears it has been painted once. The engine runs nice and smooth, all driveline works. Engine has original governor. The mileage on the vehicle shows 2304 miles however the speedometer appears to be broken. Jeep has some rust issues: front floor especially under the tool box (rusted through), on back corner behind reflectors (both corners rusted through), otherwise the outside body, fenders, etc. are in excellent condition especially the windshield frame (have never seen one in that great shape for a 1946 vehicle!).
The jeep comes with all the accessories you see in the pictures. Unfortunately it didn’t come with the pump. It appears that the pump was removed many years ago. The jeep was stored inside for many years, we changed the fueltank and the exhaust system as we didn’t want to take a chance with the old one with old fuel in it. The old fuel tank is emptied and is included in the auction. It appears there were no leaks from the old fueltank. Most likely it will need to be boiled out.
The brakes need to be looked after as the brake pedal goes straight down to the floor however it moves freely.
We have a professional restoration facility for Willys Jeeps and in our opinion this would be a simple restoration because everything is there to do nice job. Fuellines, brakelines, wiring harness all original.
This vehicle comes without any warranties or guaranties. We have over 15 years of experience in shipping vehicles worldwide and will assist buyer with shipping/loading and paperwork.
Shipping, taxes and/or other fees (import, customs, etc.) are not included in the auction and are the buyers responsibility.”
Interesting front bumper. Decorative only or functional in that it can push things aside and completely protects front tires?
We just bought this fire truck and would like to know the history of it. We would really appreciate knowing more about it.

Hi John,
Congrats on the purchase! I hope you have fun with it.
On Sunday morning I will move this to the front page and ask readers if anyone knows the history on this. It’s a long shot, but you never know.
Here is a general history of Boyers here: https://cj3b.info/Fire/BoyerJ188.html,
Thanks,
