This has an unusual windshield setup.

“CJ-2A with some extras. Not fully stock but the original engine and powertrain. Recently rebuilt transmission and transfer case. Plenty of recent maintenance has been done to include front brakes, carburetor, fuel lines…etc”

This has a few mods, including an f-head.

“1947 Jeep CJ2 with a CJ3B engine (so its not the flat head engine)
Runs excellent. Brand new gas tank installed. New seat upholstery needs installed. Has new bimini top. Comes with an extra transmission and transfer case.
Clutch cable does need some adjustment. I did drive this down the road a few weeks ago, ran, drove, and shifted fine.
4×4 works.
Has tow hitch on front.
Clean title in hand.
$3500 or trade for other classic cars or trucks.”

Given the ignition switch holes aren’t in the dash, this might have a 3A body.

“1948 willys, this is a project vehicle, all original parts are there,engine turns, no title!!!”

It sounds like this may need some TLC.

“The motor has been changed with a 2.4 liter from a Ford Pinto. This has a Warn overdrive. The body is in nice shape. The carb needs some adjustment. It has 2 sets of tires that includes the original rims. Both set need replacing. Has the soft top and doors that are in fair condition.”

UPDATE : **SOLD** Was $6000.

(04/07/2022) Has a few updates.

“You won’t find a cleaner Willys Jeep. Everything is in great shape. A couple dings on the body but no rust. Runs great! New clutch just put in this month. This thing is incredible out on the trail or crawling up hills. After market winch, roll bar, bucket seats and back seat. Custom soft top and bikini top included”

This looks in good shape. It’s missing a few stock details (PTO bar and top bow holders for example).

“I finished restoring this CJ2A about 6 or 7 years ago. The body was stripped down to bare metal and all rust was removed. The paint is in good shape but has a few spots that are noticeable up close. The frame has been covered in POR15.

All new fuel system
All new brake system
New radiator
Rebuilt transmission
New clutch
All new wiring harness
Warn locking hubs
BFG All Terrain KO 30×9.5 R15
New glass
Aftermarket turn signals added
Everything works and it runs and drives great. It does have the usual leaks (small) in the typical areas.”

Bill shared this project. The seller notes this is “the best jeep you will find”. You be the judge. The tub has been modified with a script back. There are additional mods, such as the front springs being reversed. Strangely, this rig was included in this Hemmings write-up.
