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.

“Parts Jeep or major project, no paperwork.”

This lacks the indents, but does have a column shift.

“Selling my CJ2a project I’ve never had time to complete. I’m in Mclouth KS but for whatever reason marketplace won’t let me change the location… It’s a rare factory column shift manual transmission and has original motor that was actually running 20 years ago. Tub has rust but they sell patch panels and tub kits online. Needs a complete restoration Feel free to ask questions, if it’s still listed it’s still for sale. Price 1600.00 or best offer . Very few column shifters around. Sold with bill of sale”

This appears to have a PTO lever, but I don’t see any implements on the front or back.
