This is part of an estate sale, though unclear why the person listing this for sale put the jeep in his/her name.

“This is a REBUILT 1946 Willys CJ2 per the title. I have clear title.
This is part of an estate sale, and not my own personal vehicle. I was told that it needs a starter, but it does run outside of that. I am only repeating what I’ve been told by the family. The mileage has not been verified. The Jeep is a cream/tan in color. There is not hard top or soft top and it has been sitting outside exposed to the elements with no cover. I cannot make any statements to how the Jeep or its components runs or operates.

It is your responsibility that either you or your mechanic inspect the vehicle to verify the specifics you are seeking out of this vehicle.

It is located at the estate property in Washoe Valley, NV and can be seen by appointment only. Please message Brandy with multiple times you are available to meet. Upon confirmation of the land owner’s availability, then I will confirm with you a meeting time/date.”

It hasn’t been run much in a while (was in storage).

“We are selling our 1947 Willys jeep that needs some loving it’s been in storage for many years . It will make a great jeep for the rubicon are just for the fun of taking it out on week ends. Also I think it has T-90 Borg warn overdrive.”

UPDATE: Still Available.

Not sure how much value is here. The seller indicates there is a 3 Point Hitch, but I see no pics of one nor do I see a rear PTO gearbox (maybe seller meant ‘was’ equipped?). It does have something unusual sticking out the back. I can’t make sense of it.

“Very Very Rare.
This 1947 Willys Jeep was used Off Road. It’s equipt with a factory 3 point hitch in the rear and a factory hydraulic ram for a front blade.

The flathead L134 engine is full of water. The spark plugs disappeared
do to water on the cylinder head.

No title, never had a heater, rusty floors. It’s still 6 volt. The hydraulic pump is gone.

A new body is available for $2,400.

Adapters for a 4.3 Chevy are less than $500.

These Jeeps are called Agrijeeps.
This jeep with a new body and rebuilt engine would be worth a great deal.

I will consider offers on the
Ag components. Not cheap! The Willys is very straight and deserves a 2nd chance. Not a ding in it.
It has a bunch of rare parts. The entire front sheet metal is really nice.”

Looks like a nice jeep.

This a totally restored Jeep the original owner invested over $30,000 everything is rebuilt are replaced. You have to see it to believe it. All original drive train with a add on overdrive, that adds 10% to top end. That’s the extra stick you see in the floor with the 4 wheel drive. It has a new body, that wasn’t prepped right and the paint is peeling in some places. I have all the receipts pictures of a the rebuild. New springs tires brake steering box and all steering linkage new steering wheel seats gas tank total drive train rebuilt new wring 12 volt new radiator. New top and doors, electronic ing.
I hate to sell it but I’m getting to old to get in and out of it. I learned to drive on a 1948 on the farm Dad traded the 48 for a 1952 which he kept until 1967. Needless to say this is memory lane for me, when I saw it I had to have it. I hope whoever gets it has the same thrill.
I have recently install the blocks on hood for the wind shield when it is layed down.”

Unclear how much value is here.

“A 1948 cj2a Jeep with a 283 out of a corvette engine”

This has a variety of updates.

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/497436771735518

“The term barn find gets used a lot but this is actually a barn find. I pulled it out of a barn in Wilton. It’s been sitting in there since 1985 when the guy that built it died of a heart attack. He built it in the early 80s to be the fastest jeep at Pismo. I bought it from his widow. It has a Corvette 327 and Muncie four-speed out of a 67 Corvette that his buddy wrecked. Dana 18 transfer case and warn overdrive. I believe the axles are original. The Vin verification has been done and I have a new non opped pink slip in hand. The body is mostly straight with a few small dents and dings. No Bondo that I’m aware of and no rust holes. It does not run but the motor will turn over. It has been sitting for 35+ years so everything will need to be gone through before it can be driven. I love this thing and I don’t really want to sell it but I have too many projects that need my attention”

This may have a CJ-3B f-head.

“Comes with 2 working engines: Straight 6 cylinder 5 speed V6 chevy engine”

Mark posted this at sellajeep.com. Its has a variety of updates. If I understand correctly, the windshield has been rebuilt (which looks well done).

http://www.sellajeep.com/mjs/sale22/ad026/ad026.html

“I have owned this Jeep for forty years. I restored and rebuilt it to its present condition in 2017. It is original except for the 4-cylinder Chevy engine from 1977. It is in excellent condition running and otherwise. I rebuilt the transmission, transfer case, clutch, release bearing, pressure plate, steering system, etc. All four brake cylinders are new as well as the master brake cylinder. All of the brake lines are new, both metal and rubber. The restored body is original. I repaired the floor boards and replaced the bed. All of the support channels under the floor are new. The storage compartment under the passenger seat has a new steel floor. I fabricated a new windshield from 4130 steel aircraft tubing. The windshield frame is aluminum with new glass. It has a clean title. I drive it frequently on the highway. It could use a new radiator. The original one in the Jeep has a small leak near the top. It does not cause a problem even here in Florida except for the puddle it leaves on the garage floor. This a Willys that you can use daily on modern roads and run hard off road and it will still be good in another 75 years. It is original from the flywheel back having a jeep clutch plate and pressure plate so if someone wants to go back to the original type engine it is a simple bolt in place swap.”

When I saw the first photo of this jeep I thought it might be a real nice build. But, some of the other photos tell a different story. My thoughts are among the pics …

1. Looks good at first, but given how good it looks, I was surprised the rims lacked stripes and the windshield was one piece.

The engine sports a later model oil filter bracket, so I wouldn’t be surprised if the engine was from something later.

Check out the transmission cross member. It appears to be angled forward a little, like it hit something when backing. It’s also missing the transmission skid plate.

This side of the crossmember looks better.

The passenger floor has a patch plate and the driver’s side floor a hole.
