UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.

This appears to be a reasonable price given the completeness of the jeep.

“I am selling my 1948 CJ2A project. I intended to do a complete frame off restoration but it will be way to long until I can get to the rebuild and I have one too many Jeeps now. The Jeep appears to be completely original with a few exceptions. It has had a V6 swapped in what appears to me as a Buick 225 but I have not verified this. Original T90 tranny, Dana 18 t case, front Dana 27 and rear 44 are intact and serviceable (I spot only the expected leaks to be fixed). An aftermarket roll bar has been installed and what looks to be a 3″ suspension lift. All body pieces have the original Willys marks and the original serial number and instruction plates are present. The body is pretty rough however. It is badly rusted underneath and has some ‘bites’ of rust especially behind front fenders. I had planned to replace the whole tub after blasting a re-coating the frame. The frame has surface rust all the way around but I have not spotted any integrity issues (no corrosion through major stress points for body or spring hangers, etc.). The previous owner told me it was running as of a few months ago (as evidenced by a new fuel pump, distributor and wires) but I have not fixed her up enough to turn her over.  BE AWARE: THE JEEP WILL NOT DRIVE OUT!! Buyer must be prepared with a trailer and way to winch the Jeep onto it.

Price is $1500.00 FIRM. NO trade and serious inquiries only. The Jeep is located 30 mins. away from me in another garage of mine and I must have notification well ahead of time to come take a look. Understandhttp://www.ewillys.com/wp-admin/post-new.php that this is a full rebuild project. ”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500

(12/31/09) I’m guessing this is most likely a CJ-3A.

“It runs and starts. Obviuosly needs to be restored. 4×4 works. Title and original VIN tag that states 1942.”

This looks solid.

“This is a 1947 Willys CJ2A that looks and runs great. It has some minor rust around the windshield but has been a great summer run around car. People always stop and stare with envy.  It has only been run in the summer since it only has a half rag top”

The seller claims this is WWII paint.  You be the judge.  That issue aside, it looks clean and solid.

“Original flathead 4 cyl. enigine, has been rebuilt, Has Hard to find rear PTO and engine mounted governor. Has new exhaust, shocks,new lights and lenses. Has New Army paint and flat clear coat and stencil painted numbers and stars. Seat foam has been replaced and new seat covers installed. Has been converted to 12 volt for charging and better starting but uses original gauges. This Willys starts and runs great, idles smooth and very quiet. Has clear SD title. Tires are ok, but mismatched and brakes pull a little.. 4WD works good and transfer case and transmission shift fine. May be able to deliver for a fee.”

It runs, drives and maybe even plows.  I’m wondering if that is a DJ body given what appears to be a lack of a tailgate.

**SOLD to an ewillys reader**

“1947 Willys CJ2A. It needs work. I bought it about 3 years ago and just do not have the time or the money to restore it. It comes with a windshield but it is not original and it has a crack. It did work 2 and a half years ago but that was the last time I messed with it. It is not a military jeep. I have the title in my possession. $1000 or best offer.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was for Trade

It’s hard to tell much from the pics, however it appears in decent condition.  It’s a project.

“I HAVE A 1947 WILLYS 2X2 HAS GOOD BODY FOR THE YEAR IT HAS A GOOD LOOKING AND RUNNING 81 BUICK V6 IT WILL NEED SOME STARTER WORK TO HEAR IT RUN AND BRAKE WORK TO DRIVE BUT I DONT HAVE THE TIME SO WITH ABOUT $100 AND AN HOUR OF WORK YOU WILL BE DRIVING THIS GEM ANY WHERE JUST LOOK AT HOW MUCH THEY GO FOR AND MAKE ME A GOOD TRADE”

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was $3500

(11/17/09) This one is right up the road  … well, up a couple roads from me.  I’ll drop by and check this out more closely. The description appears to highlight the important elements.

“1947 Willys Jeep CJ Red”

Here’s another CJ-5/Flattie Body Merger.  But, what really is unusual is that bumper.

“Too many projects, this one has to go!  I bought this Willys last summer with intentions of rebuilding it.  What was I thinking?  I have way to many things going right now and feel overwhelmed.  So, here is your chance to get a project that I believe will be worth doing.

The guy I bought it from said it was running when it was parked two summers ago and I believe him because they drove it flat and broke the bead on two tires and that is where they parked it.  The jeep is complete as far as I can tell and body is in fair condition.  It rolls freely, I towed it home over 40 miles with the tow bar that is on it.  The engine also rolls freely, I can turn it by hand.  It has an alternator so it has been converted to 12 volt.  The transmission and transfer case shift just fine.  The clutch pedal is stuck and the break pedal is hard to push, don’t know what the problem is there, sort of feels like it’s in the linkages.”
