Seller would like to see this restored. The grill suggests this is later than a ’46.
“1946 Willys CJ2a – all original with original engine (removed and ready for rebuild). Missing windshield frame, air horn for carb. and crossover tube. Everything else is present, ready to be rebuilt and enjoyed. This thing is awesome and ready to gift your family with the mechanical simplicity of the 1940’s (amazing learning tool for a teenager).
This jeep has spent all of its life in the Big Hole valley on a cattle ranch. We purchased it from the grandsons of the original owner with the idea that we would rebuild it and get it going…however, our circumstances have changed and we would LOVE to gift (seriously reduced price) to a family that is looking for a project to work on together. The brothers could not find the title, so it comes with a bill of sale. The jeep has sat out uncovered for the past 20 something years…it is in need of some serious TLC. The floorboards are rusted away and the under structure of the body needs rebuilt. The sides of the vehicle are in great shape with only a few small holes. The axles are intact and everything turns. The tranny and transfer case turn from the gear side but the main tranny stick shift is stuck in place. Both transfer case controls move and work fine. The motor was removed and stored inside just over 20 years ago pending a rebuild that never happened.
If we don’t sell it within a week, we will part it out. HOWEVER, this is an all original Willys intact and it should be mechanically restored and ENJOYED:) $1200/obo”
