1946 CJ-2A Missoula, MT $1200

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

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”

Year? Model? Fresno, CA $4000??

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A, CJ-3A This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Both $4000 and $400 listed. I think $4000 is what the seller is asking, but $400 is probably closer to the real value. Seller will lose more than he thinks …. It also has an aftermarket m-38-like body.

Year? CJ-6 Hesperia, CA **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ-6 This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1350.

Not sure there’s much value here.

“Hi…I recently bought a CJ-6 (green sticker) Jeep that I wanted to build as a trail rig/ rock crawler but unfortunately my plans have changed…wifey says it has to go. The wheel base currently measures 105 inches which you can tell it can easily still be stretched in the front and rear. The frame has been fully boxed in and reinforced. It has 35″ tires on it…with a total of 5 rims.

These Jeeps are super hard to find and are expensive when you do find them…I’m unsure of the year but it has to be a 72-75 because of the body and wheel base…which means it can be converted back to street legal and still be smog exempt. So this was my idea but wifey isn’t cool with me having another project because of $$ so it has to go. This is a great platform because of the wheelbase and year to build a serious off road rig.”

Rainy Days Go Away!

• CATEGORIES: Builds, Features • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.
2017-04-22-ann-garage-floor

Ann is not afraid to get dirty!

Unlike our sunny Friday, today was a rainy day, so any thought of blasting the frame was put on hold. But, we did get nearly all the parts removed from the frame and the engine/transmission ready to pull out. The more we removed, the more we could see that poor Rusty had come from an abusive home.

Case in point: the transmission cross member. Both sides of the frame where the transmission crossmember normally attaches have been beaten, suggesting that the jeep was often bottomed or high centered. That would also explain the need to install a custom cross member:

2017-04-22-frame-crossmember

You can see the wave along the bottom rail. I play on straightening it and then added an extra piece of metal to about a foot long to add additional strength along the bottom of the frame.

This net photo shows the rear passenger spring. The front portion of the bottom leaf is bent down quite a ways. This is slightly problematic in that there aren’t off the shelf springs for DJ-3A convertibles (that I know of anyway).

2017-04-22-springs-bent

I don’t know which year this image was printed, but it highlights the different springs among models.

dj3a-spring-options

Note that the hardtop version had different numbers of springs on the left vs. right sides. From the CJ-2A Page.

To make it more confusing, I have five leafs in the front and four in the back (on both sides). I think I should have only 3 leafs. Perhaps the previous owner broke them and installed heavier ones? Or, the number of leafs was changed after 1956? I don’t know.
