“1960 Willy’s Jeep Wagon Overland
6 cyl “Super Hurricane” engine
3 speed manual transmission
4X4
I am listing this for a neighbor who has owned it the past 5 years. The Jeep was repainted in 1997 and it appears that there were panels cut out and replaced back then. It was obviously professionally done and the paint still shines nice today. It is starting to show its age. There is minor rust starting to show on the insides of doors.
It has had a lot of new parts put on it over the last 5 years he has had it. Recently, a new clutch, carb rebuild, and new exhaust from the manifold back. The 6 volt system is still intact.
The Jeep comes with the original owner’s manual, spare tire and jack.
It starts right up and runs like it should. It does have an oil leak or two but the engine is completely as it was in 1960. All the glass is excellent. The original radio even worked until last year. The Jeep was originally purchased new in Missouri and this makes him the 3rd owner of it. The rig is very roadworthy (he takes it to car shows 50 miles away), however he recommends trailering it long distances.
I will handle all offers, emails, phone calls, etc. and will do my best to answer any questions. He works away from home and I can be around anytime to show the Willy’s. ”
1958 CJ-5 Kennebunk, ME $8500
Looks nice.
“1958 Willy’s Jeep with only 46,000 thousand org. miles. It has been in the same family for 50 years and has been well taking care of. It has been in dry storage for eight years.
The engine was completely over hauled in 1994 and runs just like it did when she was new. ”
1962 CJ-3B Royalton, MN **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.
(10/20/2014) I can’t imagine this good looking 3B will last for sale long.

1950 CJ-3A Caledonia, MI **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This has an unusual top. It has the suicide door style.
” Picked this up off a ranch in Montana. hadnt run in years, replaced the gas tank, fuel line,changed the oil, rebuilt the generator,and carb, bled the brakes It started {smokes a little} runs, drives, and stops. 4 wheel drive works, all gear oils were up but could be changed. The cloth covered wiring isnt so good any more but things like lights and gauges seem to work.but it should be rewired.
There is some rust in the body support brackets and cabin floor but its not extensive. The tub is in good shape over all, the drivers seat is not original. It has the 16 inch tires.
It came with the Aluminum “Arctic” brand top you see on it. The doors all open, and the top itself is pretty solid if you wanted to keep it.”

1948 CJ-2A Versailles, MO **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800.
It has a rear PTO, but I don’t think it is hooded to anything.
“Selling this Willys CJ2A Jeep for parts or restoration. It is missing parts but may be a good start on a WWll Jeep project. Look at the photos and ask any questions. There is no title and rarely is on old jeeps. It will come as is just like in the photos. There is a vintage winch on the back of it that is worth quite a bit by itself. I just don’t have time for it. It’s not running but rolls freely. I know very little else about it. ”
Year? CJ-2A Birch Run, MI $825
It’s rough. Has a good rear PTO.
“Jeep is complete minus a windshield frame. Engine is froze up from from spark plugs being out, rest of drivetrain seems solid and it was parked working. Has pto and drive shaft running to rear mounted pto winch. Winch and cable seem to be in good shape for age. Has two flat tires but if you bring two 16″ tires and tubes I can put them on. Tub is ruff but hood is great and passenger fender appears good. Lots of good parts or put a engine in it. Don’t want to sell but have to.
Winch and pto set up can be bought separate for $500 or
Asking $825 for everything as is, and I can help load.”

1946 CJ-2A Clovis, CA $650
UPDATE: Price dropped to $650.
(08/14/2014) I’m not entirely sure what body this is. It’s got a CJ interior, but doesn’t have a rear filler nor the right dashboard for a DJ. Maybe a replacement body?
“Another rare barn find. 1946 Willys Jeep, could be a military jeep because no tailgate. Has frame for top. Yes, it needs a lot of work. No, it doesn’t have an engine. Tires will hold air long enough to get on a trailer. Vehicle has been sitting many years. No title with purchase, just Bill of Sale. Not in DMV records any longer. Are you looking for something to do with your kids or by yourself? Thanks for reading.”

(10/16/2014) Looks solid.
“This is a real army issue willys that was in the korean war which means it has a lot of heavy duty upgrades from the civilian model, it’s pretty much all original except the front bench seat but i have the stock buckets too and the front bumper trailer hitch for towing it as well. Just had a brand new carb and fuel pump put on it and the thing runs great and only has 30,000 miles on it! This thing gets lots of attention and is a blast to drive and will climb up anything!”
1944 MB Charlotte, NC **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1400.
(10/21/2014) It’s rough.
“1944 Willy’s MB Jeep 4×4 with the original 4cyl flat head motor and straight drive transmission. It is a complete jeep and did run and drive when we parked it just hasn’t been started in quite a few years. Military base jeep with the original flat head motor. It is not locked up and the gears shift as they should. Everything worked and was a fun jeep to drive. We have misplaced the title but it will be sold with a Bill of Sale. It use to be a batteries jeep and is a true piece of Americana. It has a roll bar and a really solid body for the year! It would be Great for someone to restore or even use as yard art if you so choose. ”
