I found this illustration of a Rube Goldberg (yes, of the Rube Goldberg machines) drawn jeep from the September 1946 issue of Mechanix Magazine. I’m not quite sure what the UNO on the grille means.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Steve found this cool photo. It shows Milwaukee Brewer outfielder Johnny Price putting on a pre-game exhibition of catching balls using a jeep. The local dealer, Laurel C. Worman, arranged the event.
“This is an original press photo. Photo measures 10 x 8.25inches. Photo is dated 08-17-1945.”
Marc forwarded this article and photo that highlights the use of helicopters with jeeps.
Daniel Flanagan is located in the UK and is hoping to find a MB or GPW project. If anyone thinks they have a project that would interest him or think they can help out, email me or comment below and I’ll hook you up with him.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Looks solid. It’s got the wrong grille for a ’46, but that’s minor.
“Own a piece of postwar history! This restored CJ2-A is ready to parade the streets of your neighborhood. I have been the curator of this rolling museum for over a decade and due to some recent life changes, it is now time to pass the baton. As with any old Jeep there is always something to tinker with; but this Willys is road ready. Please call or text with questions. Thank you for looking.”
Looks in great shape.
“1950 original M38 Willys Jeep. Restored frame. All parts sand blasted painted or new. The engine runs great with a Solex carburetor and a 6 volt system. A spare tire is included. Please call with questions.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Seller’s description looks thorough.
“Up for auction is a 1948 Willys CJ2A “Universal” Jeep. It starts every time with a simple pull on the choke and a twist of the key, even after sitting for months and moves on down the road like it should. This is a joy to take for a ride and always turns heads and gets honks and waves. The only reason I am letting it go is I need the garage space and I couldn’t abide keeping it outdoors, even for a night.
When I purchased it from the family of the original owner recently, the vehicle had undergone an almost complete restoration including painting of the body, frame and motor, replacement of the wiring harness, new vinyl on the seats and new rubber on the wheels. It retains its original motor and transmission. Additionally an overdrive kit was added. It was repainted in its original Luzon Red with Universal Beige trim.
**SOLD** Was $6498
“Great 4 wheeler! Orange & white with black & grey interior; four reclining bucket seats; new carpet; Four speed with granny gear; winch runs off PTO; custom wheels with off road tires. Huge tail gate for lunch on the trail. 4 High & Low work great. Runs great! Priced to sell!”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $400.
(05/05/2014) Clutch needs replacing.
“Probably restorable but not by me. Just put a new head gasket in…good compressoin now. That was one of the reasons I parked it 2yrs ago, the other reason was the clutch and that still needs to be replaced. Rubber is good enough to tow someplace close.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
Listed as a CJ-3B, this jeep has a CJ-3B VIN plate. I’m not clear what else is part of the original CJ-3B.
“Up for sale is my CJ3B Jeep. 10k in new parts on her. It’s a V6 3 Speed 4×4. New Tires, New Top, has a brand new bikini top to go with it. Runs excellent. Motor was rebuilt a while ago, along with a transmission rebuild and transfer case rebuild. Rhino Liner in the interior and exterior, very clean. Has explosion-proof gas tank, brand new seats, removable rear seat. Center console is weather proof and lockable and has a radio in it. Starts easy, runs great. My loss is your gain. 9800 miles showing on the odometer, not sure if it is true or not.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3300.
Looks like the seller was testing paint schemes on the windshield frame?
“Hunters special! Starts right up, runs great, original jeep 4 cylinder.
Includes new bikini top and tow bar. Heavy duty winch.”
There’s some value here. Neither project runs.
“I am selling two early CJ2A projects with a ton of extra parts. There is enough parts to build both jeeps and have extras left over. I have a rebuilt Buick V6 with the adaptors and motor mounts that cost me almost as much as I am asking for both jeeps. There are titles for both. One has the PTO on the trans. One is an early column shift. There are extra hoods, fenders, tailgates and more. One has the frame for a soft top, and one has an aluminum hard top with doors. As you can see in the pics, these are projects that do not run. Willing to consider trades.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
It’s a project.
“Jeep Willys CJ3a. Brought up from Virginia. Flat fenders are getting hard to find. Great raw material for a restoration. Easy to work on. Come check it out. Contact Tim Mon thru Sat, days”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $650.
“This is a complete L-Head 134 cubic inch flat head 4-cylinder “Go Devil” engine. Fits M-38, MB, and CJ-2A, CJ-3A. Should also fit a GPW. It was a military engine, rebuilt in 1953 by 229th Ordinance Base Depot, TEWOS (Plate attached). Turns over easily. The block is good with no cracks, but the cylinder walls are pitted.
This engine is complete with carburetor, oil filter housing, air cleaner, fan, distributor, manifolds, crossover tube, carburetor linkages, etc. I may be willing to sell separate parts off this engine if no one is interested in the complete package. Also, I would be willing to strip the extra parts off the engine if someone only needs the block. My asking price will be adjusted depending on what parts you need. Please email me (via Craigslist) with questions or requests.
I have many other Willys parts, such as Dualmatic lock-out hubs, CJ-2A soft top plus frame (rare white, like new), CJ-2A or 3A soft doors, 6-volt generators and starters, etc. Send me an email if you need any flatfender Jeep parts.
Historical note: The 229th Ordnance was based in 1952 and 1953 at Tomioka, Japan, between Yokohama and Yokosuka on the main road. This engine is a Korean War veteran, and would be ideal for an authentic M-38 restoration. “
UPDATE: Price now $5200.
(06/19/2014) This jeep has one of the more unusual F-bumps.
“1948 Willys Jeep. Very rear. Looks and runs excellent. Newer engine with low miles. Great fun for the summer. Turns a lot of heads. Hop in and drive it away.“
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3200.
(07/08/2014) “Will run” suggests it doesn’t currently run. Appears very restorable.
“WILL RUN
NEEDS BRAKES
THIS IS A RARE FIND
BEEN SITTING IN A BARN FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS”
I’ve been oscillating between chills and a fever all day. So, no updates to the site AND I haven’t checked Tuesday’s emails. I’m improved tonight, so there’s hope for feeling better tomorrow.
