Thanks for all the Congratulations

• CATEGORIES: News This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Ann and I thank everyone for the congratulations and well wishes!!  We have been busy cleaning up after the wedding and spending time with my kids, so my eWillys time has been a bit crunched.  I’ve got a few updates below.

Here is a pic from the wedding.  No, there weren’t any jeeps involved in the wedding, however I did receive an embroidered eWillys hat and Ann an embroidered eWillys purse, so those will make an appearance on here soon.

The wedding was fun.  Moments before the ceremony started my parents’ dog Jill realized that there were dogs just across the fence from her, causing her to start a major barking and growling episode.  I had to jump into the surrounding bushes and chase her away.  That even was quickly followed by a young child throwing up.   The parent grabbed the child and rushed to the bathroom.  Part way through the crowd, the child threw up again, causing guests to dodge digested matter.  What fun would a wedding be without kids and dogs . . .

Colin forwarded this wonderful cover from the December 1947 issue of Unity Magazine, a Willys Overland Magazine.

Coling writes, “The cover shows a small girl, actually the daughter of the magazine editor, holding an Al-Toy Jeep truck and just below it, the box it came in.  The Jeep truck was to the best of our knowledge, the Christmas toy for the Willys VIPs and high volume dealers for 1947.”

1946 CJ-2A Walnut, CA eBay

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

This appears to be a solid jeep.

“1946 Willys
23,936 Miles
Runs great, shifts great, 4WD and 4WD Low gears work great.
Current License in California.

This is what I know. Willys built this model Jeep for the Military only from 1942 to 1945. Then in 1946 Willys offered this model to the public. However very few were sold because there was a glutton of Jeeps available through Military auctions.
Was this a Military or Civilian ? I don’t know.

This Jeep has spent almost all of its life on a ranch on San Diego County.
I just purchased a brand new fuel gauge that needs to be hooked up.
The only thing this jeep needs is a passenger side seat frame to match the drivers side.
And maybe a straight front bumper.
The value of these Jeeps are all over the place. This is no show car but it may very well be the best running and most reliable Jeep around. . . .”

The seller thinks that’s a 3B windshield, but clearly it is a low hood windshield.

Has a tow bar that works great if you want to pull it out with your truck or motor home, she tows great. I drive her daily to work in the summer, but top speed is about 45 and I take the back roads.

1946 CJ-2A Charleston, WV **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

The seller provides a detailed description.

“You are bidding on a 1946 Willys CJ2A. I picked this up a while back with plans of using it around the farm. I have since picked up a newer CJ5 that runs and stops so it is time to find this one a new home. Although not shown in the pictures I do have the radiator, fan and gas tank (stored safely indoors). The Willys came to me without a steering column, brake and clutch pedals or the arms that they attach to. I have a steering column (less steering wheel) from another Jeep along with some pedals and arms that I will throw in to the deal. I will also toss in a couple of master cylinders and a few other pieces I have around from other Jeep projects. You will need to come up with seats, a steering wheel and some small miscellaneous pieces.

As for the motor. A previous owner had pulled the motor for some reason and while it was in his garage it fell against the wall damaging the casting of the carb. I have the carb but my guess is that it is only good for parts. You will need to purchase a carb (they are on Ebay every week). The fellow that I purchased it from re-installed the motor with new motor mounts and I think transmission mount as well. The Jeep will also need an air cleaner. The motor turns by hand but I have made no attempt to start it. The transmission shifts through all the gears and the transfercase shifters seem to move as they should. Driveshafts are currently disconnected but do come with the Jeep.

The frame appears sound from what I can see. It is missing the rear crossmember/bumper but they can be purchased new. The front frame horns still have their gussets and the drivers side frame horn still has the metal data plate. The passenger side frame horn is dented a bit and will need some straightening (see picture).

The body is fairly sound for a 1946 Willys however it is not ready for any car show. The two body tags on the firewall are still attached. The front floor panels have been replaced at some time while the back end is original. The hood will need a little work but I think it is very savable as are the fenders. The drivers side might need a new inner support brace since it has some rust on the bottom. Tailgate is there but there and usable but not show quality. The grille is very nice and includes the sought after bullet shaped lights. The windshield frame is there and with enough time and talent it could be restored but there are better ones out there for the effort it would take. It does not come with the inner windshield frame. If you are not doing a 100% restoration I do have a couple of CJ3A frames that the winning bidder can purchase for an additional cost ($125 to $150 each depending on which frame you select).

The wheels are the sought after 16″ wheels. The tires are not worth anything and two have a slow leak. The front axle is equipped with Warn Premium Locking Hubs.”

1949 CJ-2A Philadelphia, PA **SOLD**

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500

“Selling a 1949 CJ-2A Willis military edition jeep. I have the title for it, but the jeep needs full restoration. Previous owner installed a diff engine which is an f head. For this reason the hood was cut and a custom hood scoop was built. However, if you desire to go back the full original, I do have the full original motor. The motor in the car, runs great and turns right over, however the clutch is seized. The frame is good, but the body needs some love. Looks like a lot of parts r from m38 military. Has a military top, gas can holder with gas can, and military cushions.”

The seller claims ‘Just the body for this style of Jeep can often sell for what I am asking’. umm . . . how do people come up with stuff like this?

“I have a few items for sale or trade besides just this Jeep you can view them all at http://Rapid-Sale.com

This is a unique Jeep CJ6 that is very rare and hard to find.

The CJ6 has a 20″ longer wheelbase than the standard Jeep.

There is still some work that needs to be done for this to be an everyday driver.

It has a 231 V6 in it with the oversized tires and wheels ready for off road.

The lights and winch have been removed and used on a different project.

The windshield costs $150 to replace and I am in the process of doing that for you.

I am more than happy to answer any questions you may have.

Just the body for this style of Jeep can often sell for what I am asking.

I welcome Cash and will look at your trade ideas. No Low Ballers.
