1948 CJ-2A Farmersville, TX **SOLD**

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.

Clutch is frozen, but otherwise looks solid.

“1948 Willys jeep CJ2A that has sat for about 4 years. I put new plugs, battery, master cylinder for the brakes and clutch, new fuel pump, and cleaned carburator and the the tank. The jeep runs and the motor is still strong. The jeep has good tires, rhino lined, new seat covers, seat belts, warn lockouts, tow bar and gun rack. The only think that is still wrong with jeep is the slave cylinder for the clutch is froze up from sitting. I have grown tired of working on it and putting money in it and decided to sell it. The guy I bought it off used it to take to Colorado and assured me that four wheel drive and transmission was all working good when parked. I went thru the gears and the transfer case goes in and out of four wheel easy. The last time it was on the road was 2008.

Hard to say if there is much value here or not.

“Willys jeep cj2 complete original except it has a front cap off of a willys truck or station wagon. Engine will turn over if you pull it but the starter is bad. Probably doesn’t have much compression. Not for sale for scrap, I don’t want it recycled into a toyota fender. Buy it for parts for the one sitting in your back yard.”

UPDATE:  Now the seller needs to sell ASAP.

(04/11/2012) At first I thought this was a DJ-3A, but the side gas inlet suggests to me this is a CJ-3A.

I know I’m not supposed to be posting today, but Ann and Kasia, my daughter, were running errands when they spotted this CJ-5.   So, they gave chase and flagged him down.  I wonder if the guy thought he’d get jeep-jacked?  On the other hand, maybe it isn’t two often two beautiful women flag him down? Either way, they cornered their prey and shot the picture.   No wonder my beautiful bride is a permanent part of the eWillys Team!  🙂

For those readers, whose French is better than mine, is this 1952 book about a pair of French men, Daniel Barbey and Henri Boucher, who go to New York in 1947, purchase a brand new 1947 CJ-2A ,and take it on an adventure through the US, Central and South America.  The book was publish in 1950.  It would be a good reason to learn French.
