UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5551.

(05/31/2012) This looks solid.

“This Jeep has been in my family since the early 1960’s and was used for hunting. It was purchased from Archer Brothers in Hayward CA. It will go anywhere you point it. Comes with a Warn 8000 lbs. winch. For the hunter, this Jeep is perfect. Unlike a side by side, this is street legal and will take four people just about anywhere your gutsy driving will take you. The motor runs great but needs to be painted. The body is ok but has many small dents from previous hunting trips. For the restorer, it could use bodywork, fresh paint on the motor, and new upholstery on the seats.
The Jeep was torn down to the frame and sand blasted, primered, and painted with PPG epoxy gloss black paint.

Here’s the list.
Stock L134 Motor
Rebuilt Stock transmission
Rebuilt Stock Transfer Case
New High Torque Starter
New Water Pump and Hoses
New Distributor
New Wires and Plugs
New Fan Belt
New KYB shocks
New Rear Leaf Springs
Front Leaf Springs are 7 years old.
New front black out lights
New Tires
11″ Brakes
New Clutch
New Intermediate Shaft in the Transfer Case
Tilt Column
GM steering box
Heavy duty steering
Warn 8000 lbs. winch
New speedometer gauge and cable
The front Dana 25 axle was rebuilt 15 years ago. Maybe 300 miles are on it.
Rear Dana 44 was rebuilt 8 years ago and has Detroit locker with Dutchman 30 spline axles.
Comes with the rear rack and two Jerry Cans (High Lift Jack Not Included)”

This picture comes from Elizabeth, Colorado.  Conrad is checking out the beautiful scenery and, perhaps, contemplating the sale of his jeep, because “Lizzy” was sold a few days ago to her new owner Mark.   This CJ-2A is very stock and even has its original black paint (quite rare).

Mark plans to take good care of it and preserve it as is. So, despite being sad it had to go, Conrad is happy it is going to Mark and Mark is thrilled to get it.   Even better, Mark and Conrad have become friends.

This isn’t a book so much about a jeep as it is about the burning of a jeep.  The story centers around a court case, in which a man and his father are being tried for burning an army jeep.

I have yet to read it, but it’s on my list.

The body, windshield (square washers) and grille appear to be from an early ’46.

“Great running CJ2A Jeep with lockout hubs and starts great with strong engine…. body not so good but good enough for a cottage beater or workhorse around the farm… has a Wisconsin title and original rims with digger type tires…. brakes do not work, lights probably not also, but more uses than a 4 wheeler ATV!!…. Had planned on putting a different tub on the jeep and fixing it up but I have to many jeeps already and its to good to part out…. parts alone are well worth the 850.00 so the price is firm… will consider taking a different jeep in on partial trade, or jeep parts as I do have racks of parts that I use for projects…call 920-856-65three nine…. scammers wanting to send check with shipper need not respond…. ”

I’m wondering if those mini-terras are  newer retreads.  They appear in good shape.

“1948 Willys CJ2A Jeep. Mostly orgional and unmolested. very good base for a full restore project. or have a nice toy/farm/woods jeep with just a little effort. I was planing on restoing it but have not had the time to get started on it. Don’t want to see it sit, when somebody else could be using it. It has the orgional Go Devil flat head engine, 3 speed transmission, with high low 4×4 The previous owner changed the seats, converted it to 12volt, with an altanator, and added an electrit fuel pump. the plugs wires and fuel filters are fairly newer. it also has manual locking warn hubs The jeep is a project, and has not been drove in over a year, so it will need to be trailered. The orgioanl plates under the hood and in the cab are there and readable. I have a title for it These old jeeps are very hard to find, and even harder to find this complete, and has not spent it’s life as a mud bogger. price is $3200”

1943 MB New Jersey **SOLD**

UPDATE: Was on eBay. **SOLD**

This appears unrestored, though the front frame horns have been extensively patched.

“This is an original unrestored, 1943 MB Willys Jeep. “The Wolfhounds” MB 204065 is as complete and almost rust free as you will ever find. This jeep has always been garaged and has a clear Title.
The Willys Jeep were manufactured from 1941 to 1945. These small four-wheel drive utility vehicles are considered the iconic World War II Jeeps

Let me share with you her “History” throughout the message I received when I bought it from the previous owner’s daughter:

“Wolfhounds are painted on the jeep. The jeep may have been in the wolfhound division of the war. The serial number of the jeep might give more insight as to where it was in the war theatre.

The jeep was originally purchased by my dad in California 1962. I learned to drive in the desert in this jeep in Carson City NV and will always cherish that memory. To change to 4 wheel drive you have to get out, change the lugs and I did it by myself. There are many memories of travels in the jeep – we went to Ft. Wingate New Mexico, Kit Carson cave, and the Painted Desert one summer. It was hot since no air conditioning but we did not care. What a great time especially for a young person.

The jeep has been in Oregon, Idaho, Washington and towed to Alaska on the Alaskan Highway (ALCAN) where my dad worked on the XXXXXX in the 1970’s. The jeep then came back to Nevada and then moved to Texas in 1996 where it has been ever since. The jeep has been in our family all these years and it has been well cared for.

It is hard to part with such a great piece of history but we will always have the memories”

As of today this jeep has been called and known under the name <>

This jeep comes complete with all five combat rims, tools and original canvas (not in the picture). This jeep has been transformed in 12V electrical system but I have all the original parts to put her back in 6V (see pictures)
The engine is very strong post war engine but in order for you to have a great match I am selling with the jeep a complete MB Engine to rebuilt MB 229569″

All original with diesel?  I did a little research and there is a rumor that a few M-38A1s destined for export had diesels in 1952 (http://www.willysmjeeps.com/v2/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=4725).  If that really did happen, then I suppose it is possible that a M-38 could have had one installed as well.  However, I have seen no other evidence to support this.
