UPDATE: **SOLD* Was $1000

(09/25/2010) See Mike’s comments regarding the titling process in Ohio (thanks Mike!).  There’s been a variety of updates to this, including the lengthening of the fenders and hood.

“i have a 46 2a for sale, the tub, fenders and hood are all in like new condition with no rust what-so ever, entire body had been bed linered black. set up for small block ford, still has auto trans an t case, engine removed, will include either a 2.8 gm v6 or gm 454, either of which would need a different trans or a trans adapter. yes, a big block WILL fit in this jeep, the fenders. hood, and frame have been extended 4.5 inches, the frame has been strengthened and extended, has 1/2 ton truck springs, power steering, no title, in ohio the jeep only needs to be inspected to check if any parts have been stolen and a rebuild title will be given, has original vin tags on tub, hard top not included, also have a 1948 rolling chassis with a rusty frame id sell for much cheaper, needs some tlc, but a good start for a flat fender project. will sell with it for and extra $500, $300 if you buy it with the jeep. would trade for a stock willys cj 2a or 3a, 4×4 truck, hearse, deuce and a half, let me know what you have.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4900

(02/27/2011) Lots of customization to this flattie.

“Flat Fender Willy’s Jeep. 350 Chevy engine, headers, Edelbrock carb and intake, aluminum radiator, Accel electronic ignition, runs very strong. TH350 Chevy automatic transmission mated to what I believe is a Toyota aluminum transfer case with a Downey adapter. I believe the front and rear axles, frame, and steering to be Toyota also. Power brakes, nearly new 36×12.5×15 TSL Super Swamper radials on Mickey Thompson aluminum wheels. The tires still have the nubs on them. It has a Bestop soft top only, Simpson harnesses, Mallory gauges and electric fuel pump. I’m not sure how much lift this thing has, but the frame rails are about 24” above the ground, it has a trailer hitch. It has an older paint job and there is bondo cracking especially where they molded in the flares and hood scoop. This Jeep is titled as a 1998 assembled vehicle. $5900or possible trades for old school Harley, rat rod, hot rod, ’70-72 Chevy 4×4 short bed, ???? Reply to this ad with pics. Trade value must be equal or higher than my cash price, will negotiate for cash. I have a second ’47 Willys rock crawler that I would be willing to sell or add to the deal, email for pics/details. I ended up with both of them and am not a Jeep guy. Thanks for looking.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800.

Hard to tell just how bad the body is.

“1947 Jeep CJ2A, Includes everything in the pictures. Motor not in vehicle, but is original motor. Clear title and current plates. Project vehicle that needs a lot of work. Price: $800 / Best offer?”

This might be a fine price.  It appears solid.

“1946 jeep cj2a 90% orig. electric winch. runs good. rag top. see pics 775-691-3961”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $950.

That might be a MB or DJ body.

“46′ willies flat fender, has a v-6 conversion, original 3 spd. and dual stick transfer case, floors a little rough, body straight, nice solid frame and running gear”

Update:  **SOLD** Was $550  This jeep used to be red.

This has a tempest slat 4 cyl.  It looks like someone did a nice job of installing the updated steering column as well.  Here’s a built example of the same motor.

Here is a link to a Jalopy Journal thread about 4cyls.  The Mercruiser 3.7 and the Ford 2.3s seemed to be a favorite for fun 4cyl installs.

“1947D Willy’s. Needs entire restoration. The value is a PTO transfercase set up. Body 75% Rusted, frame rusty, steering ok. trany, transfercase, 1961 140hp. tempest slant 4 cylender motor with 4 barrel needing restored. interior rusted and bad, tires bad (but hold air), rims rusted. There is $800 of useful or restorible parts”
