This looks in pretty good shape for the price.

The fix for the engine can’t be that complex.
“Red, low mileage, original drive train, engine, PTO, towbar, near new top, good body, 12 volt conversion. “As is” This jeep ran purrfectly until one day I had the hood up while it was running and was bragging to my neighbor how smooth it ran. I then closed the hood, it stopped running and I couldn’t get it started after that. I’m not a mechanic and haven’t a clue what it might be. I think this car would be have a NADA value of approximately $10,000.00 if it were running today. Please look at the pictures below and call me with any questions.”

(04/29/2010) Here’s a beautiful CJ-2A. The seller would prefer to sell it locally.
“Mostly restored but some work still needed on steering (I have parts) and the brakes need some attention. I bought this a couple of years ago with the intent of completing restoration. I immediately developed some serious health issues, which is the reason for the sale. Would like to get somewhere around the $8500 I paid for it. I’m open to reasonable offers. This jeep runs like a new one and is drivable as it is. Included is a half top with doors from Beachwood Canvas. Everything works (yes, even the lights and gauges!) Too much to write about, if interested get in contact via email and I will give you my phone number. Please write “red jeep” in the subject box to hopefully avoid spam/scam. Local sale only.”
It appears in decent condition and looks complete. It might not be bad price.
“This is a one-of-a kind, hard to find jeep. It’s in good condition, does need some motor work. Call Larry at 270-268-3208 will take OBO”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2250
(03/29/2010) Is this a rare Maverick? I’m not a Maverick expert …
“1960 Willys Wagon ready to restore. New brakes, wheel bearings, great body, overdrive, Maverick Series. Engine runs but smokes. 402-571-7226”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000. this might have a rare M-38 split windshield.
Here’s what looks like a M-38 (it’s even printed on the front bumper), which means the seller’s year of 1944 is off for some reason. Though, it appears to be missing the passenger side tool indents. This will require a closer look.
“For sale is a partially restored 1944 Willys Jeep. Engine and running gear runs well. $4000.00 OBO. Please respond via email.”
UPDATE: Was $9500 **SOLD**
This is an interesting jeep. I am not familiar with the J-52, though I haven’t researched the early history of Mitsubishi. The seller of this has been doing research of his own on this jeep for several years, as a post on the Willys M Jeeps forums as early as 2006 notes his search efforts. The photos of this jeep are worth reviewing as it is a combination of some unusual features. A quick search did reveal the J-53/54. Finally, I found this table that shows the J-52 had the KE47 engine.
“Before I can get into the specifics of this little jeep, I feel I need to explain a little about it because there is very little information about the Mitsubishi J52 on the internet, and there are no photographs I can find depicting the body style like the one you see here. I found this one at a little jeep lot on Okinawa around 2006. The dealer said it had come with a shipment of used jeeps from Tokyo. I bought it and restored it there on the island, and the Government shipped it to the US as part of my household goods when my family and I returned from overseas. I have had it since then and it has enjoyed local acclaim, appearing in several parades and winning “Best All Around” at a local car show. All guys — and all little kids — absolutely love it!
It is my OPINION that this was one of the original Mitsubishi/Willys collaboration after WWII. It’s a very early model J52, serial number “J52-00261”, and from this I believe the production number to be #261, or that this jeep was number 261 off the production line. Because there are radio mount holes and radio table holes in the right rear fender, and because of the rifle mount racks present on the windshield frame, I believe this jeep to have been actually used and maintained by the Japanese Self-Defense Forces after the US stopped occupation in the early 1950’s. It is also my opinion that they continued to use this jeep until 1973, when it was sold to the civilian market. I believe this for two reasons: first, the title says it’s a 1973 model; second, I can’t find a photograph of a 1973 Mitsubishi J52 that looks like this one. (I also can’t prove a bit of this!)
This jeep was fully restored in 2006, everything was taken off the vehicle and repaired/restored/repainted; however, we did not take the tub off the frame. I wish we had, because the channels are beginning to rust, and there are a few rust spots beginning to show around the door seams on the tub. There is also some rust on the inner windshield frame where water collected underneath the glass and rusted it from the inside. Other than those, there are a few very small bubbles beginning to appear, which I can point out to a serious bidder. There is no rust on the floor pans or in the bed, the footpads are solid, the frame is undercoated and protected. This is a solid jeep.
The engine is a Mitsubishi KE-47 gasoline powered four-cyliner. It runs like a top and purrs like a kitten. There are no oil leaks, compression is great. Manual choke. Transmission shifts great, three-speed with reverse. Four-wheel drive and high/low transfer cases all work. All lights work, although it has recently developed a dislike of high-beam headlights – sometimes they won’t come on and lows will have to do. Front blackout lights work! Fender-mounted blackout light is not connected. Vacuum-powered wipers.
Canvas top was made on Okinawa by Mr. Shima, who used the old torn-up one as a pattern. Seat pads are cordura and were made by Mr. Scott of Texas.
This jeep has been either carported or garaged since it’s been in the States. Being in the military means moving a lot and sometimes it has had to do its “military share” by spending some time in the elements, but we have taken care of this jeep and it has meant a lot to our family. We are headed back to Okinawa for another three years, and I think it’s time to send it on its way to another owner who will value and care for it. If that’s you, you’re getting a good one and you can count on truthful answers to any questions you might have.”
UPDATE: Still Available
(05/01/2010) This needs a motor and is a bit beat up. It does have a pto winch.
“This is a 1963 CJ6 and is very rare for the year model. Most all went overseas. It is 20 inches
longer than the CJ5 as you can see from the pictures. The girl needs a motor, and will be sold as is. As you can tell from the pictures the body is very good condtion for its age. The jeep comes with a clear Texas Title. $1300 or best offer. Cell 214-755-2904.”
UPDATE: **SOLD* Was $1500.
“1943 WILLEY JEEP 4 WHEEL DRIVE WITH 1965-1968 327 8 CYLINDER FOUR BARREL CHEVY MOTOR 275 horse power $1,500 JEEP IS AN ESTATE ITEM THAT HAS NOT BEEN USED FOR YEARS. WILL CONSIDER SELLING MOTOR ALONE $800 FIRM!!! BUT IF YOU BUY IT I WILL PULL THE MOTOR FOR YOU.”
UPDATE: Chris has provided some valuable insight into this mod. He writes, “There was a retired Ford mechanic in Rancho Cordova, Ca. that was building flatfenders for a while as a hobby. Back in the early 90’s he had built closed to 40. When he picked up a willys that didn’t have a a good windshield,the large windshield is what he put on. He has since passed away.“
As its basic premise, the early jeeps were promoted as a utility vehicle. As such, they were modified in ways limited only to one’s imagination. Some of these modification strategies I have seen; Others I had not seen until I launched eWillys. The modification of the windshield is one of those I hadn’t seen. It is a rare modification, but it has been done a variety of times. I can’t say whether there was an aftermarket product created or if this was simply something that a few folks tried on their own.
After finally gathering enough examples of windshield modifications, and finding the time, I have created a Windshield Modifications section. Enjoy!
