(02/12/2010) This has some unusual features.  It’s an ugly duckling of sorts.  I’m kind of digging that crazy hood — not sure what’s wrong with me — it’s a strange one.  If you can easily get the engine going, this might be an interesting project.  And what’s on the front of the grille?

“willys jeep needs some work. needs paint just had sand blasted runs good”

This has a few changes.

“1946 CJ-2A. Has a GPW grill and head lights. 225 oddfire v-6, t-90 4 speed trans. All rewired with newer style 10 circuit fuse panel. Head lights work, high and low beams, tail lights, blinkers, dash light for the gauges, license plate light, all work. All gauges and speedometer work. new coil, new points, new plugs, new radiator, custom air cleaner designed to fit on the carb. without having to cut out the hood which is common when installing a v-6 in these jeeps. new seat covers. warn hubs, tow bar. This jeep runs great. The only thing I know that is wrong is that the brakes probably need to be bled out. You have to pump the brakes a few times then they work great. Runs great. I got this to use as a hunting jeep. Well, times are tough and some things just have to go. I do not have the title but it is in my name. If you are interested, all I have to do is get the paperwork for a lost title and a transfer of title and put it in your name. I will have DMV paperwork in hand. Ive done it before and its really not difficult at all. Asking $3,500 O.B.O. Can reach me at 530 312 1433. NO TRADES!”

(12/1/09) Note that the jeep has lived its entire life in Wenatchee.  The original ad listed this as completely original.  While it’s got a few extra addons, I suspect it is mostly original.

“1951 Willy’s, excellent condition, original running gear, 12 volt electrical system, run great, $3,750.00 obo 509-860-3104 leave message”
