Hey, it runs; what more do you want?

“Up for sale here is a 1947 willy’s hard-top jeep. Bought 35 yrs ago and used during hunting season thru the 70’s and into the 80’s in upper Pa where I have family. The jeep has been stored indoors in my garage and well serviced thru the years. Has a 4cyl overhead valve engine, manual trans and manual locking hubs as well. Recent new parts include: radiator and newly rebuilt fuel-pump. Up grades include radio and electric wipers. Jeep runs great, all guages work well and frame is solid and tires good. I mounted a tow bar to the front bumper years ago to pull to the mts, as you may well know they are factory geared for the off road. Any ?’s call717-818-6392.”

It doesn’t run, but appears complete.  Based on the year, I’d say this is a CJ-3A, but the bow holders on the driver’s side suggest CJ-2A.

“It’s a pretty great jeep. I really, REALLY hate having to sell it but, as we all know the economy sucks.  Anyways, about the jeep:  Of course it doesn’t run it’s been sitting for about 2 years, under cover about 1 year 6 months. Mostly electrical work is needed, and I imagine there is a load of work to be done under the hood. Ran and drove 2 years ago.  Stock cover is still in great condition, just needs a thorough wash. Interier is dusty and smelly. Hundreds of extra parts laying around. (Doubles of what’s on the jeep already).  NOT a parts vehicle, or un-finished project. Just needs a good strong elbow or two on her for a while.
Will most likely need all 4 new tires, but they haven’t been filled with air in a long time so they might still work, who knows Lol. All are welcome to take a look if you like, shoot me an offer first and we’ll see where we can go from there.”

Check out the knob sticking out of the emergency brake hole.  What is that?  Also, the carburetor just barely sticks out of the hood.  I suspect the air cleaner attaches above the hood?  The seller notes that with the exception of the engine, everything is original, which isn’t true.

“This jeep is in good condition with a 52 overhead valve engine, everything else is original…Steering has been rebuilt…new battery…This has the 4 wheel drive with low and high…and it works good..  It shows 36967 but I can’t confirm this. This would make a great hunting/fishing jeep or one to just have fun in…thanks for looking..rudy”

“Hey there, I am letting my Project go that I just never got around to starting. It is a 1946 willys jeep, CJ2A. The motor was converted to a small block chevy 265 ci out of a 1955 Car.

It’s a parts jeep.  Note the later model drive train from a CJ-5.  I’m not sure what’s attached to the back of the jeep.

“clean out garage have to may project going on 1947 willys jeep for sale NO TITLE . Has dauntless v6 last run last summer .. All jeep drive train form a cj5 have everthing .”

This runs and is supposed to be 98% rust free.  Might be a good deal.  That’s not the original engine, but at least there’s no hole in the hood!

“I am selling my 1947 WILLYS jeep. The jeep is 98% rust free and original.
