“We have a running 1947 Willys Jeep CJ-2A. It will start and run, but we recommend that the fuel tank be cleaned first. This vehicle has been sitting for many years. It has an inline 4 cylinder engine, 3 speed manual transmission and PTO.

We are a tow company. The vehicle came into our possession as it was removed from the backyard a property upon request of the new owner. The title did not accompany the vehicle. We have removed the jeep from the yard and it now sits at one of the managers houses.

As of August 12th, the DMV has the vehicle registered non-op and fees to restore are $135. Vehicle will come with a Bill of Sale. This can be a great restoration project for someone to keep or willing to flip it. Either way, it has to be sold soon.

Price is negotiable. Call and let’s make a deal. We accept cash & credit cards [VISA, Mastercard, Discover, AMEX]. We are also”

“1946 CJ2A. Frame off restoration. 4-Cylinder Chevy engine, otherwise original equipment.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.

“FOR SALE. 1947 Willys Overland, CJ-2A, JEEP
Previous owners have made substantial investments in the restoration of this Jeep. The engine has been rebuilt and starts and runs like new. Compression is 125 PSI in each cylinder. Oil pressure in 40 PSI. Vacuum is 20”/Hg. Brakes have new cylinders and lines. Drums and shoes are in VG condition. Exhaust system is like new with surface rust. New parts include fuel pump and tank, oil bath air cleaner, etc.

At some point in time this vehicle found itself too close to a fire, resulting in blistered paint on the right front and side of the body and two melted plastic parking light lenses. The right front tire is blistered and charred and would be unsafe to use. The other 3 tires are truely like new. Glass cracked. The grill, front fenders and windshield frame are in remarkably nice, rust free condition. The tub, though it looks generally decent, and is quite serviceable, shows rust damage that has been “repaired” (covered up) in a substandard manner. The electrical wiring is new from the battery to the ignition system. The lighting wiring has been disconnected at the switch since some original wires are worn and frayed. Upholstery is, well, take a look at the pictures. Rear seat in good.

Examination of the drive train internals shows little ware. See transmission photo.

If you want a project Jeep where the big stuff is done, take a look at this one. Great potential. Your effort will add value to this classic.

This 72 year old vehicle is being sold as-is, where-is. Clear CA title”

UPDATE: Still Available.

“Selling my 1948 Willy’s Jeep CJ-2A in excellent condition for $18,500 OBO. Numbers matching. Clean title in hand.
Completely ready for Moab or to be driven in a parade.
My wife says it’s time to clean out the garage and since the Willy’s mainly sits in the garage untouched, it’s probably time to let it go.
Excellent condition, no rust, everything works perfectly (better than original), starts on the first crank every time, very smooth/quiet running, always kept in a garage, and does not leak a drop of oil. Continue reading →

Appears in good shape.
