“Willy’s M170 was used during Korean War as a front line ambulance, the military predecessor to the civilian CJ6. The condition is very restorable or could be used as parts. It has a Nevada title and would probably be best to have a new home in Nevada. The stock running gear is all there with the addition of an overdrive. Comes with boxes of parts. I got it off of an estate and the heirs knew none of the particulars of the vehicle. Was stored in a garage. I do not know if it runs. Previous owner was converting to 12 volt. Comes with some parts to convert back to original 24 volt. Price is OBO.”

“1946 Willys CJ-2a This is the FIRST non-military model. CJ-2a Complete frame on restoration on this vehicle. If you follow these Willy’s Jeeps closely, you understand that its very rare you see these early post-war jeeps pop up for sale. But, it’s even rare+ to see them restored to this condition. This 1946 Willy’s Jeep CJ-2a has an amazing color combination and 700 miles on it since its full restoration.

The CJ-2a was the first Willy’s Jeep used for non-war or peace duty (CJ = Civilian Jeep), but there is no denying the military forces influences on this early example. You cannot help but see the same basic style that brought victory in World War II. An icon like this does not need to be flashy, but the fresh coat of a deep green paint really adds a touch that is typically lost on these jeeps.

“I am selling my 1942 Willy’s GPW Jeep. It fought in WWll and made it back in the 60s. I have spent the last few years restoring this Jeep and everything has been replaced or repaired. The Jeep tub is all original metal with f-stamps everywhere. The engine is not original and has been replaced with a rebuild 231 V-6 3.8. New painless wiring harness and new brakes. The 3-speed transmission and transfer case are still original but we added a Warn granny gear in case you want to drive on the highway.

The Jeep has lots of original WWll parts that come with it. The Jeep runs, drives, stops and shifts as it should. The Jeep has the original gas tank under the seat but it is not hooked up. It will also need shocks and some minor wrenching to bolt on a few cosmetic parts that still need to be installed. I have a clean California title in my name and it is on Non Op status with no fees due to DMV. The price is $8500 so please no low ball offers.”

Bought this to use as a neighborhood runner in place of my golf cart but changed my mind so here’s your chance. Was told everything was new or rebuilt about 12 years ago. It has basically sat since then. Previous owner used it sparingly. Runs and drives excellent. Clean and clear title. Not a fire sale, I’m just putting it out here. Believe me I have no reservations about wrapping it up and putting it in storage if it doesn’t sell.”

“1953 M38 Willys Military Jeep with 30 caliber replica machine gun and radios. Overall good condition and a head turner! The paint job is probably an 8. The radios worked the last time I tried them however they are designed for 24v system and the Willys was converted to 12v and need more juice to operate fully. There are a few small rusted areas (floor board, battery compartment) and I can get additional photos if you have serious interest. The windshield does not have wipers. The siren is not currently working. I’m not sure if its a wiring, motor issue or just needs some tlc. It is very loud however when it works. I put a new carburetor on it and have the original. If it sits for a short time I usually have to put a little fuel in the carb to start it. It runs well and has been used in parades, festivals and ice cream runs in town but just don’t use it that much anymore since I moved”

“Selling my 1947 Willys Jeep CJ2A. Don’t know too much about the history of it but I’ve owned it for a couple of years. Flathead 4 cylinder motor. I’ve done some work on it, wasn’t running when I bought it. New water pump, new copper head gasket along with a used head that I had magnafluxed at NAPA machine shop and it checked out fine with no cracks. The head it came with was cracked and caused coolant to get into the oil. It’s a 12 volt electrical system. Just installed a new carburetor because the one it came with didn’t have an accelerator pump and caused it to bog and stumble and not run like it should. Removed the fuel tank and had it cleaned and treated with sealant. Also just installed new ignition points, condenser and internal resister coil. Gauges work including speedometer, volt meter, temp gauge and oil pressure is 40 psi. The transmission shifts, hi and lo range and 4 wheel drive functions like it should. It stops but pulls a little to the right, brake shoes might need adjusted. It’s a smoker so it might need rings but it runs decent like it is. Not interested in trades”

Saturday @ The Willys Jeep Rally

• CATEGORIES: Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

(Ooops … I meant this to appear on Sunday morning)
Tom Payne and Roger Martin both share some pics from Saturday’s Willys Jeep Rally at Heuston Woods in Ohio.

The first two are from Tom. This one is John Ittel’s CJ-3B:
willys-rally-hueston-woods-day2-1

And this CJ-6 has a Willys industrial powered air compressor in the back:

willys-rally-hueston-woods-day2-2

Roger sent these pictures. According to Rick Riley (the owner), this cool vehicle is a “1979” C-o-m-a-n-d-o (one M) manufactured in Spain. He purchased it from an ex-military gentleman who was stationed in Sicily. When his tour of duty was up in 2006, he had the Comando shipped to the Norfolk VA. The vehicle was stored and not in service from then until Rick purchased it in 2019. The engine is a four-cylinder Perkins, four-speed transmission, full floating rear differential, Model 30 closed knuckle front and 488 gears. It is similar to the U.S. version of this body style Commando which ended in 1971, but there are many large and small differences between the two versions.
