1946 CJ-2A Jerseyville, IL $1000

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

Listed as a 1948, it is an early-ish 1946.

“Grandfather’s old Willy’s. Probably needs everything. No idea If or where a title might be. More pics and parts listed under auto parts. Tore down the lean to it was in. We don’t know what year it is and didn’t even know it was in there. It is complete but will need restored. Have two extra front cowls with windshields we will sell seperate. 1963 license are still on it so a Title exist somewhere but a inheritance of one or two generations would make it hard to come up with. Any of you Willys people that know what the proper description of it is please send me a text. For some reason one L in willys is what the computer wants to use.”

Looks like it could be a good price given all the extras.

“I have a 1947 CJ2A Willys toy for sale. $1,500.00 cash, not trades, no you do not have what I want unless it is a steam engine.

Bring your Trailer, I will not hold it. First person with $1,500.00 gets it.
1947 CJ2A. Title in hand.
It has been fun, but it has to go.
Currently installed is a small block 350, not running, it was, you can figure it out.
No battery, bring your own, if you want to turn it over.
I have a better early 283 small block engine that also goes with it.

Orginal T18 transfer case with real Warn overdrive, yes she will easily do over 65.
Turbo 350
Larger than orginal axles, I think they are Dana 60’s, but I do not remember.

Extra stuff that goes with it.
The extra motor, early 283, good little motor. I took out this running, to put in the 350, I should have stayed with the 283 motor.
Extra 47 non cut up frame.
1980’s bellhousing, 4 speed, transfer case from 3/4 pickup.”

Article on Willys’ Early Steering Flaw

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

David Tracy wrote a good piece of the engineering flaw(?) related to the WWII jeeps, specifically the installation of the bell crank on the axle and the problems it caused. He also does a good pointing out that there were alternatives to Willys’ steering system that were used by Bantam and Ford on their prototypes. I’m sure he would have liked an answer as to WHY Willys ended up using the system it did, but he doesn’t draw any conclusions.

You can read his article here: http://truckyeah.jalopnik.com/the-legendary-world-war-ii-jeep-had-a-dangerous-enginee-1797186236
