UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
On a trip to Bonner’s Ferry, Idaho, Dan discovered this unusual project. Underneath all the modifications is a 1943 GPW. What’s amazing to me is that, all things considered, it doesn’t look all that bad. Someone certainly cobbled together a variety of vehicles, along with a healthy supply of diamond plating to keep this vehicle on the road. No doubt it was better than sporting a soft top in cold weather.
UPDATE: A reader purchased this and reports about the purchase in the comments.
” 1948 Willys Jeep. Runs Great – looks great – Selling because I need to make room in our garage and I’m not using it. The only thing that needs some attention is to track
down what’s draining the battery and passenger side windsheild wiper.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000. It has a Muller Top.
UPDATE: More pics. Some interesting pics of the custom soft top. Price dropped to $10,000. This also comes with the electric overdrive, which demonstrates you can sneak one of these behind a transfercase in a flattie.
(10/06/2009) It looks like there’s been some well done customizations. I’d like to see more pics to see more.

UPDATE: Images added.
“Hi i have a 1946 Jeep Willys here. Has been garaged since 87 and it pretty good condition. All origional with all parts still there. It did run when it was parked but has sat for 23 years so no guarentees on it running but would be a nice project. Lost the keys for the ignition so it will have to be replaced. If you have any other questions feel free to contact me at 720 937 5668, 303 945 0229 or jmet2490@gmail.com Thanks for looking! Email me for pictures”

(11/26/2009) The seller would like to trade this jeep as part of a trade for a Cargo Trailer. This is a no tailgate DJ-3A. This appears to be a great price.
“JEEP: 1956 WILLY’S DJ3-A. Needs the bodywork finished and painted. Body is in good shape. Not wrecked or rusted out. Floorpan is great. Engine is a 4-cyl 1971 Ford, but runs like a top! Short exhaust w/cherry bomb. Roll bar and hardtop included. Aluminum mag wheels. Needs tires. Windshield is cracked, but would be easy to replace. Clear title in my name. Very unusual model. Same body style as Willy’s MB/Ford GPW. Would trade for approx $1200 +/- toward a trailer.”
UPDATE: Was $2500. **Status Unknown**
It’s not totally stock, but it sure looks nice for the price.
“Titled as a 1947 CJ. Ford 4cyl motor and 4 speed manual transmission. Full aluminum Meyers top and doors. Bucket seats in front, rear jumpseat, rollbar, heater. Runs great, crack in windshield glass. Fuel pump is a little weak as it loses prime if not started for a few weeks. Fun vehicle. Take the top off and flip the windshield down in the summer.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
This is an odd build. I wonder just how that top is attached.

This CJ-2A was listed on eBay for $1200 (also listed on craigslist for the same amount). No bids were made. Bidding ended on April 13, 2010. However, it looks like a decent price to me. It is a complete jeep with a PTO winch, a top, and a cj-3a windshield with good glass.
“1947 Willy’s CJ-2A with Hardtop and doors. It has a F-Head motor with a 3 speed manual transmission and a CJ-3A windshield. I bought this for $1500 almost 5 years ago. It started right up and drove until I brought it home which is right around 9,000′. I could not get it started and since it has just been sitting in the driveway. I had the starter rebuilt at the cost of $189.81 with a receipt to show. At the moment the battery is dead and the carb. needs rebuilt or replaced. My plan was to upgrade the ignition and put on a new carb. This is a good old flatfender that just needs a little time and money. There is a swing away tire carrier with 2 jerry can holders.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000
It’s got an unusual top.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3800.
This looks in reasonable condition. I do wonder what gun fighter shot a hole in the hood of this poor, defenseless jeep.
“Please make calls between 7AM and 9PM mountain time 406-591-9090. GREAT huntin’ rig or topless summer fun. F-head 4-cylinder , 12 volt factory system , all new bulbs. heater works great , seats are very nice , no rips or split seams. It has character , runs great , no smoke.

I purchased it with the intention of restoring it. Realizing that I just don’t have the time, I’ve decided to sell it. Also the title is free and clear.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000
This looks like a nicely stock plow jeep at a good price.
“Classic 1963 Jeep . Vin number lists everything on it as universal, so its a standard willys jeep. Has hard top and doors. 4 cyl not running currently. Good solid jeep. Very strong.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Gerald pointed out that this appears to be a Right Hand Drive CJ-3b. I agree it looks that way. On closer inspection, as Felix noted, the Willys was backwards. Some of these pics are flipped and some aren’t, though who knows why ..
This jeep has been sitting for 20 years, but it looks more like it has been sinking for 20 years.
“1964 Willy’s Jeep. Has not been operated since 1990. In fair shape. A Great Restoration Project or for Parts. I can email any interested party additional pictures. Comes with the snow plow attached. We cannot provide the title (it has been lost), but do have a New York State Registration document for this vehicle. Additionally, we cannot provide a key to the ignition. This car is sold as is.

“For sale are a 1954 Willys CJ-3B with factory hard top. This is a rolling chassis only. I don’t have the drivetrain. The axles are complete from drum to drum and are in good condition. The front axle has the factory lockouts that are functional. There is an additional 1956 CJ-B tub, fenders, hood and grill that go along with this that is in great shape. this jeep is body parts only. I also have an extra pair of original hard doors that go with this. These jeeps would be great for going back original or making a fun toy.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
Lots of rust in this CJ-3B.
“Nice rare Willys Cj-3b jeep in great restorable shape or for parts. No papers but bill of sale, Serial #15370 . 4 cyl. F head Engine should run, turns over, but not attempted to start. Has original wheels, interior seats, and excellent and rare all aluminum aftermarket hardtop. Body is very nice for this vintage, SURFACE rust only all over, with repair work needed in the pass. floor and side panel. Was originally a municipal vehicle in Irvington NJ as a meter patrol. Hood and windshield have original stencils from the town. Very nice windshield frame and fenders. Has the often missing side steps in good shape. Silly aluminum bolt on bumpers remove to expose original drawbar underneath. Excellent restoration candidate, please email with questions. Sold as is, no warranty express or implied. Buyer to pick up. Peeling paint and surface rust make it look really bad, but the body is really very solid.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $850. I assume the unusual windshield is due to the hard top.
Here’s a jeep with an unusual top. and it appears to be a lefty, though the tire is mounted pretty high.
