UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4400.

(04/16/2013) The mileage is supposed to be 3,901 miles. It doesn’t looks like it’s been used much OR it’s been rebuilt.

“Pretty much original. 3,901 miles! Garaged! Towing bar, spare tire with camo cover. Ammo box tool box. 4 extra studded snow tires and chains. Bench back seat, removable with storage compartment. front window goes up or down with swing out windows. It has a manual throttle control as well as a manual choke of course. 12 volt battery. Very nice bucket seats with rain covers. Roll bar. . Will sell for cash $4,400 OBO or I am willing to trade for a good quality, low miles, ATV/4 wheeler with a winch. Gun tote is a plus.”

Not all original, but lots of original jeep there. I can’t tell if the step is still there or not.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

Marc spotted this jeep. It has a good story.

“I’ve had this great running little jeep for several years.  I’m thinking I may want to pursue a different hobby so it may be time for my Jeep to move to a new home.  I purchased this from a friend of mine (WWII aircraft mechanic) that used it at Centennial Airport to pull vintage airplanes around the hanger.  The reported history is it was originally purchased by the US Navy in Hawaii and used as a shore patrol or similar right after the war.  Although there were many Army jeeps in the area, the Navy purchased a few right after the war directly from local dealers (sounds like a mini-stimulus program).  I verified this info from a WWII Jeep forum on the web called G503.com.  In any event, the story goes it was in military service for a few months but then was surplused and ended up in New Mexico.  There are brass plaques attached that reference 1946 dates of service.  It spent the 50s-70s or so there until it was purchased by a local, well known construction company CEO.  It ended up at Centennial Airport here in Colorado and WWII veteran guys and that is where I found it.  Long story short (well, kind of short), I ended up with it.   I have used it to run into town, pick up kids from school, parades, and even taken it from the bottom to the top of Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park and even on the highest paved road in America.  Although she was breathing heavy at the top, she made it without missing a beat.  The bottom line is this little guy never left me stranded even during high-altitude testing!  It’s been kept inside for at least the last 20 years and hasn’t seen off road use.

“1948 willys jeep cj2a

runs and drives nice
all new brakes

UPDATE:  Must Sell. Price dropped to $6999

(04/29/2012) Not all original, but looks good.

“MANY MORE PHOTOS can seen here on an external website. (Can’t be posted here on Craigslist. Email and I will send you the link)

For sale is a Willys-Overland 1947 CJ2A fully restored frame up, with original L-134 flat head motor. Engine serial #J98994, frame serial #96785. Tub is a repli-tub purchased direct from willys=Overland, but we have the original tub serial #CJ-2a 96785 data plate that goes with the vehicle to the new owner.

Restoration completed 2000-2001 by experienced vintage car restorer, and it has been garaged indoors ever since. Has only been driven for about 400 miles since the restoration. Painted pasture green to match original paint. New canvas on seats. No top bows. Converted to 12v system, with original rebuilt starter still in operation. Have the original 6v parts if someone wants to convert back. Also have 2 spare carbs and misc parts.

This Willys is very solid and sound, there are no problems mechanically or otherwise. Ready to drive, parade, park, hunt, or whatever. Starts right up without any hesitation every time. Selctro hubs. 4 wheel drive works smooth and easy.

This vehicle will go anywhere, climb anything, and do just about anything! Speedometer works, but probably needs a little calibrating. Gas gauge works sometimes, well, most of the time, but there is an alternate gas gauge included in the sale (24″ wooden dip stick, never lies and doesnt need calibrating).

Tires are new NDT 700-15 (non-direction tread) purchased from Coker Tire with about 400 miles of use, plus matching rubber for spare tire (no rim).

All major parts are original, the grill, hood, fenders, and windshield (new glass and seals) are all original and completely restored.

Currently licensed in OR with Oregon Antique Vehicle plates. Frame, and serial number data plate match.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000

This looks solid.

“This is a 1946 Willys CJ2A. This vehicle was done as a frame-off rebuild. Runs well and drives well. This was not a complete restoration. This vehicle was done to be driven for fun, rather than to be a show piece. That being said, here is a brief list of the work that was done:
Frame and body cleaned prepped and painted.
New headlights and tailights
New gauges
New seats
New front floor pans
New brake master cylinder, wheel cylinders, lines, front drums, shoes, and springs.
New front wheel bearings
New air cleaner
New plugs and wires,
Etc..

This jeep is great to just cruise around, or would be a great candidate for a complete restoration.
Asking 6,000 OBO”
