UPDATE: Still Available.
(06/18/2022) The pics suggest this is a good restoration. This has a rear PTO gearbox.

“I have a 1948 CJ2A with rear PTO. It’s all restored to original. The restoration was done roughly 15 years ago but looks like it was done less than that. This was all done recently as it sat for so long: New fuel pump, plugs, wires, cap, rotor, condenser, oil lines, fuel pump to carb line, carb was completely rebuilt, new master cylinder, bell and crank for the steering. I’m sure I’m missing a few things. Have new wheel cylinders but haven’t installed them. Comes with tire chains, a bucket of carbs (3-4) a crate of other parts and a hard cab that needs to be finished. Runs and drives. $18,500. Open to trades”
very , very few ewillys users know why these early cj-2a jeeps were painted green and yellow — its very simple — the money-grabbing braintrust over at the willys overland headquarters in toledo , ohio stole the color scheme from the john deere tractor company — all john deere equptment is green with yellow wheels — they figured if they painted the jeeps green and yellow and marketed them to farmers with all kinds of pto and plow equiptment , the average low iq farmer would plunk down his seed money for one — it didnt work — not many farmers ditched their tractor for a jeep — i myself was fooled into buying a green and yellow 1946 cj-2a , column shift thinking i could plow my alfalfa with it — WRONG !! — its been relegated to occasional beer runs into town and late night coyote hunting …
Can you send more pics please.
