The auction on this just completed on this very stock jeep.  This was a one-family jeep that looks very solid and appears fairly rust free, though the floor boards deserve some inspection based on the floorboard pic.   This didn’t last long (less that 24 hours) before someone offered the buy-it-now price of $4500.  I’m a little surprised it went so quickly for that much. It does have the original bill of sale (last pic) which is cool.

“I am selling my 1948 CJ2A.  I am located in Lexington, SC.  This Jeep was bought brand new by my Grandfather in March of 1948.  I have the original bill of sale as well as a clear title.  My grandfather passed away in 1987 and the Jeep sat in a barn until 2007.  The Jeep is now in good running order, but I do not have the dedication or the funds to take it to the next level of restoration.”

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was $1650.

(10/16/09) It runs, but has a clutch problem.

“Complete. Has all components. Great project for the jeep enthusiast. Engine runs like a clock. Smooth and quiet. Seems to have a clutch problem. Call (do not email) Jerry for details.”

This might be a good deal.

“I have a 1946 Willys Jeep. It has been sitting awhile. Has the flathead 4 cyl., nice tires, and ran nice before we parked it. It needs a new battery, and seats. Asking 1200, email for more photos”

This appears to be a great price on a stock jeep that appears to include a plow.

“In very good condition. All original. Is in process of restoration. Please contact me for more info. Thomas”

Priced for a quick sale, though no price mentioned.  This might be a good deal.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000

(11/12/09) This has the column shift.

“1946 Willys Jeep. Original Title. Very Rare 3-Speed Column Shift. Good Condition. Few rust spots but no dents or body damage. Starter will need replacing but other than that it runs great! Alot of fun to drive! Great addition to the hunting lease!”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000

“46 jeep willys runs great for its age,bored 20 over ,new carb sat for some time but was not ran till recently,changed to 12 volt. needs gas tank and tlc,”

It appears pretty stock.  Hard to tell much from the pic.

“ForSale 1948 Jeep Cj2A in very good condition, Runs good, Just need to be finished, Do to health I can not. I have most of the parts to complete. If you want more pictures or have any questions E-Mail or call Joe at 270-929-1464”

http://lexington.craigslist.org/cto/1507448643.html

It runs and drives.  I can’t tell much from the pics.

“All original running gear four wheel drive needs master cylinder for brakes to work other than that runs and drives fine 4 cylinder flat head. Contact Ernest Rollins 304-927-1993.”

Here’s a jeep plus a ’43 body that looks in at least reasonable condition.

“This is a solid 1948 Jeep CJ2A. . Everything is there including a clear title…the frame is solid…does have a cracked windshield. This old Jeep would make a fine restoration project, which was my intentions however; I have too many other projects to give this great old jeep the attention it needs.Under cover for 4 years. Includes extra 1943 military tub which needs restoration. Seats reupholstered.  90% painted, major rust dealt with before painting. Some light surface rust from sitting.”

http://corvallis.craigslist.org/cto/1505500387.html

UPDATE:  A reader reports this has sold.

It doesn’t look to bad compared to some I’ve seen today.

“1947 WILLYS $1000.00 O.B.O. Great shape for restoration. Body & frame very solid. Not much rust. What you see in the pics is mostly just missing paint. Not rust. Motor & Hubs had been rebuilt years ago. Hasnt been ran in a few years But use to run great. Needs gas tank & brake work. Dont think it would take much to get it running.Family lost interest in it & left it to me. ”

UPDATE:  Something strange is going on .. this jeep is listed below for $2000 in Chico.  On eBay it is listed for a single bid of $5500.

This looks a good price on a CJ-2A.  This is listed as a ’43, but I see nothing to indicate that this is anything other than a CJ-2A.

“Turn key ready to go. Overdrive works great. Transfer case smooth and easy. Converted 12 volt system. Immaculate seats and back seats. L4-134 purrs like a kitten.
*Less than 7500 miles on rebuilt original L4-134 (four cylinder) engine  *A rebuilt carburetor  *All steering components are either new or rebuilt  *New speedometer and cable  *A new radiator  *A new master cylinder  *New windshield and rubber  *original four speed transmission and overdrive  *Two speed heater  *New floor pans  *Canvas soft top  *Upholstery and tires in good condition  * AM radio, C.B. ready  *Tow bar and trailer hitch  *Epuipped for hunting with rear mounted deer deck  *Interior lights, lights under hood and back up lights  *Gas, amp and water temperature gauges  *Two locking tool boxes mounted inside the jeep  *Two five gallon powder coated gas cans mounted on the rear with locks  *The jeep comes with more that $500.00 worth of spare miscellaneous parts  *11″ brakes not installed, but still in the box  *PTO  *The jeep is in excellent condition and has been hightly maintained and serviced on a regular basis.  Only addition I put on are knew front hubs.
