“46 Willy’s jeep cj2a. Has a replacement steel body put on at some point,no real rust anywhere. Frame is solid as well,no rust holes anywhere. Has a 4.3 Chevy motor that runs very good,always starts right up. Has an electric fuel pump. Stock trans and transfer case,twin stick. One of the wheel cylinders has a slow leak so needs a little brake fluid once in a while. Seats needs attention,covers and foam,frames are good. The bad part is I don’t have a title or any paperwork at all and can’t get anything. Never been titled in Kentucky is what I was told. Got it from a farmer who’s had it for 30 + years and just used it on his property. Have some extra parts that could possibly go with it.”

The prices varied from $380 to $2000. The green jeep below was won with a $2000 bid (which included an extra running engine!). 3 of the Jeeps had PTOs.

“Hi there, for sale is my 1947 Willy’s Overland CJ2A. This little jeep has been an awesome vehicle, and doesn’t need much. It has the F-Head Hurricane Willy’s engine that was torn apart and completely gone through, along with the transmission and transfer case. Gaskets and seals were replaced and fresh oil throughout the drive train.

This will start on the first crank even after sitting for a couple weeks.

The differentials have fresh fluid and the manual hubs have been gone through.

The transfer case has a high and low range, and a front diff engage. Three speed transmission.

Newer drum brakes and it stops reasonably well

I drive it all over town and have had it on the freeway for short periods. It will go 50-55 fine, but should probably get some new tires if you plan on long freeway trips.

The Jeep is coated in a Linex type coating that is extremely tough. No rust on the Jeep, any old spots where cut out and repaired by the previous owner.”

“1947 jeep CJ3A. I was told it ran when I bought it but I have haven’t spent the time to get it running. It’s rare to have a Jeep this old with the original paint, etc… What attracted me to this Jeep was the original paint and patina. I had lofty aspirations of restoring it, but it has just sat in my shop for years. It was used in the back country for years as a hunting rig by the original owner and I was told it has packed out a lot of elk. I do have a roll bar for it, work manuals, and a few extra parts. This would make a really good project for someone who loves Jeeps. And it would be an absolute blast to drive around town, or take it into the back country. It is an original Darby, Montana Jeep. And was used extensively off road in the back country for elk hunting expeditions by two friends. $5k obo. Ask for Justin”

There is a very easy, legit, and fully legal way to obtain title for this jeep. If you’re interested, I’ll gladly tell you how.

A brief rundown about this jeep:

It sat in a while in a field at the original owner’s property. I don’t know exactly how long. I was told it was in a shed.
It was VERY not running when I got it.
There was very clearly some work work/maintenance done to it however..

I was going to make this into a plow vehicle, but have decided to stick with my atv.
