“Selling a super clean 1946 Willys CJ2A. Was a hunting rig in Eastern Washington in the 60’s and 70’s then parked in a garage for 30 years. Rescued it from storage last year. Does not run, has an overhead valve motor in it that’s stuck. What’s neat is that it has a super clean body, no major rust at all. Was going to pair this with my other CJ2A but just don’t think I’m going to get to it anytime soon”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(03/11/2023) Runs and drives.

Runs great for a 1948. Rebuilt carb, new distributor and coil, new radiator, electric fan and electronic fuel pump. Mileage is an unknown This Jeep has manual steering and no lift, about as stock as you can find one nowadays. Has numerous spare parts and a towbar. Have too many kids and can’t fit all of us to go play outdoors”

“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.”
UPDATE: Thanks to Roger Martin for taking some pics at this auction. It looks like there were plenty of bidders on the jeeps. Roger reports there were nine jeeps auctioned. 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.
This looks like a solid 2A. It’s #45590.

Blaine spotted these ads for several jeeps and trailers for sale. The ads have similar photos. The flatfender is most likely a 1946 2A.

“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.”
Seems worth a look at this price.

“1948 Willys CJ2A Jeep. $5000 Priced for a quick sale. Runs great and mechanically sound. Has original engine which was rebuilt by prior owner who used it as a hunting vehicle. I have put less than 100 miles on it since I’ve owned it for the past decade. It’s been garage kept under my ownership. Transfer case shifts smoothly. Has winch, bench seat, bikini top, roll bar, CB radio, fire extinguisher, storage box and warn hubs. Rear rack holds spare tire, jerry can and water cooler. Has battery disconnect key switch inside fender well in case you need to roam far from it in the woods. Call Mark for more details.”

“1947 cj2a has a 4.3 chevy with husky overdrive, 538 years with a D 18 transfer case and a sm420 transmission. I have a ton of new parts that need to be installed. Due to my health I cannot finish it, a new small cap electronic distributor new wiring harness, new wipers and motors, has 33 inch tires with 90% tread. Have brand new black bucket seats. Much much more. Like to trade for a older camero, or maybe a side by side, or Harley big twin motorcycle,”
I suspect this may have some underside rust.

“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”
This has no title. Given the radiator and the transmission crossmember mount (just visible in one pic), this is likely a DJ-3A convertible body on a CJ-2A chassis.

“Trade OBO NO TITLE!!! We got it thinking of restoring it due to it having many good parts but decided not to due to not having time. Would like to trade for a motorcycle or best offer for it.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $4000.

“1946 Willy’s jeep cj2a
Starts, runs, drives, stops
Yellow with black racing stripes
Way too much to list. Just give me a call.
NO TITLE. BILL OF SALE.
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..
What I have done over the past 2 years:
I was going to make this into a plow vehicle, but have decided to stick with my atv.

It runs, but unclear how well it drives.
