1947 CJ-2A New Boston, MI $2000
It has no title, but it does have a great service bumper.
“I haven’t had time to work on it so keeping it In my garage is useless. I put a rebuilt carb, new starter and seats in it. It ran before I started digging into it but a little elbow grease will get it going. I bought it 3 years ago this summer but the other owner couldn’t find the title so it still has no title. Call or text 17347320416. Ben is the name”

Has floorboard and hat channel rot under the driver and passenger. Rear floor solid. Has the top’s bow pocket brackets except for one. Lots of extra parts between these two bodies. Will not separate, must take the whole lot. The jeep with the motor will fire up, sounded pretty good, but it has no gas tank and a busted radiator, so we couldn’t keep it running long.

Toolbox under seat has correct Jeep script. Both dashes in good shape. Tailgate on replacement body has Willys stamp. 15 inch wheels.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800.
“Selling my 1946 Jeep Willys CJ2A. Just bought it 4 months ago but now i moved to Seattle for work. All original running gear, stamped engine block, stamped hood, holds fluids, clear title. It has 2 rust spots that are not too bad at drain holes next to wheel wells as well as standard surface rust. Not running at the moment but all i need to do is pull the starter and clean the brushes then she will be running. Original owner had it on farm for hunting and stored in barn, sold to previous owner who’s wife had a child and had no time to fix it anymore (Held on to for 6 months), now i have it and cant keep it :(. I can have this delivered as far as Bellingham. Will sell for $1800 cash. I can arrange with my father if you would like to see the Jeep as it is being stored at their home.
The odd looking fender pieces are actually just steel that are welded to the front bumper and silicone on top of the originals. The original seats are taken out and the gas tank relocated and replaced with a 25 gallon aluminum tank. The last quark is that the tailgate is welded up to accommodate for the gas tank. This is a project car and would be great for anyone. Please contact me if you are interested. ”

(08/25/2011) This hit something hard in the bumper … or something hit it.
“For sale are a restorable 1948 Willys Jeep and a 1947 Willys parts jeep, both of which have their own matching tags and MN titles. Frames on both are solid but the 1948 has some plates welded to the front bumper mounts and there is dent in the front bumper. Engine on the 1948 needs new piston rings but ran very well a couple years ago. The windshields will need to be replaced on both jeeps due to rust. The 1948 has a plow lift bracket on the rear bumper and the tailgate has been cut out so that it could be let down around the bracket (cut stops just below the Willys logo). The 1948 was also converted to a 12 volt system and has working headlights and heater fan (passenger side).”
