UPDATE: Listed as a ’47, the serial number suggests it was manufactured in ’46.

Could be worth a look. Might have some Allstate or similar hubs. Might have some bondo on the driver’s side.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9500

(11/19/2017) The body has had some repairs.

“Listed for your viewing pleasure today is my very clean 1946 Willys CJ2A Jeep. This little beauty is truly something special. Column shift “3 on the tree” in the original color combo for the period. This Jeep spent the better part of 16 years after being completed stored in a dusty but climate controlled garage and after a long stretch and some tinkering she is ready for some action!

The whole Jeep was gone through in the late 90s after being acquired by the previous owner by the original owner family who had it new for farm use and then the grandson in the late 60s to early 70s had it as an advertising piece for his auto parts store in central DE. Mileage was said to be original. Flat Head 4. The jeep has practically new tires, a brand new battery, coil, cap, rotor, plugs and plug wires and floor ignition switch. The fuel tank, wiring harness, fuel lines, brake lines and so on were all replaced previously as well. The frame and body are both in great shape.

Very solid Jeep here as shown in the photos. Some things were changed such as the spare tire and wheel location, a roll cage was added for safety and seat belts were added as well. All are easily removed if you prefer to be more period correct. Vacuum operated  drivers side wiper even works! Newer Bestop soft top in great condition as well as the full soft doors seen in the photos. Tiny crack in the drivers side windshield glass. Paint shows very well. Has some tiny blemishes up close but these things were not painted even when they were new to be show stoppers.

I would say this Jeep is a very solid driver quality piece that is sure to grab just about anyone’s attention. I have all new brakes for the front and rear that will go with the Jeep as well as various manuals, a cover, spare oil filter and other small bits and pieces acquired over time. Starts, runs, rides, stops, idles and cools great.

I see a tiny drop of oil on the floor every now and then from the oil pan, never cared to fool with it. No issues there. Has not seen much action lately other than in and out of the garage and fair weather spins around the neighborhood with my son and wife. Be prepared for questions, this thing gets attention. If I have it at the bottom of the driveway while cleaning out the garage the lookie loo’s all come around!

More information to come! I also have a video of it running that I will post shortly as well. As you can see I have too much laying around and I am trying to reduce the toys laying around. I have a hellcat in the garage that’s buried at this point from the clutter. No the Tri-Z is not for sale. Neither is the Lifted Platinum Superduty “

Runs.

“Arizona Willy’s shipped here 2 years ago. Garaged, Registered, Title in hand. No rust. All original. Run around with her as is, or do a restoration, its all there. Comes with: new tailgate and chains, Supports for canvas, spare rim.

If you know what this is you know its worth my asking price, please don’t waist my time or yours with lowball offers. Show up with cash and drive it home. I’ve had more fun with this car than any I’ve owned.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $4500.

(09/19/2017) Apart from the body, it isn’t clear what else needs finishing.

“After seven years a lot of hard work it’s time to sell my 1946 Willys CJ2a. I’ve taken it down to the bare frame and rebuilt it. It runs and drives now but isn’t quite finished. Underneath everything has been painted, bed-lined, resealed, the brakes are all new, and the exhaust is fresh as well. I’ve been through the engine, rebuilt the carb, and the entire wiring harness has been replaced. I fixed the major rust, redid the floors and left the rest alone because I like patina. It comes with lots of spares (extra engine, transfer case, hood, and another complete set of axles) and could basically be driven as is. Of course if you want it shiny, that’s OK too.”

UPDATE: Price dropped to $3200.

“1948 jeep willys, runs and drives beautifully, 4X4 works perfectly. Has had tons of work done, just needs someone to finish it off (or leave the great old patina and enjoy it). Comes with 6 stock wheels that need new tires mounted on. Text for details or to schedule a time to come check it out”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.

Listed as a 1945 GPW, I don’t see anything that early on it. Maybe the frame still is? Has some practical, offroad updates. If it is a GPW frame, look for twists caused by the V8.

“1945 willys jeep (ford GPW) restoration partially done, 350 small block motor, with less than 15000 since rebuild, Dana 30 front axle Dana 44 rear axle , new leaf springs , dual fuel tanks , Munsie 4 speed transmission ,, super cool jeep runs great!!”

Appear worth a look. Has the wrong windshield frame and lacks parking lights. No description provided.

This has some mods including changes to the steering, engine, front cross member and dash. The body has also had work done to it. The seller includes a pic that purports to show the values of a CJ-2A based on Haggerty insurance.

“1947 WILLY’S MILITARY STYLE JEEP
Dad graduated from High School in 1947 so he had to have a 47. The motor has been rebuilt and the vehicle has newly upholstered seats and a vinyl cab. It has no tail gate which makes it military style I am told. This partial restoration comes with a vintage first aid kit. It will start on the first turn. . . . if it has enough gas.”
