UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

This is a NellyBelle look-a-like. Note the bent frames rails in the fourth pic.

“”Whoa Nelly”  Being a fan of  Roy, Dale and Pat I decided I wanted a Nelly Belle of my own so this 1947 CJ2A turned into one.  It sure isn’t “the” Nelly But I think Pat would recognize her.   She is very stock, 6V, L head stock axels.  Tires about 2 years old with less than 500 miles.  Radiators good, fuel tanks new, all gauges work. Starts, runs and stops fine.  No steering wobble.  The Nelly Belle tins included of course, 20 mm ammo cans, hand fabricated doors and a cut down windshield complete with gun port.  She’s ready to parade or play, biggest problem is finding people who know who Roy, Dale, Pat and Nelly are.  Isn’t that a shame.”

UPDATE:  Price dropped to $4200

(01/30/2011) The steps look a little odd.

I guess the part about the tub being part CJ-2A and part CJ-5 is only shared on a need-to-know basis.  That said, for a run about vehicle it probably functions just fine.

UPDATE: Was Make Offer. **SOLD**

There is some value here.

“1946 CJ 2A Willys Jeep frame, rear axle, transmission, transfer case, L-head engine block and head, hood, two fenders, grill, and 4 -16″ tires and rims. Body is in tough shape but the front clip portion is generally good.The engine will need rebuilding and does not run Also have many parts including 6 v generator, voltage regulator, coil, headlights, and starter. I also have 2 front seat frames and other misc. parts for CJ 2A Willys. If interested, email me with a phone number and I will call you.”

Debbie, you and I need to talk.  Seriously.  I mean, to claim this is “Unadulterated” is a bit of a stretch, don’t you think? I know it is a big word, but, still,  I feel like I have a pretty solid grasp of the concept and this isn’t it.

“A fine unadulterated example of the CJ2A model from the last year they were manufactured. It has an older Emerald Green paint job that’s year appropriate and looks fine at 20 feet, but is peeling in places. The body and frame are very solid, showing only light surface rust and no rust penetrations. It starts easily, runs and drives well, the 4-cyl flathead “Go Devil” engine is strong and blows clean. The electrical system has been converted to 12-volt for reliability.

The jeep has been barn kept for the past 10 years and used around the farm to pull garden equipment. This jeep would make a great summer driver as-is, and is the perfect candidate for a simple restoration to make it a 10.

To view and drive please call Debbie at 802-877-9291″
