I think more than “a little” elbow grease will be required.

“We are selling our project jeep! A little elbow grease and you’ll have a great piece of history!”

(06/23/2017) Needs some work. Has some mods.

“1948 Jeep CJ2A with Chevy 283 engine (same engine in very old Corvettes) and auto transmission, and even a PTO next to the transmission. It also has Toyota truck axles with a Posi of sorts, so it sends power to the wheel that has the grip. If you’re looking for stock, this is not the one for you. If you’re looking one built for serious 4×4 capability, then this is a good one.

Engine and transmission ran fine before this sat for many years in my driveway. I rebuilt the carburetor 1 1/2 years ago, and it started right up. However, I put it in drive, and nothing happened. It has continued to sit, and it’s time to go to a someone that can fix it up. It has an incredible starting base, just needs to be fixed up, and you’ll get people surrounding you every time you stop in order to check it out.

Other things it will need – tires, radiator, seats, a tune-up, and of course, transmission rebuild. You will have to tow it, and it will come with a tow-bar.

Setting the price at $3000 or obo. No low ballers, because I’d rather fix it up myself than entertain a ridiculous offer. I can’t answer calls during the day, but texts ok – may take awhile to get back to you though. I can take calls in the evening after 7”
