1948 CJ-2A Phoenix, AZ $2000

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $2000.

(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”

1947 CJ-2A Nevada City, CA **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.

Bill spotted this one. Note the unusual fork lift setup on the rear. I don’t know if this was a one-off creation or a purchasable piece of equipment. Looks to be hydraulically operated.

“Classic but very tired post war jeep. All complete, this jeep lived most of it’s life (so far) on an Avacado Orchard in San Diego area. Hence the pack fork (short lift forklift) on the back. It was used to move boxes of Avo’s around the orchard and general farming duties. That area is hilly so it comes with some dents.
The motor was near dead, I drove the jeep a little, pulled the motor and found it was already punched to 80 over so needs sleeves or replacement.
Comes with pink slip (what are the chances of that) and all the jeep stuff I have which isn’t much beyond pictured.Sc

Scammers, save your effort, cash is king. Will trade for vintage (euro) motorcycles/scooters”

1945 VEC CJ-2A Winona, MN **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3650.

(06/13/2017) Here’s an early jeep. It’s been converted to a floor shift, but the original steering column appears to be there.

1945-vec-cj2a-winona-mn

“If you’re looking for a true American icon that is in very restorable condition this could be for you. The Willys CJ2A “Jeep” was the first jeep made available to the public in numbers after it became the vehicle so widely loved by the allies during WWII. The 1945 model is the first born of the civilian jeep family and began the civilian lineage for ALL the jeeps that followed. There were 1824 units produced for the 1945 model year. It appears as though there are 40+ units registered in the “CJ2A Page” webpage forum so it is a very rare beast. This one was originally pasture green. The body tub and tailgate ACM #’s are 2122.

The body and frame tags are in the correct positions so I assume them to be correct. The engine S/N is 11725-B. It runs well. Compression runs from a high of 88 psi on #3 to 70 psi on #2. Oil pressure is 20 psi at idle to 40+. The original column shift linkage is gone but the transmission still retains the side shift attachment points. I do have the correct, restorable transmission, column and transfer case with E-brake to return this Jeep to the original column shift/drivetrain configuration. The clutch works well and it shifts nicely. The original transfer case was replaced by a later, larger diameter idler shaft style, which functions well. The rear axle appears to be date coded 9 18 45. I could not determine the date code on the front but it is the earlier style with bolt on control arms.

Jim shared this one. Not quite “all original”, especially the cargo area.

“Black tag” means it is tagged non-operational.

1947 CJ-2A Oak Brook, IL **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.

The jeep ran and drive before disassembly. Now it’s a project.

“I’m selling my 1947 CJ2A project. The jeep runs and drives (just not now). When I got it in February/March, I was driving it around, then realized the transfer case had a stuck fork. So the transfer-case was rebuilt.

Here is what needs to be done:
-Clutch work
-bleed the brakes
-electrical
-body work
Everything is there albeit a few broken bolts that were discarded during disassembly. Comes with extra jerry cans and an original WWII Grill. This would make a great military jeep when restored!
This was going to be restoration project but real-life has since gotten in the way. No tire-kickers”
