This looks more like a CJ-3A to me.  It’s clearly a paint job from another era … I love it!  I’m wondering if this has the hudston steering.  It has hydraulic clutch/brake and probably swing pedals.

“1946 Willy Jeep. I believe it is the CJ – 2A model. This is a perfect starting spot for a full restore / rebuild. Pretty much everything is there other than the original engine which was only there for a little while because my Grandfather swapped it for a 283 Corvette Engine. Fenders, hood, grille, rims, tires, spare, 4 wheel transmission, axles, unknown transmission (hooked up with 283), steering column, steering wheel, shift linkage, all seats, gas tank, lights, wiring, ignition with key, fold down windshield, more random parts, etc. Please note, these pictures were taken a while ago and the tachometers are no longer with the car, everything else is the exact same.”

There’s a variety of updates to this flattie.

“35″ tires in great shape, 327 Chevy from a 69 Impala, racing seats with 5 point harnesses, and a New besttop top included. Body is in OK shape, some dents, some minor rust. Needs minor repairs you can do while you drive it like a front end alignment, misc wiring repair, and a brake upgrade. Asking $4700. Possible partial trades for atv, log splitter, or ? Would also trade for 4 door pickup or suv 98 or newer.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2600

(05/02/2010) The windshield has been modified and the glass is missing.

“I have a 1948 willys jeep. Im asking 2600 or will TRADE for a nice fourwheeler(no less then 200cc) + 500 cash. It has dana rear ends. Dana transfer case. It has original flathead GODEVIL 4 cyl. Runs good, need glass for windshield. and needs brake work. but does run and drive good. Dont smoke at all. Jeep is all original except for seats and taillights. Has no Title at this time, has been appraised to apply for a bonded title. I have an appraisal form”

UPDATE:  Price dropped to $3000 (was $5000 2 years ago)

This one hasn’t been re-listed in over 2 years.  The pics show the jeep has been been painted with a rough body paint of some kind (herculiner maybe).  This jeep still has no engine or transfercase.

(04/12/2010) The fiberglass body for my jeep came from Lakeview.  It’s a tiny town, but they have a nice meat shop as well.

“1947 jeep willys, engine Buick 225 V6, 4 speed muncie, electronic ignition, new brakes, new hydraulic clutch, new wiring, new alternator, new water pump, newer radiator, headers W/ new mufflers, new drivelines w/ new u joints, new bearings in the front end, new seats, SOFT TOP W/DOORS, extra 3speed mated to a dana 18 twin stick out of older cj wrangler.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2800.

“This is a 1946 Willys flat fender Jeep. If you are looking for originality then you should probably stop reading. This does not have the original engine, seats, windshiels, top etc. If you are looking for a really fun toy that is dependable and goes ANYWHERE this might be your Willys. It starts with the first turn of the key and runs very well. the transfer case works as it should and this thing is unstopable if you like to 4×4. It is a great farm vehicle as well. It has a PTO out the back and there are all kinds of attachments you can find to play with. I have seen these with all kinds of PTO attachments.  As far a dependability and running wise it is in great shape. The steering is a bit sloppy and I was going to attend to it but I have decided to sell it. It does not have a title but I understand it is not hard to get one in Indiana and I might be able to help with that. I have a new fishing boat comming and I need to sell quickly.”

This runs and drives, has nice rims, has a PTO … looks like a good price.

I believe that’s an MB windshield?  I don’t think this is all original, but appears like it might be a good parts jeep.

This looks good, but apparently it needs some work.

“1946 cj2a Jeep Willys. It has an early model 302 engine and a T90 tranny with overdrive. The tires are Wild Cat 30/950s with 90%+ tred on them. A WARN 6000 lb winch, new fuel tank and sending unit.

“Stock motor and transmission.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.

It almost looks like there is a MB-esque jockey box in the dash.

“Up for sale is a 1946 Jeep Willys. We have the title which is # 8420494. It also has a motor# listed 21785. This is a hard to find old jeep that has been modified to be a tough old son of a gun.

We have the keys and it ran good about 4 years ago when it was parked. The gas tank needed cleaning badly so we hooked up an gas can to the side and ran it off of it the last time we moved it. It has been customized and much of the body has been replaced by welding heavy duty metal plates. This was my grandfathers and we don’t know a lot about it other than it used to run great but will need some work. You will likely have to trailer it home. The tires are going low and we were told the brake drums were replaced, but we cannot guarantee that.”

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was $3000

(03/09/2010) This sports a fiberglass body.
