The seller claims this is WWII paint.  You be the judge.  That issue aside, it looks clean and solid.

“Original flathead 4 cyl. enigine, has been rebuilt, Has Hard to find rear PTO and engine mounted governor. Has new exhaust, shocks,new lights and lenses. Has New Army paint and flat clear coat and stencil painted numbers and stars. Seat foam has been replaced and new seat covers installed. Has been converted to 12 volt for charging and better starting but uses original gauges. This Willys starts and runs great, idles smooth and very quiet. Has clear SD title. Tires are ok, but mismatched and brakes pull a little.. 4WD works good and transfer case and transmission shift fine. May be able to deliver for a fee.”

It runs, drives and maybe even plows.  I’m wondering if that is a DJ body given what appears to be a lack of a tailgate.

**SOLD to an ewillys reader**

“1947 Willys CJ2A. It needs work. I bought it about 3 years ago and just do not have the time or the money to restore it. It comes with a windshield but it is not original and it has a crack. It did work 2 and a half years ago but that was the last time I messed with it. It is not a military jeep. I have the title in my possession. $1000 or best offer.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was for Trade

It’s hard to tell much from the pics, however it appears in decent condition.  It’s a project.

(11/17/09) This one is right up the road  … well, up a couple roads from me.  I’ll drop by and check this out more closely. The description appears to highlight the important elements.

Here’s another CJ-5/Flattie Body Merger.  But, what really is unusual is that bumper.

“Too many projects, this one has to go!  I bought this Willys last summer with intentions of rebuilding it.  What was I thinking?  I have way to many things going right now and feel overwhelmed.  So, here is your chance to get a project that I believe will be worth doing.

The guy I bought it from said it was running when it was parked two summers ago and I believe him because they drove it flat and broke the bead on two tires and that is where they parked it.  The jeep is complete as far as I can tell and body is in fair condition.  It rolls freely, I towed it home over 40 miles with the tow bar that is on it.  The engine also rolls freely, I can turn it by hand.  It has an alternator so it has been converted to 12 volt.  The transmission and transfer case shift just fine.  The clutch pedal is stuck and the break pedal is hard to push, don’t know what the problem is there, sort of feels like it’s in the linkages.”

(12/07/09) This is very much a project still.  I love the Hayden area.  I still have relatives up there and if I could make a good living up there, I’d move in a heartbeat.
