UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was $3500

(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.

“1947 Willys Jeep CJ Red”

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.”

UPDATE: Still Available

(12/17/09) The body might be good, but the paint sure looks rough.

“Spring over. Body very good. Flathead 4 cylinder. Runs. Needs carb work. 35″ tires with Mickey Thompson rims. Call 937-216-6042”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000

The body looks pretty clean.

“New water pump, head just machined, new fuel tank, new shocks.”

UPDATE:  Still Available

(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.

“I have a stock 1947 Willys CJ-2A, the body work is 95% complete and the frame has been blasted, primed and powder coated black along with the wheels. The engine is in good condition and just needs rebuilt since it has sat for along time. Th engine is #’s matching down to the generator and voltage regulator.”

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was $1500

It may run, but it’s not “ALL” original.

“1948 JEEP WILLYS..ALL ORIGINAL..FACTORY 4CYL MOTOR..REALLY COOL!!!
DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH!!”

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was $2500.

(06/23/09) The suspension has been highly modified.

“1949 willlys jeep with all toyota running gear; 20r eng, transmission, transfer case and rear ends. Great project to finish up and get out on the trail. Needs a few things finished up but I have all the parts needed. I also have two toyota parts rigs that can go with it for free. It has a soft top but not in great shape and it also has a new bikini top and new tires.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was  on eBay. Possibly a Porter & Reed hardtop.

Here’s a CJ-2A that has the spare tire on the driver side and the bow holders on the passenger side.  I see no evidence to indicate this was a military vehicle or a military ambulance.

“I am selling a 1948 Willys for a friend of mine.  It runs good, all tires hold air, and it’s fun to drive around the farm.  It has a clear missouri title.  He was told that it used to be a military ambulance.  I have posted several pics of it, but I can get all the pics you need, so just send me an email and tell me what you would like to see. I am starting the auction at the lowest price he said he would take for the willys, but if you want to make a reasonable offer I will ask him if he will take it.”

UPDATE:  Price has risen.

(01/18/09) It’s a project.

“Got It From grandpa. Means alot to me but need cash.. grill, fenders, body, motor, seats, top, hood,some wires,and window.  It ran few years back. bolts broke. good project. even got keys for the ignition. 2500 obo”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $16,000.

The seller claims this is an AgriJeep.  In his book Preproduction Civilian Jeeps, Frederic Coldwell makes a convincing argument that despite filing for the trademark Agrijeep, and the use of the name Agrijeep on the CJ-1, Willys Overland quickly abandoned that trademark to focus in on the trademark Jeep for CJ-2’s and CJ-2A’s.  Note: there might be some debate to this based on some of the websites I reviewed – some believe the CJ-2 is an Agrijeep as well.  While I’m not in a position to provide any input into that debate, I would still review this seller’s claim cautiously.

“Rare 1948 Agri-Jeep, power take off, 3 point hitch. Only three prototypes made. Factory aluminum plate is 2 inch x 3 inch on the frame in back”

UPDATE:  Price dropped to $2300.  More pics.  Looks like a great price.

It looks like it runs and has a really bright orange blade.  Other than that, I can’t tell much.

“1948 Willy’s with Meyers Plow. 2.3 Ford engine, 3-speed manual, 4×4, hi-low. Not perfect, but not bad for 60+ years. $2300 or best offer. Contact email.”
