It doesn’t run.  I suspect it’s the type of project where a lot needs to be replaced.

“1948 Willys Jeep with 289 ford motor. It currently doesn’t run, family owned since 1950, would make a great rebuild project. Make reasonable offer. 1-231-663-6029.”

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was $1800.

(09/09/09) This includes an overdrive and a winch.  Given those extras, this sounds like a pretty good price.

“1947 WILLYS CJ2A. I have owned since 1981. was my driver for a long time with the 4 cylinder in it. Purchased a rebuilt and balanced 4.3 v-6 (chevrolet) from motorworks in Spokane. Installed it and never finished. Never fired it off. It has ford 11″ brakes, warn overdrive, warn upright elec. winch w/cable controls (works), 3 1/2 lift w/springs, full cage, buckets, like new full top (black), diamond plate, spare tire/can carrier on rear. All there, just needs to be put back together. have many extra parts to go with it. transfer cases, adaptors, transmissions,etc”

Some paint would really help this.

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was $8000

(09/07/2009) This looks fine, but I doubt it will fetch $8000.

“This vehicle runs great, looks just as good and has plenty of power, authentic winch, spare tire mounted on the passenger side and new tires. Three speed manual transmission 4WD w/ worn hubs. Its been covered its entire life and the engine doesn’t have over a thousand miles on it, I don’t have any use for it and thought someone else might find a better use for it.”

$330 a jeep .. yeah, not too bad of a price..  It’s gonna take a big trailer to pick all of these up.

“5 Willys Jeeps CJ-2Bs 1946 models 3 have engines and transmissions 2 have transmissions, they all will need some work and maybe a few parts to get them going, Asking 1650.00 for all 5 for more info. call 828-899-2919 or email bd8206@aol.com”

UPDATE: This is back.  And is probably already sold, but just in case … see the Ad for a long description of why it has been relisted.

(sept 6) This might be a DJ-3A body.

“Email for details… Runs Well… V6 Engine… (lots of torque!) Husband is leaving for the military and I can’t store it 🙁 our loss your gain. Photos below.”

It’s got some big tires.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500.

This appears in great shape.

“Very nice 1947 Willys CJ2A, small block chevy, turbo 350 automatic transmission, full rhino lined inside, everything painted and powder coated. I will consider trade for things of equal value or cash to make the difference,. Let me know what you got.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800

The body appears in reasonable condition.

“1948 Willys CJ2A. Non-running project. Ran great until 5 years ago, when the engine started burning excessive oil. Started teardown of engine for rebuild, but lost time and interest. The jeep has been garaged ever since. Includes roll-bar w/ cage (cage removed). Best-Top full soft top with doors. Clear Maryland Title. Good restoration candidate. $1800/obo…”

It looks pretty stock, though it’s also a bit rough.

“1948 Will’y Jeep with a 1945 engine in it for sale. It runs! It has been converted to 12 volt. Please call for further details John (559)760-0021”

No pics and little description.

“needs work”

http://reno.craigslist.org/cto/1374343424.html

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4800.

This has an unusual roll cage.  Actually, I don’t know if those are bends in the bars or points.  I’m not sure I’d want to roll and find out.

“All original except tires and wheels, and roll cage. Runs and drives great, no rust,kept indoors ,been in family for over 50 years.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

This is probably a replacement body, since there is no battery box.

“It has been completely restored and modified. I have over 20K invested. There is no rust on it. It has a Kenne Bell Built Buick 225 V-6 pushing over 325HP; it has a Saginaw 4 speed manual transmission Spicer 18 twin stick, 2″ body lift, Dana 44 rear axle, and Dana 25 front axle with 538 gears. It has a Saginaw steering conversion very nice to drive. The tub has been Rhino lined top and bottom the engine compartment has been Rhino lined also. It has been converted to a 12 Volt system. It has brand new gauges, shifters, a yellow top Optima battery, and all new wiring, everything is all top of the line no detail has been over looked. I have all the receipts for all of the work that has been done to it and everything that has been bought for it”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $750

This looks in pretty poor shape.

“Selling my 46 Flattie, just not enough time or money at the moment so it’s gotta go. Only bought this this spring so I haven’t accomplished much. This will also include a partially torn down Buick 225 Odd-Fire V-6. Motor had a bent push rod and has sat for some time. All parts except distributor come with it though, I may be able to get a distributor if that’s the selling point. What you see is what you get with this one, no seats, cooling system, or wiring. From the middle of the cowl back is all torch cut 1/8″ plate, not nice to look at but would take a beating off road. There is a trans, transfercase, and axles present but I have not checked them out and it is to be assumed that they need rebuilt. Best part is this thing has a clear title in my name.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $400

“for sale is a vintage willys jeep not shur what year mostly compleate great for parts have many other willys jeep parts also no title.”
