For only $1200, this is worth a look.  It looks to me like there is no glass in the windshield.

I can’t tell if this is an early ’46 or not. Only one pic provided.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000

This looks great.

“This is a fine example of an early Willys Jeep, which has had lots of recent repair and upgrade. The frame has been reinforced and it has some mild lift springs. The front axle has Warn locking hubs. The rear taillights are aftermarket lights much brighter than the original for safety. A roll bar has been installed for safety….. “

This jeep has some great drive train upgrades.  With the seller willing to negotiate, this might become a pretty good deal for someone.

“I have a ’47-ish Willys jeep for sale. It has a Buick 225, SM420(I think), Dana 300, Dana 30 front, Dana 44 rear. The Willys needs a little work; the headlights need to be installed and wired and the cooling system needs help. The wiring is very simple, a few butt connectors and everything will light right up. I think the radiator needs to be flushed to clear a few blocked tubes, nothing major. The battery will need to be charged, but the Willys starts and runs just fine; ‘tiI it gets too hot. I have a clear AZ title that is ready to be notarized and turned over to the buyer. Because it is a 1947 vehicle no emissions are required. With a little work this Willys will be a great little machine. Let me know if you’re interested. $2700 OBO. I’m willing to negotiate a reasonable price, please reply with your phone number. Thanks, JN Crowe.”

“1948 JEEP CJ-2A, PLOW, SOFT TOP, AND MANY EXTRA PARTS. GARAGE STORED WHEN NOT DRIVING OR PLOWING.”

Here’s a militarized CJ-2A where the seller has gone all out with extras.  Why wait for the auction when you can purchase it now for only $19.9K.  Overall, the jeep appears in pretty good condition.

“.. Vehicle runs beautifully and drives straight. Everything is operational. This is noted ALL ORIGINAL 1948 Willys metal body and frame. Sandblasted and repaired with METAL as needed. Body is not perfect, I wanted to keep as much original parts as I could. I am a perfectionist with attention to detail, and though the jeep is not perfect, it is close. It is a great turn-key jeep that is ready for a collector or a special person to enjoy. This is a dependable vehicle that starts when you want it to, so you can enjoy it instead of having to work on it. Parts are still available for this vehicle if ever needed, part supply information will be provided ….”

UPDATE:Was $3600. **SOLD**

This is a pretty fun looking jeep (maybe it’s the scoop?).  I’m wondering if it’s got floating hubs in the rear?  Something is sticking out.

“1947 lifted willys with a chevy small block 283 v8. standard 3 speed transmission, twin stick transfer case, 31 in. tires, roll bar. runs strong. also have soft top to go with it.”

“1948 Willy’s Jeep seats are reupolstured, solid body and frame. Purrs like a kitten. Our family has had a wonderful time with this Jeep now it’s time for a new family to enjoy it.25,700 miles. We have loved it now we hope you will.”

UPDATE 2: The seller and Robert agreed to a price, so Robert will be taking this nice VEC home 🙂

UPDATE: Robert provided a great link to a CJ-2A page post that discusses how bodies with driver side indents were mixed with non driver side indent bodies during assembly.

A reader named Randy pointed this jeep out to me.  This VEC has the serial #24076.  This CJ-2A has the column shift, as it should (up to #38221). However, I would expect it to also have the driver side indents (up to #29500)?

“This wonderful Very Early Civilian CJ2A is in great shape. See the pictures below. It is very solid for an unrestored 1946.  My father obtained this jeep in, I believe, 1956. I don’t know any of its history before this time. When we got it it was blue. (I’m sure it was originally forest green though, in places you can see green and the wheels were yellow. I understand that was an original color scheme.)…. A good mechanical refurbishing was done, in the late 1980s. The motor and transfer case were rebuilt. It was converted to 12v. The charging system was upgraded to 12v but the original starter was kept (it really turns over but you don’t want to crank it for a long period). A voltage reduction was used to retain the original instruments. It was again re-painted blue…..”
