This is a non running jeep due as the transmission has been removed.

“Buick 283ci V6, 4” Rancho suspension lift. Muncie 4speed. Transmition has been removed and has a broken spline gear. Trailer not included but is also for sale.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200

This is a project that sounds like it doesn’t run.

Today it’s been all about parts!  Here’s another project or possible parts jeep.

“For sale is my 1948 CJ3A Jeep. 4WD. I began the restoration process four years ago and have been unable to continue due to family and job. The old rusted body was removed and a NEW steel body set on the frame (not attached yet) The engine has about 500 miles on a professional overhaul and runs perfect and was not removed from the frame. The entire drive train is still intact. The tires are military NDs and is very good shape. The fuel tank was new just prior to beginning the process. The spare is good the wheel is not. The glass is good. I also have a full metal tip with door (roll sown windows) which is bolted on in the winter. It too is in good shape and may be included for $200.00. If you are so inclined, I also have a full frame and drive train (intact) from a 1953 Jeep Overland Wagon. It has an overhead cam engine, the same transmission and change over case. I’ll throw it in for another $100.00!”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2200

This might be a good price.

“1948 Willys CJ2A. All original except wheels and 11 inch brakes. New tires. Runs and drives good but smokes a little. Selling because I have two other Jeep projects”

It does not appear to be a VEC CJ-2A.

“1946 Willys CJ2A runs and drives good, new fuel tank, new tires. 601-573-0123. Make me an offer. I will look at trade for camo polaris rzr + cash from me.”

It appears to be a running CJ-2A for $1500.  I can’t tell what the condition is.

“Original engine, has heavy duty tow bar and skid plates needs a little tlc. Has the original hard top manufactured by Rawson industries very uncommon. $1500.00 negotiable. Call 512 669 3452 or reply to make arrangements to see”

I’m wondering if auto appraisers make their money as a percentage of an appraisal, because every appraisal I’ve seen has been way off of the market value. The one thing I really like about this jeep is the cool old top and doors; it looks in good condition. I’m not sure what a “one piece roll cage” is exactly; maybe it is made from one tube? This jeep has some good upgrades.

“For Sale, 1946 Willys Jeep, Custom built from the ground up. Full one piece roll cage, Warn overdrive (you can split every gear, including reverse). Buick V6, 4 core radiator, power brakes, power steering, tilt / telescoping steering wheel, HEI ignition, manual / electronic fuel pump.  This has been in my family for almost 40 years, and was normally ONLY driven to hunt or to get ice cream.”

This looks to be in good mechanical shape.  It does not appear to be a VEC.

This jeep appears to have a MB body.  This might be a good price for $1000.

“A 1946 Jeep Willys. Fair Condition. Needs new spark plugs and possibly coil. Parts are easy to find and relativily inexpensive. Front bumper missing and bumper mount bent slightly. Good jeep, just not used anymore. Will negotiate.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

It’s got some floor rust and the body has some dings.

“1947 WILLYS MODEL 2J2A -all original except 12 volt conversion. Solid body and frame but not with out some rust as pictured. 12 volt system all lights and gauges in working order.

This runs, drives and has a good body (according to the seller).  This might not be a bad deal.  It is still a project.  I suspect it needs more than just the lights wired and paint.

“Excellent example of a 1948 Jeep Willys. It has been converted to a 12 volt system. Body is in good condition, runs and drives good. Interior is in good condition. It has only been driven a few miles as an occasionally.

UPDATE:  Status unknown.

I love this jeep.  It’s running on makeshifts, prayers, and desperation.  Just look at the battery location (below pic).

UPDATE:  Pictures added and price dropped.

This might be a good price, though I can’t tell what the rust situation is.

“Good start for jeep project. All original except is 12volt now. Motor runs, but needs rebuilt. Very little rust. I am interested in trading for running 1981-1985 Toyota 4×4, or Samurai, or VW bug. I like the old jeep, but need something that is reliable for my kid. I am not interested in any other vehicles unless they are compareable to what I have stated”

This might not be a bad price.
