UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.

For $1500 it runs and drives.  Might be a reasonable deal.

“For Sale – 1946 Willy’s CJ-2A Jeep. I bought this Jeep years ago with the intention of doing a slight resto-mod on it. I came to realize over the past year that don’t have the money or time to do this correctly…. I’ve recently put on a Rancho 3 inch suspension lift, with a spring over. At the same time, I put on Spiderco ¾ wheel spacers on all four wheels Also recently replaced were the Solex carburetor and an restored the fuel pump back to the original style glass bowl type. The transmission on the jeep was re-built about 3 years ago (approx 3000 miles since rebuild) Runs and drives, there is an issue with the passenger side rear wheel cylinder leaking a little bit, but the replacement is only like $15 from www.Jeepdoc.com …. Asking $1500 for the Jeep, serious inquiries only please.”

UPDATE:  Still Available

This would make a great restoration project.

“This has been my elderly fathers Jeep for many years. There is no rust, as any sign of rust was replaced with new metal. It has a 1960’s Buick V6 conversion. The motor has few miles since a complete overhaul. The jeep runs and drives great. It also has new tires with very few miles as well. The jeep was only driven around a small town on nice days, and always stored in winter months since his ownership. The price is $3,500 and is pretty firm. We are looking for a serious buyer, and not tire kickers who are looking to share old Jeep stories. Feel free to contact me at 608-575-4166 if you have serious interest…”

UPDATE: **SOLD** WAS $2850.

This jeep has its engine out and apart.

“1947 Willys Jeep CJ 2a, Army Green, Orig 4 cyl flat head. Very fun car. Ran good, but burned oil, so removed engine, hot tanked parts, ready to rebuild. Many new parts: $2850”

This might not be a bad price.  I think it depends on exactly what the herculiner on the inside is covering.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay

I got a couple problems with this jeep.  The seller claims the jeep has a “Frame Up Full Restoration”, however given the jeep has no engine or engine related parts, the use of the term full is pretty innaccurate.  Clearly, there’s been no restoration from the frame downward, as the U bolts are rusted, the shocks are greasy, etc.  Also, check out the roll cage; there isn’t even an attempt to place a plate underneath the fiberglass body to sandwich the body at the very least, let alone a proper attempt to tie the roll cage into the frame.  A stock buick 225 engine is rated at about 150 – 160 hp, not 175hp.  The paint job does look very nice and their appear to be a number of other new parts as well.  The opening bid price is $3995.

“Up for highest offer is a 1947 Willys Jeep painted 1965 Ford Poppy Red.  Original frame and Willys overland Drivetrain.Needs motor.   Frame up full restoration.  many aftermarket parts 5000.00 invested . Aftermarket HD fiberglass body and fenders .  many parts to much to list. Comes with 1970 Jeepster Commando with Buick Dauntless running V6 engine.     You will need to buy the V6 swap kit to link the Buick V6 to the T90 transmission….”

UPDATE:  This is back on eBay.  Very nice work!

This appears to be a well done restoration, though not restored to original specs.  In an earlier post, I mentioned the body was probably an aftermarket body, but I was wrong.  The seller indicates this is the original body.  If that’s the case, then the seller has some excellent work on this CJ. Apparently, this about the 15th CJ the seller has built.  See the comments on the ebay ad for additional information about this CJ.

“1946 Restored Willys CJ2A. Jeep restored for daily driver with reliable GM 4 cylinder and 4 speed manual transmission.  12-volt electrical system with battery relocated between seats, brand new “best top” and doors, 6-point roll cage, transfer case and hubs rebuilt in restoration.  Fuel cell in rear cargo area (not under driver’s seat as originally built). Auto meter gauges. Frame is immaculate.  Body and paint exceptional, no rust whatsoever.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

“This 1947 Willys Jeep runs and acts just like its old.  However she’s reliable and has her own personality. Yep just like all the old ones this gal needs a special touch to start, for which I will show the new buyer. Yes, I did drive it as a work vehicle for three years. Its a 6 VOLT system and the engine was overhauled in 1967 which is stamped on the block. Original nameplates are on the body. The transmission shifts great, does not jump gears and does leaks a “little” oil around the seals. The 4×4 transfer case shifts in & out smoothly. The PTO works great and drives the 60’ish Ramsey 12,000 LB winch just fine…. .”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $950.

This is a project with a rough body.  However, the body tag indicates an early serial number of 11019.

You mean, it’s not supposed to smoke?

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.

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

“CJ2A, WILLYS JEEP. 1948 SOLD WITH BILL OF SALE. RUNNING ,FLOOR AND HAT CHANNEL HAVE BEEN REPLACED, BODY HAS BEEN SAND BLASTER AND PRIMERED. MOTOR SMOKES BUT HAS NEVER BEEN REBUILT. NICE FRAME AND BODY.”

This jeep has some good lines, a nice paint job, and some good tires/rims.  But, the box on the hood …

It appears the gauges and steering column have been updated.  It appears in reasonable shape.

“Willys Jeep 1946 CJ2A with V6 Buick engine and new top and battery. Good 31 in. BF Goodrich tires with spare. T-90 Tranny. Good front seats. This Jeep is fun!! Runs! Go 4 wheelin’!! Full roll cage.  Cash only. No checks. No shipping. No trading. Vehicle located in Napa.”

This jeep sports some classic old tires that look like they still have some decent tread on them.  I had a set back in ’84 like that set.
