UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was $1500.

This looks good for a $1500 running jeep.  I’d drop in a battery and starter before buying though.

“1948 Willys Jeep CJ2A,the Jeep will need a new starter,a battery to make it road worthy. The engine is in great shape, the tranny and the 4×4 are in great shape,the brakes system is in good shape,the jeep has new military tires size 16″,the steering system is not original and the tub will need some welding,but it is drivable as it is.”

UPDATE:  These sold for $1200 on 01/06/2009.

Two jeeps for one price.  The jeep pictured looks pretty stock and the body appears fairly straight.

“1948 and 1947 willys jeeps as a pair. there is enough parts to build one whole jeep. the 48 is the good one with a reworked body in very good shape and good running gear, one engine is cracked and the other turns over good.

I think the body on this looks in very good shape.  It looks like with some polish, the paint might be in pretty good shape underneath all that dust.

“1947 CJ2 Jeep 4 cylinder. 4 wheel drive, high and low transmission. Runs and drives great. Mechanics in working order. Converted to a 12 vikt. Body in good to great condition, no major rust.

There’s been a bunch of good mods to this jeep.  Based on this gear calculator,  to reach 65 mph, the engine would be more in the 3300 rpm range.

“Am selling do to a back injury , this is our anytime any place jeep , here is a little more about her , this is the real deal , daily driver and crawler.  GM injected 350 V-8, 465 4 speed with granny low, GM 205 transfer case , gear drive, aluminum Mac’s racing radieor, 7000lbs warren winch, 6 point roll cage , bolts to frame, racing bucket seats…”

UPDATE:  The price has dropped to $900 …

There might still be some value in this jeep.

“1947 Willys (Project Vehicle)with clear title. This would be a great project vehicle for someone that has the time, I don’t. I have had this in storage sense 1977 (last time it ran). It has a V6 engine that only had about 5K miles on it before going into storage. The rest of the power train is original 3speed, transfer case, etc. How ever at the moment I’m not able to turn the crank over by hand? It has been stored in a few locations, one garage having leaks. There for it also has its rust problems. I know it also needs a new brakeing system, mufflers, and windsheld, as well. E-mail or call 253 921-2153”

This jeep has a few older upgrades.  It probably needs some work.

“New or rebuilt everything has a flat heat 6 motor new 2 barrel carburetor, tuneup, breaks, tires, has aftermarket hubs and power steering has a PTO gear type”

Here’s a running flatfender that appears in good shape. The engine doesn’t look like much.  Good looking roll cage, though I prefer bars on the outer edges between the loops rather than just in the center.  If you have ever been jeeping in a tight spot and had the roll cage bar bump along a tree, you’ll know what I mean.  It’s too easy to catch a tree inbetween the two loops.

UPDATE:  This nice CJ-2A is still for sale.  There’s lots of updates to this jeep, including, I think, reversed front shackles.

“This is a very nice CJ-2A California jeep that is redone as a WWII Medic’s vehicle. This was my Dad’s Jeep which he purchased in California (where he lived) in the 60’s. I brought it to Pennsylvania last year and put a new exhaust, brake system and water pump on it along with a tune up and head gasket. New canvass summer top and front seat cushions. Has always been garaged here in PA. Runs, drives and stops like new. Has new radial tires and Overdrive which really makes driving it a joy.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500

It looks like this jeep has had some interesting upgrades.  I’ve seen a few other jeeps with the Ford 9 inch rear, but am not clear what the advantages of that are.

“Willys CJ2A Low Hood Flat Fender Jeep. Engine is a fuel injected 4.3 liter Chevy V6. Manual transmission, newly rebuilt transfer case, Ford 9 inch rear, winch. Asking $8500 or best offer. In Yakima, WA.”

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was $1500

“1945 Willys Jeep- It has a 4 cylinder engine which turns over, but it has an electrical problem somewhere so it is not starting. It has a rebuilt starter. It also has a tow bar, a roll bar, and dualmatic locking hubs. Needs brake job. I have the pink slip and it’s registered as a non-op. We have too many projects and need to sell this one.”

This may be a pretty good deal if the bodies are in reasonable shape.

“1947 Willy’s and 1948 Willy’s. Both are complete the 47 has been inside for over 15 years and the 48 has been inside for over 12 years. Both should run with some tender loving care. The 47 has not been started or ran in over 2 years. The 48 has not ran since purchased over 12 years ago. Previous owner used it frequently and I purchased it for a project. Have aluminum hard top and soft top, too. Buy the whole works for $2500.00 You won’t be disappointed.

Not bad for a parts jeep or fun jeep for $500.  It looks like most everything is there.

“47 willys engine is out. I have engine the block has several cracks in it. No title. Frame is solid.”
