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.”

I’d like to see a few more pics.  Looks pretty good.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2700.

There’s a variety of nice updates to this CJ-2A.  The hole in the hood would not be one of them.  I bet the seller would throw in the ‘rock’ brake (note driver’s side tire) as a freebie.

“GOOD SOUND 1947 JEEP PROJECT. HAS A SMALL BLOCK 350 WITH CORVETTE MANIFOLDS IN IT BUT THE MOTOR GOT RAIN WATER IN IT. IT COMES WITH A FRESH MILD BUILT CHROMED 350 WITH EDELBROCK ALUMINUM INTAKE.

WOULD BE A FUN PROJECT.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1600

“I bought this with intentions of restoration but it isn’t going to happen. I replaced all the brake lines, hoses, wheel cylinders and master cylinder. It runs decent, will need an exhaust manifold. I’ve got the doors for the hardtop with good glass. Certainly not road worthy but a good candidate for restoration.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.

“1947 Willy’s Jeep $1500 OBO. I am motivated to sell.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3495.

It’s definitely got a variety of good modifications.  It looks well equipped for the trails.

“This Classic is set up for the Hunter/Offroader. V-6 Engine,4 Speed (Heavy Duty Ford Truck) Transmission.
Warren Overdrive, Power Take off Wench,Oversized brakes, Chevy Steering. Cargo Rack with Jerry can racks in the rear, Tow bar, Full Roll Cage.  Trailer hitch, Reciever hitch in front,Dunlop 31X10.5/R15 Mud Rover Tires (like new).”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800.

Sounds like it needs a little work.  Strangely, no step-side drain holes or a gas inlet hole.  I’m not sure whether the back is solid or not.

“46 Jeep CJ2A with some other parts, like the windshield is 53.- Military colors, this is a great farm jeep or offroad project. Runs great, great rubber. Floor pan has some rot. Frame and all other parts and metal are in good shape. Front seats in good shape. 12volt conversion done and makes it street legal. We used it for the summer house, comes with full doors and top.”

UPDATE:  This one is still for sale. It’s a steal, unless the owner is leaving something critical out. It’s been for sale for 6 months.

One look at the parts list and you’ll see a lot of similarities to my build.  While the ‘needs TLC’ always raises an eyebrow, if the updated parts were installed well and the body is in good condition, then I think this price is rocking.

” A perfect off-roader!!! ,Buick v-6, Turbo 350 Automatic, Detroit locker rear, Trac lock front, 538 gears, 44 rear, 30 front, Steal body, Tow hooks front & rear, Street legal, but would need TLC before you would street drive, But a perfect off-roader, she will take you anywhere up, down, over or across To many toys, need to sell.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $600.

This appears to be a great price assuming you can at least turn over the engine.  The body parts look pretty good from the pics as well.
