UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.

“Leave the tow rig at home, this jeep gets 25+ mpg and cruises at 70 mph. Built with an all DOM tube chassis it’s super strong and only weighs 2000 lbs. Has long arm 4 link suspension for a lot of travel off road.
The entire drivetrain is from a 4 cyl. 1997 wrangler. Fuel injection and emissions are hooked up. Why show up at the trail in a rig that looks just like everybody elses?”

It looks like the seller put some effort into this rebuild.

This looks like a very solid, clean CJ-2A. I think the opening bid price on this is pretty reasonable.

“You are bidding on an original rarely seen 1947 Willys Jeep CJ-2A that has been mechanically restored to use as an excellent daily driver, cruise nights, a shore summer house Jeep conv. or off-road 4×4. It is an original Willys Jeep CJ-2A 4×4 it now has a back seat, with full bucket seat interior, electric wipers, 3 speed manual transmission many great upgrades and so much more.”

An olds V6? It’s so uncommon, that I had to look up the engine to learn more about it. According to Wikipedia, a version of the Buick 231 or 3800L was used between 1975-1980 in the Starfire GT. The only difference I can see is that the alternator is on the driver’s side rather than the passenger side. I’m not sure where the powersteering pump is located.

“Nice running flat fender Willys CJ2A. Olds V6 w/recent valve job. Headers. Stock transfer and trans. P/S, manual brakes. New battery and alternator. 12 volt conversion. Rebuilt carb, master cyl. All new brakes. Tires are fair, with matching new spare (not shown). High lift jack. Roll cage. Soft top with doors. (not shown). Gas tank relocated under rear deck. Stock tank removed but included. Tow bar. Oversized radiator. Warn winch included but not mounted. (Had been mounted so all holes are there). Old AM/FM/Cassette, No Speakers mounted. Old CB. 408-988-0668 M-F. 8:00-4:30”

The seller has added some additional images.  For $950, I think this is worth a look.

No engine. This is a good restorable jeep. t90 tranny and dana 18 transfercase work. Nice aluminum wheels. throw in a buick v6 and drive it. some hundreds of dollers in newer suspension work. Hate to sell it, but need cash.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2250.

Looks like it needs some work.  The price will likely drop some.

“1946 Willys Jeep CJ2A, same owner since 1971, was a farm Jeep, stock motor/trans., not butchered – great project. Runs and drives good, needs wiring/lights,top,other work.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2800

Since it’s been trailered, maybe the running gear’s in good shape?

“46 Willys flat fender, Buick V6, turbo 400 trans, power steering, tilt wheel, needs some work BEST OFFER, also have extra jeep parts”

The jeep might not run, but if the top is as good as it looks and the winch works, then this is a good deal.

“All original, flat head 4cyl, twin stick transfer case, even the oil fill air filter. New fuel pump, rebuilt gas tank, newer soft top, newer carb. It doesn’t run now but it wouldn’t take much to get it there.”

It looks like a nice jeep.  If it is really a 1949 CJ-2A (rather than a CJ-3A), than it’s one of only 2182 produced that year.

Is this that barn find you were hoping to run across?  31 years in the barn — no mention if it stills runs.

“49 willys all original,it has been stored in our barn since 1987 and I need the space, priced accordingly, $2000.”

This jeep’s body looks pretty straight.  It looks like there is a muffler on the driver side, but none on the passenger side?

“I have a 1946 jeep willy’s. I bought it to restore and got too busy with work and family, I would like to sell it, great for hunting or wheeling. 231 Buick motor almost new top, runs great. fairly new tires power steering but needs new hose, has a new aluminum radiator has a few dents and dings. has aluminum fender well covers with rear seat attached.
