The frame horns suggest this is a CJ-2A chassis topped with a DJ-3A body and hardtop.

The front springs have been outboarded some and I imagine the rear springs have as well. Looks like it has been lengthened, too.

“1948 Willys Jeep CJ2A
Looking for that one special Jeep for the Sierra Nevada Rubicon Trail….THIS IS IT!!
Professional frame off restoration. V6 Vortex Engine, Showing 3800 miles after frame off.
Hydraulic Winch, Power Steering, Dynatrac Axles & Rear End, 4 wheel disk brakes
Transfer Case & Transmission Upgrades, Air lockers Front & Rear, Tilt Steering
Professional Row Bar, 33 12 x 15 Pro Comp Tires, On Board Air, No rust, professional paint job, new nuts and bolts.
Survived the Sierra Nevada Rubicon trail. Have owned for 3 years and it’s been parked in my garage. The jeep deserves to be driven and not just sit. It’s over the top!”
This might be a late 1948, or early 1949 CJ-2A, as it has the current CJ-2A ignition hole on the dash, but lacks frame horns (possibly they were removed). You’ll note in the video that the oil filter was moved to the fender using the stock mount, which seems to work pretty well.

“Runs and drives. Has alot of new parts already installed.”
Unclear how much value is here. Based on the grille, this is likely a late ’46 or early ’47.

“Up for sale a complete 4WD Willys Jeep without engine or title. Year unknown, but it is a 2A. Use it as parts or put an engine in it and drive it. Previous owner or owners put a 6-cylinder engine in it, fire wall is cut up. Great is you want to put a Chevy small block, now it has clearance for the distributor. Has all 4 original 16″ wheel, has the front seat frame (needs cousins). the 3 speed T90 and the Dana 18 transfer case is there. Like I said, complete less engine and title.
Perfect summer project, or a father son project. These Willys jeeps stopped production darn near 70 years ago. They don’t make them anymore, so maybe you should take this one home.”
Looks like a good price.

“For sale: 1947 CJ2a. Here is everything I know about this Jeep. I bought it a year ago for hunting. I packed out deer and antelope with it, but the area where I hunt elk is a roadless area and vehicles are not allowed. I need something I can use to carry out an elk so I am selling the Jeep to buy a pack horse, otherwise I’d love to keep it. The guy I bought it from in Gillette, WY. bought it at auction, so I don’t have a lot of historical info or receipts. It runs like a top, started on the third try after storing it in a barn for 8 months. It clearly has a replacement metal body. Original type engine and running gear. I put brand new tires on it last fall and maybe have 500 miles on them. I put a new carburetor on last summer, new one works great. I just drove it for half An hour in and out of 4wd – terrific! As far as problems – it needs some electrical work – starts without a key, headlights work but taillights don’t. Oil, electrical and gas gauge works, temps, speedo/odometer don’t. There is no parking brake. It has original (weak) brakes. Paint has chipped off on hood and tailgate. Price: $6,000. I’d prefer to have you pick it up but I can deliver it if not too distant, or we can arrange delivery in some way. I am in Dubois, WY.”
It’s got a few mods, but still may. be worth a look.

“‘m finally selling my Willys jeep. It has a clean Colorado title. It is a CJ2A that has been converted to a 12 volt system and it starts right up and runs great. Everything works on it including the horn, wipers, guages, and lights. According to the Title, it is a 1946, but many things are not of that year. Many parts have been repaired or replaced. It has a new radiator, carburator, wiper motor, sun top from a M38, tie rod ends, steering stablizer, Gas tank, brakes, head gasket, rear floor mat, and windshield frame with glass. The overall body is in good shape with small rust under the passenger side, and some dings and cracks in the paint. It also has a small glovebox.
If you are a purest, this is not the jeep for you, but if you want one to play around in the hills, this is it. Also comes with Grill guard and tow bar.”
This project includes a Porter & Reed hardtop.

“I’ve owned this 1948 Willys CJ2a since 2009 and have thoroughly enjoyed driving and working on it, but am in a different stage of life and now it’s time to let someone else have some adventures with it.
Highlights:
• Frame-off restoration in 2010. Sandblasted and coated the frame, replaced leaf springs (NOS) and shackles, shocks, overdrive, electrical harness, seat cushions and canvas covers. Engine and transmission were solid when I bought it. Total mileage unknown, I’ve put about 10k on it.
• Body is original steel tub as far as I know. It has a few dings and small ares of corrosion. Original Luzon red re-painted in 2010.
• 134 ci. flathead “Go-Devil” engine with Solex carburetor and electric fuel pump, 3 speed T-90 manual (6 forward speeds with overdrive split), 4WD of course :).
• I have a soft top and all the bows for it. I’ve been told it is an older aftermarket “Sunbrella” top but I’m not 100% sure. It keeps wind and shade off you, but is a little tired and is not waterproof.
• I’ll also include a timing light, dwell meter, mechanical fuel pump, and some other spare parts and accessories.
My goal for this Jeep was never for it to be a show vehicle, just something that looked nice and drove like the original. It runs and drives well; it’s a hoot around town and even more fun up in the mountains”
Tom shared this solid looking 2A. Is there a bolt missing on the front lugs?

“‘47 2A. Runs and drives well. Exhaust leak somewhere and has typical drips but other than that very solid. I have a passenger under seat storage container, hardtop and full doors with glass, Jerry can and holder (unmounted) and heater. 8000lb winch works well. Growing young family and unfortunately not toddler friendly. My loss is your gain. Asking $10,500. Southern Maine”

“Selling my Willys CJ2A. It has a clean Colorado title that says it’s a 46, but many things are different and new. It has a new 3A windshield with glass, an M38 sun top, glove box, and is 12 volt. Everything works including wipers, horn and lights. It has a new rear floor mat, radiator, carburetor, brakes and lines, head gasket, tie rod ends, and steering stabilizer.
