Not sure how much value is here.

Mike spotted this unusual build.

“1947 jeep willys with 350 engine dual transmission plus safari doors ready with 33 mountain wheels and sand tires for desert truly a California jeep plus racing wheels.”

UPDATE: Still Available.

(04/01/2021) Seller believes his great uncle used this CJ-2A in the war (WWII?). That obviously didn’t happen.

https://orangecounty.craigslist.org/cto/d/long-beach-1947-willys-jeep-cj2a-for/7298128759.html

“My family has an old army jeep, it’s an old relic that has been very hard for us to let go. It’s a 1947 Willys CJ-2a that’s been sitting in our garage for 30+ years. Was my great uncles who was in the war and actually used this jeep! I wish we had the funds and resources to get this amazing piece of history drivable but it’s not realistic right now. The body is intact and everything is original. It doesn’t run and needs a complete overhaul because of how long its been sitting in our garage.
Fortunately, there are a lot of manuals online on how to do it.

I would love to see this jeep find a home to someone who would take good care of it and someone who wouldn’t mind staying in contact with my family so we could see the process of it being restored. and possibly have a ride in it once it’s finished being restored :)”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $12,500.

(03/02/2021) Power Steering has been added.

UPDATE: SOLD. Was $1400.

Engine spins. I can’t make out the front hubs.

“1946 willys jeep 4×4 has motor, transmission, and transfer case. Motor is free. She is rough but is all there and I don’t think it would take much to get it running again. Don’t have time to mess with it. $1400 O.B.O or trades No title but can get one.”

(02/01/2021) This has a set of leaf springs in place of the front bumper.

“Nice running jeep with the 134 4 cyl that was gone through 13 years ago but only 5000 since, just tootle around the back roads. Has been in the same family since 1954.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $1700. This project has a serial number of 15947, but I’m not seeing any VEC details on the body. 

(02/09/2021) This CJ-2A has been disassembled.

https://seattle.craigslist.org/skc/pts/d/kent-1946-jeep-willys-cj2a/7305179733.html

“1946 CJ2A. I’ve torn the entire thing apart, repairs and sandblasted the chassis, began rebuilding the engine, and now we are moving and I can’t take it with. The plan was to completely restore it. Needs a fair amount of work and some parts.”

Definitely a bit rough.

“1948 Willys CJ2a rear 540 PTO. Starts and runs well brakes work well New seats it’s in retty decent condition giving its age. Frame is solid and all the lights work”

Seller listed a big price, but noted that it is just a placeholder. Given the column shift and lack of tool indents, I’d say this is likely a 3X,XXX serial number.
