“This is a 1942 Ford Military Jeep with the original 4-cylinder flathead, chassis and drive train. It purrs like a kitten. I bought this Jeep in 1976 and have driven it a few miles each year. I used it for many years at the Reno Air Races and to haul about broadcast production equipment. It has a sturdy roll bar and nice wheels. Tires are…..well, about 35 years old! Hah! Same Big O Tires I put on when I bought it. I did convert it from 6V into a 12V system for easy starting. Yes, all the lights are 12V too. The engine has been well-maintained by a friend who once worked for the original Harrah’s Automobile Collection. That’s the reason the engine purrs like a kitten. Leaks? Nope. One of the few 1942’s that DOES NOT LEAK OIL between the bell-housing and the transmission. It has front hubs and caps for the rear axle if you feel like towing it like a wagon. The windshield folds forward which is a great way to tour through the countryside. It has high range and low range 4-wheel drive and it all works flawlessly. The seats are early-American UGLY. They fit my posterior just fine but thus far, I have not been ticketed by the fashion police for such truly dreadful-looking seat covers. The body is a Willys. Someone put the body on before I purchased it in 1976 so while the body says “Willys”, the title proudly reads 1942 Ford convertible. Yup, that’s the DMV. I keep it up on the trailer because I prefer to haul it to where I’m going. After all, this Jeep is older than I am by four years and I’ve always tried to baby it. The trailer can be purchased separately if you so desire. Not too many of these military jeeps left around the countryside – especially one that is so mechanically sound. You can drive him down the freeway at 55-60 all day long. Really turns some heads.”
UPDATE: Was a ‘Make Offer’. Status unkonwn.
The seller is listing this as a CJ-2A, but the body and fenders are military.
“Parting out this 1940s flat fender Willys CJ2. It has been in a fire so many of the parts are not useable, but many are just fine. Has original flathead engine. Please email for parts availability or make offer on whole jeep.”
“your choice. A brand new GPW OD green colored muffler system with install kit that has all bolts and mounts or original nice cond. $150.
6 Volt Delco Remy Generator that was on jeep before 12 V conversion. Think was off 55 Chevy originaly.
I have a heavy duty removable tow bar and bumper. The bumper may be original? The tow bar comes off easy with two bolts and so would the mount, but it ws welded and bolted and looks great with tow bar off and mount could be easily removed by just grinding weld and could still just use the bolts it has to tow. $295. or trade + cash for regular GPW bumper new or used.
I have a new never mounted Ford GPW or Willys 1941, 42, 43, 44, 45 WWII Army Jeep window mounted Carbine Rifle mount on OD green. $295.
call 408 744-9017

UPDATE; **SOLD** Was $1500.
