“1948 Willys 4×4, Flat head 4 cyl with manual trans… Complete minus seats.. No Title ***NOT RUNNING*** Trailer not for sale $500 FIRM 252-229-1596”
This rare Porter Reed looks dirty, but solid.
“Hardtop for willys jeep cj2a for sale.Have all doors good shape for age.$300.00,make offer,trade”
These CO-OPs look in great shape. It’s just the rims and tires for sale.
“I have a set of four Grip Spur tires and newer steel wheels. (E78-15lt) The tires still have the nipples on the threads. I bought a 47 Willy jeep and these where on it when I bought it. I have two other sets of tires and wheels and do not need these. The prior owner had just put them on prior to my buying the jeep. The front right tire has a little wear on the outside threads from the steering stop being set to deep and the tire was rubbing the thread. (see pictures) When they were on the jeep, they measured aprox. 31 inches tall. Real nice looking thread and very deep. I looked these up and they are a hard tire to find for jeeps. I have a set and you can own these. I will not drive around to just let people see these. They are what they are. The Jeep threads on the internet can do a better job as many have written how much they liked these tires. Rims are like brand new. Located in Chester Mass. 01011, map quest if you want. I do not answer emails and only take phone calls. If you email me, I won’t reply. I get way too many spam and scam emails to do that any more. Sorry. Price is $500 and I don’t need any trades, just cash. Thanks for looking, 413 six five seven 9 4 five zero
PS; I was also told they would fit other jeeps, like newer CJ’s and also Bronco. You need to know what else they will fit based and the lug pattern. Selling just like they are. I know they fit my Willys Jeep
They are like Super swampers, mud terrains all terrains etc.”

(11/06/2013) It needs some work, but the jeep itself looks solid.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This jeep was featured yesterday at Road & Track, because it is supposedly a one-owner jeep with only 35k miles. It’s being sold by an outfit that seems to specialize in auto sales out of the Boise area. Given they specialize in auto sales, and given it’s a one owner vehicle, I would think they’d get the VIN number at least close. Instead, they have a strange VIN of 8804255829, which means a person probably couldn’t track the history of the jeep if they wanted. It’s hard for me to believe there isn’t a VIN plate still on this jeep (if it truly is an unmolested, original jeep). After all, it looks like the original gusset is still there. I can’t help think I’ve seen this jeep before, especially the oddly shaped (bent) passenger side fender. Anyone else have thoughts?
Here’s an example of a CJ-3B the same seller tried to sell on ebay with “original matching numbers”, but with an incorrect VIN of 34501. That VIN (which is missing the prefix of 57348) would be for a 1957. You’ll note the speedometer is a post 55 unit as well. The same cutesy tools are attached to the sides like they did with the 2A below.”
Going out in a blaze of glory, Kevin’s wagon suffered some fatal damage last week on “Spirit Trail”. He writes:
Even at the time of death she looked gracious….apart of me is gone – it represented me… plus made me feel young. I have mourned now for three days and wait for the insurance adjuster to show up…I hate to give her up. I suspect a small fuel line leak, that I had been chasing because of smell…either the distributor or plug wire ignited the gas. The fact I was headed down hill only fed the fire with more gas. One fire ext. wasn’t enough….so carry two folks!
Well, here is part of me and who I was. It’s sad to say… she even looked great on fire…but very sad. I suspect a small fuel leak that we had smelled but hadn’t found and a short from the ditributor or right side plug wire. I’ve been in mourning for three days. I will not be replacing her.
Published in the April 26, 1945, issue of the IBT, this jeep earned a camel hump by successfully flying (in a plane) over the Burma hump. Ann’s grandfather was a Pilot who flew and died flying the hump during WWII.

How about his unique photo? A Bantam BRC-40 with some kind of shovel or bucket attachment! Allan Hetteen is operating the jeep while David Johnson and H.P. Borah watch.
Hugo spotted this recently published ad which shows a VW pulling a Willys Wagon out of the mud. I prefer to think of it as the Wagon winching the VW backwards 🙂
He writes, “It is an advertisement of a brand new VW Amarok pulling of an old Willys. Is it fair? We could say:” stuck but still running!” Plates seem to be from Chile, but the willys could be an argentinian Estanciera. Journal is from Uruguay.”

I would be easy to make fun of the use of ‘planes’ in the below text, but I make enough mistakes that I won’t cast any stones. However, I didn’t know there were plains in Lake Havasu. The year is clearly incorrect.
“Jeep Jeep! What a catch. Reel it in. 51 Willys from the planes of Lake Havasu and Wyoming. This very peppy classic Jeep was one of the first civilian Jeeps available in America. Fully restored to its original glory with a lift in the springs, stock Hurricane motor rebuilt and the L Head Flowmaster exhaust. Also comes with original hardtop. This Jeep has had no rust issues. Runs like a dream”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Steve’s got his rebuilt M-38 for sale. Check out the last picture on this post to see how this jeep looked when he started work on it. Well done!
“Take a look at this completely rebuilt beautiful 1951 Willys M38 Army Jeep. Serial # MC33376
This jeep was rescued from a gentleman in Virginia Beach, Virginia in 2012. It underwent a frame off rebuild. I’ve owned over thirty jeeps and have rebuilt/restored approx. 22 of them and have sold them successfully on e-Bay. This Jeep had been used heavily during it’s active life and was in desperate need of rebuild. (I’ve included two before pictures towards the bottom of the listing) The frame and drive train were complete but needed some repair work. The engine is a correct MC engine made by Willys of France in excellent shape – it runs great and is very powerful. I had to replace the tub with a reproduction tub, but most of the other components are original Willys. (i.e. fenders, hood, grill, windshield, seat frames). The jeep has its military components de-commissioned – i.e. water fording gear removed, and 24 volt converted to 12 volts, civilian WO carburetor .
Everything has been gone through on this jeep and everything has been sand blasted, cleaned, repainted, or replaced with new, NOS, or repro parts.
Chassis and Drive Train: four new leaf springs , new shackles, new shocks, new axle bumpers, frame stripped/blasted and painted, some components repaired (used some similar CJ3A parts) new front bumper, new u-joints, new clutch and bearing, new seals and bearings on tranny and transfer case which were drained and cleaned repainted, and all fluids and gaskets replaced, new e-brake pads, hardware, and cable, new engine/tranny mounts, new brakes including all lines and hoses, new master cylinder, four new wheel cylinders. New steering wheel, new rear bumperettes, authentic pintle hook. Five vintage 7.00×16 NDCC tires (they are older but in great shape)on blasted and painted 16” original rims.
UPDATE: Was $9999. **SOLD**
This comes with a trailer.
