1949 CJ-2A Skiatook, Ok $5000
UPDATE: Price dropped to $5000
(01/12/10) This CJ-2A has a few interesting features. One is the spare tire holder, which uses a strategy I’m considering for my build. Also, this jeep runs the treadwright retread tires.
“1949 CJ2A – Excellent (not perfect) condition. Has been redone from the ground up. A must see. Starts, runs, steers, brakes. Many features including a Warn overdrive, Tulsa Ramsey winch (electric), Saginaw steering, 12 volt electric system with alternator and modern lights. I have used it – it is not a garage decoration. Engine was torn down, did not need rebuilt/bored…and was filled with new parts. Transmission and Transfer case have been rebuilt. Has a dual master cylinder. Parking brake works.”

Ok, I can’t resist … something’s fishy about this FC :-). Actually, it looks in good, unrestored condition. The paint job is certainly one-of-a-kind.
“This is one great little Jeep! I bought this on Ebay almost 3 years ago and it has no doubt been my favorite out of the 30+ Jeeps that I have owned in the past several years. It has the stock drivetrain, 134ci F-head 4 cylinder, t-90 3 speed, dana spicer model 18 transfer case and dana axles. The motor runs good no knocking, ticking or smoke. Original 6 volt system. 4 wheel drive works fine: high and low and front locking hubs. It has a warn winch with a good controller that was rigged to a battery and solenoid in the bed but I have never tried to operate it and the battery has been removed. It has a heavy duty custom front bumper and the rear bumper is a custom tube air tank with a guage and air hose hook up to fill your tires, beach toys or run tools. The tailgate opens and closes fine, windows go up and down and the doors shut very tightly. There are no rattles or loose parts on this Jeep, it is solid. The floorboards look like they have been patched with metal and there is a layer of outdoor carpet for insulation and rubber flooring over that. The heater works, horn works and all guages work. The seats are black vinyl, firm and in great shape except for a small hole in the back of the passenger seat. The inside floor of the bed is flakey around the bottom edges but there is no rust through anywhere on this Jeep. The frame of course has surface rust and maybe some pitting I guess you would say but is still very solid. The rear cab corners have had new metal replaced on them but it is a very solid repair as well. This is the first year these were made and it has the narrow track axles which I think make it look even more unique….”

This sounds like a good price on a CJ with new tires and brakes. There’s a couple things that puzzle me. The reversed springs in the front and the M-38a1 dash would suggest, well, a M-38a1; However, the serial number suggests a CJ-5.
“64 CJ Willys jeep. Runs and drives great, New brakes and tires this winter. Not much has been done with this jeep as I have no time. Job transfer is forcing the sale, We dive this jeep about three times a month and almost everytime it snows in the winter..”

1956 CJ-5 La Grande, OR **SOLD**
February 17, 2010 • CATEGORIES: CJ5 This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500
“I am forced into selling my 1956 Willy’s Jeep. It is in pretty good condition for it’s age. It has a nice vinyl top and a new backseat. It has one very small patch of rust on the rear tailgate. Due to an accident that I had and being out of town for work, we haven’t been able to use it for awhile but last time we used it, it ran very well. Right now it won’t start and we believe it is a bad starter. We just haven’t had time to find out. We use it on the farm and in the mountains. A really fun 4 wheeler and hunting rig. We have dropped the asking price by a considerable amount because of the starter. It has a winch on the front and also a tow bar. It has fancier wheels than are shown in these pictures and larger tires. The tires are in fairly good condition.
Whoever had it before we did, cut the front fenders to put huge tires on it. We removed the tires and put a more reasonable size on it but we never got the fenders replaced. We put fender flares on it, which look okay. It does have bigger tires than are shown in the pictures and nicer wheels. If you are interested, I will take current pictures with the other wheels and tires. It’s just been such crummy weather that I didn’t think I could get a good picture. These pictures are only a year or so old.”

This looks clean and solid. I don’t review many of these (they don’t usually pop up in my searches), but it looks like at least a decent deal. I was thinking about getting my son one of these for his 16th birthday. It would be something with 4wd (good for the salt lake area) that he could use in winter and use to explore the desert.

And now for a Special Comment …
February 16, 2010 • CATEGORIES: News This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.
A frustrated reader named ‘john doe’ emailed me tonight, leaving me an email with no return address. ‘John’ was frustrated because many of the links related to vehicles for sale are no longer valid. ‘John’s’ frustration with this issue isn’t unreasonable; however, I keep the content for my purposes and for historical purposes (sometimes comments are attached to them for example).
To better answer ‘John’, and to remind readers, here is what I put in the FAQ section:
Craigslist Ads expire at different rates depending on where the ad is located. In many cases, Ads are repeated. In some cases, they aren’t re-listed even though the jeep remains for sale. So, I always err on the side of ‘for sale’ unless contacted by someone or unless the ad is deleted by the author.
The overall goal is to get a sense of how these old flat fenders are priced so that both buyers and sellers have a better sense of their local and national market.
Finally, in some cases these jeeps provided a teaching tool to show others something unique or unusual about the jeep.
So, to get the most out of this site, you are best off reviewing it every day or every other day to see what’s been added.
In addition, if you are looking for a particular jeep in a particular area and the search tool isn’t helping, just contact me (d@ewillys.com) and I’ll be happy to help you.
What I won’t be doing is deleting old content simply because it is old, though I do delete various posts when I think they no longer meets my needs.
What I would be willing to do is pay someone to build a better search tool so that posts can be searched by dates. However, to do that I’d have to raise some money from readers, as I don’t have the experience to build that plugin. If there’s an interest in this feature, and thus an interest in having me add a donation button to pay programmers to improve the site, then I’m open to that option.
Thanks,
