UPDATE:  With the help of eWillys, Bill sold his jeep.  I’ll keep this for historical purposes.

Bill contacted me about selling this jeep he and his grandson have worked on for a few years. I suspect this good looking jeep was simply a bonus to that special time they enjoyed together.

Bill writes, “I have a 1948 Jeep cj2a that I bought in Black Mountain, NC. That was 4 years ago. I have done as much as I can to it.   It runs great and we had fun working on it. My grandson Josh and I hung out together for quite a long time and that was fun. ”

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was $2500

“1949 Willys Jeep in middle of restoration.

The body doesn’t look like a VEC CJ-2A body.

It needs an engine.

“Good title! All there except motor. I have a Buick V6 that I would sell separately if interested.”

I can’t tell much from the pics.

“This is a 1952 Willys Jeep Cj3a. It has the stock 4cyl engine, 3spd trans, dana 44 rear with 11” brakes. The jeep is mostly stock and very clean. This is the good one you are looking for.”

No doubt this is a project.

“The jeep has a 304 motor and it runs good. It is on a scout chassis…I have an extra rear axle and extra front axle with it. I also have for sale a hard top and additional parts for the jeep pictures below). Please serious inquiries only, I have this much invested in it…336-364-4579”

This is Nursey.  She has a few bumps and rough spots, but might make a nice little run about jeep.

“This little gem has been in our family for about 30 years.  Originally bought by my father who had a private hunting ranch in the Northern Colorado mountains.  He purchased it to help climb off road and retrieve their game. He was able to drive it everywhere, no matter what the terrain.  Because it is white, it acquired the nickname of “Nursey” because it always turned out to be just what the doctor ordered.  It proved itself as a real lifesaver over and over. My father became ill and had to move out of Colorado due to the high altitude.  He had to sell his ranch and all the toys, that is when I decided I wanted to buy it because I had recently re-located to the NE Plains of Colorado, and I never had as much fun as I had when I was chasing cows in the pasture with it. My husband and I have owned it since 1996. Now it needs restoration. We had the engine completely rebuilt and it only has about 500 miles on it.  It has the original engine and drivetrain, and everything works.  Runs like a watch, except the motor needs a new water pump…..”

Here’s a flattie with some very large tires.

“1951 flatfender (grey, white, black forest camo paint), 231 buick V6 ( just installed, runs great), 4 speed tranny, 38″ super swampers (95% tread), On-board air: front bumper is an air tank w/ quick disconect to run air tools, locker front and back (not sure what kind, I just know from wheeling it it is locked up), CB & CD radio, Dual fuel tanks, 1978 tandem axle trailer (doesn’t look great, but trailer is very solid. I use it every year to haul jeep, 1 four-wheeler, and 1 motorcycle), I would like to sell these together, but I will sell jeep only (make offer). If I sell the trailer I can’t haul jeep.”

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was $4000

UPDATE 2:  I stopped to checked this jeep out on my way home this evening.  There are corner post holder holes (it’s too late for me to remember what the correct term is) on the rear corners, so I can’t help think the body is a CJ-2A.  Though not perfectly straight, the body appears rust free.  I saw no rust underneath along the hat channels either.  The Data Plate looks brand new.
