“… Ok, it is its original red. It has a full cage. It has a 350 Chevy V8 swapped in with a 400 Turbo Automatic. The transfer case is 1 speed and the jeep is FT 4×4. It has “Emergency Drive” which locks the transfer case and makes it drive like a standard 4×4 instead of the FT style. It appears to have about a 3″ lift on it and is sitting on a damn-near brand new set of 31×12.50 R15 BFG Muds (the old style). For my rockcrawling needs, this guy is too big of a project to get it where I want it. For someone who loves Willys or wants a Jeep to make nice… this is a great platform to start. I’d like to get $3000 for it or do some trading….”

This has a bed extender.

1948 CJ-2A Fort Worth, TX **SOLD**
It’s not the prettiest thing.

1948 VEEP Tacoma, Wa For Trade
This doesn’t appear to be an M-38-like body, as I don’t see cutouts on the driver’s side. This is unusual.
“I have a 1948 willys (vw powered) aka veep. I am looking to trade it for a 71′ or earlier vw bus, bug, or ghia. the veep has vw bug suspension good working brakes and good tranny. it does not have a motor in it at this time it takes a standard vw aircooled bug engine. It had a motor in it through the fall and winter i just took it out last month. thats how i know the about the tranny and brakes and all the electrical good too, also has a good top no tears. the seats need some upholstery work which i could fix if we make a deal. so if you got something you want to trade contact me. I have a clear title in hand”
1965 CJ-3B Clarkston, Wa **Status Unknown**
UPDATE: Status unknown. The price had dropped to $2500. The seller included an overdrive with the cj3b.
The license plates suggest this jeep is from Colorado, though I don’t have any record of this being for sale recently. It looks pretty solid.
1965 CJ3B, all original with complete metal top and doors.74XXX miles. engine bad but have complete rebuilt engine included.minor rust for vintage.has warn overdrive…$2500 OBO….will take guns in trade.”
1954 CJ-3A? Independence, MO **SOLD**
It appears this is either a M-38 body or a replacement body. For $300 it looks like it has a variety of parts, including an almost full cage.
“it’s got a great body on it, very straight. I don’t have the title for it, but it’s a great jeep for parts or whatever you wanna do with it.”
1948 CJ-2A Plainfield, WI **SOLD**
“1948 willys jeep like new rubber runs and drivers good. Jeep has P.T.O. and soft top plow not included but could be if you want it. I have another set of rubber I could put on the jeep for 400.00 less”
Builds: Darryl’s 1943 GPW
As mentioned yesterday, here’s a quick look at the 1943 GPW Darryl rebuilt. He did some beautiful work (both in building and documenting the build). He also built a trailer (pics below as well). He lists his objective below:
“To create for my personal use and enjoyment, a fully-functional, factory new appearing and extremely accurate “representative” WWII jeep using a new reproduction tub on an original, all “F-script” Ford wartime-production drivetrain, while containing costs and allowing minor deviations (a Solex carburetor) from the original configuration for ease of maintenance, reliability and safety and to be driving it within 12 months of starting the project.”

1948 CJ-2A Warren, Mi $6000
The body has been placed onto a ’75 CJ frame, which means something had to be stretched (or the frame chopped) to make the body parts fixed. It appears the builder stretched the body at the point where the body normally meets the fenders. Meanwhile, it appears the hood was lengthened somehow (I can’t tell quite how).
“1948 Willy’s on a 1975 Jeep frame. 360 AMC V-8, lot’s of new parts & Brand new Best top. Run’s strong. Fred 586-822-8468”
1963 FC-170 Oakland County, Mi $1750
It looks like it has been in a barn. I can’t tell what the rust condition is.
“For sale or trade Barn find Parked in 1979 in a barn all orig w/new tires. Perfect for restoration”
1948 & 1949 CJ-2As Belleville, WI **SOLD**
I used to live in Madison and remember driving through the small town of Belleville. Given the lack of titles and the non-running condition, I suspect the price may drop.
“1948 and 1949 Willys CJ2A From Louisiana. Both are GREAT projects, not running, no titles, VERY SOLID!!!!! Most parts are here $2,000 takes both!”
1952 CJ-3A Wellington, NV **SOLD**
This looks like it’s been nicely restored.

1942 MB/GPW La Place, La eBay
It looks like it needs a good cleaning, but I think it will clean up well.
“This Willys jeep was commisioned to Fort Polk. It had a rebuild in 1985.
Owner died in 1989 and the jeep was stored in a barn until four months ago.
I acquired it in an estate sale. Everything was said to be original when I bought it from the sale. As seen in the photos it is dusty from all the years being stored. The jeep was licensed and driving in the late eighty’s and has a clear title. I have extr tires, rims, and other parts that go with it. Any questions please call Mike at (504)417-4535.”
1963 DJ-3A Surrey St. Louis, MO **SOLD**
UPDATE: Was $41,500. **SOLD**
This might be the same one that was for auction on eBay.
“This 1963 DJ-3 has been restored to better than new condition and is beyond perfect in every respect. It is powered by Jeeps rugged little 134 cubic inch inline four-cylinder engine with three-speed manual transmission. More importantly it is festively finished in Flaming Pink and White with a Pink and White striped surrey top and spare tire cover. It is cheeky cute cheerful and fabulously restored.”
1955 CJ-3A Primm Springs, Tn $1000
I don’t see any major issues with the body. I wonder if it will take much to get it running.
“350 chevy motor, not running, good body, $1000 or trade, what do you have … I am posting for my dad. The best way to get answers to your questions is to call the following number… 931-698-1732 cell. Also, I don’t have any more pics right now. (can get some more this week) ”

Dino Danieli’s ww2jeep’s website
Back in 2002, or thereabouts, Dino launched a website he calls the “GPW – MB – CJ 2A/3A/3B – MC/M38 Visual Reference site.” It’s got some really useful visual information, including a dataplate page that I used tonight while reviewing a jeep. Unfortunately, it appears to have been last updated in December of 2006.
One of the coolest images I came across was developed by Darryl of Darryl’s Garage (see below). Darryl appears to love restoring old vehicles. He also documents those restorations wells. Two restorations he has done include a 1943 GPW and a 1943 Bantam Trailer (both of which I’ll highlight tomorrow). These are excellent overviews.
So, the image that Darryl created is a beautifully done chart that follows the changes, on a monthly basis, to the GPW and MB bodies. Nice work Darryl! You can see what he did below (and you can find it on Dino’s site here):
1966 CJ-5 Graham, Wa **SOLD**
“1966 Jeep CJ-5 factory stock Buick V6 and headers. Stock running gear 3.73 diffs. Running gear is intact and not broken. No bondo. No rust holes. Has not been wrecked. No frame cracks.

The Wife Hates IT Post Falls, ID **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD ** Was $6000
It’s unusual …. but he loves it.
“Custom made buggy that will go anywhere. I have used it in Moab rocks, AZ desert rocks, Colorado mountains, CA sand dunes, etc. 370hp 360ci mopar engine professionally built … My wife hates this thing, I will hate to see it go. I am asking 6k, but am somewhat negotiable. I would consider some trades such as an equivalent value 4×4 quad or a rhino, ranger, or prowler. I would consider a clean jeep as well. I have this machine at a storage yard in Post Falls. If I have time I hope to take it to Moses Lake this weekend to check out the dunes that are supposedly over there. They don’t sound like much compared to what this beast has seen before.”
New in Box 134 Piston Rings Gallup, NM $30
I have no idea what these normally cost, but figured someone might be interesting in them.
“New in Box set of 4007-std Perfect Circle piston rings will fit the F and L head 4cyl 134 willys jeep engine will ship priority mail for this price contact me at larryd@cnetco.com”
Older Warn Winch Durango, Co $250
This is one of the least expensive winches I’ve come across through Craigslist. It looks like dad’s old winch, which never failed us in 15 years of use.
“Old school, would be awesome for restoration on vintage 4×4, this is the winch that later became the famous warn upright 8274. It worked great when removed from 1964 Jeep CJ5 a year ago. $250 or will consider trade for f*re arms, canoe, aluminum boat willys jeep parts etc. ”
1946 CJ-2A Grand Junction, CO **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
“This jeep sat for 15 years it has been converted to 12v. Put a battery in and some fresh gas fired right up
willing to bring halfway or all the way for a few more dollars. Email me or call me @ (970)230-0376 as you can see the paint aint the best was used for hunting 15 years ago and a half a** attempt at camo was done and the motor is a willys 4c but not the original for this year but still a willys motor”
1954 CJ-3B The Dalles, OR **SOLD**
This has some good upgrades (toploader 4 speed, Overdrive, tilt steering, 11″ brakes). I think this might be a pretty good price if the body is in good shape (which appears to be the case).
“For Sale; cj3b 2300 pinto engine, 4spd toploader transmission, warn overdrive, 11 in brakes, rancho suspension.”
1946 CJ-2A Ocean Shores, WA **SOLD**
The paint is a little rough.
“1946 Jeep. Stock Running gear. 76000 miles on odometer. Kayline top. L70-15 wide tires”
1981/71 VW Jeep Dublin, NC **SOLD**
This is the nicest ‘VEEP’ I’ve seen. The seller is incorrect about the body, as that’s obviously a M-38 body. As of this post the high bid is $3319.
“Up for auction is an extremely rare and fun Kit 2 wheel drive Veep. I absolutely love this little Jeep. It was built in 1981 using a 1971 Volkswagen Beetle donor car. The body is an all steel 1948 Willys CJ-2A. It was meticulously & professionally built by an aerospace engineer according to the information I have. The kit was designed by the Scamp corporation. You can tell this was done right in every way. Most people do not realize that it’s not an actualy Willys….”
