1946 CJ-2A Bountiful, Ut $3200 obo

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

This looks to be a nice baby blue CJ-2A.  Oddly, the lower part of the top slopes downward as it runs from the driver's door to the back of the jeep.  Maybe the top connectors slope down on the body, but that would be odd I would think.

"1946 Willys Jeep, CJ2A, with a 1969 V6. HEI ignition and oversized Commando brakes. New battery and extra axles included. Spare engine also included, disassembled but all machine work done. Jeep in great condition and in the same family for more than 35 years. Moving. Can’t take it with us. $3,200 OBO. Call 801-295-9464 or 801-520-8083 to come see it."

Huh? 17hp homemade jeep … $1200

I hope the 17hp fact is a mistake.  I can't believe someone's asking money for this thing …

"You are looking at a homemade willys jeep made out of very heavy steel plate and a toyota rearend, With a heavy duty transmission with hi/low forward and reverse. Even has a working winch and headlight and tail lights that work. It has a 17 hp twin Kohler engine. runs and drives but needs carb cleaned and belts tightened on clutch. asking 1200.00 OBO or will trade something of equal value."

Fiberglass Flatfender taken apart, Chicago eBay

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A, CJ-3A • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE:  The seller has reposted this on eBay with more pics.

This looks to be the same fiberglass body as my first jeep.  The seller is correct; this body is light — I used to move the body myself by crouching underneath it and picking it up on my back (my current body is somewhat heavier).  However, I disagree with the seller; this body makes a fine jeeping body.  But, if used for jeeping, tie a cage to the frame and use the cage to help support the body.

“1949 Willys CJ 2 A/B, I have one title with no vin plate, Two Straight solid frames, Light weight single wall fiberglass body tub (not my recommendation for serious off road use, good for a sand buggy), Overhead valve inline 4 cylinder engine (from a 3B or early CJ-5), 2 T 90 transmissions with transfer cases, 2 sets of stock willys axles, one of which has new brake shoes and hardware”

Builds — Tom’s new project

• CATEGORIES: CJ5 This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Tom, from Forks, Washington, has a new CJ-5 project he's purchased.  He had a question about the location of the vin plate on the body.  He thought it should be on the passenger side firewall, but that's where the battery holder is located.  Anyone know where the vin plate is on a 50s CJ-5?

Tom also has his two flatties for sale.  You can learn more about then here.

This jeep has been for sale for a while.  The owner was asking $5000 obo, but I think now will take something lower. Looks like a great little jeep.

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Update:  Price dropped to $2500 

The add says '45 Willys, but the body looks to be 46 or greater, so I'm calling it a 1946 CJ-2A.  It appears driver's side step isn't there, so likely some rust underneath.  Also, the ad says roll bar, but it looks to be a full cage.  Woodland is north of Portland.

This is a nicely modified CJ-2A called “Quick Change”.  The builder built a similar drive train to what I’m doing, except for using a 289 where I’m using a buick 3.8.  We even have the same rims.

“This is a jeep I picked up a while back. It has been trail riding since 1981 and has the little trail ride plates on the dash. It is a modded steel body with very little rust by some trail scars. Specs are:  1947CJ2a, Chevy 283 V8 (I was told this was a stroker…no way to prove it without dissasembly), Torker intake, Tall chevy aluminum valve covers, Edelbrock carb with the offroad needles and seats (works awesome off road)…..”

Builds — Craig Ellis’ M-38

• CATEGORIES: Builds, Features, M-38 This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

I don’t know whether Craig is finished with his jeep or not, but he certainly had some terrible rot to deal with.  I’ve linked to the ‘Golden Triangle Jeep Club’s’ bulletin board for this Build story.  Below is the pic of Craig’s M-38 body:

you could draw a line down the middle of the body and replace all of the driver’s side floor to be safe. i’m gonna avoid catalog bought floor panels and construct my own from 16 gauge sheetmetal along with new crossmembers. i got a pair of Wagoneer Dana 44s last weekend and am working on the suspension, which will be stock waggy leafs in the front and YJ leaves out back. I picked up a Chevy 4.3 V6 to use and can’t decide on which tranny to go with, but i’m thinking SM465 b/c Novak offers a really short adapter to the Dana 18 case….”

My Builds — all the engine parts home

• CATEGORIES: Biscuit This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

I picked up the last of the buick v6 engine parts yesterday and they are all home.  Lyle and Bob at Bob's Mechanical were great to deal with and very reasonably priced.  The last of the new bearings (crankshaft and rod bearings) and rings should arrive on Friday.  All the parts are clean and the cam bearings are in place, so it should be a pretty straight forward build (famous last words).  

Since I'll be gone most of next week in Seattle, I've decided to put the engine together the week after next and invite my children (ages 14, 12 & 10) to participate.  That should make the process more interesting!

1947 CJ-2A St Louis, Missouri eBay

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE:  Oops, forgot to include the link — thanks Mitch

There's a number of nice detail pictures that show some nice work.  Note the modern running gear (likely mid 70s CJ-5 running gear).  I can't say I'm a fan of the tranny/tc mount — it's a single bar that just waiting to be hit by a rock.  It most definitely needs a skid plate of some kind.  I think the body is fiberglass, but I"m not entirely sure.

"Motoexotica is proud to offer this 1947 Willy's CJ-A2 Jeep 4×4. This Jeep has a 3 speed automatic transmission with newer big 33 inch mud tires. This tough Jeep is ready to play in the mud or just go for a drive. It has power steering, power brakes and a working heater!

The motor is Buick 231 Cu In 3.8 liter V6. It is fun to drive with the GM 3 speed Turbo Automatic Transmission. The motor runs strong. It has a quadrajet 4-barrel carb with an aluminum Edelbrock air intake and a Jeep transfer case with a Dana 44 rear-end."
