“1946 cj2a. Good jeep. Runs drives well. Previous owner installed new original wiring harness. Very solid rust free”
Has some mods. This might have a new body.
“1946 Willys cj2a. Runs and drives. Title in my name. $8000 cash only no trades. If you’re reading this it’s still available”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15,000.
Seller does not want to ship. The jeep might need some wiring fixes.
“December 1944 delivery date willys MB. Fires up quick and easy, runs and drives great. All original body, frame, axles, engine, trans and transfer case. Data plates on glove box original and match frame tag.
There are some reproduction parts on this jeep like the black out light, carry handles, wheels, top bows, new a upholstery. Partial restoration done as accurate as possible for exterior looks.
Wiring has some issues PO hooked in a electric pump and it starts by dash button instead of floor button now, not sure if charging system is working. I would consider a new harness later and getting the missing air cleaner and fuel filter to make it more original.
There is absolutely no bondo or body work done and you can tell by being able to see the factory seam welds and little imperfections. There is some rust in floor boards that goes into the hat channels beneath. Common issue and better to have that than bad a repair job. Not willing to ship to another country or state.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $7700.
(12/01/2020) This is a non-script CJ-3B (no WILLYS stamps on the hood or tailgate).

The February 1957 issue of Science and Mechanics introduced readers to the FC-150 with this short article.
UPDATE: Mike shared some additional Canfield information, which I’ve added to this post.
1. Mike’s Canfield Wrecker Mailer Postcard. 8 x 9 Folded , 11 x 9 Unfolded. This is the outside back and front. Note the Overload Springs and Push-Plates (aka Push-Bumpers), which Canfield marketed for years (Koenig also had push plates/bumpers, but with slots for a winch).
This inner portion allowed recipients to resend the postcard back to Canfield for more information.
2. Canfield Wrecker Mailer Postcard from eBay. These images came from eBay and don’t show the whole card. From the eBay ad: “original Postcard, 8.5 x 5.5, Canfield Tow Truck Equipment.”
3. Additional Canfield information. Mike provided these bulleltins about how to sell the Canfield wrecker to prospects. These first two pages deal with incentives for Jeep dealers for installing Canfield wreckers.
This has a ventilating windshield, early speedo (sometimes called a ‘silver face’.. up to serial # 49248 for the 5s, 1257 for the 6s), a PTO and other parts. It has doors (Koenig?), but I don’t see a top in the pics.

“All original, has extra fenders,hood, and some type of pto box? Has sat for a few years but ran before parked.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $17,000.

UPDATE: Price $6000 (no price originally).
(09/24/2020) Seller wants to trade for street bike. No info about the jeep provided.
I was surprised to see this still had an L-head engine. Between the running engine and tires, there may be value here.

“Obo, everything original obviously besides wheels and tires, it also runs and drives. The steering column is not in place but I have it that’s the only thing wrong with it p.m. me for more info or anything”

“Original Ford built Willies Jeep. All bolts have the “F” on them. I don’t see a motor and trans with it, the owner may have one somewhere. In rough shape but still restorable. Listing for a friend: Price is negotiable. For details call owner.”
This photo of a couple jeep maneuvering through mud and over a series of logs was published in the October 14, 1944, issue of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
UPDATE: Here are three Western JEEP toy ads on eBay.
1. This ad appeared in the May 1946 issue of Toys and Novelties. It looks to be an early ad for the Western Jeep. I didn’t realize it was manufactured out of Seattle.
2. This ad appeared in the Playthings Magazine in September of 1946. It announced that the Western Jeep had proven too popular and was sold out. There was a kiddie ride called the Western Jeep that look like it used this style of jeep (see post below this one).
View all the information on eBay
3. This ad appeared most likely in a 1946 issue of Toys and Novelties. The seller of this ad is purposefully obscuring the date and magazine, so it isn’t clear whether when this ad was published.

4. This ad appears in a 1947 magazine, probably Toys and Novelties. It announced a new low price (though the price of the ad on eBay is anything but low):
I can’t tell if the floors have thick paint or a little bit of fiberglassing/body liner under the paint. Overall looks solid.
