1946 CJ-2A Evergreen, CO $7500

June 22, 2022 • CATEGORIES: CJ-2A • TAGS: Diesel.

This jeep is setup for a Kubota swap (engine included).

https://denver.craigslist.org/cto/d/golden-1946-willys/7498482515.html

“This is a project and is priced at half of what I have invested.
I have to abandon the project due to a pending move. All the drivetrain has been professionally rebuilt and upgraded. T90, Dana 18 X case, overdrive, both axles. Frame is straight and free from cracks. Has been set up for a Kubota 2.2 turbo diesel. Upgraded brakes, upgraded steering, new tires. Nothing is missing. I was on the home stretch with this and doing final assembly.
I have the manual for the conversion and hardware bagged and tagged. Also have manual for the Kubota diesel.
I’m not willing to part out- yet- but we’ll see once the move date gets closer. Clean title.”

2 CJ-2As Lena, IL $50,000

April 28, 2022 • CATEGORIES: CJ-2A • TAGS: Diesel, Nice, Stock.

Bill shared this Hemming’s ad for 2 CJ-2As, one with the Kubota swap. This combo is listed on Hemmings. Given the red jeep isn’t quite stock (front bumper has extra metal, it’s missing the front bow holder, there appear to be no tail lights, and the front parking lights are incorrect) and the black jeep is even less so (has even more mods), though has a new Diesel engine, the price seems a little aggressive.

https://www.hemmings.com/stories/2022/04/28/pair-of-1946-jeep-cj-2a-find-of-the-day-0422

“These 2 1946 Willy’s Jeep CJ-2’s are being offered as a package deal. The Red Jeep is a 2 owner vehicle, being in the seller’s family since 1953! It has been meticulously restored using all period correct parts, and only comes out for shows or parades. The Black Jeep is built for fun! Utilizing a Kubota Diesel out of a refer trailer (only 500 hours), along with a full swap kit and advice from our friends at Overland Diesel. Both are in amazing condition, and are available now! The owner would love to see them both stay together, but will entertain offers on either of them separately.More details below.”

Year? Jeepney Philippines $80,000 (Scam?)

February 24, 2021 • CATEGORIES: Other 4x4s • TAGS: Diesel, Jeepney.

UPDATE: Okay, it was listed in Alabama, but after some more research (thanks to Galen’s message) it is clear this should be listed in the Philippines. It may be a scam (with the scam the high price), but I can’t tell for sure …

I assume the seller is kidding when he writes “high performance machine”? I imagine the price is a placeholder?

April 20, 2019 • CATEGORIES: Advertising & Brochures, Features • TAGS: Diesel.

This just sold on eBay for $31.00. It was listed as a 1955 brochure, but given it includes the CJ-6, it seems more likely it was 1956 or later.

December 29, 2018 • CATEGORIES: Willys Trucks • TAGS: Diesel.

TJ shared this truck with a 1982 2.3 liter Peugot engine in it and featured on Barn Finds a couple days ago. It lacks four wheel drive due to non-matching RP ratios in the front and back.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

Greg alerted me to this project that runs. It’s got Overland Diesel’s Kubota swap kit.

“Dad was a military vehicle enthusiast, collector, and master restorer for nearly 50 years. This is a frame off restoration. This restoration is particularly unique as this jeep was converted from gas to a turbo diesel. This 1953 Willys was the last project he took on before exiting this world last year.

This jeep is 90% complete with fresh new paint, new body, new tires, new windshield glass, new seats, and more. Jeep starts, runs, stops, and looks great! The new owner can enjoy the satisfaction of performing the final finishing touches such as wiring, emergency brake cable, exhaust system/muffler.
