“Decided to sell my 1946 Willys Jeep. This little jeep runs and drives like a 1946 willys jeep should. The only known issues the fuel filter plugs every once and a while. The gas tank needs to be rinsed out.Could also use a radiator cap I did order one but I am not sure when it will arrive. I only drive it a few miles now and then so it was just not a priority I guess. Shifts good in all gears 4×4 works great. Tires are old look to be original military tires? This jeep was converted to 12 volt and has a new battery. I just dont drive it so decided to pass it on to someone else. Very solid jeep for its age. There is just a minor spots on both sides below the doors. This is pretty common and the patch panels are super cheap. I will get some more pictures and add them tomorrow. Clear title in my name.. I can store this jeep for a few months as long as it is paid for in full with in 5 days of auctions end.”

1959 CJ-5 Schoharie, NY **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $600.

Given the half top and plow, this could be a good part-jeep purchase.

“1959 Jeep cj5, frame and body shot, good running gear, last ran 3 years ago, has 6 foot manual plow and pump, 1/2 cab, lots of good parts. If ad is up it is still available so don’t ask.”

1948 CJ-2A-Truck Priest River, ID **Status Unknown**

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

UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $4000.

This may be one of the custom CJ-2A trucks sold out of Spokane (or it is a truck chassis with modified 2A body). This might differ from the “CJ-2Ls”, which had extended bodies to match the longer frames. It would be interesting to compare this frame with the CJ-2L frame. The half-top could be a remodeled Worman full-top.

This bottom ad describes a long-wheel base jeep with half cab made of wood. It’s plausible a similar vehicle was made with a metal half cab.

“I take cash or PayPal. Firm on price. First with payment takes it. Located in Shipshewana, IN. 1959 Willys Jeep CJ5 with Auburn Jeep-A-Trench. AgriJeeps were a standard CJ with aftermarket farm equipment, making a dual-purpose vehicle.

This is one of very few operational trencher Jeeps left. I can send you a video of it trenching my backyard. This particular trencher is the latest, greatest version available for the Jeep. It sits inside the bed, rather than hanging off the back. It removes quite a bit of stress from the chassis and body. Hydraulic boom raise/lower and gear-driven chain. Has a new heavy duty clutch kit, fuel tank, fuel pump, lines. Tires all hold air. Runs and drives nice.

2 Circa 1970? Brochures From Switzerland

• CATEGORIES: Advertising & Brochures, Features, International • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Titled Geschlossener Jeep fur Sommer und Winter, these two brochures came from Switzerland. The majority of the images show configurations for the CJ-6, but a CJ-3A looking jeep is shown as is a CJ-5. You can see one brochure has “72” written on it, which *might* be a reference to 1972? Those seem like some nice configurations of well-built tops.

1946? CJ-2A? Bringhurst, IN $4250

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

UPDATE: Price dropped to $4250.

(03/12/2020) This shows that the DJ-3A windshield for the Koenig hardtop also will fit the Meyer CJ-5 hardtop (in this case it’s a CJ-5 half-top). To me this adds weight to my theory that the Koenig hardtop used on DJ-3As should fit CJ-5s. This jeep also has a DJ-3A body (cut side type) and grille, at the very least.

Don’t really know much about it other than what you can see in the pictures. Comes with a spare tire and the original snowchains. Only 17,094 original miles!

Don’t have the title, but I do have a bunch of old registration forms, as well as the Power of Attorney paperwork you would need to get a replacement title.

Two left tires are seized, other than that don’t know anything about it mechanically.”

Sears Deluxe Full and Half Tops McMurray, PA **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: Parts • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD**

This seller has a half and a full top for sale. He’s calling the white full top a Meyer hardtop, but it looks to be an aluminum Deluxe Sears top ($400). The other one is a sears half aluminum top ($325). Both of these tops appear in this vintage Sears ad from the CJ-3B page.

“Aluminum Willys jeep tops. These are 2A/3A tops. Both are in great shape. I decided to go another direction.

1. Meyers Industries full cab and doors. Glass is good in the top but it needs new glass for one of the doors. Rear hatch opens and handles are present. $325.00 sears-full-top-pa
2. Sears deluxe half cab and doors. It has been disassembled and stripped to bare aluminum. I have the hardware to put it back together. It has the side mirror, door handles, and working lock with keys. Windows are plexiglass and could use some cleanup but are usable. I do have the rear panel with window that’s not in the picture. It wasn’t needed to test fit the top. $400.00″

1952 Willys Jeep CJ3A runs great
Bought this jeep as a non-running project, it had been stored indoors for 23 years.
It now runs great and is in very good condition.
Compared to most classic jeeps this has minimal rust.
It has a few little dents and battle scars, and would look really sharp
with a new paint job, unfortunately I’m not good at body work.
As you can see it has been slightly modified. The original L-head engine was replaced many years ago with a good F-head jeep engine. This gives you a little more horsepower. Because the F-head sits higher in the engine bay a hole was cut in the hood to make room for the carburetor.
