1947 CJ-2A Fullerton, CA $2700

October 18, 2019 • CATEGORIES: CJ-2A, Unusual • TAGS: Hardtop, Odd Body.

UPDATE: This appeared sold, but has returned to Craigslist. Price dropped to $2700. This was previously listed in Irvine.

(09/16/2019) From the pics, it looks like there was some good work done on this.

“Very cool Willy’s Jeep all original drivetrain does not run. It looks like the cowl and windshield were grafted from a Willy’s wagon, and the steel cab is all one piece. Probably not a prototype vehicle or a relative to the CJ4, but a cool “missing link” CJ2a built with awesome craftsmanship 40+ years ago. Possibly a non-US made Jeep wagonette. Suicide doors latch. Great patina. This will be the coolest Jeep at Easter Jeep safari.”

1946 CJ-2A Lefty? Inchelium, WA $6900

October 17, 2019 • CATEGORIES: CJ-2A • TAGS: Hardtop, Nice, Stock.

This has a driver’s side mounted spare, so might be a lefty body, but the grille is early. It looks like it has a sears top, not a “homemade cab”.

(09/18/2019) Desi is helping his friend sell this hardtop. Contact the seller at 360 607 9474 (no text please). Leave a message and the seller will call you back.

“I believe it is an arctic top, maybe someone out there can educate me, It
came off my M38 . Glass for one side is badly cracked & there is no windshield glass, have an extra windshield frame that will go with it. (also with bad glass) Has one small tear (see picture) in back right corner of roof, previous owner
skimmed the whole top with some kind of metal filler that has failed and
cracked all over the place, it will all need to be removed (more than I want
to do).”

“1953 Willys Jeep CJ-3B $3000 obo This Jeep is in pretty good shape and mostly original for its age. The Good: Mostly original, except for the Solex carb and screw on oil filter; these are both improvements unless you’re after a nut and bolt restoration, and it would be easy to go back to stock if you want. Steel hardtop. Starts easily and runs and drives well. Body is in good condition for the age. The Bad: Brakes are adequate but not excellent. Some rust, the worst of it is in the passenger floorboard. Wiring is sketchy at best. The Ugly: It’s a CJ-3B. Some people love them, most think they’re hideous. I like it, but I guess I’m in the minority. In any case, I have too many projects and I don’t think I’ll ever get to this one”

M-151 Hardtop Sanford, NC $150

October 4, 2019 • CATEGORIES: Parts • TAGS: Hardtop.

UPDATE: It appears to be an M-151 hardtop.

Here’s an odd hardtop. The strange part is the odd inlet (fuel inlet of some kind?) on the passenger door at a place that would be incorrect for a jeep.

1958 CJ-6 Lyons, CO $6950

UPDATE: Still Available? A note suggests a sale is pending.

This CJ-6 has the King Seeley 0-8 speedo with the broken pointer (not uncommon to see them broken). I’m surprised to see that speedo in a model as late as 1958, so it wouldn’t surprise me if this was actually an early 1957 model sold as a 1958.
