“1948 Willys Overland CJ2A “Lefty” Currently not running – but has new tires, new gas tank, new battery. We have new points, coil, plugs, wires, etc also. Clean and correct title. Radio, heater, & turn signals. This is a very clean and straight 2 owner jeep barn find. Great candidate for a full restoration or mod.

It is one of what is known as a “Lefty”, one of a short handful of CJ2A jeeps built in 1948 that had the spare tire carrier on driver side for legal reasons. While its a small feature, its a rare thing to find one of these jeeps. Serial# confirms this to be true lefty. An ATV/Side-by-sides sell new for double this price, and this is road legal. ATV’s are not. You could buy it as is, have a shop fix it up, and have something WAY cooler than an ATV, that will do anything they can and more. Original drive train, it’s previous owner was a meticulous maintenance person, and after his passing, it sat for 30 years. Still 6 volt. Top is VERY well fitted. Dog not included”

Meyer Hardtop CJ-5 Carleton, MI **Sold**

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

UPDATE: **Sold** was $500.

Jeremy provided this photo to show the top installed on the jeep. Because this is a post 1975 hardtop, it likely won’t fit a 1975 or earlier CJ-5 due to the angle and width of the windshield.

This is a project vehicle that is in good condition for being 65 years old.”
