UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2200.
Looks like there is value here. This project includes another tub. This appears to have a unique hardtop, one I don’t think I’ve documented previously.
“Jeep CJ5 Levi’s Renegade project. Sound 6 cyl motor ran good when parked 1 year ago. comes with extra tub (rust free), hard top, doors, rear rack, replacement seats, and bumper. $2200 obo. need it gone”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $5500. IT appears the hardtop is no longer included with the sale.
(10/30/2020) Seller listed this as an “M606 CJ3B”, but I don’t see any M-606 here.

This photo and caption out of the February 11, 1946, issue of the Herald-Journal (Logan, Utah), shows the press photo that was for sale on eBay back in 2013.
==============================
Originally Published September 18, 2013: According to the attached information, these jeeps were winterized with left over Japanese transport plane materials.
This 1946 photo was also available in 2013. It too was taken at a Japanese airbase, but it’s unclear to me if it is the Showa airbase or not.
=========================
This press photo was taken in 1946 in Showa as well.
“This is an original press photo. Instead of manufacturing cargo planes for Japanese use, this assembly line is making US Jeeps fit for winter use. Japanese stocks of aluminum, plexiglass, rivets, iron rods and fabric are being fitted to jeep use. Photo measures 9.25 x 7 inches. Photo is dated 2-6-1946.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $550.
All the glass is intact. The driver’s door may have some rust near the window.
“1955-1971 Jeep CJ-5 Willys Hardtop. This hardtop is made by Kelly and I believe the model is Bonanza III. The hard top does have some dents, rust and filler. Comes with the hinges for the doors. The top has all of the windows. It doesn’t include hardware to bolt the hard top pieces together.”
This seller has two items for sale:
Has rust and some glass looks broken.

“This is a 1947 cj2a which was used for the Colorado Highway to plow for many years. It still works great. Fuel tank and pump just being replaced.”

(05/10/2020) The jeep doesn’t run. May have a Porter & Reed Hardtop. It also has some kind of carrier(?) above the top.

“1947 Willy’s Jeep. I have owned this Jeep for numerous years and have too many projects to complete. The jeep has original equipment and it currently does not run. I have a second engine that works well with a transmission and transfer case that goes with the jeep. There is a new fuel system installed, as well as a new gas tank with a professionally rebuilt carburetor. I have receipts for many of the parts. It is currently licensed and titled. Mileage unknown”
Looks in great shape.

“Steel full cab for flat fender cj. Was on a mb with a cj3a windshield.”
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.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3200.
(08/31/2020) This appears to have a Worman Jee-Cab hardtop.
“Running and driving and very original cj2a. Getting harder to find these! Some rough edges but a great base to build into a classic head-turner or fun 4×4. Starts and runs and goes through the gears fine. Brakes need bled, but it will stop- eventually. Pto winch works. Body mostly very straight. Original seat bases there with some decent newer passenger van seats on them now. Fairly comfortable. Need bolted in. $3500 obo.”
UPDATE: Still Available.

“1952 Willy’s M-38 for sale. It has a 3 speed with a high-low transfer case and a flathead 4 engine. I’ve had it for about 3 years and haven’t driven it much. I actually used it to plow snow a few times. It’s in rough shape, but wouldn’t take too much to make it nice. Even when not running for over a year, it fires up right away. The engine needs some tuning, but I think it’d run well with some TLC.”
This Meyers-manufactured and privates labeled by Sears (and others) hardtop may be a good price. It does need glass on one door.

“Aluminum hard top currently on a Willys’ CJ-3b. Includes both doors (one needs glass replaced) and rear lift gate. I believe it is a Sears Aluminum Top from the 50’s. Need the room in the garage for kids stuff and other projects.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $750.
No obvious rust.
“Factory Hard Top and Hard Doors. 1974 CJ6 [SIX]

I don’t recognize this hardtop, but there’s quite a few rivets for a non-production top.
