UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3800. This might be a modified M-38 split windshield.
(10/16/2014) It runs and drives.
“1947 split window willys jeep with hardtop and doors, motor was overhauled 3k miles ago, runs excellent, 4×4 works, brakes are a little weak but they work, overall excellent condition for its age.”
Paul forwarded these two photos of hardtops. Anyone know who manufactured these tops?
The first one is the same model of hardtop Paul’s dad had on his jeep. Paul notes, “This is an old metal hardtop which was used on the WW2 Jeeps. The windows in the doors are moved up and down by straps on the inside of the doors.”
This is another version of the same top. However, the doors on this top have been modified so the vertically sliding windows were replaced by fixed pieces of clear plexiglass. Rather a boxy design even compared to a Jeep.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9500
The trunk is an interesting feature.
“There is nothing more rugged and endearing than a Willys Jeep. . .especially one from the early 1950s with some patina. This 1953 Willys CJ3B is almost completely original and has acquired some battle scars over the years. Nothing serious. . .just enough to add some character. If you’re into off-roading or just want a beast to drive around, this Willys with a factory Hardtop, just may be the ticket for you. I know I have had a blast with it over the past 18 years cruising around my property high in the Colorado Rockies. This CJ3B is listed with a starting bid of $1,000 and a reserve well below what it is worth.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was listed at $500.
This has some old lettering. Unclear how much is left on the rest of the top. “Hi I’m selling my aluminum top it came on my jeep willys cj2a I’m not planning on plowing with it so I would like to either sell it or possible trade for a running drivetrain for a cj2a. The top is made by Sears and Roebuck it has a lift gate in the back needs windows for the doors or make some out of plexiglass. It has a very nice patina and a decal for old business in worchester mass this is a very cool unique piece. Won’t find to many like it. Even has the old style phone number on the door. I hate to get rid of it but could use the money or drivetrain to get my cj2a going”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3800.
I’d like a photo of the rear of this top. It sure looks unusual.
“1948 Willy’s for sale. Asking $3800 no trades. It has inline 4cylinder with 4×4. Needs a new battery and master cylinder.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $400.
It’s got a dent, but the “Civil Defense’ on the back is kind of cool. Looks like a Koenig hardtop. The Pueblo Civil Defense Agency was eliminated in the early 1990s.
“**RARE** Hardtop for a 1946 Jeep CJ2A. Still has Pueblo Civil Defense markings on it! This is a VERY RARE find, especially in this condition! Very straight and has only one area where it is dented, otherwise perfect..Still has 2 of the 3 original windows!! Call Joe for a chance to look/discuss. Located in Pueblo. Asking $400.00. Buyer responsible for picking up.”
No Updates until Tuesday morning. I hope everyone enjoyed Mother’s Day!

This has a government plate of some type. I’m guessing forest service, but maybe USCG? The seller provides so description.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
The seller is a little off on the details, but this is worth a look. Looks like a custom dash plate was added.

Jake’s jeep was handed down from his grandfather to his uncle and now to him. As you can see, it had undergone some unique modifications. Jake decided to refurbish the jeep, saving what he could of the modifications while returning other portions to a more stock look. I think it looks great. You can view higher resolution photos of this project here: http://imgur.com/a/r9dLW#0
Here’s Jake’s story:
Please as you read this take note of the doors, tub, tailgate, fenders, bumpers, windshield, cab, cab seat and maybe some other little things. I know the end product is not a STOCK cj2a but it looks good. I am trying to get info on who might have done this awesome metal work job 50+ years ago. Thanks for any info anyone can give me. 🙂
Okay, here is what I know about my great grandpa’s jeep. It is titled as a 1946 cj2a. Has the overhead valve f 134 engine in it. Had a column shift tranny but the side shifters have been welded so they cant move and a floor shifter was added. I was told he got the jeep in the 70s from a gas station in Michigan. He used it for 25 years to plow snow at a church. The plow that was used is shown in picture 1.
When he passed away my great uncle got the jeep and it sat in a barn for at least 10 years.—pictures 2-4a show this—.
We loaded the jeep up back on 2009 and that is when the project began. The jeep appears to have a custom body. Except the grill. We gt the jeep home and noticed it had heavy gauge steel. Everything is thicker then it should be except the grill.— thick fenders, body, doors and hood. They look to have been custom made by someone who knew what they where doing.
UPDATE: This runs and drives. Was $1650. Status Unknown.
“Runs and drives and ready to restore or make it what you want. Asking 1950.00 OBO
All original, 4cyl, PTO winch. Some surface rust on frame and running gear but still a very solid Jeep. CJ6 is a rare slightly longer version of a CJ5. Some floorboard rust mainly on passenger side and cancer spots on body. No trades.”
UPDATE: Status Unknown.
I think the top is my favorite part, though it is showing its age. The seat covers are unique, too.
“Selling this for my father since he is no longer able to drive. This was purchased from the military (Letterkenny Army Depot) in the late 1940s. It has 53,000 ORIGINAL MILES. Has now been started for 3-4 years. The photos were taken about 18 months ago. The tires are all flat but as far as the rest of the jeep goes, it pretty much looks like the photos. Call for more information and a history on the jeep.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3200

“The ‘CJ3A jeep runs great. Has the 4 cylinder F – Head engine. Interior is in OK shape. Minimal rust. No topper.”
The CJ5 also runs great. It also has the 4 cylinder F – Head engine. Interior needs some love. Topper needs glass replaced in a few windows. The blade is hydraulic and works great. Nice for cleaning snow. The winch is PTO driven and works nice as well.
Combo the two and save a few $’s.”

“Hi I’m selling a 1966 Willys Jeep by the Kaiser Jeep corp. It has 87,115 original miles, originally a barn find stored for over 15 years with the same tires when parked. It is still the original arena yellow but could use a paint job. Has some what of a rare Buick 225/3.7L V6 only offered from ’66 to ’71, it is known to be a very dauntless motor and it is.
T-90 4 speed transmission
Dana 18 transfer case
Dana 27 front end
And the famous Dana 44 rear end
The jeep runs and drives great considering it didn’t come out with power steering and the 4wd works great also. Has the lock in/lock out hubs. It does have a little rust behind the front tires but not a rust bucket. It would be a great hunting/farm rig or awesome to restore. It does have a bikini and a hard top. The only problem I know that it has is it will pop out of first gear I was told it’s a cheap fix though.
