“This is my dad’s 1947 Willy’s CJ2A. He put an original military grill on it, bolted on simulated body armor, and installed military wheels and a pedestal mount for a completely fake, but very realistic all steel 1917 machine gun model (not included unless you buy the 1917 also). He used this jeep for WW2 reenactments, mainly in the 1980s and early 1990s. He recently passed and we are selling it. It was last driving in 2018 when it was parked and does not currently run.

Frame is good needs body work. I assume the purchaser will unbolt and remove the fake armor (wood) and restore it. I will include the original 7 slot grill and headlight assembly and the original tailgate. I will also include the original passenger seat, which will need to be redone. There is no title and my dad has owned this jeep since the early 1970s. It was always garaged. $3200 or best offer. Yes, the 1917 reproduction model is available. It is a model, it is not real, nor does it function in any way. It’s a dummy.”

“Restored 1946 Willys CJ2A, cloned to look like a WWII MB Jeep
Runs and drives as it should and passed MA inspection.
Lots of fun to drive , everyone will waive and salute, great for parades.
Sold as is seen in the photos , there is no top for this jeep.
The Jeep is stored inside with climate control on a trickle charger.
These old jeeps are not meant for highway speeds and you can expect 45 MPH
I will help with transportation arrangements and loading if needed.”

1948 CJ-2A Groton, NH Barn Finds Auction

Bill shared this militarized 2A for auction.

https://barnfinds.com/bf-auction-1948-willys-cj-2a

“A previous owner wished to pay a fitting tribute to his uncle, converting this 1948 Willys CJ-2A into a military-style vehicle for parades and displays. It served nobly in that role and has done so intermittently since the current owner purchased it in 2016. However, all good things must end. The owner no longer has the time to devote to this classic, which has seen little recent use. Therefore, he has listed the Willys exclusively with us as a Barn Finds Auction.”

John shared this militarized CJ-5. Though not restored to original, it looks like this was a nut and bolt rebuild at some point. It seems worth a look given the price.

“1948 Willys CJ2A for sale. It was restored in the late 1980’s by my father. It has an olive drab paint finish, as well as olive drab canvas upholstery on the seat cushions and backs. My father converted the electrical system from 6 volt to 8 volt. The body tub is custom fabricated from steel. The grill and fenders are original. The hood, windshield frame, and tailgate are all original with the embossed Willy’s name. After the restoration, it was only driven in local parades, car shows and local events. We have stored the jeep under a cloth cover, inside a building since my father passed in 2004. We have recently replaced sparkplugs, points, condenser, fan belt, fuel pump and battery. The fuel tank has been professionally cleaned and is in excellent condition. The carburetor has been rebuilt. It has fresh oil and coolant.”

This was restored several decades ago. Not a perfect respiration, but appears solid.
