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.

“Fully rebuilt motor and transmission new tires brakes canvas top and seats. Has been sandblasted and painted about 10 yrs ago.”

“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.”

“1948 Willys CJ-2A with a 1944 MBs body retrofit but with vintage parts such as grill, glovebox, lights, wind shield, seats,etc.

Very close as a complete MB clone. Has new top, straps, and seats. Many parts have been replaced including wiring and alternator to a 12v system, cables, gauges, shocks, and muffler. Includes tow bar. Engine runs fine with good compression psi: 135,120, 125, 130. Transmission has a new clutch.

I recently bought this Jeep from my uncle with title and Collector plate. He used in mostly to ride in
parades and show it at car shows with a military auto club. It has now been completely mechanically inspected and is in the process of professional auto work and I decided to start a restoration at my home under cover. Car is available to see while work is being completed.

Vin plate is missing so I have a special appointment set up with the State Patrol to have a reassigned vin number added to car frame and body. I will support with attendance if you want to conduct the inspection with State Patrol.

Car need three tires (one tire is new).

Several thousand dollars spend recently on new parts:
Replacing all new brakes lines and master cylinder, (new wheel cylinders are in place now)
Replacing front hub seals and all axles seals,
Replacing new emergency brake pads and rotational seals transfer case seals,
Replacing clutch and brake pedals and clutch and brake rotational shafts and brake arm.
Fuel line is new and replacing fuel gauge.
Replacing front axle bearings.
Replacing steering shaft and sleeve plus rebuilding steering box.
Bought 2 gallons of Army correct paint but do not have time to paint.
A few places have rust so I bought replacement panels and in process of replacing (but probably will not finish soon).

I do not need help selling or in a hurry. Selling for what I invested so far minus my time. Cash only and no trades. I plan to keep the Jeep if close to price is not met and continue restoration in the spring. Mechanical works should be completed soon.

I do not have time to finish the complete project thus reason for sale. Price reduction can be negotiated if you want the car as is and finish the work. Price listed is with most of stated work to be completed.

I will not reply to emails or texts, please call only. Please serious calls only and no low balls or scammers!”

Year? CJ-5 Gilroy, CA $5500

• CATEGORIES: CJ5 • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

This CJ-5 is listed as a 1958, but it has the KS 0-8 speedo along with reversed front springs. So, it is likely a 1956 model. It spent much of its life in the military.

“Posting our 1958 Cj-5 jeep for sale
Former Travis Air Force Base flight line jeep transferred to U.S. Army at some point in its life.

This jeep is an excellent farm vehicle and runs like a swiss watch. It has been recently converted to 12 volt and the F134 engine runs strong with good oil pressure and stays cool even lugging around on hot days.

The soft top doesn’t have any tears and is removable.
4×4 works good, and the manual transmission shifts well.
We have used this jeep on our farm for a while and it is time to let it go to a new home.
This jeep has the typical jeep quirks, and it obviously isn’t a brand new vehicle, so it will have its issues here and there.

Located in Gilroy, clean title in hand.

“1946 Willy’s MB-2A. Basically what we have here is a 1946 CJ2A that was completely modified to a Willy’s MB. The motor, transmission and chassis is CJ, the body and all accessories are MB. This was a 2018 frame up restoration, frame is solid, body and accessories are new. Runs and drives, everything works with the exception of speedometer and fuel gauge, however I have those new and ready to be installed. For a complete list of everything I did and for more photos, please email me or call, there’s simply too much to list. While I can be a *little* flexible, I know how much these are worth, I know how much money I have into it and I know how many of these are floating around out there so keep that in mind when you are looking at my price, no trades please, all accessories included, machine gun as well (it is not a real machine gun) thanks.”
