UPDATE:  This is back on eBay

(09/02/2012) This has a replacement body.  It looks like a nice rig.

“Very Nice 1947 Willys cj2a. I did a full body restoration in 2004, no corners were cut. The body is solid steel, built in the 70’s after market, The person that had it was going to build a Jeep but never got around to it, it sat in his building for over 30 years, when I bought it, it was solid, no rust and still in factory primer. I striped it down to bare metal, nothing but the best primers and sealers were used under the base coat clear coat paint. PPG.

The engine had just been rebuilt right before I bought it and it runs great, I did tear it down and put in a new rear main seal, its like new inside.

The transmission and transfer case are in perfect running order, both rear ends are in perfect running order.

The breaks are orig drum breaks and work good, it may need a new break light switch from just sitting in the garage so much.

It has brand new modern wiring with a painless wiring harness and has been converted to a 12 volt system. New gauges. New full roll cage.

It has new bucket seats with a 5 point seat belt harness on each seat. The wheels and tires are new. The steering wheel is new.

I have only put 1902 miles on this Jeep since the restoration and it has only been caught in the rain one time. No top, no wipers, only driven on sunny days.

I have put over 1000 manual labor hours into the restoration, a real labor of Love!!!!! Its like New!!!!

If you have questions you can call me, PH# 330-257-3933 I will be camping over Labor Day weekend and may be out of cell service, just leave me a message and I will call you right back…… Thanks!!!”
