UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was on eBay

“I went to great lengths to get this Jeep back to what it would have looked like after a few years in it’s original job.  The Jeep was painted it’s true color – Normandy Blue and the wheels are Sunset Red – more of an orange – which is their original color.  This Jeep towed planes and helicopters, plowed snow, and was a mobile airplane mechanics toolbox at the Akron – Canton airport.  In recognition of that, I left the big channel front bumper and the custom “towing tab” on the bumper.  I also instructed the body man to leave the dents in the bed – I wanted some of the patina ( I now wish I’d just had him fix the dents, I think)….”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $12,000

This looks nice enough, though the front springs seem to be sagging a bit.

“immaculate 1950 willys cj-3a jeep. mostly stock few parts added foor comfort and looks. around 800 miles on ground up rebuild. truly is gorgeous, i need it gone asap so $11,999 or an offer i cant refuse will take it home.. also interested in partial trade for some kinda 4 wheel drive truck or suv.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000

This is certainly a beautiful CJ-2A.  However, it’s not fully restored to original condition.  One of the obvious issues is the CJ-3A windshield it sports.

“Fully restored to original except for 12 Volt vice original 6 Volt system. $10,000 OBO. The Willys CJ2A was the first mass-produced Jeep intended for the civilian market, began production on July 17, 1945. Civilian Jeeps evolved from the model MB of World War Two fame.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4800.

“This is a really cool Willys! If you like theme vehicles, this is set up as a civil defense vehicle. Popular back in the sixties. It appears to be all original engine, drivetrain etc. Starts right up and runs good and shifts like it should through the gears.  It has like new tires, beauty rims, new battery and ignition switch, new shocks, a really nice tow bar for flat towing and it has lockout hubs so you don’t need to bring a trailer! All lights and turn signals work, including the red flashing emergency light on the fender. It has an ammo box between the seats where a radiation detector is stored. I don’t know if it works or not….”

UPDATE:  Back on eBay

(06/25/09) This is a nice looking, mostly restored (though not to an original state) CJ-2A.
