UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15,000.

(10/19/2017) Looks like it is a nice restore.

“For sale in Twin Falls, Idaho. Just finished restoring this 1953 Willys CJ 3A Jeep. Frame off. Rebuilt engine, including new pistons, new crank, new fuel pump. All new wiring. Converted to 12 volt. Body sand blasted to bare metal, then primed and painted. Gone through from front to back! New tires, new upholstry, looks good! Drives good. Original odometer shows just over 11,578 miles. Too much work to list here. ”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $11,500.

“Mid-year 1947, CJ2A for sale, mostly original components, in good condition, runs and drives well, 4WD works, stays in all gears, not fully restored but well maintained and cleaned up for sale. This Willys jeep has a lot of powder coated piece parts, to include all five wheels, bumpers/cross members, front grille, tailgate, windshield frame, driver and passenger seat frames, passenger side tool box, headlight cans and headlight rings, mirrors, windshield latches, footman loops, gas pedal, brake and clutch pedals, and various covers and plates. I’m still finishing up a few detail items such as welting and felt on the radiator shroud; have new air cleaner on order. Asking $14,500 but will consider any reasonable offer (cash offers only – am NOT interested in trades). Additional pictures are available upon request. The vehicle is legally registered and licensed in Alabama. Does not have title but Alabama (and many other states) does not require a title to register/license a vehicle this old.”

Could be worth a look.

“Completely restored and ready to Roll”

Looks nice. Sounds like the seller is flipping it after buying it at an estate sale.

You won’t find a cleaner Willys out there! Here are some of the details, however seeing pictures doesn’t do it any justice.
* Full frame off restoration

Ted shared this eBay auction. It’s a beautiful jeep. It is missing the bow holders on the driver’s side and the spare tire mounted on the passenger side, but those are minor quibbles.

“This Willys is a Cj2a that has been completely restored from ground up.With the motor being all standard it has not been run much. I Ordered a new steel body mostly for the rust issues under the tool box and hat channel.By the time I replaced the channel and floor I was getting up in labor and cost.

I completely disassembled it and started with the frame and worked my way up. The list that follows of new parts installed to make it drive on the highway and be safe to operate. I upgraded the brakes, from 9″ to 11″” self adjusting; And new dual master cylinder. Converted it to a single wire Alternator to get the 12v needed for modern lights and all new cloth wiring.Rebuilt the steering box with new sector shaft, and the jeep does not wander going down the road. All steering is tight.I replaced most all the bolts.The list of parts is long and I did not cut corners on the restore.
