1948 CJ-2A Andover, KS $5000
This has a Koenig half-cab. It could be worth a look.

“Everything works and is all there. It’s still a 6V system, has 3 sets of wheels including the original ones. It has the Koenig half cab, currently off the Jeep. It’s does have some rust but isn’t bad for a 74 year old vehicle”
1948 CJ-2A Ovando, MT $1600
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1600.
(02/01/2022) Listed as a 1949, the serial number for the chassis is near the end of the 1948 production run. This lacks an engine. The hardtop does appear custom.

“1948 Willys CJ2A Jeep. $2000/obo. Sincere, old Montana jeep, surprisingly rust-free body, some bondo. No motor. Title (Helena, 1971); title says 1949 but I was informed the serial number is 1948 production. Unique, custom, well-built, steel full cab, therefore no original windshield frame or tailgate. Floors minor rust-out, bed very solid and straight, toolbox replaced. Some metal sheeting tacked on exterior of body. Original radiator and toolbox lid included. 16” rims, tires have air but need replaced”

1946 CJ-2A West Marin, CA $5000
UPDATE: Still Available.
(02/05/2022) This appears to be a 2A body with a Willys stamped rear body part grafted on to the back. Yet, it is missing a few 2A features in the dash and lacks a steering column hole. I’m scratching my head over this odd body.

1947 CJ-2A Bozeman, MT $2500
Along with some rust, this CJ-2A has all kinds of mods. I’ve unaware of any factor “cowl cover”; that said, the place I’ve seen these cowl extensions most often is in the northern Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana areas, so maybe there was a dealer(s) in those areas offering custom cowl creations? The hardtop looks to be an aftermarket Koenig half cab.

“47 Willys ran has 6v system needs new batteries. Has very rare factory cab and cowl cover. Rear pto winch. Great project.”
1946 CJ-2A With Custom Body and Top
Eric postedthis cool little jeep to the Willys CJ-2A Facebook page. His grandfather did the original work. The redesigned jeep had fallen into disrepair before Eric began the work necessary to resurrect it back to how his grandfather’s build.

1966 Stretched DJ-6 6×6 Portland OR $23,950
UPDATE: Still Available.
(08/04/2021) This is a unique jeep that you may have see pics of around the internet/facebook. Both back axles are powered. A few readers have seen this in person and know the builder. One especially unique thing about it is that the jeep was originally a rare DJ-6.

1953 US Navy Smalley Port-O-Spot on ProxiBid
May 5, 2022 • CATEGORIES: Features, Fire/Police/Industry Vehicles, Unusual • TAGS: Jeep-Trains, Odd Body.
Andy shared this rarely seen US Navy Smalley Port-O-Spot. It’s another odd utility vehicle partly built with Willys-Overland parts. Only a couple hours left in the bidding; the high bid is currently $3100.
“Made by Oxnard Heavy Maintenance & Mfg Co. Oxnard California. It has a Willys drivetrain, and it does run and drive.”
1949? CJ-3A? Athens, GA $3500
This is an odd build. The seller also has a 1979 CJ-5 for sale.

1964 Wagon Traveller Katy, TX eBay
Mike spotted this modified Traveller for sale out of Texas. The serial number put this at only 7 units later than Scrambleer’s (Dan) Orange Traveller (see his wagon at the lower part of this 2014 post). Given it is so heavily modified, it would make a good platform for doing something creative. It would surprise me if this was a former Border Patrol vehicle (but I see no gov plate).
View all the information on eBay
“We believe this is a 1964 Jeep Willys Traveller based on the interior and exterior trim. It has been modified as shown.
It has a V8 and manual trans, 4×4. It runs well. New BFG Tires.
Would make a good hunting or other off road touring rig. It does not have a title. It comes Bill of Sale only.”
1957 Fire-CJ-3B-Wagon out of Poland $10,500
April 18, 2022 • CATEGORIES: CJ-3B, Fire/Police/Industry Vehicles, International, Willys Wagons • TAGS: Hardtop, Odd Body.
UPDATE: Price dropped to $10,500.
Ivan shared this rare jeep. It is a former fire jeep-wagon. It was likely part of a limited production model either from some Willys-licensee in Europe or a third party. It’s priced at 45,000 Plish Zlotych which equates to about $19,500 USD.

1959 CJ-5 Walla Walla, WA $5000

Year? CJ-5 Edgewood, TX $1500
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1500.
This modified CJ-5 has an extended rear. The seller is unsure of the year, but it seems most likely a mid 1960s CJ-5 given the lack of a tailgate stamp and no faux battery box lid.
