1946? CJ-3B? Memphis, TN $1250

This is an interesting creature. Anyone recognize the chassis? The body looks lengthened, or is custom, or is some type of replacement body (prob out of the Philippines if a replacement).

This modified jeep has benign storage for about four decades. It’s supposedly a Metamet prototype, so, if true, this should be of interest to Metamet fans.

(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

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

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.

1964 Wagon Traveller Katy, TX eBay

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

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.”

Year? CJ-5 Edgewood, TX $1500

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

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.
