Dan spotted this unusual CJ-5.  This jeep is for the lover of skulls!  I didn’t know they made green tops like this?

“1965 JEEP CJ5, 350 Chevy, 3 SP tranny, New tire and wheels, canvas top, diamong plate, chrome engine, headers, race seats with 5 point harness, It’s a HOT ROD. It can run as is or you can take it from here and go crazy with it. It is a head turner everywhere you go. Call Dan 406-493-2129 I have more pictures too….. COME ON!!!!!!MAKE ME AN OFFER…Add it all up, the donor Jeep, motor, top, paint job, seats/interior, wheels/tires. Think you could put it together this far for less??? I don’t think so.”

1948 CJ-2A West Jordan, Ut $4200

Brett spotted this interesting find.  There are at least 3 unusual features on this CJ.  The most obvious one is the paint job; unclear what the inspiration was, but it’s unusual.  The second feature is the automatic transmission that has a column shift rather than a floorshift, which is a clever mod.  Finally, while I have seen expanded windshields, I can not remember seeing an expanded windshield that uses a CJ-2A frame (with the exception of the one below this post — strange how these things surface sometimes).

UPDATE:  still available.

(10/01/09) Here’s a stainless jeep from Seattle’s Eastside.  I gotta say, that back seat might be the most comfortable looking back seat I’ve ever seen in the back of a jeep.

1946_cj2a_clintonUPDATE:  This is back on eBay

Here’s a fiberglass CJ-2A that also has a stainless steel grille and windshield.  This has a variety of updates.

“You are bidding on (1) 1946 Willys Jeep CJ2A.  I am the second owner of this vehicle.  The original owner worked on this jeep for 2 1/2 years. He has built many Willys Jeeps in the past. the entire chassis was disassembled Media blasted, boxed and repaired.  All welds are 100% pentrated TIG. The front of the chassis was removed and built up with a donor chassis from a jeep CJ5 donor. and 2″x2″ bar Stock.  The chassis was then painted with 2 coats of POR-15 and chassis coat.  A Rancho 2-1/2″ lift kit was installed along with an additional 1/2″ lift and greasable zirks for a total of 3″ lift.  This will easily clear 33″x12.5 tires.  The rear axle is a 1959 CJ5 Dana 44 that was rebuilt and in the front is the stock dana 27 that was rebuilt.  the gear ratio’s are 5:38.  the T-90 tranny and model 18 transfer case along with bearings, seals, and clutch were also rebuilt.  All new brakes front and rear as well as custom bent brake lines, rubbers, and a dual master cylinder kit.  It has the L-138 Flat head motor in it that was rebuilt and bored .040 over. it runs beautifullly.  It has also an aftermarket Solex carb and custom air intake kit.  it has been converted to a 12 volt system with a brand new alternator.  the body is all fiberglass built by AJ’s Body….”

1948 CJ-2A Littleton, MA **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3800

The more I read the list of specs on this jeep, the more I liked it.  The drive train is a great combo for both on road and off road.  I think the addition of an overdrive would really complete this nice package.

“This is a 1948 Willys CJ2A with a Meyer power angle plow setup. I put the plow on 3 years ago and it was only used on my driveway.  This jeep has seen its share of off-road use so it isn’t a show vehicle. It is a very strong working Jeep that is a blast to drive on and off road. Body is a replacement steel tub, hood, fenders, grill, windshield frame and tailgate are original. 225 cu.in. Dauntless V6 from a 1970 Jeep. HEI electronic ignition.
SM420 transmission, 4 speed with 7.05:1 granny low first gear. Dana 18 transfer case with the large 1.25″ intermediate shaft. Dana 44 rear axle with Lockright locker and 4.27 gears. Dana 27 closed knuckle front axle with 4:27 gears.”
