UPDATE:**SOLD** Was $3200.

(08/20/2018) When you need to fit the radiator, just cut the hood!

“First generation of mass produced consumer Jeeps/Willys. This is a project vehicle. It currently has a Buick v6 swap in it (super common, it’s what jeep used from the factory in the 60’s and gives a substantial power upgraded from the sluggish 60hp inline 4). I’m not sure if it runs or not, never got around to testing it. Dried coolant around one of the heads leads me to believe it will need a rebuild. Odometer reads around 50k miles, not sure when the swap was completed though. Rust is minimal considering the vehicles age. The worst in the standard spots under the driver seat and near the side rails. Body’s straight, shows no signs of ever being in an accident. Clean title in hand.”

Has rear floaters and the early windshield. The column shift has been changed.

“Hunting Jeep in running condition with lots of new parts. New tires.”

UPDATE **SOLD** Was $3500.

Listed as a 1944, it looks more like a VEC CJ-2A.

“Bought this project, new tires, all new seat frames and cusions, and it runs. No time to work on it.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2775.

It’s been converted to a floor shift, but has full floating hubs and tool indents.

“1946 Willys Jeep CJ-2A Serial # 10515, possibly a 1945. 3 speed on floor Must be picked up at Vallecito Lake, Colorado”

Doesn’t run.

“Was going to rebuild motor (cranks over but just not enough compression to fire) and restore this gem…..but health issues come first…recently had purchased $1,500.00 -2,000.00 of new parts, most are still in boxes, to many to list ….call with any questions…this one will go fast so be the first !”

UPDATE: Price dropped to $400.

(09/29/2017) Appears to have a VEC body.

https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/d/1941-jeep-willys/6558552124.html

“1941 Jeep Willy body, axle and tires. Has windshield and replacement grill but has rare grill on the body. No engine or transmission. Needs lots of work but a great start for a project because it has all original parts on it right now. Pick up only, no drop off.”

UPDATE: Price dropped to $4500.

(02/13/2018) Lots of original jeep here. Quite a few holes in the dash. There are other changes as well that the seller acknowledges.

“This is a very early production, perhaps the very first few civilian jeeps( CJ2A ) that rolled out after the war.

Originally column shift with all linkages in place needing only the shift stalk to take it back to original arrangement.

These very early productions after the war for civilian use were installed with the same body as the MB’s except for the modification of a tail gate, side filling neck gas tank, spare side mounted and windshield with WILLYS on it.

A rare find as this jeep was delivered in Arizona and has remained here since then with one family as stated by the family from whom I bought the vehicle. Last registered in 1970’s and then put away in storage.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.

Will need some body repair.

“I am selling a Very Early Production (rare) CJ2A Column Shift. I bought this with the intent to restore it. Well, we are moving and i don’t have the time or the money. It is in great shape, but has rust in the bottom of the tool box under the passenger seat where most Willys rust. The Body, Frame & Transmission are all original, numbers matching, however the engine is out of a later model, and has a crack in the block below the distributor that needs to be welding up.”

No pics provided.

“Early cj2a body with military indents. Very early production. Does not come with windshield. Contact us for other Willy’s Jeep, and Farmall parts.”

It’s listed as a 1948, it’s got indents. It could be a VEC. That may be a CJ-5 halftop.

“1948 ish willys jeep all original exept the carb, doesn’t run at the moment but everything is there, pto, half can with doors and leather seats(not pictured). Would be a great restore project. No title but will sell with Bill of sale .2500 or best offer”

UPDATE: The price has been dropped to $9000. I swear there was a serial number of 34043 listed, but if it was there, it is no longer there now.

The serial number of 34043 is a bit late for indents. Given the flat plate over the tranny, this may have been a column shift.

“1946 willys CJ2A
1948 windshield
4X4
Front tire lock hubs
Starts right up and ready to go.
Needs a little work but not much at all.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3750.

Travis shared this one. It includes a variety of replacement body panels.

“For sale 1946 Willys CJ2A . This is an early version with a column shift transmission and military MB tool indents. Has been in storage for many years and is indeed of restoration. This Jeep is in original condition and will be sold with body replacement panels shown in the pics. All body panels were made in Maine at Jeep Parts Plus and not over seas. These early Jeeps have developed a following and like many other small 4x4s are becoming very desirable and hard to find.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.

It’s a column shift with indents (top indent at least) so likely a VEC CJ-2A. Body is rough, though has been patched in places. You don’t often see just one part time hub. I’d check to make sure the left front axle and/or front R&P doesn’t have some issue.

“I was told by the heirs that this was a 1948 Willys Jeep, I do not have a title, so I am unsure , there is a long number on the engine, that could lend a clue. This is a 3 speed standard trans, on the column, with two shift levers on the floor, it rolls easy, and the linkage is all free to the trans and transfer case. The odometer reads 38k miles, what you see is what I have, there are no extra parts, engine is complete, radiator and all parts in engine compartment intact.
Serious only, I’m sure the parts are hard to find for this vintage , possibly a 1947 Willys Jeep, Convertible,
the frame is good, rears are complete, and has locking hub on the front left wheel , under the paint is was a medium green when new.”

It’s a column shift (#22818)

“Early flat-fender jeep with rare column shift. Body rough. Engine hasn’t been run in years but appears intact and functional. Basis for a good project for someone with skill and a passion for a real collectible. Comes with extra frame.”
