1948 CJ-2A Grand Junction, Co **SOLD**
This looks like a nicely, pretty original CJ-2A. The desert has likely helped preserve it.
“I don’t know a lot about this vehicle. An elderly lady I know wants to sell it. It belonged to her and her husband. The Jeep comes with a front tow bar and a back seat. It does run, however there is a short in the electrical system that keeps draining the battery. The jeep says it has 20182 miles on it, however the lady who owns it says she thinks the speedometer has rolled over a time or two. If you need further details, please email me and I will try to answer your questions as best as possible.”
1949 CJ-2A Townsend, MT **SOLD**

My Build — Front Turn Signals, an Update
A local reader named Joshua responded to my question about front turn signals, writing that he had a pair of lights I might find interesting. I ran over yesterday to take a look at them. Apparently, someone had mounted them onto a GPW grille, clearly a place they didn’t belong. Since Joshua didn’t have any use for them, he kindly offered them to me for free (Thanks!).
I took the lights home and took them apart. The beehive cones are glass, are in perfect shape, and cleaned up nicely. Unfortunately, the bezels are just rough enough that I don’t think I can use them; however, the bezels did have an autolamp UN67 stamp on them. Here’s an example of the glass on the grille, though I didn’t have the bezel in this example. The look is exactly what I wanted
I plugged the Autolamp model number into google and found the Taillightking website, a detailed older light website run by A. J. Phillips. Using the website, I not only found an example of a UN67 bezel, but also discovered a SL49 bezel that’s more like what I’m looking for (it appears a little shorter than the other). Unfortunately, both of these have been sold. According to what I can glean from the taillightking website, they were used either as rear lights or interior lights for Chevelles (year unknown). I suspect they were used on other vehicles as well.

Autolamp SL49 in Excellent Shape |
While I might not have the bezels I need yet, I do have the lights and light assembly (the old wiring assembly was a single filament, rather than the dual filament for parking and turn lights). I took apart some extra towing lights I have and clipped out the wiring and bulb holder. I had to enlarge the grille hole slightly to fit the bulb assembly, but that was easy to do. The below image shows the roughed out assembly in the back of the grille. I’ll need to add a hole to the metal tab that will hold the assembly in place.
Now, all I have to do is find two bezels and I’m set.

1954 CJ-3B Prescott, AZ **SOLD**
Though listed on ebay, this is a buy-it-now sale rather than an auction. No doubt there’s been money invested into this jeep. It’s certainly interesting.

1946 VEC CJ-2A Hudsonville, MI **SOLD**
I’m guessing the pictures don’t do this jeep justice? Only $850? I don’t see any duct tape or baling wire, so it must be worth at least a $1000? Definitely worth a look.
“This is a 1946 cj2a willys jeep. it runs, drives, and the brakes work. the body is in pretty rough shape. I would say that from the windshield back it is shot, but im also not a body guy. the motor runs good, smokes alot. the drivetrain is in great shape 4×4 high and low works. the frame looks very solid, i didnt notice any rusty sections. i dont want to try to fool anyone, this jeep needs some work. it is drivable as is but needs some tlc. i have too many projects and need to sell this one unfortunately. im asking 850 obo. “
