1947 Truck (4wd) Jamestown, RI **SOLD**

UPDATE:  Well, Steve couldn’t stand the thought of someone not restoring this truck, so he bought it and has offered to provide updates to ewillys readers as he restores it.  Best of luck Steve!

A reader named Steve examined this Truck today.  It’s got a Dump O Matic Hydraulic Dump Bed. Steve felt this was more work than he was looking for, but thought it would be great ‘for the right Willys Addict’. Thanks Steve!

Steve reports, “This was the first year for the pickup with only 2,346 4WD models built. The bed has a fair amount of body rot, but could be repaired or replaced.  The cab is original and mostly complete.  It’s not dented or molested.  The engine is seized (but included to keep matching numbers) and the seat bottom and headliner are missing.  A replacement engine is included that came from a military generator that was religiously maintained and ran on propane.  The tires are dry rotted, but the frame looks good.”

Here’s the Craigslist AD:

“1947 Jeep pick-up. 4 wheel drive. Dump O Matic pick up bed. Truck is in fair condition for an unrestored truck of this age. This is a restoration project.There is rust but cab and floor are in good condition.Truck has 42000 miles. Last time on road was 1987. For more information call David at 401-465-9490”

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was $10,000.

(11/04/2010)

“First of all please note my stellar feedback so you can bid with confidence. I expect the buyer to be the same. Out of my collection is this very original 1946 CJ-2A Willys with matching civilian 1946 TC-3B Bantam trailer. This Willys is a frame off restoration. It is refinished in the original and correct color of Harvest Green. It has the correct original running gear: 134-L Go Devil engine, T-90 trans and Dana 18 transfer case. This Willys would do well in any show and is turn key ready. Best of all, you can drive it anywhere.  The reserve is set MUCH less than comparable vehicles on the market and this INCLUDES the Bantam trailer. Odometer shows 47,290. I don’t know if this is actual or not. The following are all new or professionally rebuilt. Look at the pic’s…”

The Ensign 100

Here’s an interesting, rare offroad vehicle built specifically for Mining.  I first discovered it at Hemmings and then ran across a detailed story about it at OEMOffHighway.com.  I couldn’t find any more pics or information about them.

From OEMOffHighway.com, “The Ensign 100 was rated at 1.5 tons and was built around a frame made from 2x4x0.25 in. steel tubing, on to which a body fabricated from 1/4, 3/16 and 1/8 in. plate steel was welded. The standard power plant was Ford’s 52 hp, four-cylinder 192D diesel industrial engine, although Deutz or Perkins could also be ordered.”

1944 MB Wenatchee, Wa $2000

It runs, drives and has a plow.  This might not be a bad price.

“Runs and drives and plow works and has a cheap winch. Body is not so hot. Has the artic frames for the canvas around the head lights. Part of the passengers side has been cut out and someone cut a hole and put a CJ type gas tank in it. Wrong windshield. But engine is military and runs as does the tranny.”

1948 CJ-2A Lexington, Sc **sold for $4500**

The auction on this just completed on this very stock jeep.  This was a one-family jeep that looks very solid and appears fairly rust free, though the floor boards deserve some inspection based on the floorboard pic.   This didn’t last long (less that 24 hours) before someone offered the buy-it-now price of $4500.  I’m a little surprised it went so quickly for that much. It does have the original bill of sale (last pic) which is cool.

“I am selling my 1948 CJ2A.  I am located in Lexington, SC.  This Jeep was bought brand new by my Grandfather in March of 1948.  I have the original bill of sale as well as a clear title.  My grandfather passed away in 1987 and the Jeep sat in a barn until 2007.  The Jeep is now in good running order, but I do not have the dedication or the funds to take it to the next level of restoration.”

The buy-it-now price is $12000.  The seller includes some pics of other half scale vehicles for sale and they look pretty good.    However, for $12,000 I can buy most any real jeep I want and have money left over for the trailer.
