1947 CJ-2A Portland, OR **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3400

Runs and drives.

“We purchased this 1947 Willys Jeep within the last year and we used it as our “fire chief” advertising vehicle for the summer. Our business is renting fire engines for promotions, advertising, and special events. We usually trailer the vehicle although we have been running errands with it. It has been a great head turner for our needs but we’re getting another fire chief car so we want to sell it.

The odometer reads 06723 miles and we were told it is actual but I that find that difficult to believe so I wouldn’t count it as accurate. It does has the flathead 4 cylinder motor.

The hardtop IS removable. No soft top.

Tip out windshield. $800 worth of NEW TIRES.

The rotary beacon emergency light is not included and is not actually attached to the hard top.

We’ve just rebuilt the original carburetor and replaced the points. We checked compression and one of the cylinders is working at about 40%. Either an adjustment of the valves or that valve needs work. We do not plan to do any further service and continue to drive it for errands at this time.”

UPDATE: Still Available

(10/15/2014) This looks good.

“Fantastic 1955 Jeep – Runs Smooth and Drives.
This is a fantastic Jeep. Engine is the original and preferred 226-L6 Super Hurricane flat 6 and was just gone through by an experienced classic car guy. Partial restoration is done. Body is fantastic and rust free. Starts easy, runs great and fun to drive. This is a vintage 1955 Jeep Wagon, America’s first 4×4 SUV. It will climb 57 degree grades (although I have not tried) and brings smiles everywhere it goes. Ready for the new owner to recover the seats and side panels in desired color. This is a GOOD ONE – Body not rusted. Work done in 2013/2014 includes: New fuel pump and lines, New fuel tank, Professionally overhauled Carb, New water pump and hoses, conversion from 6v to 12v with new Willys alternator and battery, and much more. Fun to tinker and will be an easy restoration finish as show car or daily driver. This vehicle is complete; original seats (front and rear) acquired and ready for cover. All parts ever needed in future are easily available from Willys – easy to work on. If you are interested is a unique, fun vintage Jeep, please email.”
