UPDATE: Still Available.

(08/24/2015) Looks like a good price. Seller thinks this is a 1949, but better check the VIN to know for sure. Has an updated engine some other mods.

“1949 Willy’s CJ-2a. Last of the split window model, only about 700 produced that year.

1.8L Ford Pinto engine (70’s vintage). Original running gear otherwise. Full roll cage, widened front fenders, steering box in front of axle, fiberglass seats, 12V, custom aluminum wheels, custom built replacement fuel tank, bikini top, half doors, full top w/ doors, cheap stereo. Clear title in my name.

This was my daily driver/work truck for nearly 6 years and then 14 years ago I parked it in my garage where it remained until last month. It ran when I parked it, but just barely (was a serious oil burner). I’ve made no attempt to start it. If you’re the lucky new owner you’ll have to pick it up with a trailer.

There’s some rust, particularly on the tailgate and some around the window, but the floor pans and rear corners are solid. The hood is slightly caved with rust on the hinge. It does not have the parking brake.”

UPDATE: Still Available. Was $1600.

(07/05/2015) This is an ex-agricultural department, agriculture research service jeep. Too bad the paint isn’t in better condition.

“For Sale 1949 Willys CJ3A jeep. Engine turns freely by hand, not frozen. located in Belgrade. This jeep has a PTO on the transfer case. You can see the PTO lever in the photo of the interior between the seats. This is a relatively rare option on these old jeeps. They could run post hole augers saw mills, generators etc. This option makes sense since this jeep was a Dept. Of Agriculture vehicle as indicated by the lettering. As is $1,600. Looking for the title. This could be restored or used for parts. Do not request response by email.”
