Note the description of the “V” theme. This was published in the April 5, 1950, in The Evening Independent.
UPDATE: Price dropped to $6500
(08/21/2014) “Have a 1948 for sale, she is very pretty and has original 4cyl engine. I could rattle on but the pics should be the best way to advertise her. Have a soft top as well. Fact is I would really like the Willys to find a good home, just don’t have garage space for her. Don’t have room to keep this anymore, price is negotiable. Any questions drop me an email.”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $12,500.
Looks like an interesting build.
“Built by papola off-road 350ci 400hp 4 speed, welder, air compressor, power steering, tilt, chrome everywhere, 35’s call for more info way to much to list $12,500 obo or trade”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500. See Glenn’s comment about the unusual rear PTO gearbox on this.
“We are selling a 1948 Jeep CJ2A. It was converted to 12 volt years ago but the gauges were never switched so they do not function. It has a power take off unit out of the rear. Other than that, it is stock. It has rust over several areas, though none are severe. There is no top for it anymore but the windshield is still fine.
It has a new carburetor, new brake lines and new brake pads. The gas tank is out of it but has been cleaned and the welds tidied up. The engine is a 4 cylinder, and has always performed perfectly in my life time, though it has not been started for the past 5 years since the fuel system has been apart. The tires look to be original so I do not know how much longer they might last.
There is one original seat frame but no cushion and two new boat seats that will easily bolt to the body.
The vehicle was purchased by my grandfather in the 1960’s and used as both a commuter vehicle for several years and then as a farm vehicle after that.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3900.
Never heard the term “T-block”
“1947 Willys CJ2A (Civilian Jeep Model 2A) it has the original style 4 cylinder engine (I think it is called a T block)
– grandpas jeep been owned for well over 35 years in family
– steering assembly upgraded and a new clutch.
– steering gear is new
– engine had new valves and rings a few years back (but not very many miles given use)
– clutch also replaced a few years back (again not that many miles)
– barn stored (better than outside).
– less than 200 miles per year have been put on this jeep (its a vehicle that is stored mostly at a second home)
– pink slip in hand
– mileage not exactly known as odometer is not working.
– runs well but needs a bit of TLC (there is an oil lease but its a jeep from the 40s go figure)
Strong running engine .. but it sits for most the year outside of its 200 miles every year. . will make a great restoration project for someone!”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $7400.
Cody did some research on the “Desert Troop” group. The founder was Bud Adair, who later ran for office. The group was founded in 1972.
I wonder if that hood design was painted in the early 1970s. Could have been.
