Looks solid.

“This 1947 Willy’s CJ-2A was acquired in 2017 from a family that had reportedly used it for decades at a cabin near Fort Collins, Colorado. This jeep still has its original 1947 Colorado license plate as well as a current AZ plate and title.

Finished in gray, the Jeep is powered by the infamous 134ci “Go Devil” inline-four teamed with a three-speed manual transmission and a two-speed transfer case. The engine runs smoothly and starts effortlessly. 4 Wheel drive works easily and hubs lock smoothly.

This Willy’s could be used as a trail runner for hunters/shooters or even something just to cruise to the local store or car show on the weekends. It could easily be converted into a rock-crawlers dream. The decision is up to the buyer…

CJ-3B Koenig Hardtop Meridian, ID **SOLD**

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $650.

Looks solid, Jeep NOT for sale.

“Koenig Iron Works Hard Top. Originally for a CJ3A, I modified it slightly to fit my CJ3B. It can be reverted back with very little work. I had all new shatter proof auto glass and seals installed several years ago. Rear lift gate opens and latches open perfectly. Doors have roll up/down windows. Driver’s side doesn’t go down the last 2″ or so when the interior door panels are on – the arm catches on something. I never worried about it since the top was only on in the winter time.

The door latches work fine but are not the kind that lock. The inside of the roof has the brackets to put a headliner in there if you want one. Top comes apart (sides, lift gate, doors, roof) for easy, out of the way storage, and bolts back together easily. It’s a solid top, but the paint is starting to chip a little bit. Get this now so you’re warm and dry next winter! It is currently off the Jeep and ready to be picked up. $650 OBO.”
