UPDATE: Was $3850. **Status Unknown**
(10/28/2013) The Studebaker motor looks good in there.
“Very solid classically modified Willys CJ-2A, loaded with after market accessories.
I have owned this jeep for several years and lightly used it around my property. I picked it up in Salt Lake City from the son of the man who had owned it most of it’s life. He had used it for hunting and just tooling around in his retirement, in Arizona. He had purchased the Jeep from a family friend where it started it’s life, in Wyoming. Due to the Jeep’s life in dry climates, it remains very solid.
The Jeep was classically modified many years ago to give it more power. As was common in the 50’s, it had it’s motor replaced with a Studebaker Champion 6 Cyl for a boost in power. That engine remains and is a strong and solid runner. It does seem to need some carburetor work right now. It starts well and runs well but is a bit finicky getting the revs up. Once there, it cruises well. The only other real issue with the Jeep is the radiator has a few small leaks and has to be watched.
The Jeep is a classic example of a Jeep modified to meet the owner’s quirks through the addition of some Willys options and aftermarket accessories.
-It has two heaters in it (one for each side)
-It has mounting hardware for a soft top
-It had a special spare carrier mounted on the tailgate (removed and still have)
-It has a 6/12 volt radio
-It has an ash tray mounted in the dash
-It has turn signals
-It has heavy duty home made bumpers
-It had a folding game reck welded to the rear bumper (removed and still have)
-It had a gun rack mounted between the seats (removed and still have)
-It has a brake booster
-It has 16″ wheels (15″ was standard)
-It has lockout front hubs
-It has a welded rear end to give true 4wd capability
-It has a removable tow bar for 2″ hitch
-The coolest and rarest feature on the Jeep is a PTO driven winch, which works great and is very handy
The Jeep is very solid and with someone who can address the carburetor issue, will be a good strong vehicle for years to come.”
