UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2850.
This body has been patched extensively.
“1948 Willys Jeep. Nice running, rebuilt 4cyl. Ford Pinto engine conversion. Original transmission, 4WD transfer case, front/rear diff., axles and front locking hubs are in good working order. The ignition and electrical systems have been upgraded from the original 6-volt to 12-volt. Good battery. Body and sheet metal are solid and straight with flat Army green paint. The previous owner installed non-original seats which are in poor condition. However, I managed to find and buy 2 original seat frames which just need to have covers installed, which is fortunately both easy and inexpensive to do with Willys Jeep seats. Wheels are original and in good shape. 3 of the tires are correct military tread and the other is an all-terrain/snow type tread. All 4 tires have light/medium wear.
I was in the process of replacing the entire brake system when my health declined, leaving me physically unable to continue just before I was finished with the brakes. New brake lines have been installed throughout, along with new wheel cylinders and a rebuilt master cylinder. I had the drums turned/machined along with all new brake shoes. I also had the new brake shoes machined, contoured and matched to each drum for a precise, concentric fit at a top-notch specialty brake shop (This is an old trick that costs a little more but significantly improves drum brake performance…with the added benefit of a more responsive and lighter feeling brake pedal). The shoes and hardware are included but have not been installed. Windshield glass is unblemished and clear.
The Jeep has a Texas title but is currently not registered or inspected. This Jeep is elligible for Antique registration which, if the buyer elects to do so, is exempt from state inspection. But once the brake shoes are installed it should have no problem passing inspection. This is a good old Jeep and will give someone many years, miles, and smiles…”
