For $1600, this looks like it might be a pretty good deal.

UPDATE: **SOLD**
I include this jeep as it’s a rare example, in my opinion, of a DJ-3A with a tailgate. I’ve heard these existed, but hadn’t had picture proof until I saw this one. The thing that clued me in was the large speedometer. Once I saw that, I went back and read the description.
“For Sale is my 1955-1964 DJ3A/CJ2A/CJ3A combo Jeep that I use on my Farm for general weekly transportation over the last several years. Jeep is stored inside my barn at all times on my farm. If you are looking for a show vehicle with matching numbers this is not the ride for you. However, if you are looking for a good solid original Willys flat fender Jeep driver for general use, read on. All body parts except the tool box are original Willys manufacture. Body tub, fenders, hood, tailgate, and front grill are original DJ3A that have had a paint job using Mil Standard Sherwin Williams OD CARC paint. Body tub is solid as the DJ3A had a full hard top which protected it from the normal weather related rust experienced by most soft top Willys vehicles…..”
Here’s a running flatfender that appears in good shape. The engine doesn’t look like much. Good looking roll cage, though I prefer bars on the outer edges between the loops rather than just in the center. If you have ever been jeeping in a tight spot and had the roll cage bar bump along a tree, you’ll know what I mean. It’s too easy to catch a tree inbetween the two loops.

UPDATE: This nice CJ-2A is still for sale. There’s lots of updates to this jeep, including, I think, reversed front shackles.

“This is a very nice CJ-2A California jeep that is redone as a WWII Medic’s vehicle. This was my Dad’s Jeep which he purchased in California (where he lived) in the 60’s. I brought it to Pennsylvania last year and put a new exhaust, brake system and water pump on it along with a tune up and head gasket. New canvass summer top and front seat cushions. Has always been garaged here in PA. Runs, drives and stops like new. Has new radial tires and Overdrive which really makes driving it a joy.”
It looks like this jeep has had some interesting upgrades. I’ve seen a few other jeeps with the Ford 9 inch rear, but am not clear what the advantages of that are.
“Willys CJ2A Low Hood Flat Fender Jeep. Engine is a fuel injected 4.3 liter Chevy V6. Manual transmission, newly rebuilt transfer case, Ford 9 inch rear, winch. Asking $8500 or best offer. In Yakima, WA.”
“1945 Willys Jeep- It has a 4 cylinder engine which turns over, but it has an electrical problem somewhere so it is not starting. It has a rebuilt starter. It also has a tow bar, a roll bar, and dualmatic locking hubs. Needs brake job. I have the pink slip and it’s registered as a non-op. We have too many projects and need to sell this one.”

This may be a pretty good deal if the bodies are in reasonable shape.
