It sounds like the seller may have dissembled/modified this since these pics were taken.

“47′ Willy’s Jeep CJ3A Project. It was a well known winning ex PRO MUDBOGGER BACK IN THE 80’s . It was retired from racing and became a land mark to find my buddies 4×4 Shop for last 20 years. I bought it while back with intentions of restoring it back to it former glory as a feared bogger. It had WAYYY too much lift and made the 44″ Super Swampers look like donut spares lol so I cut out a full 12” of lift kit and NOW IT LOOKS RIGHT!

Here’s the SPECIFICS: VIN plate still on firewall so I paid thc MVD do a VIN inspection which came back clear. I also paid to have a full background check done on the VIN and it’s been so long since registered it’s been kicked out of the system. Apply for lost title with a Surity Bond person (I have a guy) and hand in all the documentation I already got and you’ll have a title no problem. Or keep it a Offfoad toy. Continue reading →

“Here is an excellent example of a restored 1948 CJ- 2A Jeep 4 x 4 built by Willy’s/Overland.  Vehicle was found in a barn in the early 2000’s and completed in 2006.  Body and paint work were performed by Rick Renshaw in Easton MD.  Color is a urethane Vermont green by Ford.  Everything on the Jeep is either rebuilt or new from the gas tank, fuel lines, brakes and hardware to the rebuilt differentials and leaf springs.

The Jeep has always been garage kept since restoration was completed and there appears to be no rust or rot anywhere.  Paint is in excellent condition.

The ‘L-head’ 134 cu. in. /60 h.p. 4-cylinder engine is original as well as the T90 3-speed transmission and were totally rebuilt.  The drive line has less than 1000 miles since completion.

Interior cushions were done in leather for comfort and the top, rear, and side curtains are new in the original canvas material with stenciling.  The Willy’s Jeep was totally rewired and remains a 6-volt system (new battery).  The gauges all work except for the fuel.  Owner believes it is the sending unit.

Tires are the the original style 6.00 x 16”.
