UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.

(12/28/2017) Steve shared this one. Sell listed this as a 1949, but based on the serial number it was manufactured near the end of the 1948 run.

“Late Willys CJ-2A Jeep, manufactured shortly before switch to CJ-3A. Runs and drives well. Rebuilt engine. 12-volt electrical system. Operating Meyer snow plow with original hydraulic pump and custom-made reinforced mounting rig. Original Willys hood, tailgate, windshield, front seats and rear seat, with original-style vinyl covers by Beachwood Canvas. Repro CJ/M38 body tub has some rust but definitely repairable.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $325

Seems like some value here.

“Old Willy’s. Axles are good, and the engine will crank, but it doesn’t run and drive. Be Good yard art or use drive train for parts.

Update due to so many questions.
I have the original 134 engine. I have extra clutch, radiators, starter, generator, seat frames and original filters, etc. Some from this Jeep it and Other parts are from a 1948. All the parts go with it. I also have old registration papers through the 70s and 80s on it as well.

It is in rough shape. Very rusty body, for those who want a vehicle to restore, the body is beyond that point so look elsewhere.”

This has a rear bench. That engine looks more like an f-head than an l-head.

“Lost storage, engine not running, have second engine flathead original type, complete but #1 main bearing spun. Have found original seats.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800

The foundation for this jeep is a 1948 CJ-2A, but there are some CJ-3A parts here as well. Looks like a good price.

“Start 2018 off right by finally getting that vintage Jeep you’ve always wanted. The New Years resolution you can actually keep!

Up for sale is a 1948 Jeep basket case. I had planned on building this project for many years and it’s finally time for me to face the reality – it’s not going to get finished. I purchased this mess way back in 1998 and it’s sat in a warehouse since then. My plan was to do a restoration, so everything I have is original. If you know about 1946 – 1949 CJ’s you will know exactly what you are looking at. I am quite confident I have a 98% complete project here.

I have two tubs. The brown one is a CJ-2a tub which would have come with the ’48 frame. The red tub is a 1949 CJ-3a tub which the only difference is the wheel wells were shortened to allow the seats to be moved back 2” so the driver would have more leg room. I was going to use this tub for some panels to complete the ’48 tub.

“So this is a 1948 CJ3A, titled as such with only two parts on it that are original. Everything else is from a samurai. Basically it’s a fiberglass jeep body, bolted onto a 1994 samurai frame with all samurai running gear. It was built to be ultra light, with the bench mark of below 1800 lbs which meets the legal requirements for a side by side (class IV UTV) to go on side by side only delegated trails. It’s also a fully insured street legal registered 48 cj3a (no DEQ to meet). The fiberglass body is also made to be 8” longer than a stock CJ3A has to accommodate taller drivers. Why a samurai? Everything on a samurai is built to be lightweight. The engine is fuel injected, aluminum block and heads, fully dressed weights 175 lbs…….. If you think bolting a chevy 350 inside a CJ2A is a good idea this rig probably isn’t for you. If you recognize the biggest advantage you can have off road is lightweight, we should talk. It takes the idea of “go anywhere” to a whole new level.
