1948 CJ-2A Woodland, Wa $325

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A, Racing • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

This looks like an old racer.  The roll cage alone is worth some money.  The engine might be worth $325 if it runs like the seller indicates.  The seller also has a set of mounted terra tractor tires for only $150.

“1948 Willys CJ2A Jeep, You can air up the tires, light it on fire & push it down a hill……….but you probably won’t drive this one without a little fine tuning here and there!
It has been converted to a Buick 3.8 V6 engine, but all of the rest of the drive train appears to be original……..Dana 25 in the front…….Dana 30 in the rear.
The tub, firewall and hood have been hacked by someone that shouldn’t be allowed to have any sharp objects. The fenders, grill and frame might be of use to someone, or, you can refer back to my opening line at the top. $325 and it is yours! You could offer me a little less if I appear to be in a good mood.
Call Steve @ 1-360-600-4223

Legends Race of 2009 from the EC4WDA & Jeep Fan

• CATEGORIES: Features, Racing • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

As I was looking for a picture of Indian Uprising’s engine, I came across this flyer. As the flyer indicates, it was a special gathering of old racers and racing jeeps.  I thought this was a fun idea and thought the PNW4WDA might think about that (or maybe they already have).

Here is a link to a page that shows some of the old jeeps that were on display at Jeep Fan.

Here is one of the old flatties that was shown:
