UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $450.

This could work for someone.

cj2a-vec-chassis-ny

“This is a rolling chassis from an early CJ2A. I believe it’s early because it has a floating rear axle which was only in MB’s, GPW’s and early CJ2A’s.
The frame is RUST FREE, but it does have a quality repair done to the left front frame horn.
It’s a nice fix, just not original.
The home made front bumper is welded on but none of the frame was damaged or cut off. It could easily be brought back to stock, if desired.
Comes complete with wheels, rear draw bar, steering and everything else shown EXCEPT the trans/transfer case.
That can be left on for an additional fee.
CALLS ONLY, and not after 8pm. Text and emails will be ignored, thanks to scammers.
Located in 10588 zip. Please look it up before calling and asking “where are you located?”.”

Craigslist Now Charging $5 to List Vehicles

May 8, 2019 • CATEGORIES: News This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

I don’t know how I missed this news, but Chad let me know that as of April 15th Craigslist will charge $5 per automotive listing. The listing expires after thirty days, but the seller can repost the exact ad another thirty days (into perpetuity?) for free.

craigslist

Am I fan of this change? Nope. Craigslist will simply push people to other websites, most likely and primarily Facebook. And that’s a problem for me, as Facebook’s search engine absolutely sucks. It will probably also mean that vehicles that are non-running will more often appear under automotive parts, which remains free.

Rare Blue Star Half Cab Buckingham, IA eBay

Seller is looking for $80. It needs some work. Seller will consider an offer. Seller does not want to ship it. These pics are the best documented images I’ve found for this top. Here is the brochure: http://www.ewillys.com/2018/02/17/blue-star-hardtop-half-cab/

View all the information on eBay

blue-star-half-cab-ia02

“This auction is for an aluminum hard top and door that came with a 1947 Willys CJ2A Jeep that I purchased. (The Jeep is not for sale.) The hard top is incomplete and has a few issues, but this might be handy for someone that has a similar hardtop.

Here’s the bad news. The rear plexiglass is cracked, there are a couple of small cracks in the corners of the aluminum roof panels. I have a drivers side door, but the mating hinge that should be on the roof portion is missing. I do not have a passenger door, but the hinge is on the passenger side of the roof portion. The door is set up to have some sort of window, but it is missing the window.

I’m hoping I’ll find someone out there who could take advantage of these parts. It doesn’t weigh much, but it’s just too big to ship. The buyer will need to pick this up just outside of Buckingham Iowa.”

This is a no reserve auction. It has a fun paint job.

“Very nice Jeep Willy’s CJ2A with a strong later Jeep V6 engine with headers. Custom paint job. Transmission and transfer case were recently rebuilt. Original Steel body. New bikini top (can be hemmed for custom fit). Roll cage and bench seat. Always kept inside. Zero rust! Great body out/under and in between. Super sold example! There is a small spot on rear passenger fender that needs painted (black to match other side) but this does not affect the nice paint job at all. Otherwise I know of nothing that it needs. Good tires, brakes and clutch. Very well cared for inside and out. Keep in mind this is a 73 year old vehicle so expect some imperfections. Clear title in hand.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500.

A little nitpicky item. The seller notes the tranny was rebuilt, but shows a pic of the transfercase.  The drain hole appears filled.
