The sellers of this jeep are very interested in seeing it go to someone who will restore it. It’s got a rare Boston Top that’s in good condition. Contact Mark Pinel at (970) 201-7673 or MarkandLisaPinel@gmail.com if interested.
“It is partially restored (Brakes, Suspension, Seats Re-upolstered), 33,618 original miles. My Dad bought it brand new Dec. 13, 1947 and I have the original bill of sale. It starts easily and holds excellent oil pressure, never had the head off but is in need of carb re-build. I have all the original equipment including governor, PTO, all seats and original aluminum removable hard top with exception of the snow plow. I also have a wide array of spare parts including color-coded cloth wireing harness, vacuum and electric WW motors, ignition parts, complete exhaust system, etc, everything that one would need to put it into first order condition. But it needs to go to a legitimate restorer who can do it right. The engine & VIN numbers on the Bill of Sale match the Jeep and data tags.
Starts easily but the carbureator needs a rebuild as the jets are so clogged up it needs nearly full choke to run. Among the spare parts is a rebuild kit or two for the carb. The transmission shifts well as does the transfer case and the PTO case. The speedometer cable broke during the last few years my Dad had the Jeep but he only was using it around their home, it was not even registered so no meaningful miles since. I have a replacement speedometer cable. The mileage is shown on one of the photos as 33,618.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500.
Lots of updates. Looks in good shape.

“I have a nice 1961 Willys Wagon. It is. A nice driver by no means a show car. It has rust in a lot of places but looks so cool. Has a Chevy 6 cylinder with HEI ignition,has a turbo 350 trans and a Ford rear end. It is still on the original frame. Has nice duel exhaust. Rust and drives good. Gets a lot of attention. Interior has been redone and is very nice,no headliner. Needs a new headlight switch . Heater works. Turn signals work. Breaks are good. I also have with it a 1963 Willys Wagon for parts for the 61 or you can go the other way. The 63 is on a blazer frame with a small block in it and the blazer drive train. Very good body but does have rust in some areas”

“This 1948 Willys CJ-2A has been in the seller’s family since 1981 and is powered by a 2.2L Go Devil flathead four-cylinder paired to a 3-speed manual with 4WD and a high-low transfer case. The truck remains in nearly stock condition other than the addition of turn signals and larger wheels and tires. The second owner of this Willys was the Rifton, New York Volunteer Fire Department, who acquired it in 1949 with 1,100 miles. It remained with them until being sold in 1977 with 6k miles to Philip Stokes, also of Rifton, New York. The seller’s father was the fourth owner and acquired it in 1981. Over the last 36 years it was primarily used as an airport vehicle. Recent service includes an oil change and rebuilt fuel pump. This Willys is offered with some service records and a clean Illinois title in the seller’s name.”
Looks like a good price.

“1952 Jeep Willys. No rust. Great shape. Fold down windshield is your A/C. Army green. Upgraded to an F-Head engine. Super fun.”

“1947 Willy’s Jeep CJ2A. We are the third owners. It runs and drives great. It looks pretty good too. It has a Jeep V6 and a rare overdrive setup. The seats have great upholstery and the body is pretty straight. It does have it’s needs, but motor and drive train are good. Brand new tires last year. Its a cool little ride, especially around hot august nights.”
