UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.

Runs and drives, but no title.

“My dad and I bought this jeep about 10 years ago to fix up for a deer lease hunting rig. We pulled it out of a field in east texas and got it running pretty good. Has a 2″ lift kit and some new tall skinny 33/10.50/15 super swampers tires on black steel wheels. Jeep has been painted many times through out its lift and is currently olive drab green. Has roll bar tow bar couple extra seats. It has a very rat rod feel to it as sometime back in the 50-60s a previous owner did a motor swap to the f4 hurricane from the original tornado flat 4. Has an old school offenhouser hood scoop to clear the air filter.

Steering is loose and it has been sitting for a few years. Last time we messed with it it didn’t want to start. Needs cap and rotor. Dad bought a wrangler for the deer lease and I need to get a daily driver worthy truck or suv. Would prefer v8 but open to any trade offers for a running driving vehicle worth at least 3 grand. This jeep has a lot of potential and would be a sweet hunting rig or weekend put around or parades. Send pics and description of trade offers. No title will be sold with bill of sale only. Have not been able to locate Vin or serial number on it may have never had one.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.

Has a passenger fuel inlet. It was supposedly a Navy jeep, but no data plate on the dash to indicate that. How about that air cleaner?

“1949 Willy’s Jeep (CJ2A) for sale by owner. $5,500 or best offer. Mostly original condition with some upgrades over the years. Original motor recently overhauled and runs, but needs some tuning. 4 new springs. New fuel pump and fuel line. Great project vehicle for hunting/off road use or for restoring to original condition. Previous owner advised that it was a Navy jeep.”

UPDATE: Price dropped to $4500

(08/20/2015) Seller indicates this is a project, but it sounds like it runs and drives.

“This is a fantastic project for a Jeep enthusiast! Everything is original accept for the wheels and tires, and the factory after market tailgate, but I also have the original tailgate, (Included). I also am including some extras such as, side mount gas tank and bracket, original Willy’s spare tire with tailgate bracket, 2 – vynil doors, (No Top). This Willy’s has the original flat head, 4 cylinder engine, and it runs great! I was planning to do a frame-up restoration on her, but current circumstances dictate the need for a good work truck. I want to sell her to someone who will follow through with a restoration. I will take cash, or trade for a good work truck of similar value. I have title in hand. Registration is due by the end of this month. Does not require smog. Only serious buyers need contact!”
