UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay

I got a couple problems with this jeep.  The seller claims the jeep has a “Frame Up Full Restoration”, however given the jeep has no engine or engine related parts, the use of the term full is pretty innaccurate.  Clearly, there’s been no restoration from the frame downward, as the U bolts are rusted, the shocks are greasy, etc.  Also, check out the roll cage; there isn’t even an attempt to place a plate underneath the fiberglass body to sandwich the body at the very least, let alone a proper attempt to tie the roll cage into the frame.  A stock buick 225 engine is rated at about 150 – 160 hp, not 175hp.  The paint job does look very nice and their appear to be a number of other new parts as well.  The opening bid price is $3995.

“Up for highest offer is a 1947 Willys Jeep painted 1965 Ford Poppy Red.  Original frame and Willys overland Drivetrain.Needs motor.   Frame up full restoration.  many aftermarket parts 5000.00 invested . Aftermarket HD fiberglass body and fenders .  many parts to much to list. Comes with 1970 Jeepster Commando with Buick Dauntless running V6 engine.     You will need to buy the V6 swap kit to link the Buick V6 to the T90 transmission….”

UPDATE:  Price dropped to $2500

It appears there’s been a good deal of work done on it.

“This is a early 1950’s Willys Jeep with almost complete restoration. The jeep was stripped to the frame and rebuilt from the ground up. It just needs a few things to finish (radiator,wiring,seats). This was my project 4 years ago and just do not have time to finish it. Please email me at hand@my180.net”

The seller says the winch is a PTO, but that looks like a Warn winch to me?  Looks like some rust in the steps.

“either a cj2a or cj3a, has artic top, everything seems to be original. motor looks rebuilt. its been in the family for 12 years. has what i think is called an artic top, has pto winch.have title, email with any questions”

That roll bar just isn’t working for me.  I’m a sucker for the old slot aluminum rims, as many of you know.

“Nice old Jeep, lots of work done, needs a little more… Can’t get all the pics to load, come by & see it at 6653 Mallard St, San Diego, Ca 92114.  (619) 264-1940”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

I suspect this seller won’t get any bids with a starting price of $2900.  The jeep appears pretty stock, but pictures reveal this jeep is a bit rough.

“THIS AUCTION IS FOR ONE 1950 WILLYS CJ 3A JEEP. I HAVE OWNED THIS JEEP SINCE 1976 AND AM THE SECOND OWNER. THE MOTOR WAS REBUILT IN 1975 JUST BEFORE I BOUGHT IT. IT HAS A NEW BLOCK. IT HAS THE ORIGINAL FLAT HEAD 4 CYLINDER. EVERYTHING IS ORIGINAL EXCEPT FOR THESE THINGS. I CHANGED OUT THE HUBS WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT IT. THEY ARE WARN TURN IN/OUT TYPE HUBS. THE WHEELS ARE ORIGINAL BUT TIRES ARE OBVIOUSLY DIFFERENT. THERE WAS A HITCH ON THE BACK AND I LEFT IT THERE. THERE IS STILL A 2 POINT FRONT RECEIVER THAT ALLOWS IT TO BE TOWED WITH A TOW BAR….”
