“This 1947 Willys Jeep runs and acts just like its old.  However she’s reliable and has her own personality. Yep just like all the old ones this gal needs a special touch to start, for which I will show the new buyer. Yes, I did drive it as a work vehicle for three years. Its a 6 VOLT system and the engine was overhauled in 1967 which is stamped on the block. Original nameplates are on the body. The transmission shifts great, does not jump gears and does leaks a “little” oil around the seals. The 4×4 transfer case shifts in & out smoothly. The PTO works great and drives the 60’ish Ramsey 12,000 LB winch just fine…. .”

“One 1945 Willys Jeep Cj-2A up for sale. I bought this jeep for my father, but his location no longer allows for this type of vehicle.  The jeep is in need of restoration, but is nearly ready to drive. The jeep has a brand new set of tires.  The stickers haven’t even worn off of them.  They have approximately 30 yards of mileage on them. There is also a new starter installed. The engine turns over, and spark is good.  It is not running due to a probable timing issue.  It backfires, but doesn’t start yet. This jeep is in need of a new wiring harness, along with various and sundry repairs.  The frame is good, the drive system appears to be in running order, although with some use it will probably need some seals and gaskets to be replaced. The tub has quite a bit of rust, as is normal with a 1940’s jeep.  The tailgate and windshield frame fold (no glass in the windshield though), and the attached towbar is usable….”

1945 CJ-2A Bozeman, MT **SOLD**

1945_cj2a_bozemanUPDATE:  **SOLD**

This is a beautiful CJ-2A, no doubt about that.  However, if I’m going to spend $19k for a CJ-2A, I would prefer it be restored accurately.  Here’s a few minor issues and thoughts.  If this is a 1945 CJ-2A (only 1,824 made), then I’d expect the serial number to be pretty low. So, with that (and with help from the Cj-2A Page website) here’s a few detail issues:

  1. The color is off.  This is a pale green rather than the two original colors (pasture green or harvest tan).  Additional colors weren’t added to the line until serial number 38221 (mid 1946).
  2. The windshield is a CJ-3A windshield.
  3. The headlight bezels, while they look better in chrome, should be the body color up to serial number 38687
  4. I believe the front hubs are aftermarket, as I think the early CJ-2As came without hubs (I could be wrong about this detail)
  5. I don’t see the cutouts on the driver side (maybe the image obscures them) that should be there on a CJ-2A up to serial number approximately 29500.

There are other details I would want to know more about, however the pictures dont’ show enough information.

“This is a 1945 Willys Jeep CJ-2A. It is owned by mother in-law who has owned it for almost 20 years. She is the second owner. The first owner was an elderly potato farmer in Manhattan, Montana. She has kept this CJ-2A in her garage under a sheet for the past 15 years. It was restored in the mid 1990’s and has been driven about 100 miles per year since. It has the original engine though it has been rebuilt. It is a pale green color insode and out. I have driven this Willys and can assure you it starts right up, doesn’t smoke, and shifts through all of the gears smoothly. It is 100% rust free. This is a very clean, straight Willys that has been very well cared for. $19000”

Rotabuggy or Blitz Buggy — The Flying Jeep

interior_rotabuggyOn some post somewhere I have an image of the flying jeep.  I recently found a trove of information and images of the Rotabuggy, (actually, I just did a google image search of a rotabuggy) including pictures of a recreated model.  One of the more unusual images is an interior shot, which I show to the right.

From the willys-mb.ru website:

“In the early 1940s flight tests had been carried out on a number of one-man gliders known as Rotachutes. During this time Raoul Hafner decided to apply the same principle on a larger-scale military vehicle. On 3 April 1942 the Rotary Wing Section of the Airborne Forces Experimental Establishment AFEE) at Ringway, Manchester, submitted a proposal for the application of the system to the Blitz Buggy or Jeep.”

The Unreal Aircraft website records an eye witness account of one flight, which left the driver exhausted.

1953 CJ-3B Richfield, Va **seller backs out**

1953_cj3b_richfieldUPDATE:  Mike and the seller agreed to a deal, but the seller backed out of his agreement with Mike (hopefully, Mike found this out before he made the trip to see it).  No doubt someone probably offered more.

“Here is my “53 Willys jeep, it has the original 4 cylinder motor with the 6 volt system. The motor, transmission, and transfer case are all in real good working order. The transmission has a very rare feature, it has the torque gear in it. What that is if you don’t already know, is the fourth shifter you can hopefully see in the picture. It more or less gives you a high and low range for each gear. Which is kind of nice for on the road. Because these aren’t made for speedanyway. The frame is in good shape,no holes rusted threw. The jeep is licensed with antique license which from what I am told they are transferrable. I believe they were $75, a one time fee.”

1951_cj3a_idahospringsUPDATE:  Price dropped to $2800.  This is a pretty good price I think.

There have been a few minor updates, however it sure looks nicely stock.  It would probably restore very nicely.

“1951 jeep willys cj-3a, all original except converted to 12 volt(still have 6 volt generator), and tires and rims. Have soft top from kayline, but needs to have a windshield mount made. runs good and 4×4 works good too. new radiator, windshield, and battery(but needs to be mounted). will need new guages, the speedo and oil pressure guage work though.”
