UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $13,000.
This Jeepster is equipped with 4WD.
“1948 Willy’s Jeepster. Great 4×4 in very good shape considering the age. Was built and converted to 4×4 by friend whom I purchased this vehicle about 12 years ago. 350 crate motor, sm420 tranny, Ford 9″ rear, Dana 20 transfer case, Dana 44 Front, bikini top. I have probably put a toal of 1000 miles on this rig in the 12 years I’ve owned it, I’ve come to the realization it’s better off in somebody elses hands. I just had extensive brake work done. You get a lot of looks driving this Willy’s, very unique – not many out there. Great wheeler! Please email w any questions,”
The body has had some work.

“1946 CJ 2A. Runs and drives well. Minimal rust. Perfect for restore. Farm keep always kept under cover.”

Thanks to Hans Loix for posting pics of this Ford GPW training engine/trans/tc to Facebook (and to Roger Martin for pointing them out to me).
I’m a big confused by the ‘Jeep’ image stamped onto the side of the crate. In 1951, Willys-Overland was downplaying the use of jeep as a brand. This photo looks to be more like a post 1953-Kaiser-purchase photo. I tried to find a 1951 time-frame photo of a boxed jeep, but couldn’t find any I could compare to this one. Any thoughts on this?
It’s possible, given the photo was published as part of a 1987 article, that someone just guessed on the time-frame of this photo. Also, the fact that Thailand remained active in South Korea until March of 1955 might also provide an explanation for why these boxed jeeps were heading to Thailand.
Runs, but needs work.

“This is a 46 willys cj2a. The tub is in great shape. The motor is a L head. It runs but needs work. It leaks oil and won’t rev up enough to drive. The breaks work but leak. I do not have a title for it the guy I got it from could not find it. You can get one going through the proper channels. I just never did it”
