1949 CJ-2A Nevada? $5700

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A • TAGS: , , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

This good looking jeep likely has a Bobcat body. The license plates suggest the jeep is in Nevada, but the VIN/ID plate is from Washington. I’m surprised this only has a Dana 41 rear. Is that a thin air cleaner between two steal plates.

“This is in Excellent conditions. Fun for going off-Road up to the Mountain. This has a Dana 41 rear, with 44 rebuilt rear ready to go in. Dana 25 front. 11″ brakes. 2 1/2″ lift. Custom nerf bars. 8000LB. Winch. Seats extended 8″ in to the wheel wells for leg room. 8000LB Winch. Tilt Steering Wheel. Power steering. Opt roll cage. New aluminum wheels. Tow Bar comes off easy. High back seats. Dual exhaust. Upgraded heater. Bikini-Top. Air-Lock emergency brake. EXTRA: Dana 44 rear end is rebuilt and ready to install. Fiberglass high hood painted to match. Fun option to change the look. Priced to sell fast. Check this one out. Remember You Pay NO Sales Tax! Call me for more information. (key # A10)”

Ed Bray and his parents raced jeeps for years throughout the West. They built two Fiberglass Bobcat bodied race jeeps. In fact the family was friends with both Paul Parker (Parkette Fiberglass Body manufacturer) and Fred Weis (Bobcat Fiberglass body Manufacturer).

Their first jeep with a bobcat body was built on a military frame and powered by a 327 with 365 HP.  Below is Ed’s mother at the start of a race in Calgary where she won an obstacle race. A year ago Ed spotted this jeep, still powered by the same motor (he recognized the sound), driving in Spanaway, Washington.

My beautiful pictureThe next jeep the family built in 1976 started with a factory ordered CJ-7 frame. They stretched a Bobcat body 13″ and installed a Chevy 350/350 LT1 motor set back 8″ with a B&M Turbo 400 w/reverse manual shifter. They added a Wagoner 44 in the rear and a Scout 44 in the front. They raced the jeep in SCORE events, ran the Mint 400 four times, and tried the BAJA 500 in 1980, but DNF’d.  The first picture below is from Riverside and the second from the Mint 400.

riversite-flattie-ed-bray mint-400-flattie-ed-brayEd’s father Don died in 2001. Ed has been refurbishing the family CJ-3A that started it all.
