1947 CJ-2A Washington State eBay

UPDATE:  This is back on eBay

(11/14/2012) This looks nice. It has a clever spare tire holder that uses part of the PTO bar. It’s worth a look.  The  custom undercarriage is lower than usual.

” 1947 Willys CJ2a. This is an easy driver for anyone. It was built for my mother to drive around. It has all the great Willys jeep modifications including:
Saginaw power steering
Buick 231 V6
Dana 44 rear, Dana 27 front, 3:73 gears.
Turbo 350 automatic transmission with single stick Dana 20 transfer-case.
Adjustable front bucket seats (Drivers side has the wheel-well “notched” for more adjustment room- I am almost 6’3″ and can drive this comfortably.
Vent in windshield frame that can be opened for air flow (See pics)
Dome lights wired in hard top
M38 Military lightweight Arctic Top.
Swing out spare tire (see pics)
Two “stock style” gas tanks on passenger and drivers sides.
Near NEW tires

This Jeep was never used off the road. It will get around town and fly down the freeway just fine. This is a really snappy rig and will take off at the drop of hat. It gets lots of looks going down the road. The only trouble is the gas gauge which needs worked on and a small chip in the windshield which has a “glass sticker” on it to keep it from spreading. Please ask any questions. I am selling this in cooperation with my father.

The work was completed about 10 years ago on the jeep. It has always been garaged and rarely driven in the rain. It was a spring and summertime driver.
Alas, it’s top will keep you warm and dry (has heater and defroster). In heavy water (such as during washing or heavy rain) some water will gather in the front floor boards. We always just put a towel down there when washing. Someone could easily track the source of the water getting in, we just never did as it was a nice day driver.”

1963 CJ-3B Staunton, VA **SOLD**

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2250

(03/11/2012) “For sale: 1963 CJ3b
This CJ is among the last of the Willys branded ever made. There has been 3 owners in its lifetime. The Jeep was redone in the early 80s by the second owner. I got this Jeep 6 years ago.
This is a project.
I am roughly 60-70% done with it. I rebuilt the engine, transmission, transfer case, both differentials, upgraded the brakes (everything new), painted the frame with rust inhibiting paint, and a few other thing here and there.

What need to be done to finish this project is to finish installing some of the drive-line components, steering parts would need to be replaced ($15 for a tie rod end), cooling system installed, some bodywork, and the electrical system.

The body is rough, however replacement bodies are available. the hardtop is solid and all glass is in good shape.

I have almost everything one would need to finish this project, and all will go with.

This CJ is a rare find. It would be a perfect project for someone just getting into working on cars and trucks as a hobby, or someone who would lake to make it into an off road toy (as I was doing) This Jeep has a clear title and would be easy to get it back on the road. Parts new and used for these Jeeps are readily available.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.

Brett spotted this one. It is supposed to have military axles.  It might have a military body, too. It’s worth a look. It’s got a Kelly hardtop.

“This jeep will run with a new distributor. I have one- just no time to put it in. Has the military axles, and is fairly clean.”

UPDATE: Orange jeep was for sale here in 2012. **Sold in late 2012 (listed for $5500 with another jeep). Relisted in 2015 with a hood bumped added.

This appears to have a fiberglass body, but I can’t tell for sure.  This was for sale back in April.  Since then it looks like it was painted. The top has definitely been painted.

“Have 1948 willys jeep with snow plow and lots of extra and New parts Have a 1946 willys to go with asking price or will separate. Has new tires,rims, springs, battery, hood. To much to list”

Steve spotted this photo of an Armoured CJ-5 used by Armoured Banking Services to transport cash.  On July 26th, 1966,  this jeep was used to ferry cash to the Veterans Administration. A couple of men decided to make a withdrawal from the two employees carrying the cash into VA building, knocking them down with a submachine guns.  You can read the whole story in the article below the eBay photo.
