“This is my dad’s 1947 Willy’s CJ2A. He put an original military grill on it, bolted on simulated body armor, and installed military wheels and a pedestal mount for a completely fake, but very realistic all steel 1917 machine gun model (not included unless you buy the 1917 also). He used this jeep for WW2 reenactments, mainly in the 1980s and early 1990s. He recently passed and we are selling it. It was last driving in 2018 when it was parked and does not currently run.

Frame is good needs body work. I assume the purchaser will unbolt and remove the fake armor (wood) and restore it. I will include the original 7 slot grill and headlight assembly and the original tailgate. I will also include the original passenger seat, which will need to be redone. There is no title and my dad has owned this jeep since the early 1970s. It was always garaged. $3200 or best offer. Yes, the 1917 reproduction model is available. It is a model, it is not real, nor does it function in any way. It’s a dummy.”
