It looks like the tank has been moved to the rear.

“For sale is my 1948 Willys CJ2a – $4,000.00. Great little jeep for driving around town and catching everyones eye or driving back in the woods to get your deer.

The Good:
It has all the original running gear (all the gears R, 1-3, low/high, 4×2 and 4×4 work)
The body has been redone to remove all the rust and replaced with new metal.
It has about 30K miles on it and runs great.
Stops well with solid brake system (original drum brakes so doesn’t stop on a dime like modern cars, can send a link for a conversion if you like, but they work fine)
Paint is Jeep Rescue Green (the green that Jeep is currently using on their new Wranglers)
Clean and Clear title in hand!

What needs to be done:
Exhaust, no muffler on it right now. I can send you a link where you can buy a complete (from header to tailpipe) orignial exhuast for 180 bucks.
Fan belt squeeks (old dried out fan belt may be replaced just depends on if it sells before i can get to the store and get a new one)

For less than the price of a 4 wheeler you can do all the same great stuff and drive it on the road with some style. Serious Inquirys only please 704-880-5939, love to talk about the jeep but can’t do it with everyone.”

Marc spotted this flattie for sale.

“My son Jarred spotted this for sale in Springs (where I live) yesterday. We both went to look at it today.
Would you please post this on eWillys Dave.
It is a 1947 CJ-2A with s/n # 88706 being sold privately at a second hand car dealership (Anrecha Auto, Tel. +27 11 362 2243), so I have absolutely nothing to do with this sale. Maybe someone from here (RSA) will see the post and she will go to good home……………if only I could buy her I certainly would.

1) No data plate in engine bay, only the frame tag is still attached.
2) The type plate in the front passenger side is MIA.
3) Engine has been replaced with a Toyota 2.1 4Y petrol engine (installation look neat)
4) Gearbox set up looks normal but the salesman did not know the type but said the owner stated it was Toyota??
5) None standard fuel tank, it is home made but looks the part and I think it may be stainless.
6) Aftermarket CJ-2A windscreen.
7) Non standard tail gate mounted spare wheel which has broken the tail gate which has been
modified with other hinges.
8) All seems straight but the paint job is a “look nice”only as there appears to be body filler in
places and there is visible rust all round.
9) 3 small tail lights fitted on both left and right sides.
10) Top hat sections/hat channels have seen better days as they have rusted through.
11) No speedo but the other instruments look non standard.
12) Body has been lifted, by what looks like 2-inches with round rubber blocks to clear the
engine height for the hood/bonnet.
13) R 65 000 South African rand’s appears to be a little harsh for what this is and the overall
condition.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $650

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $400.

The seller has additional parts.

“Ive been in the old Willys jeep hobby for the last 10 years but am never going to get around to restoring or using all my CJ parts and I feel like cleaning house.

What Ive got is a 2a-3a rolling chassis = axles, wheels and tires, frame, springs, and engine. I dont have a body to go with it, but I do have odd body parts – two windshields, two hoods, fenders, old exhaust that seems solid but is rusty on the outside. All parts need work to be a jeep. This is a good starting point for a restoration, whether you want a factory fresh jeep or just a hunting/bash around jeep. The stuff in this paragraph is $400.

Ive also got other various parts – a few starters, radiators, distributors, even some seat cushions. If you’re interested in enough of the other parts, I can make you a deal on it all.

I tried to sell this last summer, but I think I was asking too much at the time and am ready to simply let it go. If you’ve looked at project jeeps you know this is a good deal. Come by this wkend and take a look.”

UPDATE: Still Available

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was$6199.I found the referenced article and commented on it.

(03/01/2010) This jeep hasn’t been run in about 5 years. It needs a few items addressed.

“This 66 year old Jeep is one of the first commercial Jeeps manufactured after WW 2 and has been in protected storage for over 16 years. It was last run about 6 years ago. Carburetor cleaned at that time. It has a 12 volt starting system instead of 6 volt Has a soft top, and a bikini top too. Tow bar. Roll bar. Rear seat. 15 inch, not 16 inch, tires have little mileage. Carburetor was new in 1990. Over 100,000 miles on the odometer. Rebuilt 4-cylinder engine with less than 5,000 miles. Replacement parts include the two front metal fenders and added aluminum rear panels and heavy-duty front bumper. Has a swing out spare tire carrier, military gas cans maybe be mounted either side of spare tire. Repairs needed: gas tank leaks (pin hole). The master brake cylinder needs to be inspected or repaired. Seat frames are original with Naugahyde covered foam covering which either needs to be replaced or seat covers installed. The exhaust pipe needs to be reconnected to exhaust manifold and tail pipe, maybe muffler, needs replacing.Automobile magazine for July, 2013 estimates that restored CJ2A jeeps now retail from $12,500 to $20,000.”
