UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2900

“Tub number: 99803 aprx date of manufacture July 3rd 1944
Titled: Yes
Nomenclature plates: none

Info:
Jeep was originally purchased in 1960’s and used extensively on vineyard land as a family tour vehicle.
The condition of the frame shows some rear cross member damage and the front cross member has a rust hole in it but all is within your normal “fixable” range of condition.
The body tub tool box floors are rotted through and there is patch work to the floors in places.
Modifications include:
Home made tow bar assembly
M38 – CJ front windscreen with no wipers
Front seat frames back rest repaired with newer tubing
No rear seat
No top bows or brackets
No body handles or hardware
Tub was skinned on the front sides and seams bondoed
CJ radiator
Homemade wiring to tail-lights
After market tail-lights
Ford truck wheels- 16 inch rims- 650 mud and snow tires in good shape (no spare)
After market speedometer
Period correct reproduction Temp, oil pressure and voltage meter and key switch.
No nomenclature plates.

Engine and drive-line:
The engine shows a compression reading of
1- 100 lbs
2- 86
3- 85
4- 100
The engine may need a valve adjustment but appears to run fine. Components work off of the original 6 volt system.
The heat riser is stuck and needs to be serviced.
The transmission shifts and performs normally.
Some oil seepage mixed with dirt is present but no major oil leakage on the ground.
Proper air cleaner, cross over tube, oil filter housing. The carburetor is a CJ (636-SA) Carter in good running order.

Conclusion:
This Jeep has been driven slow most all of it’s life. The running gear and motor are in good useable condition. The body is good for hunting and gathering but obviously not for show. A full restoration is possible but the Jeep would need a lot of correct style components so the cost may be prohibitive.
This Jeep would be best used as a….Vineyard Jeep or hunting.”

(01/02/2011) This appears to have an unusual bar on the passenger side spanning across the rear wheel well.

“I have the title in hand, with current registered black plates.

This is a nice old jeep. It has a Willys MB hood. This was one of the first Ford keeps made. The frame serial number is GPW 10792* (yes it is a star, not a missing number) The body does not have a serial number, which is correct for the early 42 jeeps. The motor serial is 171304, so it isn’t the original motor but it is still the correct L134
It has a Volvo gas tank behind the seats in the cargo area. The steering column and seats are vw.
The body and undercarriage are solid.
I had the starter rebuilt last year.

Has locking/non-locking front axle so it can be towed. Also has light hookup like a trailer for towing.

Has a black top and doors that come with it.

The bad- I had ezlube change the oil and 2 months later, I found out the oil had been leaking out of the drain plug. I found out when the motor stopped running. This just happened in mid August. Prior to this, I had put a new battery in it and used it daily for a 12 mile commute. Tranny and 4wd work great.”

A reader wondered why the price was so high. I wonder that too.

“Original Owner, 1948 Willys Jeep, CJ2A. This is an original owner vehicle that has been in the family since new, for 63 years. It has the original tires, top, and all other equipment as it did when it was picked up at the Jeep/Mack dealer in 1948. This vehicle has been kept in near pristine condition with no rust or dents. Still titled in the original owners name. The like new original owners manual is also included in the sale. This vehicle has been driven between 250-300 miles per year its whole life. It has about 150 miles on it so far this year. This is a once in a lifetime barn-find American icon that even has the only option available in 1948 which is all of the chrome beauty rings on the wheels and the spare.”
