It looks like the seller put some effort into this rebuild.

“1946 WILLYS CJ2A, 2.5″ SPRINGLI, FT, 36″ SUPER SWAMPER TIRES, T18 FORD 4SPEED w/LOW 1ST GEAR, 1970 JEEP/BUICK 225 V6 (DAUNTLESS CROSSFIRE) WAS BUILT BY ENG.-MACHINE SHOP – BORED & STROCKED TO 3.9 LITER, 1983 DANA 30 FRONT & DANA 44 REAR W/ ARB AIR LOCKERS FRONT & REAR, DISC.

If you are looking for an early CJ-2A, this has got some good elements, including the driver’s side cutouts, the column shifter, and a heater. The passenger side fuel hole is interesting; I don’t believe that was stock?

“This early CJ-2A has an ID number of 16741. It is a 3 speed on the tree. It has a clear MO title. Below is the description: Motor – Org. 4 cylinder. Just got back from machine shop. All four cylinders were re-sleeved. Crank was polished. New pistons, valves, springs, etc Everything still in boxes as you can see by the pictures. Interior – I have no seats. Does have a roll bar. Floor is solid, except for the “bed”. It should be cut out and fitted with new metal. Exterior – The only rust I can see is the passage side step.Some of the Hat Channel underneath will need to be cut (maybe 3 feet) Tailgate is orginal, but is pretty rough. I have no windshield and I don’t believe the hood is org. because there is no Willys stamped on it.”

Looks like there’s the typical door rust. However, it’s running and there is extra parts.

“This Truck is a 1959 Willy’s Jeep (Mileage unknown )it runs Good and has lots of extras that will go with it, Extra frame, Motor, Drive-train all in Good condition as well I assume although have never had time to rebuild. everything was bought with the intention of using as extra parts and the Jeep wont die.”

When I built my last jeep, I removed the wiring from a totaled Chevy Vega. Using schematics I copied at a library, I was able to sort out the wires and hook everything together. This time, I don’t have a wrecked Vega in the driveway. Moreover, I didn’t want to spend the time at the junkyard pulling one out of a wrecked vehicle. So, I made the decision to purchase a kit.

My first thought was to use a Painless Wiring Kit, but they seemed to be few and far between on Craigslist. So, I figured that I’d have to buy a new wiring kit. When I looked at the price of a new Painless Kit, I thought the price was a little high, so I turned to ebay to see what was available.

UPDATE: This has been relisted on eBay

It looks like it is sporting some newer springs with some lift, but otherwise is pretty stock. Appears in very good shape as does the trailer.

“This Jeep is in excellent condition! I was going to use this for mountain fun, but decided it was in to good of shape because it is vintage.It runs great and I have had no problems with it. Does leak a little oil. Very quiet and clean!There is ascratch in thepaint on the hood. I tried to show thisas best I could in the pictures.I bought it from a retired gentleman that had restored it and kept itin garage and so have I. Comes with bikini top, full soft top, hard side doors with matching paint, tow bar, two jeep manuals, an extra gasoline rack, harness seat belts. Tires are in excellent condition and the spare is new. ”

Small wins continue to push Gus forward. This weekend I finished hooking up the transmission lines to the transmission cooler. It’s a good think I pulled the lines apart and double checked them as one had a crack near the entry to the th350. A quick stop at Andy’s Supply in Boise and the crack was taken out and the line repaired (Boy, do they give great service!).

My radiator hoses were a challenge. I stopped in at my local Schucks and wandered back to their radiator hose area. After seeing that none of their hoses would work, I finally selected two that I could cut, bridge and fit. After cutting the hoses and bridging both radiator hoses (inlet and outlet) with a metal tube, I finally got a fit I can live with — however, it’s not a solution I’m thrilled about.

This is one of those situations I’m gonna let digest for a few days while I tackle some work projects and deal with replacing the waterpump on my 540i (which over the last month has seen the thermostat go bad [$100], the alternating belt break [$25], and the waterpump go [$150] — each requiring an online purchase and a week wait).

Don’s got a beautiful CJ-3B that he’s clearly spent a great deal of time building. Only a labor of love would produce details as unique as ‘a 4 barrel with a holley from a scout’. If you don’t see this weekly driver around town, then he’s likely in the the hills of Colorado.

Some stats:

• A 1954 CJ-3B that has the nomenclature plate for government service.
• 231 buick bored .030 balanced
• Eldebrock performer 4 barrel with a holley from a scout with a small venturi

UPDATE: The price has been reduced to $3500

Obviously, there’s been a few updates, and it sounds like good ones, to this jeep. Most interesting to me is the chain driven clutch. I’m not sure what the seller means by that.

“1943 flatfender jeep produced by ford for the war.. Not all original so if thats what your looking for this isnt it. But if you want a good driving fun flatfender this is the rig. Its got a buick 225 v6 that was rebuilt 4,xxx miles ago, saginaw power steering, swapped in dana 30 front end with disk brakes and warn hubs, rancho springs and shocks, t-14 3 speed full synchro tansmission with a warn overdrive, full k line soft top in decent shape, chain driven clutch makes it easier to engage, Good body with minimal rust, larger gastank, electic fuel pump with shut off switch, spare tire carrier, …..

UPDATE: Don has said he’ll purchase the headers. Apparently his son is building a ’52 flattie with a V6. Ironically, Don is in Colorado and Colorado is where I purchased my newest set off of craigslist.

Wait, this is my ad … I’m selling this set of headers because I found a set of chrome V6 headers in Colorado that John will be sending me tomorrow that ‘should’ fit.

“I’ve got a brand new set of jeep fenderwell headers for sale that I bought several months ago. These fit Buick V6s (225, 231, 3.8L). I bought these brand new for my jeep, but the way my engine is configured, they were angled in such a way that they don’t quite fit.

These should fit fine on a normal jeep application. They’d fit fine on my jeep if I had a shorter tranny, but the longer tranny pushed the engine farther forward and higher. You can see how my old headers fit but the new ones didn’t here at my ewillys website: http://www.ewillys.com/?p=765. ”

I’ve been a little side tracked from Gus due to a recent neighbor’s problem with a mail box — her son hit another neighbor’s mail box with her car, damaging the mail box (it’s actually two mailboxes and paper boxes that sit on a single pole). By now, the whole neighbor knows me as the ‘guy with a jeep’; so, it was only a matter of time before it was my welder to the rescue (ok, it was a bit more complicated than that).

Now, back on track, I’ve made some progress on some trivial details.

Oil Filtering System: When I bought my V6, the seller included an external dual oil filter system. I decided to install the system because (1) I would increase the available oil in the system, (2) having the filters external of the engine would reduce engine oil temperatures, and (3) having two oil filters would help with the engine oil temperatures even more. Since I’m of the opinion that my last engine blew up due to oiling problems (though that was a much older 225 engine), I’m hoping this helps stalls potential problems. I’ve also been on the phone with TAPerformance and they suggested the use of a specific pressure spring for use in buick engines with high pressure attachments.

In the image, you can see how the oil filters will sit above the filter base and the hoses will wind down to the oil filter and the forward, passenger side of the engine.

Combination Valve: A Combination Valve is simply a proportioning valve and a pressure differential valve that is combined into one unit. I got one from a junk yard early 90s cherokee. I grabbed the valve, the valve bracket and some of the lines. The lines between the valve and the master cylinder were long enough that I can attach the valve to the frame. So, I welded a small bracket to the frame and now the valve bolts to the frame.

In the image, the valve looks very close to the front of the tranny, but fortunately, there’s plenty of room.

This looks like a very solid, clean CJ-2A. I think the opening bid price on this is pretty reasonable.

“You are bidding on an original rarely seen 1947 Willys Jeep CJ-2A that has been mechanically restored to use as an excellent daily driver, cruise nights, a shore summer house Jeep conv. or off-road 4×4. It is an original Willys Jeep CJ-2A 4×4 it now has a back seat, with full bucket seat interior, electric wipers, 3 speed manual transmission many great upgrades and so much more.”

Brian found this unique ’46 on eBay. No doubt there’s a certain personal touch to this CJ-2A.

“For sale I have a 1946 Willys CJ2A Jeep. It runs good, all 4 WD works properly. It needs rear brake drum installed, I have the drum. It has all new brake shoes and wheel cylinders, duel rear wheels needs wiring work for lights to all work. The jeep was my dads he had it since 1962 it was always kept in the garage.

An olds V6? It’s so uncommon, that I had to look up the engine to learn more about it. According to Wikipedia, a version of the Buick 231 or 3800L was used between 1975-1980 in the Starfire GT. The only difference I can see is that the alternator is on the driver’s side rather than the passenger side. I’m not sure where the powersteering pump is located.

“Nice running flat fender Willys CJ2A. Olds V6 w/recent valve job. Headers. Stock transfer and trans. P/S, manual brakes. New battery and alternator. 12 volt conversion. Rebuilt carb, master cyl. All new brakes. Tires are fair, with matching new spare (not shown). High lift jack. Roll cage. Soft top with doors. (not shown). Gas tank relocated under rear deck. Stock tank removed but included. Tow bar. Oversized radiator. Warn winch included but not mounted. (Had been mounted so all holes are there). Old AM/FM/Cassette, No Speakers mounted. Old CB. 408-988-0668 M-F. 8:00-4:30”

UPDATE: Price is now $1500

This jeep sports the same seats (driver’s seat and rear passenger seat) that I have. I could use those seat covers!

“set up for sand, 2wd dana 44 with 5.13 gears and a spool, ladder bars, 400 small block with 2.05 valve heads, screw in studs, guide plates and port work, roller rockers, aluminum intake, holley carb, th350 thrans with shift kit and 3500 stall, auto meter gauges, has been sitting for a long time and needs carb rebuilt and a few other things to run. $1500 obo or $800 with out motor and trans”

This trail jeep seems reasonably priced.

“Selling my trail rig. It is street legal but I trailer it around. It has a built 360, T15/D20, d44/d30 locked in rear, New custom drivelines, 5in of lift (used to be S.O. w/36’s I lowered it back down) 33″ wildcats with spare. 10klb Warn winch with remote, Cd player, Full roll cage, I have the soft top for it, but it needs a little sewing work done (its all there though). It has all the lighting you will ever need, Engine runs at about 80-90psi oil presure. Oversized radiator means it never overheats on the trail. The is an awsome trail jeep. I just dont have time to use it anymore…. Les T. 253-905-5500”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000

This is jeep is a collection of various parts. Perhaps the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.

“1950 Willys M-38 Flatfender Jeep, Buick 231 V-6, 400 Turbo auto trans, Dana 20 T/C. Centered Dana 44 rear end. Dana 30 front 3.73 gears. Tub is virtually rust free. On a DJ-5 frame, rides and drives like a new Jeep, just needs you to pick a color and paint it. “

This started out at $3500, but the price has dropped to $2500. There’s definitately some rust on this one.

“Early 60’s foreward control Jeep.Been in a barn for 5 years. Got it started and drove it around. Engine is great, trans and transfer work ok. Brakes need bled but work. Driver and passenger floorboards need repair, but usable.Rear cab corners rusted but small enough to repair with fibreglass i think.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.

Note the indents on the passenger side. This is likely a reproduction body. Seems like a pretty good price.

“RUNS GOOD, V6, 4 SPEED, POWER STEERING, OVERSIZED BRAKES,4X4, NEEDS A LITTLE TLC.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.

How about this great looking CJ-3B with only 32K miles. Looks pretty stock.

“I have an original 1962 CJ3B with less than 32,000 miles on it. The paint has been touched up but is still sea foam green. Kelly hardtop side steps, there was some slight rust on the passenger floor brace which has been repaired. I have the original wheels and new 15 inch bias ply tires. This jeep also has the PTO winch installed as well as I have the PTO to Warn overdrive adapter by Herm the OD guy. (no overdrive) Can send photos. $5000 Washington State.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2250.

Looks like it needs some work. The price will likely drop some.

“1946 Willys Jeep CJ2A, same owner since 1971, was a farm Jeep, stock motor/trans., not butchered – great project. Runs and drives good, needs wiring/lights,top,other work.

Vivek purchased a 1967 CJ-3B right hand drive Mahindra at the end of 2004. According to his early blog notes, the jeep barely started, was missing the front drive line, and generally needed a lot of work. When he finally did pick it up, on the way back it stalled, requiring the help of some local builders to move it out of the way of a bus. Fast forward several years later and you can see Vivek and his CJ-3B pictured on the right.

Among Vivek’s challenges was his effort to get the papers. Not only were the papers absent, but apparently the owner wanted to sell the jeep, but the owner’s son did not. It took a few weeks before Vivek could get the original papers, insisting the owner drop the price slightly further for all the trouble the owner caused him. You can read about the purchase here.

Learn more about Vivek’s recent engine rebuild, the jeep club he belongs to, and some recent jeeping pictures. Also, check out Vivek’s friend UBS and his one-of-a-kind jeep collection.

Vivek’s working for the next few months in Milipitas, California. When he heads back in December, he hopes to take back a lift kit with him. If anyone has any suggestions, comment below.

UPDATE:**SOLD** Was $2800

Since it’s been trailered, maybe the running gear’s in good shape?
