If you have been looking for a classic car that gains tons of attention and is an absolute blast to drive; look no further. Having been beautifully restored as a tribute to the World War II workhorse Jeeps, complete with overdrive and mechanically flawless; this jeep is exactly what you have been looking for. The owners of this 1947 Willy's CJ2A started the project with a 3 owner vehicle that had always lived in the same area of the state. This Jeep was sold new less than 10 miles from her current location. The idea was to restore the vehicle and turn it into a tribute to the U.S. Jeeps that served during WWII in Northern Africa. Everyone has seen the olive drab green Jeeps from this time period, but the often forgotten and rare Willy's Jeeps that patrolled Northern Africa during the war were desert tan. The stars were added to the hood, windshield frame and rear quarters. The rear handles, jerry can and holder and the spare tire drop down mount were added. Today this beautifully restored CJ-2A draws every eye as she rolls down the road. During the restoration the body of the jeep was completely disassembled. The body was all sanded down and/or sand blasted. All of the rusted areas were cut out and replaced correctly. The entire jeep was then primed and painted with 3 coats of the correct Desert Tan flat paint. The underside and floor pans were covered in a protective rubberized finish, to ensure years of enjoyment. The mechanics of this jeep were all gone through. The gas tank was pulled, blasted, painted, cleaned, and re-installed with the addition of a new fuel sending unit. The brakes were all gone through, adjusted and reworked or replaced. The original exhaust manifold did have a crack, so a brand new unit was installed. The engine, transmission, and transfer case have all been overhauled. Every gauge on the dash works exactly as it should. The vacuum controlled wiper system was all rebuilt and works exactly as it did in 1947, when this Jeep left the factory. The result is a jeep that fires right up and is ready to go anywhere her new owner wishes to take her with the reliability and comfort that you would expect from a new jeep. The interior seats were professionally recovered in a flat black marine grade vinyl. The cushion springs were all checked and new foam padding added. As we mentioned earlier the flooring was finished in a rubberized coating to provide worry free years of enjoyment. Whatever adventure you get into with this 1947 Willy's Jeep CJ2A, do it knowing the interior is waterproof and can easily be rinsed out. This 1947 Willy's Jeep CJ2A WWII North Africa Division tribute is sure to be a blast and will certainly bring years of enjoyment to come. The JEEP has a clean and clear title and is ready for the new owner. As this vehicle is for sale locally, we do reserve the right to end the auction early.
