1948 WILLYS JEEP CJ2A 179377, STARTS, RUNS, DRIVES AND STOPS, STARTS RIGHT UP (ALMOST BEFORE YOU TURN KEY LOOSE). REPAINTED IN WWII OLIVE DRAB PAINT WITH STARS, (IT IS NOT A WWII JEEP) ONLY PAINTED TO LOOK LIKE ONE. THESE OLD JEEPS HAVE USUALLY SIT A LONG TIME WHEN WE GET THEM AND MOST OF THE TIME THEY SMOKE WHEN STARTED AND STOP SMOKING AFTER DRIVEN AWHILE, WELL, THIS ONE STILL SMOKES, IT MAY STOP WHEN DRIVEN LONGER AS MY BROTHER AND HIS BUDDY DROVE IT AROUND IN EASTERN OKLAHOMA MOUNTAINS FOR ABOUT FOUR HOURS AND IT ALMOST QUIT SMOKING. NEVER GOT HOT ANY TIME IN THE MOUNTAINS, ALTHOUGH I THINK A SET OF RINGS WOULD FIX IT, AS IT HAS 155 TO 160 PSI COMPRESSION. I AM INCLUDING AN EXTRA ENGINE, A LATER MODEL "F" HEAD, (THEY HAVE MORE HORSEPOWER THAT THE FLATHEAD ENGINE), THAT CAME OUT OF A WWII FORD JEEP THAT WAS RESTORED, IT RAN GOOD AND STRONG, NO NOISE OR SMOKING. THE THROW-OUT BEARING MAKES A LITTLE NOISE, BUT DOES NOT AFFECT THE SHIFTING, FOUR WHEEL DRIVE WORKS GOOD, STEERS PRETTY GOOD FOR AN OLD JEEP, HAS 12 VOLT ELECTRIC WITH ALTERNATOR, NEW GAS TANK, HAS A HEAVY STEEL LINKAGE SHIELD, NEW WWII OD PAINT, NEW OD CANVAS SEAT CUSHIONS, NEW SOLIX CARB, NEW GEAR SHIFS KNOBS, HAS HI-OUT-PUT STARTER. IT APPEARS THE PREVIOUS OWNERS JUST COVERED UP THE RUST SPOTS INSTEAD OF CUTTING THEM OUT, AS PHOTOS OF INSIDE FLOORS AND UNDERNEATH SHOW. WHEN ALL IS SAID, IT IS A FINE JEEP TO GO HAVE FUN IN AND PLAY LIKE JOHN WAYNE IN HIS WWII SHOWS, IT'S NOT PERFECT, BUT A GOOD HUNTING OR PLAYING JEEP. I WILL BE HAPPY TO TRY TO ANSWER ALL YOUR QUESTIONS AND GET MORE PHOTOS IF YOU NEED THEM, AS THERE IS NO WARRANTY EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. THIS IS A FIVE DAY AUCTION WITH A VERY LOW RESERVE. IT CAN BE SHIPPED OR TRANSPORTED WITH ENGINE IN BACK AS IT IS BOLTED TO A SKID. CERTIFIED PAYMENT WITHIN 5 DAYS OF AUCTION END AND MUST CLEAR MY BANK BEFORE PICK UP OR DELIVERY, WHICH IS THE BUYER'S RESPONSIBILITY. MY BROTHER AND I HAVE COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT WE ARE NO LONGER ABLE TO DO THE HEAVY MECHANICAL WORK THAT WE LOVED TO DO ON THESE OLD JEEPS, WE HAVE BEEN AROUND THESE OLD JEEP NEARLY ALL OUR LIFE, I HAVE DRIVEN A BRAND NEW 1946 CJ2A. I WAS ALWAYS GOING TO RETIRE AT 80, BUT I THINK I WILL RETIRE A LITTLE EARLIER. WE WILL BE FINISHING WHAT WE HAVE LIKE THIS ONE, JUST INCLUDE EXTRA ENGINES, THEN WE ARE GOING FISHING. UNLESS ONE SNEAKS IN MY YARD.
