Description
1947 Willys CJ-2A – Exceptionally Original, Museum-Quality Example with
its original factory paint and presented in truly exceptional condition.
This Jeep was stored for approximately 25 years prior to my ownership and has since been carefully recommissioned and rebuilt with great respect for originality. The result is a vehicle that can only be described as museum condition.
There is minor historic rust limited to a small area below the spare wheel and a tiny hole beneath the fuel tank. Both areas have been properly treated, with no further issues. The body and chassis present extremely well overall, especially considering the vehicle’s age and originality.
A rare opportunity to acquire an honest, unmolested CJ-2A with this level of originality, history, and presentation. Ideal for collectors, museums, or serious Willys enthusiasts.
The colour is the original Luton red that's never been re painted from new. The windscreen fram has side arms that are not original. This was fitted by the original owner.
Number 4 exhaust out let has a small crack on the outside that sometimes weeps while standing. The original trico vacume windscreen motor needs to be refurbished.
Open to reasonable offersI bought this Willys Jeep CJ2A 1947 Civilian Model because it’s a piece of history and one of the original Jeeps designed for everyday people, not the military. What makes it stand out is its classic simplicity and rugged design—the flat fenders, round headlights, and that unmistakable Jeep silhouette that’s been iconic for decades.
What makes this Jeep truly unique is its original 1947 civilian features, built for utility and adventure. Unlike later models, it keeps the authentic charm and hands-on experience of driving a vintage Jeep.
My favourite thing about this beauty? Its personality. Every scratch, every detail, every gear shift tells a story of a time when vehicles were built to last and built to do. Driving it isn’t just transportation—it’s a connection to history.
