"Willys 1948 cj2a jeep
Runs and drives

We have screen surround, seat covers and hood included
Fuel tank is present
Converted to 12v but all original parts kept
Original paperwork and nova certificate present

Any questions please ask"

================================

POST from Aug 2016 in Billings, Montana:

I've looked through my sprayer brochures from the Willys Overland Equipment books, but I didn't see this one in there. You can see some brochures from 1948 and compare them with this jeep.

"One of a kind Willy's Jeep, with factory spraying unit, in running condition."

This would make a great beer transportation unit! A microbrewery could put their logo on the tank & hire it out for outdoor parties.

Bill = kill joy ;-( I was really liking Steve's idea! Dreams don't have to be practical, do they?

That's pretty incredible! I tried to find it on UK eBay just now, but didn't have any luck. - Dave

Thanks Brian. I searched using cj2a and willys. I don't understand why it didn't pop up in my results. It sure looks like the same vehicle. That price is just insane! It looks like the buyer removed the spray equipment and the front hub caps. I'll update the post with the new ad and pics. - Dave

The UK seller originally advertised at a lower price complete with the tank, etc, but no bids were made. By the way he does have the hub caps) The ASKING prices of MBs, CJ2as, 3as and GPWs have all gone up significantly over the last few months but not many are actually selling. Take a look at these item numbers on eBay UK: 172379458799 , 282403961086 , 282414597270 , 282394344504 , 201858157399 I just wish I could buy a decent CJ2a or 3a at your USA prices!
