UPDATE: Still Available.
(05/12/2015) This appears to have a DJ body, but the serial number is marked as 263130, which is quite a bit larger than the latest CJ-2A serial number (224764) listed on the CJ-2A site.

"1949 is the year of the fewest CJ2A flat fender jeeps. This Willys Jeeps appears to be the first of the DJ (Dispatch Jeep) ever made...it has a rear fuel tank instead of under the seat...it also has easy entry/exit side panel...my guess is the dispatches were stored under the seat & the side panels were removed because couriers would have to get in & out a lot...I put bucket high back seats because comfort was important because I use this old girl every day it doesn't rain...
I was in the SeaBees VietNam 64-66 so I decked this jeep out as a U S Navy jeep...I had it bored & crank turned plus a solex carb for more power...it runs nice & is a real head turner...when I go to the VA all the other old timers gather round & remember good times in a Jeep...I'm only selling because I'm about done with my 1956 CJ6/M-170 which is similar to the one I built out of parts from blown-up jeeps on ChuLai Beach in 1965...I love this old jeep but I've had fun with it ...
I've taken it on camping trips & to dirt track races... I'd like to see someone else get joy out of it & I could use the money to finish out the 56... NBG-1 stands for Naval Beach Group One & ACB-1 stands for Amphibious Construction Battalion One... Insurance is only $11--/month AmericanCollectors.com & a lifetime Antique License is around $20--...it has a very nice tow bar & tows like a dream... It has a small rear main seal oil leak but I haven't fixed it since this model doesn't have a oil filter it's good to put fresh oil in from time to time...text or call for more infoation"
