1948 Willys CJ-2A

• Bright red paint covers the flat-fender body, with a black soft top and soft doors fitted and large off-road tyres on black steel wheels.
• A heavy black A-frame tow bar is mounted on the front bumper, and a roll bar is fitted inside the tub.
• The paint and tub show scuffs, chips and wear in close views, and the underside of the raised hood shows heavy surface rust.
• Later light-grey front bucket seats and a tan rear bench are fitted, so the seating is mismatched and not original-style.
• The red painted dash carries a mix of round gauges, shows paint wear and extra holes, and the floors look used.
• The red rear load bed is painted metal with scratches and wear showing through.
• The engine bay holds a later V8 with a chrome air cleaner, with rust colouring on surrounding panels and wiring that looks home-routed.
• The underside photo shows heavy surface rust on the frame, axles and driveline throughout.

Money: At $10,950 the money buys a modified, usable trail Jeep rather than an original CJ-2A on this evidence; budget for underside rust treatment and sorting the non-original running gear, and originality can't be judged because so much has been changed.
