Price: US $200.00

Description:

Hello...
Up for sale is a fun little Willys Jeep. I have been working on this project for the better part of 10 months mostly replacing parts (old with new) and putting it back to a mostly stock look. It's an awesome little Jeep that absolutely turns heads and gets loads of attention on the road. Please read the entire description. I have done my best to list all the good and bad with the vehicle. HAPPY BIDDING!
Some of the specs on the vehicle:
It is a CJ2A body but it is titled as a 1962 Willys. I was told by the previous owner that it was built on a 1962 CJ5 chassis, and in going through everything this pretty much seems to be the case.
Body tub, fenders, grill are ALL fiberglass
. The windshield frame is the only body part that is steel. I would say that the tub is fairly decent and sturdy as far as fiberglass goes. If I kept it I would put a steel hood on it, but that's just me.Transmission is a Saginaw 4 speed - I never use first it's geared so low and currently 4th gear requires a triple clutch pump or it will make noise when shifting into it. I believe it needs the 4th gear synchro replaced. The Saginaw is cheap to replace and cheaper to rebuild. I just haven't gotten to doing either. If it doesn't sell I'm sure I'll just rebuild it this winter.
Transfer case is the famous Dana Spicer 18, the transfer case that won World War II! No issues with 4WD or the high/low.
Engine is a nice running Buick 225, the Dauntless V6. Plenty of power, plenty of torque, and that distinct oddfire sound!Some of the things I have done to the Jeep over the past months:
New spark plugsNew DUI distributor with 11mm wiresAll new wiring from front to back with a fuse panel addedSome new gaugesNew tail lightsNew shocksNew front seats (they are boat seats by the way)Added a used rear seat
All new seat belts
All new brakes and hardwareNew e-brake cableNew hood blocksUpdated to an Optima batteryNew side mirrorNew clutch slave cylinder
New rear view mirrorFreshly painted wheelsPainted body a few weeks agoNew 4WD front hub sealsNew oil pan and oil pump gasketsInside of tub herculined but could use another coat to be perfectNew Turn signal unitNew steering wheelNew windshield to body sealNew master cylinderNew ignition
Brand new single exhaust with Y pipeChassis painted with POR15Drag link repair kit installedRebuilt Edelbrock 500CFM carburetor
New CJ5 fuel tank, sending unit, and filler hose installed. Mounted underneath in the rear. You aren't sitting on 12 gallons of flammable liquid like most CJ2AsNew speedometer cable
It only has the minor occasional oil drip, these things like to mark their territory. It runs very well isn't too loud isn't too quite. Includes a full soft top with doors in perfect shape outside of 1- 1 tear in the rear window that really isn't even visible noticeable. Most of the time I have the rear window rolled up anyway.
What it needs is the following (which doesn't prevent you from driving and enjoying it as is):
I would replace the tie rod ends in the front steering as they are pretty worn, you can find a kit for these on Ebay for $75, again I will most likely do this over the winter if it doesn't sell.
I have had it on the road at highway speeds and it handles fine (for a vehicle it's age). I have, at slower speeds, hit large bumps that have caused a lot of front end shaking. I believe this is due to the worn out tie rods. It also doesn't currently have any steering stabilizer installed.
The fuel sending unit/gauge needs to be adjusted. It shows full WAY to long.
I have the windshield wiper motors but they aren't installed. I just need new blades and to wire it.
I would replace the 4th gear synchro for smoother shifting into 4th. (I would personally just buy a rebuild kit on Ebay for $89 and do it over the winter)Windshield is fine but very scratched. I would probably ultimately take it to a glass shop and have them cut a new one for it.
