For sale?
Well all, the time may be coming to send one or more of my beloved Jeeps on to new homes. I've recently become unemployed, so my finances are strained. The doesnt concern me much though, as a new job should be coming soon. But I'll be so busy playing catch-up on bills with that money, that my dream of purchasing/ owning/ building an Early Bronco may not be realised...and my mother is getting tired of yard clutter. So if I want a Bronco, at least one Willys will have to go to finance it and provide yard space- but I have no idea what these fine old vehicles are worth, so I'm hoping someone can help me.
First up is a 1948 CJ-2A. It's complete, minus the seats. It doesnt run, as I purchased it out of a field where it had been sitting for years. I havent even tried starting it. I removed the body right after I got the Jeep in a zealous attempt at a restoration. The body is here, but it's shot. I attacked it with a Sawzall when I removed it, but only because it was rusting. The previous owners had attempted to fix it by pop- riveting sheet metal over the rust. However, despite all this, the Jeep does have an 8,000 pound PTO driven Ramsey winch on the front of it, complete with the driveshaft and gearbox. It also has locking hubs on the front axle, as opposed to flanges.
The next one isnt really a Jeep, it's just kind of a half- Jeep. The body is a CJ-3A body that the previous owners said was modified for a Chevy 350. All I have is that body, a frame, the suspension, and the axles. The front axle also has locking hubs.
The last one, and the one I'm most reluctant to let go of, is a 1958 Willys CJ-3B Tuxedo Park. It runs, though it does need an engine rebuild. The front axle kingpins need rebuilding, as the Jeep has steering issues. This tub also has issues, but it would be salvageable with a lot of work. Like the other two, it needs paint and seats. I have a steel halfcab for it, though.
With the current market and such, what could I expect each of these to bring, if I were to sell them, or trade them?
Thanks,
Blake
