Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars Houston Showroom is proud to offer this
beautifully crafted 1949 Willys CJ2A for sale. This iconic vehicle
is adorned with a striking copper exterior color that harks back to
its rugged, adventurous spirit. The Willys CJ2A combines classic
aesthetics with remarkable functionality, making it an ideal choice
for those who appreciate vintage craftsmanship and enduring
appeal.This little piece of history comes with receipts totaling
nearly $20K invested in the restoration. During the restoration,
the engine was overhauled and was bored .030, with hardened valve
seats installed for unleaded fuel compatibility. The differential
housings received new bearings, seals, and gaskets, as did the
transfer case and the transmission, because they were all in very
good condition to begin with. The body parts were blasted to bare
metal and thoroughly refinished. Step inside and you'll be greeted
by a harmonious blend of style and comfort. Behind the new
windshield, the interior features a completely reconditioned 1948
Willys Jeep CJ2A instrument cluster, with refinished gauge faces,
and the fuel gauge was converted to 12-volt compatibility. The
seats feature copper-accented white synthetic leather, offering a
refined contrast to the bold exterior, while maintaining ease of
cleaning. This thoughtful design choice not only enhances the
visual appeal but also ensures a pleasant experience for both
driver and passengers. Every journey in this vehicle is a testament
to its enduring design and the thorough attention to detail that
went into its restoration.Under the hood, the 1949 Willys CJ2A is
powered by a robust 4-cylinder engine, paired with a 3-speed manual
transmission. This combination delivers a driving experience that
is both engaging and reliable, true to the utilitarian spirit of
the original Jeep design. The manual transmission allows for
complete driver control, making it a great fit for those who relish
the connection between man and machine.Adding to its classic
appeal, this Willys CJ2A is equipped with military bias ply tires.
These tires not only contribute to the authentic look of the
vehicle but also provide a unique driving experience reminiscent of
its storied past. The CJ2A is a vehicle that embodies the spirit of
adventure, ready to tackle a variety of terrains with poise and
confidence. Don't miss out on this piece of history - call or email
