1947 Jeep Willys - $9,000

Recommended Posts

My sister got this as part of a divorce. She has kids to raise and this was a stupid purchase by her ex. I'm only sharing what she posted. If you are interested, I'll get you in touch with her. It is currently in Lancaster but she is working on getting it up to Columbus.

 

This was my winter project last year. I purchased this Willys locally (Lancaster) in August 2016. It now has many, Many, Many new high quality parts. It actually has $4,171 worth of new parts installed (see below). I also have all of the receipts for the parts on hand.

 

I have only driven Jeep maybe 60 miles in the year since purchasing as I just finished all of the work to the Jeep in July.

 

All work done was done properly and without cutting corners. This jeep is very nice, runs and drives great, and is very powerful. We are not in a hurry to sell this Jeep and are in no way interested in a trade, so please do not ask.

Update - Jeep is in Columbus and can be seen off Noe Bixby in the area between Broad and Main at my dad's place. He said it looks like her ex has some loose wires and doesn't know anything about cars, so he is planning to have someone look at it and make sure everything is as it should be.

 

My dad is having knee surgery either Friday or Monday but I can meet you at his place in the evenings. I work near his house and can be over after 4, or preferably after 6 so I can get some OT hours in :)

DUDE I've had that Jeep driving up and down my street. Loud as hell. The dude that was driving it, don't know if it was you, stalled it turning right onto my street. My family and i was just watching the guy struggle with simply taking off.

I thought the same thing. LOL

 

Definitely wasn't me. It's my sisters ex-husband's, she just got it in a divorce. They lived in Lancaster near Rising Park, so if that's your neighborhood and you saw a fat guy with glasses driving it, it was probably her ex.
