Description
The Jeep is now ready to drive and is just waiting for a new owner. The car is being sold because the owner has more vintage vehicles in need of attention.
The car comes with only 1 ignition key. Owner's manual, jack, and spare wheel are missing.
This is a distance auction. Photos and information about the vehicle and its technical condition have been obtained from the owner. BWA has thus not inspected the car on site at the seller's location.
Technical data
Condition
-
Mechanical condition
Equipped with the Willys L134 engine, a four-cylinder 2.2-liter flathead producing 60 hp. The engine became best known by its nickname, the "Go Devil". The gearbox is a Borg-Warner T-90, a three-speed with non-synchronized 1st gear. And of course four-wheel drive, which was the hallmark of the Willys Jeep.
The engine was fully rebuilt in 2026. The block was bored .030, with new pistons, new bearings, new valve guides, new valves, new water pump, etc. The brake system has also been fully overhauled, with turned brake drums, new brake linings, new wheel cylinders, and more. New tires and a new fuel tank were also fitted in 2026. Runs very well in engine and drivetrain. See the video.
The only remark is slight oil seepage from the gearbox and engine, despite all gaskets being replaced in the engine during the rebuild. 6-volt electrical system. (The generator and voltage regulator come from a Volvo PV) -
Interior condition
The seats are not original. This model of bucket-style aftermarket sport seats was popular during the 1970s and 1980s. The sport steering wheel also comes from the same period. All gauges in the instrumentation are functional. Otherwise, the interior is in normal condition for a CJ2A Jeep.
-
Exterior condition
The body is largely in original condition. Universal turn signals have been fitted both front and rear. The Jeep is equipped with Slottmags aluminum wheels, with new tires. This wheel type was extremely popular during the 1970s and 1980s. A roll bar has been retrofitted. The vehicle also comes with a custom-made soft top. There are a few spots of rust on the body, including at the fender braces. Nothing major, however, and no rust in the frame. See the photos. The vehicle was previously painted red. We do not know when the Jeep received its current color, most likely around 40 years ago.

Owner's comment
Facts about the model
After the war, many were sold through surplus stocks around the world. The CJ2A model is the successor to the so-called "war Jeep." These were sold under the banner of the "Peace Jeep" from 1945 to 1953. The visible difference was the larger headlights, which were recessed, and fewer slats in the grille. In Sweden, they were used not only by the military, but also as tow trucks, fire engines, and in agriculture. Many remained in service for decades.
The rise of the four-wheel-drive off-road movement in Sweden:
During the late 1970s and early 1980s, the four-wheel-drive off-road movement began in Sweden, which came to develop into a popular hobby and organized movement. There was a large supply of older, rugged military vehicles, both older models of Volvo's off-road vehicles and Willys Jeeps, which enthusiasts bought up and drove through forests and fields. The movement gained its major media and unifying hub when the magazine 4 Wheel Drive was launched in 1983. The magazine quickly became a focal point for the hobby and helped spread the culture, coverage from meets, and technical tips across the entire country. The motorsport federations also began organizing official competition disciplines such as car trials, and local off-road clubs were formed at a rapid pace.
Today, the Swedish off-road movement has grown into a broad, modern, and very vibrant subculture.
Now the old military vehicles are sought-after collector's items. Instead, the meets are dominated by modern, well-equipped pickups and off-road vehicles such as the Toyota Land Cruiser, Jeep Wrangler, Ford Ranger, and Isuzu D-Max.
