Alfredo Maldonado's Willys CJ-2A

When I was 16 my Dad gave me a 1963 CJ-3B and I had possibly the best time of my life driving my Willys in Ecuador-South America. Unfortunately I had an accident and my older brother who was in charge of our house at that time sold my Jeep for about 50 dollars. I waited 40 years to find a rusted and almost abandoned CJ-2A. I paid sixty times the money that my brother received trying to restore it but just when I was starting to enjoy driving a Willys again, my daughter was planning her wedding. So I sold my Jeep to buy her the wedding dress. I do not regret what I did because she was very beautiful and happy during that special event. I know that one day I will have a Willys again, in the meanwhile enjoy some photos of my ex CJ-2A project.

  3. I love the jeep and the story!
    Funny how you can love that old rusty beat up jeep you see in a field, or what’s left of it.
    They just have something about them.
    I’ve pulled my share of old jeeps out from under weeds, piles of parts or someone’s abandoned dream out of a garage and they all feel like finding a treasure.
    I have six of them now, but there’s been many more in the past.

    I’m sure you’ll have another one soon and enjoy it the same.
    They become more of a family member than just another old car.
    Once it’s in your blood, in never goes away.

  5. I have a Willys Jeep, a 48 CJ-2A…no title, no motor or trans, and she needs quite a bit of work. But I’ll give her to you for $500. Just shoot me an email and I’ll send you a pic.
