323: Jessica Hendrix’s 1947 Willys CJ-2A
I have wanted a Jeep all my life and I finally saved up some money and found one for a low enough price. With a company like Kaiser Willys I know I’ll be able to make this Jeep like new again. I bought the Jeep from a man that used to collect and restore these Jeeps. He got so old he couldn’t do it anymore so he sold all the ones that still needed to be restored. I got the last one he had! It took me three years to totally redo it in a 10×16 shed. I did all the body work and paint myself. I did the vinyl seats myself too.

My ’47 is also in the shop. We are looking for a bell housing for the Buick V6 that is in it. Whoever put it in used one for a V8, and it’s giving me fits with the clutch linkage. Anyway, yours is very cool, hope you have a lot of fun with it!
