My first car as a high school kid in 1973 was a '46. I drove that thing everywhere, and I mean everywhere. It had 5:28 gears and was only good for around a 45 mph. top end but it was a mountain goat off road. It's the only Willy's I didn't keep. Fun times.
My dad was a military man and when he found a 1947 Willys jeep for sale ... he traded an old Yamaha 750SpecialII for it. Man was it a tank! We towed it with us to go deer hunting and no hill was too steep or river too deep. Made for toughness. Push button start and had a 327 small block engine swap. BEAST! Traded it later on for a Ford Mustang Cobra II (just like Farrah's on Charlies Angels with with blue stripes)!! Good trade, great cars both
It's all so fun when you don't belittle a vehicle that worked perfectly and still works perfectly oh what is that, 70 years later...hm, isn't that strange, it still works almost perfect 70 years later.
I learned how to drive when I was 13 on a south Alabama farm in my Grandfather’s 53 Willy. I have been trying to recapture that magic ever since. No vehicle I have ever owned has come close.
Old automobiles although I don't see them as old... simply hurt by time and younger judgmental modernist people who never except anything past 2010, but ""older automobiles"" have a charm and set of gift that comes with it. With a modern car, you get it and you just think "alright, this is it I am out on the road in my new car", with an older automobile and I mean anywhere from 60 horsepower (36 mph) in a tonneau 1901 to 400 horsepower in a 1958 Mercury, both very very well for each time era..you get an offer of beauty, enjoyment, and many smiles all for so much cheaper yet higher quality than modern cars that have no glory and beauty to it.
My son is special needs and he loves classic jeeps like that one he says they don't make them like that anymore but wishes they would with no microprocessors in them just pure mechanics and with character and simplicity.
Honestly they should give everyone who wants to get DL a drive in one of these bad boys ....if you cant drive suvh simole car you dont deserve to drive modern electronically aided vehicle
Justin L They built stuff to last back then. CJ or not, that was still military grade bumper to bumper. The government wouldn’t put up with unreliability back then.
Many years ago I acquired a 1943 (supposedly) CJ2A with split windshield. It had a title that said it had been assembled from spare parts at the Red River Arsenal. It had the standard 4 cylinder engine, shifter for high and low range and a third stick to select four wheel drive. I had it torn down preparing to repair the cracked bell housing and got another job in a distant city. I called a friend and just gave it to him as it sat. Years later he wrote me and told me he had it running and titled. I often wonder where that old beast ended up.
First vehicle I ever owned was a '57 Willys CJ5 with the F-head four banger, point it any direction and it would drive over it or through it without hesitation! Always wanted a classic flatty like this though.
With these computer on wheels they make today. I have more fun in something like that then the 70,000 Ram that has left me stranded a couple of times lol

Wow you have a very nice jeep.I have a '47 CJ 2-A that is in good condition, rebuilt engine ford brakes as well as other minor repairs. However I've got a lot of more major repairs to deal with.
Then work out like the healthy soldiers did in Korea. 73 years old. Don't make up invisible problems with a automobile that isn't brand new and see it for it's positives. People keep talking about 45 miles per hour being slow, and I'm still left wondering...how? People should be greatful they get to their destination on solid smooth road. My grandparents certainly didn't, my parents were around the first when they were little to have smooth roads.
This is like the adult version of a toy car it reminds me of a toy I like the older jeeps learned to drive in a 1976 or 1973 wrangler can’t remember the year right now but it was one of those

My Father had a 46 also. Great Jeep.
I'll Sell you mine
Wow, simple, basic, reliable, uncomplicated beauty. Never let go of this one. It's a part of the history that is America.
I sold my 47 5 years ago. It still breaks my heart when I come across a picture of it.
U r right sir
Wow 475 years ago!!!that's been a long time
Then why did you sell it?..
@@bricksandpieces1 he meant his car “47” and he sold it 5 years ago
@@loftify472 i think you missed the sarcasm bud
The only way someone would thumbs down a Willy's is because they are jealous they don't have one.
stony stoner or they don’t know how to drive with a stick lmao 😂
I'm jealous that I don't have one and even I won't thumb down. Anyone who does is a prick.
It must be a fake jeep owner that disliked the video.
I started to drive in a Willy when I was 13 years old. It was a gift of my father.
The best 4x4 forever thanks for share

Beautiful looking Willys. They are a blast to drive around town. Can’t go anywheres without attracting attention!

Very beautiful I have a 1960 dj3a. They are so much fun to drive. You dont get there fast but the journey is always worth it
Couldn't agree more!
Thats one of the nicest/cleanest best condition Jeeps ive ever seen-!!
This is one of the best Jeep cars that was produced for military. I love this car its best. One day I will get myself one
I had one in high school. I grew up in Coconut Grove, it was like Mayberry. Sailing, tennis and lots of friends.
I'd love to get one of these and explore some trails near my house. I feel like it'd be perfect for that!
Well, it was perfect for climbing the trails and mud and stuff in World War II and in Korea so I'm sure it can handle the trails near your house!
I have one but it needs restoration
And I’m thinking about getting a machine gun mounted on it for re-enactments
@@tylerhall4322 I'd make sure that its legal to do that were I you dude!
It would be a legal machine gun but I wouldn’t have to get a license for it because I would only shoot blanks
I am big fan of your videos from Pakistan, really appreciate your work.
I appreciate that, thanks for watching! Great to hear from a fan in Pakistan!
I love my 49 CJ3A. Slow but so much fun to run around town or the woods in.
I have myself the exact same, 49' CJ3A. Runs like a dream but need a lot of work
Damn, it is a beautiful piece of history, lovit.
Why does it look like it's easy to drive
Because it is pretty easy lol!

@@WalterMcWatersit is not! Shifting is a pain in the ass. It took me a while to learn it. I drive a manual car btw. It is not comparable.
It’s quite easy to drive a light, manual transmission car, I’ve experienced it
@@batterynerd8779unfortunately, many of the earlier models do not have a synchronized first gear which makes it a PITA to shift.
So jealous.. Great ride, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
You're entire place is very nice
Thanks!
hi, greetings from england, cant beat the Sgt Bilko type Jeeps ! love them
Right on!
Nice! I had a '46 CJ2A some years ago. I wish I still had it.
Same here, but mine was a '47. I was stupid and sold it for a CJ-7.
I go through periods thinking I should sell my ‘46, and then I worry I’d regret it. Thanks for posting.
Still more reliable than a FIAT Jeep.
That thing is more reliable than 90% of all the cars on the road now.
Bennett Lauderdale isn’t that sad? This thing is almost a century old.
Don't touch the Fiat's motors....

I’ve got a 53 willys wagon. All stock 4 cyl. But I need a flat fender. They are so fun to drive.
Amazingly simple unlike all the electronics found on modern vehicles.
I learned to drive on one of these when I was 9. The weirdest part is I’m only 20
That’s fuckin funny. My grandpa actually has one cause when he was in the service he used to work on these.

What an amazing place you have there.

Real clean looking, a keeper for sure. ✔💯
Yo, Mine is 1948 Marine Willys, your Willys is 1 year older than mine, still cool tho
Very nice! Thx. I recently picked up a modified cj3 and have been curious about how it should look.
My dream is to drive one of these one day.
In my contry (Colombia) you can see a lot of this cars, whe use this cars for move between towns.

Im still dreaming to get one..this jeep is immortal
We need continuations of this real bad
2:54: why the fuel indicator was crazy?
Huh idk
They do jump around a fair amount, but normally not THAT much. It would appear as if he has a bad ground, or loose wire on the sending unit.

It's from a time when people in India and China were either using bulls or themselves to move each other. Almost a spaceship to them back then.

is first gear down? If so, it's very different from what we're used to.
