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.
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.
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.
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.
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

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.
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.
Fact: The Willys Jeep is the ancestor of Philippine Jeepneys, after World War II those jeeps were left by the American troops & it was converted by Filipinos into public vehicle, the back part was expanded, 2 hand railings installed at the roof & put many decorations to attract the people & the Philippine Jeepney was born. The Jeepney became the most popular means of transportation in the Philippines since then & it's part of the Filipino culture
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
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.
It really sucks that we will never see a time again. when such a simple, fundamental, easy to operate, easy to repair, all purpose vehicle will ever be produced again. so much for progress is all I can say?

My Father had a 46 also. Great Jeep.
I'll Sell you mine
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.
Wow, simple, basic, reliable, uncomplicated beauty. Never let go of this one. It's a part of the history that is America.
I started to drive in a Willy when I was 13 years old. It was a gift of my father.

How fast did it go with a 327 id imagine more than the norm 55 70 or so
Beautiful looking Willys. They are a blast to drive around town. Can’t go anywheres without attracting attention!

Damn, it is a beautiful piece of history, lovit.
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....

Couldn't agree more!
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.

I learned to drive in one of these too when I was 12.

That’s pre cool
My father learned how to drive on a Model T Ford. It was his uncle's. But my father is 91, not 20! 😜
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.
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 had one in high school. I grew up in Coconut Grove, it was like Mayberry. Sailing, tennis and lots of friends.
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!
So jealous.. Great ride, thanks for sharing.

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

@@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.
I’ve got a 53 willys wagon. All stock 4 cyl. But I need a flat fender. They are so fun to drive.
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

Such a clean example.
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.
Chutiye, when you are in the stone age, we tell the whole world about our solar system, Trikonmiti, etc. Then we were perfectly civilized.
