Default Cj-2a

I've got a 1948 CJ2A. We bought it in 1977 and had it running great. I went off to school, Dad parked it in the barn and it has not run in about 25 years. It is very clean and all the parts are there. I started the process to get it going but I'm not a mechanic and I bought a TJ instead. Anybody have any suggestion about what my 2A is worth to someone who knows how to get it going?
