It’s 1:53pm my time and the auction for this CJ-2A ends in about 4 hours. The price has climbed to $14,600, pushed high by two bidders, though this high price seems a bit fishy to me.
“This particular CJ is finished in Harvard Red, which was a 1946 only color and was replaced for 1947. The Body, Serial, and Frame numbers all match and this was the 73,437 CJ2A produced and was built late in the ’46 model run which ended at S/N 83379. This Jeep is said to lived its whole life in Arizona and Colorado and is believed to have only 56,166 original miles on the body.”
I’ve been following this auction a little and like you I’m a bit suspicious of the bidding activity. The seller’s rating is OK, but not squeaky clean. It seems possible that there’s some shill bidding going on. This is a very nice jeep, but I was thinking top price of $10K. It looks as if the reserve has been passed, so technically it’s going to sell. Keep an eye on this one. If it’s re-listed I’d be even more suspicious.
