UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500
There’s been some body work that has obscured one of the two driver-side indents. It still has the column shifter. It’s sort of running.
“This is a 1945 Willys CJ2A with all the matching tags. It is serial number 11752 which means it was the 1752 CJ2A made in 1945 out of a total of 1824 for that year and it is the 1752 CJ ever built. This is a project but certainly can be put back into shape. There aren’t too many of these 1945 CJ’s left around. It has the 3 speed on the column which seems to work as it should. The head and valves were pulled by the previous owner because of a broken valve guide. He said that it ran fine before. It does turn over freely and seems to have good compression and no strange noises. I believe I have all the engine parts but you know how that goes, so please plan on something missing…..”
hate to rain on the parade, that vehicle has tried to be sold as a 45 for a very long time….studdy the pictures closely, and you will see it carries many more 46 traits than 45 traits….having as many 45’s as i do, i can tell you at best, the 45 tags were put on that unit a long time ago…..wrong motor, wrong rear diff…..wrong windshield frame 🙂
and the ’45 project in the video you mentioned last week in evan and pauls road trip is mine also 🙂 mike
if you care to follow any of my work thus far on CJ2A #10749 🙂 mike

Hi Mike. I haven’t worked on any VEC’s, so I can’t claim to be much of an expert. So, thanks for lending your expertise. Yes, I will definitely follow the build.
