“This is a very clean, well restored,  and well running CJ2A.  You don’t see them like this very often.  I hope I look this good when I’m 64 years old!  Complete body off restore done in 2001 and garaged full-time since then.  Driven occasionally in parades or short trips around town since then.   I tried to keep everything original.  It’s been in the family since before I can remember but it’s time to pass it along to someone else who will baby it.

Original flat head engine.  Engine has been started regularly and runs great.  Starts on the first crank every time. Doesn’t burn oil or leak.  Belts and hoses are good.  New radiator keeps engine nice and cool.  Engine compartment is clean, no rust or corrosion, and everything is easy to reach.  Manual choke.  Foot starter.  Starting the jeep by hand is very fun with the hand crank starter (included).  Manual 3 speed transmission plus reverse.  Odometer reads 1335 miles but I have no idea if that is accurate.

Jeep has been converted from 6V to 12V.  New battery, new 12V generator, new wiring harness (every wire in the vehicle is new), lights and gauges are all new or originals that work fine, driver’s side heater with electric fan and on\off switch, high \ low bean foot switch, dash panel light.  New headlights and brake light.

Body is in good shape.  This is the original tub which was removed and new steel welded in to repair all existing damage.  Front and rear floor boards are completely solid with no rust (unusual in jeeps this old).  Tool box is clean and dry.  New gas tank.  Side mounted spare.  Frame and underside was sandblasted down to metal, all damage was repaired and repainted.  Shocks and springs are good.  Drive train is solid.  Brakes work well.  Rubber floor mats fit floor boards well.  Good solid roll bar.  Jerry can mounted on rear.

Most rubber is new and in good shape.  Window tie-down belt secures the fold-down window in place when its down.  Wood blocks on the hood support window when its down.  Pneumatic windshield wiper motor (missing the blade) works using engine vacuum.  New heavy canvas from Beachwood Canvas Works with no tears anywhere.  Seatbelts added front and back to make it legal.”
