UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was listed at $6500.
This appears solid and early. This should be #13337 VEC CJ-2A.
“For sale is a very early 1946 CJ 2A VEC (Very early civilian) with a 5 digit serial number these were the first jeeps made immediately after the WW2 jeep, has many willys military parts such as floating rear axle, military style windshield, body side tool indents, etc… This Vec has the rare and valuable 3 speed on the column shifter. Engine has been completely gone through, runs like a top, jeep has been converted to 12V but have original 6v generator and regulator. Seats have new canvas, starts, drives and stops well. Some body work needed these jeeps in restored condition sell for upwards of $15,000. This one is for sale for $6500”
This looks like the same jeep that was for sale in NH a few weeks ago.
Is there a difference between an MB and a GPW front bumper? Being VEC, I can understand why this would have an MB bumper. …I still have way too much to learn to be restoring my GPW… not that I’m letting that stop me.
Yes, the GPW bumper has a hole in the face of the bumper at each frame rail. Here is an example.
Now that my brain is awake, I realize that the bumper on the VEC as two holes at each spot, so I take back what I said about it being a GPW.
Bill … you were correct. It’s the same jeep. It’s a new owner, but seller is selling at the previous offer price. I am going to delete the other one.
