UPDATE: Still Available.
(04/10/2023) John shared this early CJ-2A. It’s had a few updates, but the indents and column shift are still there. There has been some body work (such as the elimination of the spare tire carrier mounting holes), along with new paint. If the underside on this is solid, it may well be worth a look at this price. I don’t impinge it would take too much to bring this back to stock.

“1945 Willys Jeep CJ-2A
All original except back bumper and top.
Original miles 45,640.
VIN# 10335.
Has all 5 tags.
6 Volt.
Column shift.
Runs great.
Have owned for 23 years.”
To all,
Nice looking early CJ 2A.
One thing that stands out, the windshield frame is a later one. Can’t tell if the interior transmission body cover plate is original style or not.
Maybe a little picky, but the jeep looks good regardless,

Thanks Frank. I think it’s helpful for folks to have those little things pointed out. It’s easy for people to miss things (and I miss plenty myself).

This one would have left the factory with a full-floating rear axle, which I suspect may have been replaced. I’m not sure if the center caps on the rear wheels would fit over the axle seals. Probably there are a few other incorrect parts, but I’d love to buy this rig and bring it back to stock!
