1945 VEC CJ-2A Minneapolis, MN $6000

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

This looks like a good restoration project.

“This is a super early 1945 cj2A first year of the civilian jeeps. This is serial # 10207 or the 207th civilian jeep ever made. There are only a few known with an earlier number. Vehicle is numbers matching engine, frame and data tags. Was switched to a cain shifter but I have the correct side shifter transmission and column shift steering column. I bought it a few years ago drove it off the transport and have stored it since. I am not able to find the time to restore this as it should be.

The good:
It is solid. Numbers correct and very early. Only the first couple of hundred had no data tag on the firewall and an extra tab on the rear soft top bow storage bracket. The engine was gone through right before I bought it and it does not need to be rebuild it is in good condition. I have turned it over every few months the past couple years but have not started it. It ran perfect when taken off the trailer.

The bad:
The only rust I can see is in the driver side step. It clearly needs to be restored but nearly everything is there and correct. The only things I know it to need are the horn, and solid wheels. I may have the seat. Has no brakes they would need parts.

I do have extra parts that are not included in the price but I can help source anything if you need the help.

Vehicle is sold as is. It is a fair price for a very early project. It is a really nice start since so much is there and correct and the body is solid. Rust and needing rare parts cost a lot of money!

1946 CJ-2A Billerica, MA **Status Unknown**

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: Was $4500. Status Unknown

Lots of good details in the description.

“This is 1946 Willys CJ2A Jeep with a WWII Willys MB motor, Serail # MB393830, casting 638632W2A A 3-80. The jeep is running and has a clear Massachusetts title. I bought this jeep because it has a WWII Willys MB motor in it. I have WWII Jeeps and intended to use it as a spare (it runs perfect, no smoke and good oil pressure). My plan was to pull the WWII motor, rebuild one of the motors I had from CJ2A’s, install it and then sell the jeep. Time marches on and I eventually found another motor that I could use as a spare. The CJ2A comes with 2 motors,, Serial # CJ2A33837 (which is a 1946; the previous owner of this motor was doing a valve job and that’s how I got it))and Serial # U48485; both turn freely and are early production (still have the oval pad); extra radiator; spare tire and mount; column shift transmission (see photo of inside, it looks really good and turns smoothly) and transfer case (this was entire drivetrain was married to the CJ2A 33837 motor); early soft top and some bows (never tried it on); extra parts; very original (i.e. right windshield, seats); no bondo, but has had sheet metal replaced (I think the side steps look cool); it has a WO 636 12 patent carb and Oakes air cleaner. I redid the brakes last year and it has a new exhaust. The seats will need to be reupholstered, but I believe that they are original, backs and seats have springs. It has your typical drips but runs and shifts fine… it’s 66 years old. It has 2 of the three original data plates on the dash (like that when I bought it). It has a T-90 transmission, but I’m guessing it origianlly had a column shifter. Currently, it is setup for 12v. It is titled as a 1947 CJ2A, that was how I got it.

A WWII Jeep guy would be interested because of the original good running motor and that they are hard to find. You could pull it, put in a rebuilt CJ2A motor the resell the jeep (you get money back). Or a CJ2A guy pulls the motor, sells it and rebuilds and installs the CJ2A motor (you get money back). I would guess the motor is worth at least $1500 (could be more, lots of WWII jeeps have CJ2A motors in them and guy want an original). Both CJ motors look fine, can’t see any cracks in the block. There are extra parts (motor, drivetrain, etc) to sell if you don’t want them.I don’t have the time or desire to do this now, so that’s my reason for selling it. I need to focus on my WWII jeeps”

1946 CJ-2A Petaluma, CA **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000

Some dents and dings on the passenger side and has some floor rust.

“This is a mechanically beautiful truck hiding inside a well patinated body. I’ve been driving it all over Petaluma this year, enough that it’s become well known and loved. I’d keep it forever, but our first baby will be here next month, and I have five cars that can’t hold a baby seat. D’oh!

Here’s a list of recent work:
– new radiator, thermostat, hoses, belts
– new cap, rotor, points, condenser
– new spark plug wires, plugs, coil, battery, battery cables
– rebuilt carb
– oil change, filter
– new fuel tank, all new lines & hoses, new fuel pump and fuel filter
– new or rebuilt all wheel cylinders and master, new lines and soft hoses
– axle seals (inner and outer, front and rear) replaced and packed wheel bearings, new swivel seals
– greased all chassis lube points
– rebuilt original Dualmatic locking hubs
– new rear main seal, timing cover seal, crankshaft seal, oil pan gasket, rocker cover gasket
– new muffler and rear portion of exhaust
– fresh tune-up including valve adjustment
– new NDT tires and tubes
– new full top bow set and Sunbrella canvas half cab
– 48″ farm jack mounted to front bumper

More good things:
– original chaff guard included (hard to find)
– starts easily, runs very well, shifts, steers, brakes etc. just as it should
– tow bar included for easier transport
– spare engine with all ancillaries comes with it; very handy for reference and emergency spares
– original black CA plates with current registration

Current needs:
– speedometer broke and was taken out to send to rebuilder; can rebuild or buy new one from Walck’s for $75 (maybe less on ebay)
– fuel tank sender needs replacement; registers ok between 1/4 and empty so at least you know when you need gas
– obviously needs body and paint if you want to win a show. Most people (including me) seem to get a bigger kick out of the patina that only 66 years of existence can produce
– rust through on passenger floor and bottom of tool box, pitted driver’s floor; otherwise just surface rust
– new owner may want new front seat canvas ($110 from New Life Canvas, screws in place)
– windshield vent levers are not installed (they are included with the truck)”

(10/09/2012) This looks to have rust along the driver’s side.  It has no title.

“1946 Willys CJ2a jeep that has been used on a deer lease. The jeep runs and drives good. The gauges all work, horn works, lights all work, the four wheel drive works good, the transfer case seal on the front drips gear oil, the transfer case makes some noise but still works good, the engine runs good, the cab on the jeep can come off, but works pretty good in the winter. The jeep does have some rust, this jeep would be good for hunting out of or using on a ranch. The jeep has not been on the road and the title is lost, but will provide a bill of sale to the winner.”

1946 CJ-2A Blairsville, GA eBay

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

This has a PTO and may need some body work.

“1946 Willys. Vehicle has: rebuilt engine, changed to 12Volt, new clutch, radiator, rebuilt rear end, replaced springs, 2″ lift kit, brakes done and work good. Shifts all gears, 2/4 wheel works good and has Warn hubs on front. Steering has usual play which most of it is the Bell crank bushing. Body is not perfect and had floor pans replaced prior to my owning it. Jeep also has PTO take off on transmission. Engine starts easily and maintains excellent oil pressure. New Best Top on vehicle with doors. Jeep has a heater system under dash, not hooked up to water system so I don’t know condition of it. Needs cosmetics for sure! OD green doesn’t do much for it. There is a strong tow bar hook that goes on the front with it. The vin plate numbers on firewall and frame match. Georgia doesn’t issue titles on vehicles prior to 1965. They utilize registration slips which transfer ownership to someone when signed and sold. Was going to fix up and add a snowplow, but I now require something with Automatic shift due to injuries with my hip. The pictures were taken several days ago. Replaced batteries on camera and overlooked setting the date! Sorry about that!”

This still needs some work, but looks like it has a good foundation.

“This is a 1946 Willys model CJ2A universal.
It starts (with a jump) and runs good. The body is solid now but it has had some minor rust repair. This would make an easy restoration to get the body back to stock or leave it and drive it the way it is.
It has the correct wheels and NDT tires which are in excellent shape.
It DOES need some work though. It has no brakes, it should be rewired (relatively cheap and easy to replace the complete harness), needs battery plus other minor stuff.
I hold a clear and current transferable ownership in my name.
A little negotiable, but only in person.

“So here it goes. I have decided to put my beloved ’52 Willys up for sale. I have 3 little kids and I just don’t have the time needed to get it perfect. My game plan has been to replace and fix parts when I can, and it has most of the hard work done. I have not started it. I was going to get it 95% there (for cost reasons) and have it towed to a Willy’s expert to get the engine dialed in perfect since I am not a mechanic. It has the original L134 4 cyl engine, T90 transmition, Dana 18 transfer case, everything else is original 6V.
Here is a list of the new parts I have added (at quite a cost I might add!!)
-new distributor cap, points, plugs, wires
-new Oil Filter canister (that was missing on most of these Jeeps)
-new belt
-new hoses
-new gas tank
-new gas line
-new fuel sender unit
Changed all of the oil and fluids”
