Here’s a restored CJ-2A.

“I hate, hate, hate that I have to sell this Jeep. I purchased this CJ2A several years ago and have 293 recorded man hours into the restoration. I have a full photo album of pictures from the very early stages through completion. However, only recent ones are available online. I have taken a few pictures of the pictures with my camera phone.  Too much detail to go into regarding the restoration, but I do have a printout of everything that went into it. It runs well and is started weekly to keep everything in working order. T-90 Transmission and Transfer Case Model 18.  Engine: #J45856.  This restoration is one of the nicest that I’ve ever seen. This jeep is a great collectible and a piece of American history.  Please feel free to ask questions, I’ll do my best to answer…. Make an offer! Can and would love to ship.”

1947 CJ-2A Albuquerque, Nm eBay

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

This is a very honestly photographed Jeep.  The seller has been generous with closeup pics of problem areas.

“1946 Willys Jeep CJ2A. It has a clear New Mexico Title and the numbers on the data plates match the number on the title. The body is in what I consider to be rough shape with it’s share of rust in all the normal places, please see pictures. The jeep does run, I will re-install the gas tank if the jeep needs to be shipped. The rims are the stock 16 inch and are all in good shape, three of the tires are good, one of them is cracked from age and does leak air slowly. There are no seats at all. The Jeep still has the 6 volt system (brand new battery) I have not driven the jeep at all so not sure how all the running gear works. Everything seems to go in and out of gear. Buyer will have to arrange shipping or pick up the Jeep. I will be able to assist with loading. If you have any questions or would like more pictures of a specific area let me know. If you want to talk to me call me at 505-803-8767 ask for Bill. This is a no reserve auction highest bidder will take it home.”

The drain holes have been plugged, which I suspect means there’s been some work done on the passenger and driver’s side areas of the body.

“You are 1946 Willys in great condition. This truck has been completely restored and looks and runs great. It has always been garage kept. We are selling it due to lack of room.

Art’s 1946 CJ-2A Fire Willys and Trailer

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A, Fire/Police/Industry Vehicles, trailer • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Bruce surprised me today with some pics of a Fire Jeep.  He noted that after reading the section that includes Fire Jeeps, he thought I might be interested in seeing a couple pics of Art’s Jeep.  After reviewing the pics, I asked him for permission to publish them.  Bruce was kind enough to contact Art, who in turn has been nice enough to let me share them with you.  If you haven’t seen Art’s Jeep on the CJ-3B page or at one of the Willy’s reunions, then you are in for a treat.

One of the more interesting factoids I ran across while doing a search for Art’s Jeep on the internet was a discussion on the CJ-2A Page Forum regarding Bill’s effort to include Art’s Jeep in a Calendar of Fire Vehicles.  It turns out that Daimler Chrysler wants a piece of any Calendar pie for showing a Jeep Grille (specifically, a $500 guarantee and 12% royalties).

So, that got me thinking. What about Jeeps on pay websites?  Could Daimler, for example, begin asking for royalties from a site like the Jeep Forum, which has paying members, on which plenty of images of a Jeep Grille exist?  At this point, my opinion is they can’t, because they haven’t enforced their rights (if they even have them) to do so.  But, I’m gonna research this more.

Anyway, here’s some pics of Art’s Willys.  Thanks for sharing Art 🙂
