Tom shared this 2A, which is listed as a 1946, but the bow holder on the passenger side suggests it is a 1948 Lefty.

“1946 Willys CJ2A with top and doors. No engine, no transmission, no title. Body is in pretty good shape. Frame is excellent. Would be a good candidate for a body/frame replacement for your rusted out jeep.”

The body was removed and separated into components-fenders,
hood, grill, windshield.
The floor channels were replaced with new ones.
The yellow color is as original. Because the components
were painted separately, the yellows tend to not match.

The tires are new 600×16 white walls.

A hard cab is available for purchase ($500.00).”

For Sale: 1946 Jeep – A Vintage Gem for Restoration Enthusiasts!

Are you passionate about classic cars and eager to restore a piece of history to its former glory? Look no further! We are thrilled to offer our 1946 Jeep for sale – a true automotive treasure in remarkable condition, with unique features that set it apart.

Key Highlights:

(VEC) Rare Original Matching Plates: This 1946 Jeep comes with an extraordinary set of original matching plates 28210 – the Dash Plate, Body Plate, and
Frame Plate are all intact. These plates are not just a testament to its authenticity but also a collector’s dream.

Excellent Condition: Considering its age, this Jeep is in exceptional shape. It exhibits minimal rust and provides the perfect foundation for a restoration project that will turn heads and preserve a piece of automotive history.

Engine Anomaly: The engine in this Jeep has a +798 difference between the engine number and other plates, fear not! Willys utilized these engines for various purposes, pulling them from the assembly line for gas engine
generators during that era. This is why Willys engine numbers will not match.

“1946 Willys CJ2A Jeep for sale! restored to WWII military livery. Post-WWII, the simple yet iconic all-wheel drive GP, or General Purpose Vehicle, remained in production by Willys with the model designation CJ2A. This Willys has it all. Roll cage, electric wipers, new top, great tires/rims and more custom items. Very clean for a post war vehicle. This is a surviver to the fullest ready for the next adventure. There are some engine issues which are stated below. Hate to sell it but have many vehicles in my collection and this one is going to a new home. The Willys is located in Valley Center at my other mechanics house and he will be fielding all the inquiries and has all the knowledge to show it. He’s a great friend and master mechanic. Here are the details:
Body and undercarriage restoration, very clean. Replacement early 50’s willy’s engine. Lifted and new tires. Three speed. New interior and top, with optional bikini top and car cover. Seat belts and parking brake added.
Clean california registration.
Vintage 1946 plates, approved through CA DMV with 2024 tags. Odometer says 54,000 but there is many more miles on this 50’s motor. Has only 500 after it was all restored.

Here are the issues: The engine threw a rod and my mechanic James from James Automotive down in Barrio Logan inspected and here is his diagnosis.
It’s a F Head jeep engine from the early/mid ‘50’s.
Combines a flat head with an overhead valve.
The piston in the front cylinder basically disintegrated for some reason. Connecting rod as well. And badly damaged that cylinder.
To fix you need to take engine out. Disassemble it. Rebore the cylinder. Put a new sleeve in that cylinder. Replace the oil pump, which could have caused all of this. New gaskets and seals.
Then put it all back together and back into the Willys.”

I hate to sell it but things got bad for me real quick and need the money.. I’m asking $4000- and probably won’t go down from that price. May be open to trade. Lmk. What u have. Please no junk.
