“1948 Willys CJ-2A with a 1944 MBs body retrofit but with vintage parts such as grill, glovebox, lights, wind shield, seats,etc.

Very close as a complete MB clone. Has new top, straps, and seats. Many parts have been replaced including wiring and alternator to a 12v system, cables, gauges, shocks, and muffler. Includes tow bar. Engine runs fine with good compression psi: 135,120, 125, 130. Transmission has a new clutch.

I recently bought this Jeep from my uncle with title and Collector plate. He used in mostly to ride in
parades and show it at car shows with a military auto club. It has now been completely mechanically inspected and is in the process of professional auto work and I decided to start a restoration at my home under cover. Car is available to see while work is being completed.

Vin plate is missing so I have a special appointment set up with the State Patrol to have a reassigned vin number added to car frame and body. I will support with attendance if you want to conduct the inspection with State Patrol.

Car need three tires (one tire is new).

Several thousand dollars spend recently on new parts:
Replacing all new brakes lines and master cylinder, (new wheel cylinders are in place now)
Replacing front hub seals and all axles seals,
Replacing new emergency brake pads and rotational seals transfer case seals,
Replacing clutch and brake pedals and clutch and brake rotational shafts and brake arm.
Fuel line is new and replacing fuel gauge.
Replacing front axle bearings.
Replacing steering shaft and sleeve plus rebuilding steering box.
Bought 2 gallons of Army correct paint but do not have time to paint.
A few places have rust so I bought replacement panels and in process of replacing (but probably will not finish soon).

I do not need help selling or in a hurry. Selling for what I invested so far minus my time. Cash only and no trades. I plan to keep the Jeep if close to price is not met and continue restoration in the spring. Mechanical works should be completed soon.

I do not have time to finish the complete project thus reason for sale. Price reduction can be negotiated if you want the car as is and finish the work. Price listed is with most of stated work to be completed.

I will not reply to emails or texts, please call only. Please serious calls only and no low balls or scammers!”

1946 CJ-2A VEC? Ogden, UT Auction

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

Roger shared this CJ-2A with driver side indents. I suspect that top requires the vertical windshield. The bidding is currently at $3300 with 9 hours to go. The drain holes have been filled and bow holders removed, so this likely has had some bodywork. It’s listed as a 1945, but more likely a ’46.

1945 VEC CJ-2A Fernley, NV Hemmings Auction

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

Thanks to Mike for sharing this VEC CJ-2A that’s being auctioned on Hemmings.com. While not a perfect restoration, there’s a lot to like here and it’s a long ways towards that goal. The jeep includes a rear PTO gearbox and drum pulley. While functional, the exhaust pipe appears under the frame in the first pic, so that would be a good thing to correct. The front frame rail area could use some restoration, too.

https://www.hemmings.com/auction/1945-willys-cj2a-920716

“You’ll need to look twice, but this is a fetching and genuine example of American automotive history. The seller states that this 1945 Willys Jeep CJ-2A, from the first year of civilian Jeep production, is also the 325th such vehicle built in 1945, based on its tub and serial numbers, which the seller says were commonly mismatched in those years. Believed to have been originally sold in California, the Jeep is reported to have undergone a four-year, body-off restoration that included a new master cylinder and wiring harness. Described as 90 percent complete, the Jeep is reported to have a rear-mounted power takeoff with a flat belt drive.”
