Gary has become a regular reader.  His green CJ-5 is undergoing a makeover, with a body purchased off craigslist coupled with a rebuilt motor (134 F is in the machine shop), including a new engine kit and re-ground crank.  You can see his starting jeep in the pic below. Gary is also working on a spare tire carrier for the back of his CJ-5 which he plans to share when it is finished.  Thank for sharing!

Gary also provided pics of his friend Lawrence’s jeeps.

The first of Lawrence’s jeeps is a CJ-2A which he cut and converted to a two wheel drive truck. Lawrence is pictured here.

Year? CJ-2A Chico, Ca $2000

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

UPDATE:  Something strange is going on .. this jeep is listed below for $2000 in Chico.  On eBay it is listed for a single bid of $5500.

This looks a good price on a CJ-2A.  This is listed as a ’43, but I see nothing to indicate that this is anything other than a CJ-2A.

“Turn key ready to go. Overdrive works great. Transfer case smooth and easy. Converted 12 volt system. Immaculate seats and back seats. L4-134 purrs like a kitten.
*Less than 7500 miles on rebuilt original L4-134 (four cylinder) engine  *A rebuilt carburetor  *All steering components are either new or rebuilt  *New speedometer and cable  *A new radiator  *A new master cylinder  *New windshield and rubber  *original four speed transmission and overdrive  *Two speed heater  *New floor pans  *Canvas soft top  *Upholstery and tires in good condition  * AM radio, C.B. ready  *Tow bar and trailer hitch  *Epuipped for hunting with rear mounted deer deck  *Interior lights, lights under hood and back up lights  *Gas, amp and water temperature gauges  *Two locking tool boxes mounted inside the jeep  *Two five gallon powder coated gas cans mounted on the rear with locks  *The jeep comes with more that $500.00 worth of spare miscellaneous parts  *11″ brakes not installed, but still in the box  *PTO  *The jeep is in excellent condition and has been hightly maintained and serviced on a regular basis.  Only addition I put on are knew front hubs. We are not using it. This jeep needs a great home. The only flaw is that hood could use new paint. There are a couple of paint chips. Machanically it is in great condition. For more info you can call or text me at (530) 906-2229 my name is Scott”

1946 VEC CJ-2A Phoenicia, Ny **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay

(10/22/09) There’s something growing out of the driver’s side fender  …..  This seller is selling about 5 other jeeps (CJ-5s) on ebay as well.

“1946 Willys cj-2a column shift jeep. No engine is installed, just the original transmission and rest of drivetrain. Unfortunately, no serial number plates have been left on this jeep. Many very good parts like the hood, grill and fenders. Complete column shift linkage and working transmission is also present. Frame is very good, except for one of the front horns where some metal was welded on to reinforce one side. Looks like it should be removable with frame remaining intact. Snowplow lift is bolted on. The body has rust in the front floors and on the side bottoms. Body can be restored with repairs in the front floor area and the right rear corner. Rear area is pretty good and amazingly not dented up.”
