Though this is a VEC columnshift CJ-2A, it doesn’t have the side indents, though they may have been replaced with a sheet metal patch.  It does have a rare, wooden interior you won’t find on most jeeps… lol

“LOOK! 1946 Willys Jeep cj2a. This is a low serial number vehicle, a Very Early Cilvilian model with the rare column shift. The body has the indents for the ax and shovel. It has a home made wooden cab and has been changed to 12 volts with a GM Delco alternator. I am using a remote 2 gallon gas tank mounted behind the cab. …..This is a good base for a great early model Jeep. I am only selling as I have 3 other Willys and other projects that I need to concentrate on. Don’t miss out on this. Vehicle is sold as is/where is. Buyer is responsible for moving vehicle. I can asist in loading vehicle.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2900

From what the pics show, this is a great price on what looks like a cj-2a in very good shape.  Hop on this deal before it’s gone.

UPDATE:  With the help of eWillys, Bill sold his jeep.  I’ll keep this for historical purposes.

Bill contacted me about selling this jeep he and his grandson have worked on for a few years. I suspect this good looking jeep was simply a bonus to that special time they enjoyed together.

Bill writes, “I have a 1948 Jeep cj2a that I bought in Black Mountain, NC. That was 4 years ago. I have done as much as I can to it.   It runs great and we had fun working on it. My grandson Josh and I hung out together for quite a long time and that was fun. ”

The body doesn’t look like a VEC CJ-2A body.
