“This Jeep is being relisted from about 3 weeks ago. Up for sale is a 1946 Willys Jeep that I bought from an an elderly gentleman’s estate sale in February. This is a very early CJ2a that originally came with a column shift. I have not had the time to devote to rebuilding it and now I must sell it to make room for other vehicles. I got this jeep running with a basic tune up. It has a Buick 231 V6, power steering conversion and add on turn signals. This jeep does need work. The front left frame horn appears to have a slight tweak downward on the left side.”

1948 CJ-2A Hickory, NC **SOLD**
“Leave the tow rig at home, this jeep gets 25+ mpg and cruises at 70 mph. Built with an all DOM tube chassis it’s super strong and only weighs 2000 lbs. Has long arm 4 link suspension for a lot of travel off road.
The entire drivetrain is from a 4 cyl. 1997 wrangler. Fuel injection and emissions are hooked up. Why show up at the trail in a rig that looks just like everybody elses?”

1946 VEC CJ-2A Kansas City, Mo eBay
If you are looking for an early CJ-2A, this has got some good elements, including the driver’s side cutouts, the column shifter, and a heater. The passenger side fuel hole is interesting; I don’t believe that was stock?
“This early CJ-2A has an ID number of 16741. It is a 3 speed on the tree. It has a clear MO title. Below is the description: Motor – Org. 4 cylinder. Just got back from machine shop. All four cylinders were re-sleeved. Crank was polished. New pistons, valves, springs, etc Everything still in boxes as you can see by the pictures. Interior – I have no seats. Does have a roll bar. Floor is solid, except for the “bed”. It should be cut out and fitted with new metal. Exterior – The only rust I can see is the passage side step. Some of the Hat Channel underneath will need to be cut (maybe 3 feet) Tailgate is orginal, but is pretty rough. I have no windshield and I don’t believe the hood is org. because there is no Willys stamped on it.”

Stainless Steel Willys Flatfender Body Moses Lake, Wa
UPDATE: I do not know whether this sold or not. I’ll keep for historical purposes.
Obviously, these don’t appear every day. Note that this one has been stretched 6 inches, which makes it ideal for placing on a CJ-5 frame. It appears to have a solid back, like a DJ-3A.
“Very Cool!! RARE!! Stainless Steel Willys Jeep Body Hand built in the philippines in the 1970’s and was shipped to the states. Streched 6 in. in door & 6 in. Behind the rear fender. The Body will fit right onto a CJ-5 Frame It’s a Must sale for me… I simply need the money. “

1946 CJ-2A Bay Area, Ca $3500
An olds V6? It’s so uncommon, that I had to look up the engine to learn more about it. According to Wikipedia, a version of the Buick 231 or 3800L was used between 1975-1980 in the Starfire GT. The only difference I can see is that the alternator is on the driver’s side rather than the passenger side. I’m not sure where the powersteering pump is located.
“Nice running flat fender Willys CJ2A. Olds V6 w/recent valve job. Headers. Stock transfer and trans. P/S, manual brakes. New battery and alternator. 12 volt conversion. Rebuilt carb, master cyl. All new brakes. Tires are fair, with matching new spare (not shown). High lift jack. Roll cage. Soft top with doors. (not shown). Gas tank relocated under rear deck. Stock tank removed but included.

1949 CJ? Montgomery, TX **SOLD**
Check out the rear end on this jeep. If that’s a modification, then when it was done, it was done nicely (now it’s a bit beat up). If that’s original, then it is rare! I’ve done some searches, but they haven’t yielded any suggestion that this is a production length….
