UPDATE: Price dropped to $7500

I’ve spent some time in Arnold.  It’s a pretty area. The jeep looks nice, too. It’s got a body lift and a grille & windshield from a M-38.  This lacks a tailgate, which makes me wonder if the body is a DJ body (note the lack of a side fuel inlet).

“This is the probably the cleanest 1946 CJ2A you will see. It is painted in Pearl Orange with only a few minor chips that you really have to look for. This Willys has a Buick 225 Odd Fire which runs clean and installed as a rebuild last year.

The transmission is a SM465 with an Advanced Adapters kit between the motor and the Dana 18 Transfer case. The rear axle is a Dana 44 (upgraded from the Dana 41) with 5:38 / 1 gearing, while the front axle is a Dana 27 with matching gear ratios. The hubs are Warn Premium hubs and there is a Warn All Range overdrive also installed.

The Tires are 30″ Super Swampers that are brand new, and they are considerably taller than a traditional 30″ tires. Rims are Black Steel.

This Jeep also has the 10.5″ Clutch and upgraded 9″ brakes. There is a tow bar (not shown) that is included. I am even including the custom axe which is bolted to the roll bar and matches the paint. Fire Extinguishers and two Jerry cans also included.

I had a custom top made for the Jeep that extends all of the way to the back of the custom full roll cage.

There are several more improvements done to this Jeep. Everything is interior is clean, with nice gauges and a locking console. The seats are complete with seat belts.

I’m hoping to trade this Jeep for a CJ7, Nice Jeepster, or Bronco since my family has outgrown this Jeep. I’m not in a hurry to sell, so I’m not looking for anything that leaks a ton of oil, will leave you stranded, or needs too much work. I will sell outright for $8,000.00 but hoping to trade. ”

It’s not often you see a three pronged plug outlet in a jeep’s engine compartment.

“Here is a very nicely set up classic Jeep. It has a smooth running Chevy throttle body fuel injected 305/350 V8 engine, with a five speed Borg-Warner manual gearbox; it also has power steering. The engine starts easily every time, and idles smoothly and sounds nice. The engine setup has its’ computer/diagnosis plug-in mounted under the dash. There is a idle/throttle control lever attached to the shifter and there is a sticker on the dash that says Warn “all range” Overdrive. The transmission bolts directly to the transfer case, so I’m assuming that it has a GM transfer case……possibly an older K-5 blazer. A note in the Jeep says it has a AMC 20-456G rear end, (other #s on the note say 41-9 F5G). It has a custom built radiator w/heavy duty aluminum shroud, dual exhausts with long tube headers (surprisingly quiet for such a basic/short exhaust system). The Jeep has Willwood front disc brakes with a manual proportioning/adjustment valve just by the drivers’ seat (see pic). The front axles have manual locking hubs, they say Superwinch.L”

UPDATE: Price dropped to $12,500.

This is a nice looking jeep.

“This jeep has always started. it is in great shape for its age. always kept indoors. It has a top, heater, wench, hubs, AIR lockers, airtank, reciever hitch, welder, two fuel tanks, duel exhust, great tires, rear seat, roll bar, camping rack. new extra best top. Has just about everything to rebuild the engine (new in the boxes) I was going to rebuild it 20 years ago but the jeep still purrs. I have had the jeep for 40 plus years! There is a small dent in the back where a trailer tounge hit the back. I drive it only a couple times a year. I noticed some oil leaking out of the hubs. There is a tear in the passenger seat. Been sitting too long. Everything works. I can get off a four wheel drive road, get on the freeway, use overdrive and cruise at 65 mph. Been a great jeep. Miles may not be accurate. I would like to be payed within 7 days after auction. I think it best to contact me and we can make arrangements for payment and delivery. We can possible deliver the jeep for a fee.”

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was $5600.
