It’s very rough, but does appear to have a VEC windshield.

“I have a 40’s model Willys CJ-2A. I purchased it a couple months back and ended up buying another Jeep last week that I am going to use instead of this one. Jeep is complete minus tailgate, seats, and a carb. Was told it ran from previous owner. No title but a title can be had by filing antique with SCDMV. Jeep has rust in floors and the tub. It is repairable. Frame is good. All original drivetrain is in tact.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7000.

Jay spotted this one. It’s listed as a 1949. It’s missing the column shift and the early windshield, so this might be a mix of parts.

“Runs…. bad starter
good fixer upper
10049 serial number
call for more information”

UPDATE: Was $1500. **SOLD**

Looks like a great price.

“1946 Willys CJ2A early column shift model motor and running gear complete has not been started in 10 years, engine turns free. Will need floors and restoration. This is a would be a worthy project or parts vehicle”

UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $5000

Jay spotted this one. Listed as a 1943 Military Jeep, this looks to me more like an early CJ-2A.

“I have an old military jeep here with all original parts come up and take a look or give me a call or email me this is a lien sale ASISl”

UPDATE: Price dropped to $2600.  It’s a column shift with tool indents.

“My husband kept this Willys Jeep around for many years in hopes of one day getting around to restoring it. Unfortunately, he recently passed away and never got the opportunity. We are clearing out some items of the estate and have decided to list this for sale.

Runs.

“Running and Driving 1946 Willys CJ-2A ECV (early civilian vehicle) come take her for a drive. Just found a different different toy and need to sell this one to fund the other.”

http://eauclaire.craigslist.org/cto/5098385939.html

This appears to have an early tub.

“Calling all Vintage Jeep Lovers! This one is a project for just the right person. This vintage jeep was in the process of being redone when the owner died suddenly. The body, transmission, and engine are surprisingly sound. The owner had taken many parts off and had obtained replacements including seats, and electrical wiring, but unfortunately was unable to finish the project. As you can see in the photo, it includes a front tow bar. Again, its a project but great when done! ”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer.

The 2A appears to be a VEC, but it looks more like a ’46.

“1945 & 53 Willy’s Jeeps For Sale / B.O. for both. (No splitting them up).
1945 is the one with the top/plow and is pretty much complete. The other is the 53, this one is pretty much a parts unit. Both Jeep’s need lots of work, but if you’re a Jeep fanatic they are diamonds in the ruff. Both are extremely hard to find, so no lowballing. . . ”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.

Possible VEC.

“1946 willy cj-2a jeep…fair condition…16″ wheels…all 3 matching tags…correct seat frames…starts, runs, drives, shifts…needs brake + carb work (doesn’t idle well)…asking $1500…VT. doesn’t issue titles for older vehicles…sold with bill of sale”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2995.

(04/29/2015) Based on the serial number this should be a VEC, but there are no tool indents.

“NEED A JEEP TO RESTORE?? Fully restore this jeep and you could possibly sell between 10-13K on Ebay.

Check out this 1946 CG2A Willy’s Jeep. Serial #17158, Flat Head, 4 cyl engine, Soft top, split windshield fold down. Needs TLC. Selling AS IS. $2995 or best offer.”

UPDATE: Was $3600. **SOLD**

The windshield is funky.

“In July 2013 I purchased this jeep as a restoration project for my husband. He had begun the basics. The awesome thing is it ran great & we had taken it, playing in the desert, numerous times. He was diagnosed with cancer Jan. 2014 & crossed over 55 days later. Although I hate to part with it… It deserves more than just sitting in a garage.”

UPDATE: Seller ended last auction. Buy-it-now price dropped to $8000.

Here’s a very restorable VEC. It is one of the last 1945 CJ-2As produced.

“Original 1st year civilian jeep ,#1809 out of 1824 all 3 I’d tags present, body and tail gate numbers match # 1821. This jeep has had all systems rebuilt at one time by me. Runs drives like it was designed. Frame and body never been butchered or modified. Original springs and shocks,converted to 12 volt with stock generator.

This might have some parts’ values. Check into the amount of back DMV fees.

“1946 CJ2A Jeep, Started Project, not finished, 260 Ford engine, power steering, 538 rear end gears, Back DMV fees.”

Mostly family owned.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3900

The body is rough.

“This is a very early Civilian Jeep aka CJ 2A aka “Agro Jeep”. These early Jeeps still had the ax and shovel imprints on the driver side panel.
Originally it had the 3 speed column shift levers but sometime later on, this one had the shift tower replaced with the 3 speed shift cane. The transmission still has the linkage levers for the column shift.
This Jeep was used primarily as a Hunting Jeep/ Ranch Jeep. We cleaned her up and replaced the engine with a more period correct block. The replacement engine was not rebuilt but it checked out good and it runs great.
The brakes were also replaced and the most evident leaks were repaired.
Jeep drives good. It still needs some basic up keep but it’s a good runner / driver.
No title but all of the Data Plates are there. I will help with obtaining a title.”

Has some body rust, but runs and drives. It could be a good price.

“1946 cj2a willys jeep. It runs and drives. It has new bf Goodrich all terrain tires and new brake lines and brakes. It has the original go-devil 4 cylinder engine showing 80,000 miles most of which were towed miles back and forth up north. The body is in rough shape and would be a great candidate for a new body tub. I just have too many projects and need to clear out.”

http://detroit.craigslist.org/mcb/cto/4999842707.html

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800

“1946 CJ2.. very rare, low vin. Ready for restoration or just drive as is. Call for information. Serious inquiries only, Partial trades considered.. Old guns…”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Were $1800.

Only one jeep show in pics, but two mention in the text. The one in pics is a VEC with full floating hubs. The body is crap, but there might be some value underneath.

“1946 CJ2A 3 speed stick on the column, 4 cylinder engine, runs good, New front brakes and Brake master cylinder, New Military Tires, Clean title, needs rear wheel cylinders for the rear brakes, 1946 CJ2A with Buick v6, Runs good, 3 speed on the floor, wont go into 3rd gear but internal trans looks Good? , Clean title, Body rough, Extra frame with axels , Extra body tub, lots of extra parts,”

This has an early windshield with the square bolt heads. Without the hubs or indents, the windshield may not be original to the jeep.

“1946 Willys Jeep. Good condition, solid body, unmolested. This jeep is all original, only things that are not oem is the roll bar added for saftey (these jeeps didn’t have any roll protection), a 12v conversion for more reliable starting, and modern tires. Motor is all original, original glass is intact. Odometer reads 10xxx.”
