1946 CJ-2A VEC? Mountain Home, AR **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: Was on eBay. **SOLD**

This is a one family owned CJ-2A bought new in San Francisco. It’s a column shift. It appears solid. It has an Allstate Half Top.

1946-cj2a-mountainhome-ar1 1946-cj2a-mountainhome-ar2 1946-cj2a-mountainhome-ar3

“This is a 1946 CJ2A that was purchased new by my Grandfather in mid 1946 in San Francisco.  It was his only vehicle up until the early 60’s when he bought a Simca which was easier on my Grandmother to get in and out of.  I have owned it for 25 years and it last ran 10 years ago when I put in a fresh Carb and a new gas tank.  I drove it up under the canopy at my auto restoration shop and it is still there.  The engine is NOT stuck and should be easy to start.   It is a very easily restorable vehicle and is one of the rare jeeps with the 3 speed shift on the column.  Jeep went back to all shifts on the floor later in the model year.  The Sears Allstate cab was installed in the early 50’s and I have the original canvas doors as well as some of the rest of the canvas coverings.  I also have the original sales contract that will go with the Jeep.  I have long wanted to restore this for myself, since I learned to drive on it.  However, I have come to the realization that there will never be the money for me to do it, and my son really has no interest in it or a place to keep it when it is done, so it is time to get it into the hands of someone that will re-do it and enjoy it.  Pretty much any and all parts that might be needed are available.

Payment will be $100 deposit paid with PayPal within 48 hours of the end of the auction.  The remainder needs to be paid with cash or CC within 30 days of the end of the auction.   I can keep it right where it sits for 6 months with no charge to you, and if you are not able to handle the restoration yourself, we might discuss my doing it for you.  To see what I do, go to      buzzardroostmotors.com   .   Feel free to call me, at 870-421-1693 days or 870-425-8507 evenings to ask any questions you might have.  My web site has all my contact info and my email address so you can ask for more pics if you want.  I can deliver the Jeep anywhere in the US for $1.25 per mile  one way.  I am in north central Arkansas.”

1946 VEC? CJ-2A Bellevue, WA $20,000

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

This jeep has been refurbished. The column shift and grille have been changed. Unclear if it still has the tool indents.

“Full frame up restoration using 2 donors and a New-old-stock parts source.

Original engine, etc. A few things are new (grill, wheels), as I haven’t found the original parts yet. Also, converted to a floor shifter, because the column shifters were horrible.

Less than 5k miles since restoration. Works as a daily driver, or take care of the rest of the cosmetic stuff and have a show car.

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

The seller claims the only body mod is the hood scoop, but the drain hole has been filled and the bow holders removed. I’m only being picky, because the seller wants a lot for it.  This does have the square bow holder windshield brackets, three data plates, and the full floating rears. This must have been a really early VEC. It only has 1 hood latch.

“THIS MOSTLY ORIGINAL JEEP FEATURES AN UPGRADED, LATER MODEL JEEP 4 CYLINDER OHV ENGINE IN PLACE OF ITS ORIGINAL “GO DEVIL” FLAT 4. THE MORE POWERFUL ENGINE CAME WITH AN IMPROVED CARBURETOR ( REQUIRING A HOOD SCOOP-ITS ONLY BODY MOD). THE RED EXTERIOR BODY IS ALL ORIGINAL. THE INTERIOR HAS THE ORIGINAL BUCKET SEATS COVERED IN BAMBOO VINYL. ALL THE GUAGES ARE INSTALLED AND WORKING PROPERLY,AS WELL AS ALL LIGHTS WORK. HAS AN OPTIONAL FACTORY HEATER INSTALLED.
