1945 VEC CJ-2A Idaho **SOLD**

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

UPDATE:  This popped up for sale last night for only $800!  I knew it would go quickly, so I notified an Idaho reader about it late last night.  He called this morning (first person to call) and had a deal worked out to pick it up tomorrow.  The reader called at lunch to ask an additional question, only to learn the seller sold it out from underneath him to someone else.  I hope the buyer knows what they got.

The serial number (verified by a photo that I didn’t download) was #10300.

“This is a very early 1945 Willys CJ2A Jeep. The VIN is 10300 which makes it number 300!! Transmission is froze-up. Would be a great project.”

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2400.

This has full floating hubs in the rear, so this could be part military or part early VEC CJ-2A.  However, there are a few other details that suggest this just might be a collection of various parts.

“Drives and Runs well and in good condition. Recent upgrades to brake system and rear and front internal gears etc.  call for appointment if serious about collecting this gem. Needs minor electrical and a paint upgrade. Have clear title”

1946 VEC CJ-2A Greenfield, Ca **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price.

(06/28/2012) The serial number on this is #13346.  The column shift is gone, but the full floaters appear to be there (and is one of the last few made before they eliminated that feature), along with the tool indents.

” * * * TRADE, SELL * * * Whatever……. I’m open to anything. Guns, planes, motorcycles, cool unique cars, trucks.

I purchased this 46 from my engine builder who had this in his barn for 10 years. This was one of @ 10 jeeps used on his property as a hunting vehicle. When I bought it it had the newer model engine in it with a cut in the hood to allow the air cleaner to protrude out the top. He had an original flathead completely rebuilt on a crate wrapped in plastic that came with the deal. You have to know this guy, his machine shop is insane and his quality of work is tops. As I said, they have a bunch of these willys on this property over the years and this was his last one. His intent was to fix it up and out this rebuilt flathead in it. The newer model engine originally in the car when I purchased it apparently ran but was way down on power according to my guy when he drove the Willys into the barn. So I never messed with this engine. Out it came and in went the rebuilt flathead engine. I purchased over $1500 in parts from Ron Fitzpatricks jeep parts. New Carb, new brake master, new engine mounts, new steering piviots and all the parts from the box to the wheels (less the actual rods). New Hood. Had the fuel tank and radiator cleaned but I’m not happy with either of those jobs. Had the starter and generator completely gone through. Brand new 8 volt battery. New Distributor, all new air box and complete system to the carb. New Fuel Pump, New water pump and clutch plate and throw out bearing. New gas peddle and all new linkage to the carb from the peddle as well. New choke cable and new ground wires. Actual Mileage…… HA who knows. . . . ”

1946 CJ-2A Atkinson, WI $2000

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

This has an early body.

“I thought I would throw my Willys on here to see if there was any interest. It is a 46, has a ford 302, ford 9″ rear end with a spool, dana 44 front end, dana 300 twin stick transfer case, and runs and drives pretty well. It does need some work. It could use new leaf springs (which I have) the lights wired, a little body work, and gauges hooked up. I was using it as a big ATV, but lost access to the land I was driving it on. I don’t have a title for it, but I can get one for it if that is a deal breaker. I don’t NEED to sell it, but I want to see what I might be able to get for it since I don’t use it any more. Don’t be afraid to make me an offer. It’s a fun little toy or a drivable project that would be pretty bad ass when it’s finished.

I’m asking $2000 or best offer”

1946 CJ-2A San Juan Mountains, Co eBay

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

This appears pretty stock.  It will probably restore pretty nicely.

“Serial number is 35945.  Odometer shows 36,262 miles and I am told that this is original mileage.  Has been garaged for many years.  All original.  Clear title.  Used to tool around the mountains of Southwestern Colorado.  Good running condition.  Four wheel drive works well in both high and low range.  Since it has been in Colorado all its life, no rust problems.  Has been repainted.

After it came out of storage, I had the following repairs done to it to return it to a safe driving condition;

  • all hoses and belts have been replaced
  • new distributor cap, rotor, spark plugs and wires
  • front differential cover replaced
  • radiator flushed and new antifreeze added.
  • left rear brake drum rebuilt
  • new steering bell crank and drag link
  • new battery

Good tires, also has three other tires and wheels.  Has two sets of doors with hardware.  One set is original.  Has the back cover.  Comes with owners manual, mechanics manual and two boxes of extra parts.  Has Warn locking hubs.

A true classic that has not been messed with or altered !”

1949 CJ-2A Forestville, Wi $850

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

The body, windshield (square washers) and grille appear to be from an early ’46.

“Great running CJ2A Jeep with lockout hubs and starts great with strong engine…. body not so good but good enough for a cottage beater or workhorse around the farm… has a Wisconsin title and original rims with digger type tires…. brakes do not work, lights probably not also, but more uses than a 4 wheeler ATV!!…. Had planned on putting a different tub on the jeep and fixing it up but I have to many jeeps already and its to good to part out…. parts alone are well worth the 850.00 so the price is firm… will consider taking a different jeep in on partial trade, or jeep parts as I do have racks of parts that I use for projects…call 920-856-65three nine…. scammers wanting to send check with shipper need not respond…. ”

(05/21/2012) Note the golf cart story 🙂

“1946 Willys CJ-2A Jeep Very Early Civilian (VEC) Outstanding Condition!  This restored gem may be the cleanest ’46 you have ever seen.  No rust, no problems, everything works, it steers and stops like it did when new.  Has recent new master cylinder installed.  New exhaust system.  Even the grase fittings have been replaced.  6 volt battery is 1 year old.  Engine and transmission have been rebuilt and work great!  Fires right up and goes.  No smoke or missing.  Vehicle has been in our local Independence Day Parade 4 years in a row and gets lots of applause.  This is a real head turner.  Has small dent on driver’s side top bow holder where ex-girlfriend’s disobiedient son ran into it with my golf cart.  Jeep is here-they are gone!  I am turning my attention to other vehicle restorations and can’t keep them all.

Engine # is CJ2A 102908. I will throw in a rough colum shift assy I got from another Jeep, although it may not be complete. I do not have the top bows or any other accessories.”
