UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price
The more rusted one looks like it has a VEC body.

This has been parked for 18 Years. Possibly a VEC Body.
“Was parked about 18 years ago due to: Leaking rear main seal, poor/no brakes, and finally a broken ignition wire. Has been waiting patiently for resto since. Early and rare tub with leftover war stampings with axe and shovel relief. Willys stamped hood, correct and original windshield frame, and tailgate. 12V. It wants a complete resto but could be going down the road without a huge effort. Rusted and patched up many time in the past 65 years… It will need trailerd home.
$2000 or similar trade for: Honda/Yamaha Utility 4 wheeler or Toyota 4×4 that is not beat and rusted away.”
The windshield suggests this might be a VEC. Looks like there is plenty of value. Note that the pics are two years old.
“I have an international Tractor with a loader. I need a good offer on it. Need to sell fast. has been disassembled by an idiot.

(02/04/2011) This might have a VEC body.
“Very clean 1946 Willys Jeep, 327 Chevy motor, Dana 44 with locker in rear. Dana 27 upfront. Dana 18 transfercase adapted to 350 turbo trans.
4 wheel disc breaks with SS break lines. All new springs & shocks. New wiring harness and guages. Power steering. New tires and rims.

This appears to have a VEC CJ-2A Body.
“For sale a 1948 Willys Jeep. V6 buick engine, TH350 transmission. 33X12.5 BFG All Terrain tires in good shape. Four wheel drive works good, Hi/Low transfer case works good as well. Heavy duty bumpers front and rear, with rear receiver hitch. Front ford disc brakes only, rear brakes do not exist, carbureator needs a kit, accelerator pump doesn’t function properly, has a new battery. Fun vehicle to drive. Previous owner used it as a River Rat Call 402-two 6 nine-five 6 zero 1. I will not reply to email.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $7000. The new pics show the column shift much better.
Mike noted that this is a column shift. He suggests this is a VEC CJ-2A between #14000 and #38000.
(10/10/2010) This sports a fiberglass body.

This has the tool indents, but doesn’t have the rear floating hubs.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
“Recently retired and I have too many projects. I need to sell this one to help finish my other antique truck. This is an earlier 46 Willys with the 3 speed on the column. It’s all there and with a fresh battery and some gas it should start. I just replaced the stater switch and cleaned the gas tank. It will need to trailered or hauled and I can help with loading.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
(08/15/2012) The seller neglects to mention the lack of tool indents on the body.
“You are looking at my 1945 Willys Jeep with 3 speed on the column. Very sought after jeep as it is true to the descripition or history I have looked up on the Net as to column shift. There was only 1824 made the first year as they were made with the last of the war jeeps that came down assembly line. Now about this jeep. it was given a new body and paint, Paint color is harvest tan and if you go to color code for 1945 at kasier willys catalog it is a brown like color. it has had all wiring replaced, It is still original 6 volt but with new wires. Engine was gone through a few years back and purrs like a kitten. All numbers match as being the frame tag, inner hood tag and the dash tags. All shown in the pictures. There is no rust. Only problem area is around windshield frame as it might need fixed in a few years but does not look bad at this time. i also have the original hitch that goes to the jeep as it needs painted and bolted on. Really nice original hitch. I have had several comments on how unique it is and it turns alot of heads when it rides down the road. As many people see the old military jeeps from that year but hardly see a CJ2A civilian jeep today.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500
This needs some work. I don’t see any tool indents, but it does have a column shift.
“1946 willys jeep this is three on the tree colum shift with over drive this jeep is stock very rare runs great needs brake work some wiring”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
It looks like this probably had a column shift. It definitely has full floating rear hubs. It also has the square washers on the windshield and the MB like brackets.
“1945 Willys Only 1,824 Units built. Willy’s is in pretty good Shape, Transmission and rear end have been overhauled. It is a 4 cylinder flathead engine. Engine runs well.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500
(04/12/2012) This looks like a VEC Body.
“1947 Willys Jeep
Has a 4 cyl motor has been converted to 12 volt, has spin on filter, new Plastic gas tank, very little rust for its age!
runs and drive Great!
I have the clean Texas Title in hand”
No pics provided.
“This is a very rare late 45 willys jeep. California black plate,no rust. It has column shift,pto and king seely govoner. Original pasture green with yellow wheels Black top. .Runs and drives great.Everything is original on this jeep.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
This doesn’t run, but it has floating hubs, which suggests this might be a VEC. This doesn’t have a column shift.
“Nice little cj2a. NO rust, nice shape, not running”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(04/15/2012) This appears to be a VEC body. I wonder what the purpose of the mini roll bar loop.
“COLLECTORS ITEM – 1946 Willys Overland Jeep CJ2A. One previous owner 19,000 original miles, and runs great. Hi and Low Range 4WD. Warren hubs, heavy duty wench and the engine has small oil leaks. The tires are in excellent condition. Please call Steve for more information or pictures. 406-270-4623.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500/strong>
(12/13/2011) This looks like it still has the column shift mechanism on it, though it’s been switched to a floor shift.
“46 Willys CJ2A Jeep. All stock original. Needs work but runs. Asking $1500.00 or best. Call 1-630-862-4295 for more information or to come take a look. Thank you for looking.”
Fabulous deal! This will go quick. It even runs! I want it!
“1946 Willy’s CJ2A Jeep. The good – I brought this up from Colorado so it is not a complete rust bucket , has been converted to 12 volt, runs and drives enough to be loaded on a trailer. The Bad – Brakes are dried up and will need rebuilt, Flywheel ring needs replaced. This jeep sat in a field for 15 years, I changed the oil, lubed the cylinders and primed with fresh gas and it fired right up. Sounds real smooth once you get past the old gas. I have driven it around the yard to move it , but never no distance due to No Brakes. Great for Parts or to Fix up. Asking 700.00 obo will provide bill of sale or can assist with title work.”
Here’s a nice looking militarized VEC CJ-2A with a rear PTO.
“Built between July and Dec.1945. Sold as a 1946. 3 speed on the column,Restored, parade ready or show. $8500 Call only 815-762-0992”

This needs some turn signals/running lights in the front. Otherwise, this looks nice.
“Buick V6 motor, truck 4 speed with granny low, positraction, dual fuel tanks, power steering.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
It runs and drives.
“1946 willys CJ-2A, original column shift, It runs & drives, strong little engine. Body is rough and rusted out in places.. Ramsey 8000lb winch included. Also have lots of spare parts, including another engine and tranny, grilles, differentials, wheels, frames, you name it, i probably have it if its for a Willys. would like to make a package deal for a fair price. engine, tranny/transfer case and drivetrain are worth at least, or more than the asking price, check ebay and you will agree.
$ 1,200.00 cash or best offer for jeep ONLY, with extra parts for sale if you want to deal, im sure we can make a deal thats attractive and fair. I will consider delivery within 75 miles if we make a deal on jeep and some of the extras.”
