1946 VEC CJ-2A Chesterfield, MI **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $900.

(11/07/2010) This still has a little VEC left. SN# 14901.

“I have a project cj2a. It ran a little over a year ago when we started to take it apart to have the body redone. It needs new floor panels. The body and frame match numbers. I have everything for it. I personally just ran out of time. It is at the point where my mom wants it out of our garage. The frame motor trans are in great shape. The fenders are good and the windshield has good glass. It is #14901. Great project. I am asking 900 cash. I would consider partial trades but need at least 600 cash with the trade.”

1945 VEC CJ-2A Ishpeming, Mi $450

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

UPDATE:  Price dropped to $450

(05/21/2009) It appears this body sports an early CJ-2A body with a VIN number of 11891 (though the seller believes it to be a 1947 body).  At the very least, it’s got the driver side cutouts to validate the VIN number.  It’s hard to tell what else is original.

“This jeep was a project vehicle for our prop building studio. It was intended to be used in parades, promotional pictures, and promotional videos as a Cobra runabout. We got this far, before we just didn’t have the spare cash or time to pour into it any longer.  Serial Number appears to be 11891. The plate is still in place on the dash, but is pretty weathered, so the last digit may be off. You can judge for yourself, as I have added a pic of the Serial # plate…..”

This has some serious rust.  However, I think I see some tool indents, which suggests a VEC.

This ain’t no ’42 (as listed in the title to the Ad). I wish I could see those vin plates better. This sure looks like an original color.  Dayville is a pretty remote town in the middle of Eastern Oregon.  It’s a beautiful drive whether driving from the east or the west.

1946 VEC CJ-2A Scottville, Mi eBay

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

UPDATE:  This is back on eBay, again

(04/12/2010) The seller provides some good details on body issues.

“1946 Jeep CJ-2A Column Shift VIN # 37776. I have a clear Michigan title in my name. I bought this Jeep just about a year ago with the intent of restoreing it, but unforseen circumstances and my physical health have now made it impossible to do so. The Jeep has a really good hood and front fenders, both front foot pads have rust holes, both side panels have some rust at the bottoms, left side panel is dented at the rear, but solid. Right side has rusted thru at the rear where the wood supports are, and has a little more rust at the foot pad than the left side. It has a good tailgate, 4 military style tires w/orange wheels w/ the black pinstripe. Front floors have rust, rear is good, but is wavey from use. Windshied frame is rusted, but restoreable in my opinion. It only has the drivers seat. Along with the column shift, it has a Monroe hydrualic tank and control for a three point hitch, and has a few small peices of that on the rear bumper. One of the Monroe tanks sold on E-Bay for $300.00 by itself. The engine turns over freely, and in fact I started it breifly by pouring gas down the carb, just to make sure it ran. The tranny and tranfer case seem to shift well, and the frame looks good too! I have new front floor pans, wheel cylinder kits, a new six volt battery, and probably a few other small things too. This is a great Jeep to restore. The picture was taken just before I bought the Jeep last year. If you need more, I can take them, but I’m not real good at the picture/computer thing. If interested, call Mark at (231) 690-0868.”

1945 CJ-2A VEC #277 Goffstown, NH **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1900.

“1945 CJ2A. It is the #277 making it the 277 civilian jeep ever built. It starts, runs and drives. It shifts just fine and the transfer case works fine as does the 4 wheel drive. The drive train is complete and original. The brakes don’t work, most of the gages don’t work, the lights don’t work, there is no parking brake handle. It still has the 6 volt system but when I was driving it I believe it was running just off the battery. The motor sounds good but smokes at times but then it hasn’t been run for many years until recently and then only for a hour or so. It has a MB engine in it. It may be the original engine and then again it might not as they were making these side by side the WWII jeeps when this was made during the last part of the war. It has the front frame cover, original metal spoke steering wheel, original early parking lights and the very very early square washer windshield. Of course it is the early colum shift as well. This jeep is going to need repairs and parts to get it on the road and alot of work if your looking to restore it to 100% original, which I hope you will. The body while not bad is not as good as the pictures make it look. There is alot of amature body work on it. Fine if you just want to make it road worthy, but if restoring it you’ll have some work to do. you some. As you can see there is no gas tank, no seats and no tailgate. I had picked up many of the parts to restore this over the years but I’m not including them in the sale of the jeep, however they are available after if you need them. ”

It’s not much of a VEC any more, but it still has the indents at the very least.  The tires and rims appear in good condition.  This might be a good price.  The seller notes there is no rust, but there is an odd plate underneath the passenger step.

1945 VEC CJ-2A Comstock Park, MI **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

Here is a very early VEC #10928.

You are bidding on a very very early Willys civilian column shift CJ2A Jeep with serial # CJ2A 10928. They started with serial # 10,001 in 1945 on the civilian jeep so this jeep was the 928th civilian Willys off the production line after WWII. They only made 1824 civilian jeeps in 1945 and over 71,000 jeeps in 1946 so this is a very rare Willys.

It’s a column shift that has been converted to floor shift but still has the column shift transmission case and the column shift on the steering column.
All three serial number tags match, two on the body and one on the frame.
It has a working snow plow with hydraulic lift that runs off the motor (not electric). It runs, drives and the 4X4 works in high and low range, the drivers side floor has holes in it but the frame is solid, has a body panel over where the tail gate goes and has had side panels added covering the shovel & axe dents on the drivers side, but you can see them from the inside.

Comes with many new parts not installed as pictured like the parking brake handle & mechanism, 4 new rod ends, new bell crank rebuild kit, new center rear view mirror, new wood blocks for the hood, new tale pipe, one used wheel lock out, OE used column shift lever, and used OE cover that goes over the transmission hole.  I was going to restore it but I don’t have time or the room.  Has wider 15″ rims for the Michigan sand dunes.  I’m hoping for a good home with someone who will restore it.”

1946 VEC CJ-2A **SOLD**

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

UPDATE:  SOLD.

Dave let me know that this VEC is for sale over at the CJ-2A Page.  The seller hopes to sell the entire jeep, but if he can’t get it sold, he plans to part it out.  This has a serial number of #14575, so it is a very early CJ and it would be a shame to see this parted out.

You can see the thread related to this at The CJ-2A Page.
