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

“I want to sell my 1946 Jeep Willys. Have done everything to her except paint! Too manyh items done to it to list but I just now started it after over a year of sitting and she fired right up. The Can has been replaced, in black primer and many other things. I used it for many years at my land but I sold it this spring and it is just sitting now and I have no where to use it. I knew the prior owner and he owned it almost before I was born and I’m in my 60’s.”

VEC CJ-2A Body Bainbridge Island, WA $550

• CATEGORIES: Body Parts • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Has some floor patches.

https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/pts/d/bainbridge-island-cj2-body-tub/6796910049.html

vec-cj2a-body-kitsap

“CJ2 body tub with Ax and Shovel indents like the WWII Willys MB or Ford GPW; AND it has the tailgate in the back like the CJ2A’s. It is in restore-able condition. All the body fabrications/sub-assemblies are readily available on line. Not the greatest shape; but rare enough that it is worth restoring over the standard CJ2A body. Will fit in a full size pickup.

This tub could always be fitted with the gadgets to carry the Ax and Shovel – all the gadgets, straps, and even ax and shovel are available on line. It probably wouldn’t be stock to do this but it would be cool!

Asking $550. Would consider trading for other early flat fender parts. ”

1946 VEC? CJ-2A Lynchburg, VA **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5200.

Thanks to Chris for sharing this one. Looks like a good price.

“restoration. The engine and transmission were rebuilt and the frame sand blasted and painted. Since I have owned it for the last 5 years I have also rebuilt the steering box and linkage along with various other fixes. The tires are only a few years old and have plenty of life left. The carburetor has been rebuilt as well.
While doing the drive train rebuild I brought this jeep back to a column shift which it was originally. I drive this jeep all the time and it has been tremendous fun. Only reason for selling is that I have another one and do not have room for two.”

“I am selling a 1946 Jeep Willys CJ2A that we’ve owned for 20 years. It is in really good condition for its age with some normal rust under the floorboards which have been repaired. It has a 4 cylinder Willys engine which runs really good. The clutch works great and the 3 speed transmission and transfer case shifts very well. The brakes work as they should. There is some play in the steering wheel. The steering wheel itself is not original as it was replaced by my husband so he could fit in the driver seat! Electrical was converted to 12 volts. The tires are like new and the seats were reupholstered and have no tears in them. It comes with a 6000# Ramsey electric winch with a wired remote control. It also has a tow bar which is included.
Some issues: there is a small oil leak at the rear differential bearing shaft, the passenger side windshield is cracked, the odometer and the fuel gauge are not working and there are some minor electrical issues with the lights.
If you are familiar with the 1946 Willys, you know that it is a good investment if you decide to have it fully restored. For information, the NADAguides list it at $7,450 for Low Retail, $19,100 for Average Retail and $33,400 for High Retail.
I am asking $7,950.00 or best offer. CASH only. Serious inquiries only please.”

1946 VEC CJ-2A Brigham City, UT **SOLD**

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

UPDATE:**SOLD** Was $3200.

(08/20/2018) When you need to fit the radiator, just cut the hood!

“First generation of mass produced consumer Jeeps/Willys. This is a project vehicle. It currently has a Buick v6 swap in it (super common, it’s what jeep used from the factory in the 60’s and gives a substantial power upgraded from the sluggish 60hp inline 4). I’m not sure if it runs or not, never got around to testing it. Dried coolant around one of the heads leads me to believe it will need a rebuild. Odometer reads around 50k miles, not sure when the swap was completed though. Rust is minimal considering the vehicles age. The worst in the standard spots under the driver seat and near the side rails. Body’s straight, shows no signs of ever being in an accident. Clean title in hand.”
