Here’s a VEC #12110 that’s been militarized and ‘stickized’.
“This is a complete frame-off “down to bare metal” restoration of a VEC CJ2A Willys Jeep, S/N 12110. A jeep restored like this by a shop would cost well over $40,000 counting all the hours of “love” that went into the project. We took great care to ensure this jeep (which was manufactured on the same line as the last military jeeps) maintained as many original components as possible. Restoration began in December 2009 and we just completed it in August of 2010. You can see by the Buy It Now price that my reserve is between the starting price and the BuyItNow.
The original content of this jeep is about 95%. The jeep has the original (although converted to stick) column shift transmission. Everything on this jeep is completely restored or rebuilt. Please see pictures. We have many more pictures of the project from start to end. We have all receipts and documents and research and will provide a detailed book of the restoration process, all receipts and history of this particular jeep. The numbers on the hood are referenced from the Military database for this VIN number. Note that prior to our purchase of this restoration project, this jeep had the Leaf Springs replaced and also the Shackles were changed to a modern version by the prior owner. ….”
