UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was $2000

The engine is seized.  I can’t tell if this is an early or late ’46.

“i have a 1946 willys cj-2a with a clean title that is midway through a frame up restoration. it ran and drove great but the engine seized. it is an all steel body with zero rust but isn’t perfect.. its in primer right now and needs brake work other then an engine rebuild or a new engine. the jeep will come with many extra parts. the jeep is located outside of Oostburg. it will have to be hauled away on a trailer. e-mail with any questions and to set up a time to see it.  im asking 2000 obo trades a possibility. i also have a PTO for sale. the rear unit the drive shaft and where it bolts to the transfer case.”

Nothing fancy, but sounds like a good, strong drive train.

It sure looks like this jeep has been well maintained by the same family for over 50 years.

“This jeep has been the family for over 50 years. The original 4 cylinder engine has 47,000 miles on it and runs great. It has the standard 3 speed manual transmission, transfer case with high and low range, 4 wheel drive, and lock out hubs. The soft top and tires are new. The 6 foot plow and a full size cover are included with the jeep. It has the original 6 volt system including lights, gauges, generator, and battery. I also added a 12 volt battery connected directly to the starter for easy starting even on the coldest winter days. This jeep has been well cared for and maintained over the years.”

Well, at least it runs …

“1946 Willys Jeep, Flathead Head 4 cyl engine, manual trans, full time front 4wd axle, the engine runs but needs overhauled. The brakes need work. The body is rusted but the frame is in good shape. It has been converted to 12 volts. Also includes an extra set of original style tires.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000

“rebuilt 231 v-6. 331 gears, front disk brakes, new paint and interior, new glass, runs and looks great. 4 wheel drive works good.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3600.

This looks like it has a nice, vintage top.  The rest of the jeep looks in good shape, too.

“1946 Jeep Willys. Small block V8. New muffler, alternator, wiring, lift – all professionally done.
Newer tires. Ultimate hunting vehicle.”

I doubt it will fetch the ‘buy it now price’ of $5400.  And, it has plenty of rust and dents that will require some work to remove, however there’s a lot to like about it.  Lots of pics on eBay.

“The current owner has owned this jeep for 25 years and it has 61,504 original miles. Fifteen years ago, the owner and his late wife took a road trip from Urbana, Illinois down to Cairo, Illinois and back up through Kentucky and Ohio. It ran perfectly the whole way. When the jeep was purchased in 1984 the title was in both the owner and his wife’s name and was re-issued in 1998 in his name only after his wife passed away…”
