UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was $12,500

(09/07/2013) This great looking 2A is almost early enough to be a VEC.

“Selling a 1946 Willys CJ2A (serial # 34587)-

This is an all original, numbers matching jeep. It was a barn find, purchased by my father in 2005, from Eastern Washington. He has completed a full frame-off restoration on this project. It is his third completed project (has restored a CJ3B & M38A1 as well) and he is looking to sell in order to free up space for another build. Jeep’s restoration was completed over 4 years. All receipts were keep and total over 9k. Included in the sale is a photo album of original owner with jeep’s history, and photos of the restoration process.

Full frame-off restoration:
6-volt converted to 12-volt system (original 6-volt parts included).
Original L-Head 4cyl, complete overhaul (block resurfaced, valves, pistons, timing chain, etc) w/ papers.
Column shift 3 speed, with Warn Overdrive (tranny & clutch were rebuilt, w/ papers).
Overhauled carburetor, new vacuum hoses w/ papers.
New fuel tank, sending unit, w/ papers.
New speedo (original included), fuel gauge, oil pressure gauge, w/ papers.
Rebuilt distributor, w/ papers.
Radiator – boiled and sealed, new hoses, w/ papers.
New electrical connectors, flasher, switch, wires, and horn.
New brake lines, master cylinder, brake cable, and wheel cylinders.
New battery.
Starter re-manufactured w/ papers.
New exhaust & muffler.
New shocks and shackles.
Rebuilt fuel pump & new belt, w/ papers.
Rebuild kit for steering bell crank, new connecting & tie rods.
New best-top, customized to “fit”.
Reupholstered seats.
New paint (body, wheels, head, & frame). Up until serial number 38221, the CJ-2A only came in two colors–Pasture Green and Harvest Tan. Painted to match Pasture Green….

I am probably missing some details of this restoration. Please email me with any questions and I’ll be happy to try an answer or will direct you to my father for further information.

This CJ2A needs nothing, is complete, and was restored to be an accurate representation of the era. All parts that were “up-graded” were done to improve reliability and drive-ability of this project. All original parts will be included with the sale. Jeep has 66k original miles, 1,100 since restoration. Has original number plates & badges. Also comes with original tool kit & manual”

Roger Martin forwarded these photos of his father (James “PeeWee” Martin) and others. He wrote, “I thought you and others would enjoy seeing pictures of the WWII Veterens, who gathered at Taccoa, GA this past weekend for the 71st anniversary of their training at Currahee Mountain.  These were the first and “original”  G Company 506 101st Airborne Division Paratroopers  who parachuted behind enemy lines at Normandy the night before D-Day.  Currahee Military Weekend has become an annual, three-day event in Stephens County.  There are book signings, interviews, military reenactors, a parade, and tours of the Historical Society Museum and Military Museum. The pictures I have sent include Paul Grice’s (Waynesville, OH), 1942 GPW Ford Jeep which he loaned me, and I hauled 500 miles to the event.”

Col. Tom Kennedy (age 92), Ira Morehart (age 90), and James “PeeWee” Martin (age 92) are pictured:

In Long Island City there’s a warehouse that’s become a canvas for graffiti artists (by permit only). Apparently, the warehouse is going to be taken down, so Yahoo featured some of its art. One of the scenes depicts what appears to be a FJ-6 Ice Cream jeep.

You can see the yahoo article here: http://news.yahoo.com/photos/graffiti-mecca-in-long-island-city-queens-ny-is-threatened-1381434599-slideshow/

Here’s a link to a Flickr photostream with other photos: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nelsonminar/6289798567/in/photostream/
