1945 VEC CJ-2A Wausau, WI **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: Was $1500. Sold at that price, but seller backed out. Resold for $4000, but then buyer backed out. **SOLD**

You are looking at #11579. It has the correct rear hubs, column shift, windshield, and tool indents. No doubt this will be gone by the time I wake up Wednesday morning.

“We have a 1946 Willy’s Jeep for sale. This jeep has been sitting in storage for about 30 years. It ran when it was put away but currently will not turn over. It not in bad shape for being 69 year old.”

John shared these photos taken by his cousin Eddie.

“My cousin Eddie Bachmann got drafted in May 1944, ended up south of the battle of the Buldge around Hagenau, France, in january 1945 as a mortar man. The 42 Division went on to liberate Dachau in April 1945 and by mid summer were occupation troops in Zell am See, Austria. By that time he was a 6 stripe Sergeant and still only 18. Here are some photos of his buddies and Jeeps. He later became a Catholic priest.”
