UPDATE: This seller also restored this CJ-2A with a similar theme.
A well executed and creative build. These are exactly the kinds of non traditional restorations I’d like to see more of that properly record the wide and varied deployment of the jeep.
The builder/seller writes, “1946 Willys V.E.C. CJ2A #14, 422 – County Sheriff Patrol Jeep: I’m relisting this beautiful Willys with a lower reserve. However, don’t make the mistake of believing that I’m giving it away! I just recognize that the market is soft right now. I know what I have put into this restoration. This is my fourth and final restoration of a 1946 Willys Civilian Jeep (CJ) 2A.
I became interested in the 1946 CJ-2A because it was the first production 4 wheel drive vehicle available to the public and is the grandfather of all modern SUVs. This particular CJ-2A restored as a Sheriff Patrol Jeep was restored as a tribute to my own Grandfather who was a deputy sheriff in Southern California during the 1940’s and early 1950’s. This CJ-2A is a faithful restoration of the type patrol vehicle that may have been used by the sheriff in the California, Nevada, Utah and Arizona back-country. The Federal siren and all Unity lights are period vintage police equipment. The STOP light on the left front fender is a vintage Griffin model used by Military Police on jeeps during the Second World War.
UPDATE: The status of this is unknown.
This is an extremely unusual flattie. The seller provides a great deal of info about it. It’s been featured in various magazines.
“1946 “Willys” Jeep CJ-2. The “Jeepilac” as it is known (Jeep with a Cadillac engine) was professionally built by Johnson Welding Works.

This vehicle was also featured in the movie “Smash Cut“.
