“I am looking to trade my 1946 Willys CJ2A. I have owned it for the past 6 months with the intention of restoring it. The person I purchased it from owned it for the last 35 years and it was stored inside. It had a partial restoration at some point during those 35 years.

The motor runs well and has great oil pressure. The transmission in it was bad and I have since replaced it with a transmission/transfer case from another jeep. It has a new gasket and seal kit and the gears of both looked very good. I also replaced the TO bearing while I had it apart. The clutch and pressure plate looked good. The trans is 90% hooked up. It needs the e brake and drive shafts hooked up.

Looks like this is restorable.

“I have a Ford Jeep body only (no frame) with windshield frame, hood, and extra fenders (est. 1947).
Parts could be used as parts for a jeep restoration or to build a ‘rat rod’ project.
I have title and some other parts.”

(10/22/2015) It runs and rives.

1945 VEC CJ-2A Griffin, GA **SOLD**

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2200.

(02/24/2016) Looks to be a mix of VEC and non VEC parts. The windshield and tranny are incorrect at the very least. Seems to have the correct rear hubs.

“The CJ-2A was the very first model of the civilian Jeeps. 1945 was the first year of production and this is one of those bearing serial number 11086. It is in need of restoration but the vehicle is all there, engine, transmission, all running gear, very good shape for age. The first of the are tagged as “Very Early Civilian” or VEC, which this is one of. Original color was green which is one of the two colors available in 1945. Call with questions.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was sold for $6200 at an auction. Now listed for $12,000. Seller claims wife won’t let him keep it anymore (as if the seller had owned it a while), so he must sell it. 

“Willy’s Military Jeep with roll cage, shovel, axe, fuel can, front tow bar. This is a very well kept specimen that appears to be mostly original, unmolested and authentic.”

2016 Trip to-and-from the FC Roundup

<– See Overview of Trip Posts | Beginning | Day 1: Friday March 9: Oh, the Inhumanity! –>

UPDATE: Thanks to everyone who offered to read the book! I’ve selected a couple readers. I will do my utmost to get the book finished so everyone can get a copy.

On Wednesday afternoon we begin our drive to the FC Roundup. We’ll be on the road just under three weeks. We’ve got several tours, a giant fork, a wild west town, an art museum, a ride in a GPW, dinner on a plane, a photo op with a (mostly) naked book seller, lunch at 13,000 feet, and much more planned. Of course, we’ll also have a busy couple days of FC fun at Jesse’s.

This is a rough map of our planned trip.

On another note, I’ve printed seven “proof” versions of my next book. I plan to do one more sweep through the book to refine it, build an index, and look for errors. The book is a non-fiction 450-page book that has nothing to do with jeeps. I hope to have the book finished by the Fall of 2016.
