1946 CJ-2A Essexville, MI $1300

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

It’s a project.

For Sale are several items. First is a 1946 Jeep CJ2A. This Jeep has a 4.3L V6 in it. Extra parts the Jeep has are as follows: two windshields (one solid, one that splits in half), two aluminum doors, home made bumpers, two hoods, two steering columns, extra front and rear axle, two extra transmissions and transfer cases. Old set of tires and rims. I was planning a disk conversion and have a new XJ pedal assembly with a new clutch and brake master cylinder (the old is still attached, have a new master cylinder for that also). I also have the seats out of an XJ for this Jeep. I also have a new aluminum radiator. Unfortunately, it is mostly in parts right now, the body and motor/transmission are on the frame, but it is not in running order. Asking $1300 (this vehicle has a title).

Separately, I have an unused Rancho 2.5 inch lift kit for a CJ2A with RS-5000 shocks and the swing shackles (these were extra, not included in the kit). Asking $550 (firm) for the entire kit (has 4 springs, 4 shocks, swing shackles and hardware). 

Lastly, I have a set of Advance Adapters Jeep outside frame rail headers (PN 717019-HDR, one is painted black, the other is still bare steel, also have the gaskets). These are also unused. Asking $250 for these (firm).”

Needs a few parts.

It missing the radiator and need a battery but other than that it’s all there. The engine is free and will turn over with a battery hooked up to it. It is a former army jeep and the title has been lost over time. Would make a great restoration project I just don’t have the time for it right now. Fill free to call or text me with any questions or for more pictures.”

Parting Willys Wagon Wilmore, KY

• CATEGORIES: Bantam-FordGP-WillysMA-EarlyJPs This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Tim forwarded this parts rig.

I’m getting ready to scrap an old 1948 or 1949 Willys station wagon. There isn’t much on it that is any good at all, except for the desirable Overdrive transmission. It I’m pretty sure the trans is a T-96 model. The trans is still in the car, and you will have to remove it yourself.

Want to buy the transmission?
Bring your tools and $75 cash.

Want to buy the whole car?
Bring a trailer, your own wheels and tires and $76 cash.

Want to buy the whole Willys and the dolly that it is sitting on?
Bring your own wheels and tires and $425 cash?

Just to be perfectly clear, there is no way that the wheels and tires are going with this. I need them for another vehicle. The wheels are 5 bolt with a 4 1/2 inch bolt pattern, the same as Ford Rangers, Crown Victorias, Mercury Marquis, etc.”

Lee’s decided to sell his CJ-2A.

“This is a 1947 CJ 2 A. This Jeep was bought new  in Calif.by the Edison Co.  and used for four years and then sold. My friend bought it from the Edison Co. in Calif. and then took it up to his cabin in the Sierra mountains and used it.  It was stored in a shed when not used. Then it was moved  to his hangar and stored and that is where it is now.  That was 49 years ago! I am the third owner since new. I have owned this Jeep for over 8 year. This Jeep has very little rust. I had the rims  sand blasted and painted and installed 5 new tires and tubes.

5 new tires and tubs
rims sand blasted and painted
very little rust
not running
$4,700.00 or trade for 1978 to 1985 CJ 7”

Jeep Rustling by the Navy

• CATEGORIES: Artists/Drawings, Features, Old News Articles This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

This article shares some of the jeep rustling that went on during WWII. One of protections against rustling that I’ve encountered is that driver’s would grab the rotor from the distributor to keep other military folks from stealing their jeeps.

Note that the ice cream story from yesterday has expanded to five gallons!

Jeep lashed to Submarine Deck

• CATEGORIES: Features, Old News Articles This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Yesterday I featured an ad that related a story about jeeps lashed to the decks of Submarines.

This article was published in the February 10, 1944 issue of the Eugene Register Guard:

1944-02-10-eugene-register-submarine-jeep

I found this article on page 5 of the January 10, 1944, edition of the Southeast Missourian Newspaper:

1944-01-10-jeep-lashed-to-deck

 

 

 

And from page 2 of the February 10, 1944, issue of the Spokane Daily Chronicle:  1944-02-10-jeep-lashed-to-deck

 

 

And, on a note of trivia, I found this gem at an archived site:

In World War II, Burton Baskin of Baskin Robbins fame, was a quartermaster who began his ice cream career by trading a jeep for an ice cream freezer

Now, I don’t know if that’s true as I couldn’t verify it anywhere else, but a fun fact if true.
