This appears to have an early tub.

“Calling all Vintage Jeep Lovers! This one is a project for just the right person. This vintage jeep was in the process of being redone when the owner died suddenly. The body, transmission, and engine are surprisingly sound. The owner had taken many parts off and had obtained replacements including seats, and electrical wiring, but unfortunately was unable to finish the project. As you can see in the photo, it includes a front tow bar. Again, its a project but great when done! ”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer.

The 2A appears to be a VEC, but it looks more like a ’46.

“1945 & 53 Willy’s Jeeps For Sale / B.O. for both. (No splitting them up).
1945 is the one with the top/plow and is pretty much complete. The other is the 53, this one is pretty much a parts unit. Both Jeep’s need lots of work, but if you’re a Jeep fanatic they are diamonds in the ruff. Both are extremely hard to find, so no lowballing. . . ”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.

Possible VEC.

“1946 willy cj-2a jeep…fair condition…16″ wheels…all 3 matching tags…correct seat frames…starts, runs, drives, shifts…needs brake + carb work (doesn’t idle well)…asking $1500…VT. doesn’t issue titles for older vehicles…sold with bill of sale”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2995.

(04/29/2015) Based on the serial number this should be a VEC, but there are no tool indents.

“In July 2013 I purchased this jeep as a restoration project for my husband. He had begun the basics. The awesome thing is it ran great & we had taken it, playing in the desert, numerous times. He was diagnosed with cancer Jan. 2014 & crossed over 55 days later. Although I hate to part with it… It deserves more than just sitting in a garage.”

UPDATE: Seller ended last auction. Buy-it-now price dropped to $8000.
