UPDATE: Was $2500. **SOLD**

It’s not perfect, and doesn’t start, but for the price this is worth a look. The rear bumper is a little odd.

“Selling my 46 willys jeep cj2a, never get to drive it any more so it needs to go. Was running just fine but now wont start, probabaly an electrical issue or coil. Jeep is a very early 1946 vin# 19xxx. Has a really good body, has an F head motor out of a cj3b with an new after market carburator.”

What i have here is 2 jeeps. the blue one is 95% complete and what is there is all original equipment. i had the engine turning over and sputtering along. right front spring is rusted away. it has a clear pennsylvania title with it. the tan one has the engine missing, but the rest of it is there. transfer case is assembled, transmission is in pieces. the title has been applied for but there is no guarantee on it arriving before sale date. between the 2 of them there is more than enough parts to restore 1 really nice jeep, and have a lot of parts left to sell, i have just run out of time. they are rough, but restoreable, and would make a great project for somebody that has the time or needs the parts. contact me with any questions”

1946 CJ-2A Trabuco Canyon, CA eBay

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

No perfectly stock, but looks in good condition.  The serial number is 18936, but appears to be missing indents. I can’t tell if it has a column shift or not either.

“This item for auction is a rare Willys CJ2A Jeep. This is a “VEC” (“Very Early Civilian”) model as it was produced almost immediately after World War II. The VECs share many parts with the legendary 1941 to 1945 Jeeps and is just as indestructible.

I bought this in August as something to tool around in and take out to the desert. Due to health concerns, I’m no longer able to drive it.

The Jeep starts, runs, steers, stops rides etc very well. The motor fires right up and once warmed up, it has an idle as quiet as a sewing machine. The transmission shifts smoothly through all gears, the clutch works great and I just redid the front and rear brakes. The front floor pans were patched in the last few years and are very solid. If you look underneath, you can see where it was repaired. There’s no major body rust and the frame is straight. I replaced the front bumper too.

The Jeep is currently registered though March and has a clear title. It is exempt from onerous emission control regulations.”
