UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $600.
The data plates might be the best part of this jeep.
“Here is a 1946 Willys Jeep CJ2A that is shot but has some useable parts. Serial number 28759. The tub is shot. The frame is shot. The engine is frozen solid. I managed to remove 2 spark plugs and the other 2 broke off in the head. I filled the cylinders with ATF. Then my dumbass broke off an “easy out” in one of the plug holes. Now the head will have to come off to be repaired. 🙁 I do have the radiator for the jeep and it’s included in the sale. I do not have a title for the Jeep. All the data plates are there and match each other. Windshield does fold down. The tires are all 7.00-16. There are no tie rods on the front wheels. The trans shifts between 2nd and 3rd gear. But not between reverse and 1st. The transfer case levers both move. I will also give the winning bidder a hood, Grill and 2 fenders from a CJ3B. All beat up but better than nothing. ;)”
That’s a crusty one alright!
Here’s a prime example why there’s hardly any jeeps around here, Dave.
Well salted roads, well used and left outside in the elements adds up to this.
And as bad as this is somebody may puchase this and begin restoration on it just because it’s priced right and there’s not much in the CJ-2A world around here to choose from.
I’m a Brit, and my CJ2A (from MA) was much worse than this (although the engine was fine). I’d get stuck into it in a heartbeat though – just more of a challenge bringing it back. Or maybe I’m just stupid? 🙂
Might be worth the trip to Pa just to meet this guy- an honest seller!
Vince: While working on my jeep I’ve asked myself that same question 🙂
