1946 CJ-2A Palm Desert, CA **SOLD**

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was on eBay.

It’s no reserve auction currently at only $102.50. Certainly worth that! I’m less convinced about the ‘extremely collectable’ claim.

    Collectible or not, this one looks stunning. Auction is up to $3050 (Sat 9:30 MST). I put it on my eBay “Watch List” so I can see what it ultimately sells for.
    Do you recognize that steering upgrade, Dave?

    I think this was posted for sale awhile back. I think he used it to go to the boat marina. I think I commented about the relatively plain tires and wheels for such a fancy jeep?

    Looks like a saginaw steering unit up front. I’d guess a GM steering column of some type.

    It’s 2021 and i’m the proud new owner of this jeep. I think it’s been passed down to atleast 2 other folks and i’m the third. Crazy how I ran into it on this site!

    Does anyone know the original owner by any chance 😀

    Hi SJ,

    It sure looks like a good build. I hope you’ve been enjoying it!
    Unfortunately, I don’t have a lead on who originally built it. It’s also been updated enough that if the original owner were still alive (if the original owner of this 1946 had been a 20 year old for example, they’d be 95 now), he/she might not recognize it anyway.

    Enjoy your weekend,

    – Dave
