This may be a fairly early VEC. Had a column shift, has tool indents, and has the squares on the windshield.
“1946 willys, as far as I know all original. Ran great up till we stored it in pole barn, some 10 or more years ago. Has a fuel pump issue now. Got good tires, (not original). Its been sitting in pole barn and needs a new home.”

You growing “collection” needs this one, Dave 😉
Saw those square windshield washers right away… seems complete and not a bad price considering all the early VEC features!
Should an early Vec have floating rear hubs?
Joe: If my collection grows any more I will need to move into the dog house …
Chris: Good question. Only early VECs (lol, that’s sort of funny to say) had the rear hubs. The latest VEC CJ-2A documented to have them was #13453, according to this page: https://www.thecj2apage.com/history.html
