This Willys CJ2A has a vintage army camo paint job. Jeep still has its original seats, wheels, windshield glass, engine, drivetrain, etc. Brakes are not working.

The cj2a is a 1946 but runs on unleaded gas and can pass inspection. Has year of origin plate, ruddy security council, marine radio and speakers, warn over drive, 4 cylinder motor, spare tire, winch, locking differential.

Please don’t offer me half of asking price or ask me questions if you are not sure what you are looking at/ getting into with this vehicle.”

“Restored a few years ago, with only 23 miles put onto it since then. Yes, 23 miles.

-Body was removed and professionally painted
-Engine was professionally rebuilt. Full tear down and rebuild
-Has factory installed 3 point hydraulic hitch
-Comes with plow attachment
-New brake cylinders and new brakes
-Converted to 12volt
-Currently non-opted with $0 back DMV fees
-Comes with original owner’s manual
-New tires

After WW2, Willys started to produce vehicles that could be multi-purpose. They wanted to build a truck that could complete with a tractor on the farm, so there were a bunch of factory options you could order the truck with.
This one has a factory installed hydraulic lift on the back. This was so you could pull a plow ( which comes with the truck ) or any number of other accessories. It could be disconnected if desired though.

The Jeep also comes with the rear seats and tailgate which could be installed if the hydraulic hitch is removed. “

“I’m currently working on a hand built rock buggy that started life as a 1946 Willys flatfender Jeep. I’m still working on it when time allows but I’m willing to let it go if someone wants to make a decent offer. This project is still a long way from being finished but the chassis is fully welded, suspension is complete minus shock mounts, drivetrain is positioned, engine accessories in place, radiator mount half finished, etc. A lot of tube work, body work, all the small details, and finishing work are still needed. You could say it’s basically a good rolling chassis.

100% of the work up to this point has been done by me over the last several years. The frame is 2x4x0.125 box tubing and the round tube is mostly 1.5×0.120 DOM. The 2” roll cage tubing is HREW I believe. Motor mounts, radiator mounts, most of the suspension link mounts are hand made since I didn’t want to compromise with pre-fab stuff.
