1945 VEC CJ-2A Norman, OK **Status Unknown**

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

UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $3000.

It’s a project.

“This is referred to as a Very Early CJ (VEC) Jeep. Serial number 10391, it was the 391st CJ ever made. Probably produced the second or third day they made CJ’s. (they started at serial number 10001 and they only made about 1800 of these 1945 model CJ’s.) It is partly disassembled and all the parts are there. The engine and trans are replacements. the original shifter was on the steering column and it has been replaced with floor shift. The motor does turn over and they sealed it up when they took some of the parts off, so it is not full of dirt dobbers and rust, probably rebuildable. The floor has rust holes around the reinforcement channels as is normal with these jeeps. Replacement parts are readily available. The other parts of the body are in good shape. Front fenders are very smooth, hood is straight and stiff, has the original windshield rests on it. Grill is excellent. Tub has side indents for shovel and pick, like war jeeps. Has the original Power Take Off on the rear with all shafts and shifter in place. 6-Volt starter and generator. one 6v wiper for driver side, manual for rider. Harrison Heater. Selectro locking hubs. full floating rear axle, like a war jeep. Tailgate is good. gas tank looks good. Side mount spare carrier is gone but I can throw one in on the deal.
Also included is a new draw bar for the rear and a replacement front bumper.
This would make a great tribute jeep in military style or a nice jeep CJ show/parade car. Or, put a 302 in it, lift it and put big tires on it and go to the river. or do a little brush hogging with the PTO attachment.”

1947 Wagon Danvers, MA **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: Willys Wagons This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: It turns out that this one, first listed in 2016, is not the one that popped up for sale in Danvers in 2017 at almost the same price. A closer inspection revealed the latter had different plates and was one year off. So, I’ve updated this post as sold.

1947-cj2a-danvers-ma

“COMING OUT OF WINTER STORAGE SOON . This is a very well preserved and solid unrestored vehicle that appears to have spent most of it’s life in the South. It has new springs, shocks and wiring making it a solid feeling and comfortable driver. The stock 4 cylinder engine is quiet and smooth running. There are chips and scratches in an older repaint, showing natural patina for it’s age.

If you know these vehicles you know there are a number of places they commonly rusted; floors, rockers, tailgate, tailgate hinges and around the rear wheel wells. All these areas are unusually rust free except for a small patch under your heel at the accelerator. Also, there is an unusual rust line in the back just under the roof gutter due to a hole in the gutter. Been assured by two body men this is an easy simple fix. It’s a fun, simple vehicle to tinker with. Continue reading

Willys-based Skid Tractor Peru, ME **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: Other 4x4s This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.

Craig shared this one. Hard to see how much value (or not) is here.

“I’m gauging interest in my homemade mini skidder. It’s a 1950ish Willys frame and drivetrain with a bulldozer cage and fairlead. It was running a year ago when I parked it to clean the carb. I need to get the carb hooked back up and get a battery on it to get it moving.

It’s a mile in the woods currently so I’ll be putting list of interested people together for viewing later in the summer.

It doesn’t have brakes. The clutch isn’t much and the starter skips once in a while. But the flathead ran smooth with minimal smoke, the 4×4 worked, and it steers.

I bought a crawler and an old farm tractor and I need to thin the herd.”

It is sitting on a early Ford Bronco Chassis. Come with Ford 9 inch differentials front and rear as well as the Bronco 3 speed transmission and Dana 18 Transfer Case.
