UPDATE: Still Available.

(04/10/2023) John shared this early CJ-2A. It’s had a few updates, but the indents and column shift are still there. There has been some body work (such as the elimination of the spare tire carrier mounting holes), along with new paint. If the underside on this is solid, it may well be worth a look at this price. I don’t impinge it would take too much to bring this back to stock.

“1946 Willys cj2a column shift Solid old Jeep straight sides decent floors Engine bay mostly original. Doesn’t run somone has had head off not sure why. Rare Allstate locking hubs. Clean title in hand.”

Listed as a 1948, the body appears to be a VEC, probably ’46. It has an early grille, too.

“1948 CJ-2A Willys Jeep, needs a distributor. Ran about 8 yrs ago. No title”

Grant forwarded this ad for a VEC 2A. Unclear how much value is here4. I’ve never heard these referred to as “General’s Jeeps”.

“It is AVAILABLE, don’t waste our time. This is located in MISSOURI’s Salem. Please note this is a column shift Jeep ( sometimes referred to as a General’s Jeep ). I have 2 original motors ( out of Jeep ), you can take your pick. I have a good title for it. Will not sell parts. Might trade in on a side by side, no other trades.”

UPDATE: Still Available.

(06/15/2023) This has full floaters, the early windshield, and indents, so it could be a ’45. It also has a rear PTO setup and Koenig hardtop.

Listed as a 1948, this has a column shifter. Looking at the interior pic of the left side, this might have had indents that were filled in. Unclear how much value is here given the engine issue and body rust.
