1946 Willys Jeep CJ2A WWll General's Military Tribute Jeep

1946 Jeep CJ Description

Up for auction is a 1946 CJ2A Willys Jeep. The original thought was to make it look roughly like a WWll General's Jeep. The Vehicle has had rust cut out and clean steel welded in. The repairs are functional repairs. This was never intended to be a 100% restoration, just something for around the farm, and for parades. The Jeep had a tow bar in a past life, sowe left it on.The underhood pictures showthe old paint,during rebuilding. It has all been painted to match the outside.The Carb is new. The battery is new, the gas tank is new.Jeep is 12Volt. The 4 non-directional tires are new. The tail lights are trailer type. It's a neat Jeep that needs some finishing.The engine will run, but shuts down almost immediatly, asthe timing needs to be reset.The problem is the distributor body is cast iron,and so is the block. The distributor won't turn easily to adjust the timing to keep it running.So I've only had it running for short periods at a time. I am military-disabled, and cannot do much more on the engine,or crawl around under it as the repair may require. With this in mind the cost of this mostly preserved piece of history is low. To buy abeater and rebuild it to this point would cost way more than theopening bid.The seats are good,it gets a ton of attention even on a trailer...More kids have been photographed in this Jeep.This can and should be brought back to life...The hard part of getting replacement panels, welding them in,and bodywork to make this an interesting eyecatcheris done, the finishingtoyour taste is up to you.....The vehicle comes with a Clear "Bill of sale".........oh yeah, the BB-gun in the windshield rifle rack, is not included....And the M151A2 in the backgroundis in another auction.....but not my '45 Chevy.............Located in Williamsburg County, S.C....A non-refundable $500 deposit is duewithin 24 hours of auction end.
