The Jeep has always had a reputation as a tough, nimble and reliable offroad vehicle that can be traced back to its performance as one of our most important tools in World War II. After the conclusion of WWII, Willys needed to shift its focus from the war front to how they could use the Jeep to benefit the general public. Hence, the CJ2A was developed to be utilized in agricultural applications and these rugged 4x4's proved to be just as invaluable in the field as they were during the war. Despite over 200,000 of these very capable offroad vehicles being built, between 1945-1949, they are seldom seen today as many were used as they were intended as tools, rather than preserved as collectibles. This 1946 Willys Jeep CJ2A is a very nice example of these great, classic trucks and benefits from a frame-off restoration that was finished in 2017. During the restoration, the Jeep received a new, all-steel body and was finished in its current, driver quality green exterior paint. The green exterior paint is in overall good condition with minor scratches and touch-ups throughout. The green exterior is nicely complimented by the CJ's new Bestop Black vinyl top and black painted, factory style steel wheels. The factory style Black vinyl interior of this great CJ2A is in very good condition throughout and is nicely equipped with a dash mounted heater. Powering this nicely restored CJ2A is its correct 134 cubic inch L-head inline 4 cylinder engine backed by its 3-speed manual transmission. Both the engine and transmission perform just as they should and have no problem pulling this Jeep down the road. This Willys CJ2A is nicely documented by receipts from its restoration. If you are in the market for a vintage Jeep or Willys CJ2A that is turn-key ready to enjoy and would present well at your local cruise-in, then you will want to take a very close look at this nicely restored 1946 Willy Jeep CJ2A.
