1946 Willys Jeep CJ2A call Terry 952-451-2104. 1947 Willys Jeep
CJ2A It's hard not to get excited about driving the bedrock of
freedom, especially when it's this price. $11500 The tough little
Jeep was so good at its military life that Willys knew it could be
a returning soldier's best friend when he returned home. After all,
the same tough construction and go anywhere ability could find a
nice use on the farm or jobsite. The CJ2A was the first Willys Jeep
used for peacetime duty (CJ = Civilian Jeep), but you can easily
see its armed forces origins on this early example. Thinly veiled
with proper headlights and a tailgate, it's the same basic style
that brought victory in World War II. it's this level of respect
and care that's the true key to why this Jeep looks so spectacular
today. This Jeep has three levers on the floor, one for the
three-speed manual transmission and the other two for the two-speed
transfer case. The middle one selects 2 or 4-wheel drive, while the
one on the far right selects high and low ranges. If that seems
confusing, the original instructions are mounted on the dash. These
weren't about all-out power, but the 134 cubic-inch inline-four was
actually a big reason why the military choose Willys for
manufacturing the wartime Jeep. The Go Devil motor proved to
provide good torque and was as reliable as an American solider.
Heavy-duty features include the oil bath air cleaner and a big oil
filter canister on the side of the engine block, both critical for
longevity in the field. CJ2A fires up easily, idles nicely, and
shifts with accuracy. The chassis remains exceptionally clean, and
the oversized hubs on the sturdy axles are designed to keep the
Jeep alive in the worst of situations. Steel wheels with
reproduction military-style tires provide the finishing touch for
just the right look. Terry 952-451-2104
