“I have a 1948 CJ2A with rear PTO. It’s all restored to original. The restoration was done roughly 15 years ago but looks like it was done less than that. This was all done recently as it sat for so long: New fuel pump, plugs, wires, cap, rotor, condenser, oil lines, fuel pump to carb line, carb was completely rebuilt, new master cylinder, bell and crank for the steering. I’m sure I’m missing a few things. Have new wheel cylinders but haven’t installed them. Comes with tire chains, a bucket of carbs (3-4) a crate of other parts and a hard cab that needs to be finished. Runs and drives. $18,500. Open to trades”

1946 VEC CJ-2A Sterling, IL **SOLD**

“The Jeep CJ models are a series of open bodied off-road vehicles built and sold by several successive incarnations from 1945 to 1986. In fact, the 1945 model was the world’s first mass produced 4 wheel drive vehicle for civilian use. As a result the CJ stands for Civilian Jeep.

In 1946 it was equipped with the L34 134ci Flathead 4 cylinder which was nicknamed the “Go Devil” that is mated to a column shifted Borg Warner T90 3 speed manual transmission. This sweet Jeep is also equipped with 3 very rare options making it extremely desirable which are the front tow bar, the rear draw bar (hitch) and the rear bumper mounted Power Take-Off (PTO) which was designed to drive equipment mounted at the rear of the vehicle through a shaft drive assembly. It is also used to drive trailered equipment, operate belt driven machines and shaft driven winches.

“I’ve owned this 1948 Willys CJ2a since 2009 and have thoroughly enjoyed driving and working on it, but am in a different stage of life and now it’s time to let someone else have some adventures with it.

Highlights:
• Frame-off restoration in 2010. Sandblasted and coated the frame, replaced leaf springs (NOS) and shackles, shocks, overdrive, electrical harness, seat cushions and canvas covers. Engine and transmission were solid when I bought it. Total mileage unknown, I’ve put about 10k on it.
• Body is original steel tub as far as I know. It has a few dings and small ares of corrosion. Original Luzon red re-painted in 2010.
• 134 ci. flathead “Go-Devil” engine with Solex carburetor and electric fuel pump, 3 speed T-90 manual (6 forward speeds with overdrive split), 4WD of course :).
• I have a soft top and all the bows for it. I’ve been told it is an older aftermarket “Sunbrella” top but I’m not 100% sure. It keeps wind and shade off you, but is a little tired and is not waterproof.
• I’ll also include a timing light, dwell meter, mechanical fuel pump, and some other spare parts and accessories.

My goal for this Jeep was never for it to be a show vehicle, just something that looked nice and drove like the original. It runs and drives well; it’s a hoot around town and even more fun up in the mountains”

(09/11/2023) I don’t recognize the hardtop, but it looks like a nice one. It seems a conglomeration of a Kelly (line under door window and the door latches) + a Meyer (door window shape and possible roof shape) + a Koenig (door shape). I suspect it is custom, but if Meyer *had* made a flat fender top, I’d think it would look something like this.
