Hi. and thank you for looking at my 1946 Willys CJ2A Jeep.
I am registered as a trade seller on here but that is for camera equipment. This is a private sale of a personal vehicle. not a trade sale!
Genuine US Navy with some provenance. history file. original dash plates etc.                                               Purchased new in Hawaii by US Navy from a local Willys dealer as part of the post war Sales Stimulus Program. Was used by the Navy on Ford Island Landing Strip in Pearl Harbour. Hawaii until pensioned off. I purchased from fourth owner in Colorado. where it had previously been used at Centennial Airport as a hangar tug for a collection of Warbird Aeroplanes. Correctly UK Historic Registered and taxed with V5 in my nameHistoric and Pre 1960 vehicle so it is exempt from MOT and has free road taxonly £100 a year to insureBasically this means that once it is in your possession it only costs £2 per week plus fuel to run!
Body:
 totally solid and rust free:Very good rust free condition with original tub. chassis and screen. Lots of age related repairs and some panel replacement over time as this is a vehicle which has seen continuous use over it's life.  Very smart. but not immaculate. However. neither is it just yet another reproduction tub. Reinforced front chassis horns / bumper from its time as an aeroplane tug. I would fit replacement bumper if I was keeping it. but it is totally solid and functional.
Mechanically superb:
Professionally rebuilt Go Devil engine. carb rebuilt by foremost US specialist. New Old Stock transmission fitted. Brand New starter fitted. 12Volt and Alternator conversion (this vehicle was built to be used not trailered!)4x Correct and Brand new Goodyear Military 6. 00 x 16 tyresI have never owned a classic vehicle which starts so willingly. it fires as soon as your foot touches the button!Fuel Gauge works. ammeter works. Temp gauge works. Speedo will work but needle seems to wind right round (?)
Drives Excellent:
The engine is willing. torquey and flexible. The 3-speed non-synchro transmission is a delight to use. with good clutchBrakes pull up straight and bite well. Steering is good. much better than other Willys I have experienced. No "Shimmy". it drives straight and true. both on and off road. Happy at 40-45 mph all day long.
Well fitted out:
Has excellent canvas summer top with stays.  many extras such as Jerry can. rifle holder. screen down cover. small canvasses. sheepskin aeroplane seat cushions. original canvas bucket. cutlery canteen etc.
Some NEW spares included:Emergency brake cable. brake wheel cylinder. kingpin kit. several other small parts
Genuine reluctant private sale. must go to a good home.
Please no timewasters or third party agencies
Viewing highly encouraged
