This is a 1946 CJ2A that was purchased new by my Grandfather in mid 1946 in San Francisco. It was his only vehicle up until the early 60's when he bought a Simca which was easier on my Grandmother to get in and out of. I have owned it for 25 years and it last ran 10 years ago when I put in a fresh Carb and a new gas tank. I drove it up under the canopy at my auto restoration shop and it is still there. The engine is NOT stuck and should be easy to start. It is a very easily restorable vehicle and is one of the rare jeeps with the 3 speed shift on the column. Jeep went back to all shifts on the floor later in the model year. The Sears Allstate cab was installed in the early 50's and I have the original canvas doors as well as some of the rest of the canvas coverings. I also have the original sales contract that will go with the Jeep. I have long wanted to restore this for myself, since I learned to drive on it. However, I have come to the realization that there will never be the money for me to do it, and my son really has no interest in it or a place to keep it when it is done, so it is time to get it into the hands of someone that will re-do it and enjoy it. Pretty much any and all parts that might be needed are available. I have been informed that having matching frame, body and tailgate numbers improves the desirability of this vehicle. I have just checked to make sure of what I already knew, and it is a matching numbers Jeep. Somewhere in the family archives there is a picture of me sitting in the drivers seat and my head does not come up to the top of the seat. This would have been taken in mid 46, I was 1, when my parents took me up to San Fransisco to introduce me to my grandparents. The first memory of riding in it was when I was about 7/8 when they had moved back to Arkansas and had the cab installed. A canvas top was fine in Frisco in the winter, but not in No. Ark. I have been involved with the jeep since then and can say with certainty that it has never been in any kind of on road fender bender. The minor dents on the rear body and dr. front fender are all from it's use around their place/ranch. Payment will be $100 deposit paid with PayPal within 48 hours of the end of the auction. The remainder needs to be paid with cash or CC within 30 days of the end of the auction. I can keep it right where it sits for 6 months with no charge to you, and if you are not able to handle the restoration yourself, we might discuss my doing it for you.
