Description
1948 Willys Jeep CJ2A that received a five-year frame-off, nut-and-bolt restoration 123 miles ago. You would be hard pressed to find a nicer version on the market today.
The CJ-2A resembled its military ancestor closely, with a tailgate and side mounted spare tire. There are certain characteristics that make it easier to distinguish from the Willys MB — most notably the headlights, which on the CJ-2A are larger and flush-mounted, and the grille, a seven-slot rather than the nine-slot MB grille. The CJ-2A’s T-90 transmission replaced the MB’s T-84, while the Go-Devil engine was kept intact, and many of the early CJ-2As were equipped with surplus parts left over from wartime production.
Willys-Overland first marketed the CJ-2A intending to gain ground in farming, ranching and other industrial and agricultural applications. Options were abundant, including a rear seat, center rear view mirror, front passenger seat, canvas top, front and rear PTO, belt pulley drive, capstan winch, governor, rear hydraulic lift, snow plow, welder, generator, mower disc, front bumper weight, heavy duty springs, dual vacuum windshield wipers, dual taillights, hot-climate radiator, driveshaft guards, heater, side steps and radiator brush guard. In 1949, Willys-Overland replaced the CJ-2A with the CJ-3A.
