1946 WILLYS VEC CJ2A, SERIAL NUMBER CJ2A-27291, DRESSED TO PLAY WWII GAMES (IT IS NOT A WWII JEEP)....it is an early JC2A that was a column shift and was changed to a floor shift. the previous owner had rebuilt the engine, but did not resize the rods and it spun a rod bearing, so, the shop rebuilt the bottom of the engine with all new rod and main bearings, turned the crank shaft, resized the rods, now it idles and runs smooth and holds 30+ psi oil pressure at warm idle, jumps to 40+ on acceleration. Does not smoke, or drip oil anywhere. Shifts in all gears and all gears work good. The front floors and tool box bottom were repaired with new steel, the rust thru was not cut out, so underside looks rough. Five months and $3500 later, it still needs some attention with exhaust (has exhaust leak), brakes need attention (low and hard pedal, but still stops) my brother said he was there when they put all new brakes on front axle, gas and amp gauge does not work. When all is said and done, it is a peppy 69 year old jeep that rides rough, rattles
