Willy Jeep CJ-2 Year: 1946 Make: Willys Jeep  Model: CJ – 2 Engine: 2.2L inline Four Transmission: 3 Speed Manual Exterior: Army Green Interior: Green Mileage Indicated: Unknown Paperwork Status: Built-Up Location: 158 Jan Smuts Ave, Rosebank Write-Up The Willys Jeep is one of the most recognisable vehicles in motoring history, renowned for its rugged construction, mechanical simplicity and legendary off-road capability. Developed from its military origins, the post-war civilian Jeep became a dependable workhorse and an icon of early four-wheel-drive motoring. Finished in traditional Army Green with a matching interior, this 1946 Willys Jeep has undergone an extensive rebuild and is offered as a near-completed restoration project. The chassis has been galvanised, while the majority of mechanical and structural components have been replaced or reconditioned as the seller has told us. Powered by a 2.2-litre inline four-cylinder engine paired with a three-speed manual gearbox, the Willys represents an era of straightforward, no-nonsense engineering. Its compact dimensions, rugged design and unmistakable styling give it lasting appeal among military vehicle and classic 4x4 enthusiasts. The vehicle is currently a non-runner, with the engine requiring inspection and recommissioning. Some final assembly and finishing work is also required. It is registered as a built-up vehicle, with paperwork and the vehicle is in Dealer Stock For collectors and enthusiasts looking for a rewarding project, this Willys offers an opportunity to complete a largely rebuilt example of one of the world's most iconic early 4x4s. A classic Willys with much of the restoration work already undertaken, ready for its next owner to complete and bring back to life.
