What We Brought Back
The post below this is incorrect. This is a 1945 model CJ2A the 365th made it that year. It's rough but after all it is 64 years old. This originally had a column shifter but that was removed. It does turn over and I think the motor will be running by Monday. These early model Jeeps are sought after by many. It was a fun ride with a friend I have much in common with and I ate well.
a street legal ATV. You're gonna have lots of fun fixing it up I'll bet. can you report the progress here along the way. I'm soooo jealous.
ReplyDeleteActually Russ I have nothing to do with this. My friend plans on getting it running and repairing the brakes and lights. He may turn it over quickly I'm not sure. With these repairs it will be worth more than he paid even with the the cost of the work done.
ReplyDeleteSomething well worth the work it takes to fix it up.
ReplyDeleteA friend has one of roughly that vintage, all fixed up and painted properly. On Memorial Day he has a featured spot in the town parade, driving for several of the older veterans.
ReplyDeleteWell men-FYI it does run and the motor seems to be fairly sound. Not sure yet whether this is the original motor or not. The front and rear differentials were manufactured in '43.
ReplyDeleteThe front end steering and axle hubs have been gone through but it will be a frame off project for whoever ends up with this.
