I started a restoration in 2014 with the original owner who purchased the 48 CJ-2A new in 1948. Over a few years of assistance the gentleman was aging and passed away in 2019. The Willys CJ-2A was passed onto me about 3 days before he passed, with the understanding that I would complete the project and enjoy it. It was also requested that I do not sell it and that I had to use it – “Get It Muddy and Scratch It a Little Bit!!”
