‘46 Willys Jeep In The Creek!
Ah : ) the willys. This thing is the coolest ever. I got it for 500 bucks. The last time it ran was in 1973 when the engine blew up. But it came with another engine off of a Millitary generator 
My whole life this CJ-2A was sitting right across the road from the field, at the farm, in a shed. i used to look at it when i was a kid, and think about how cool it was. never though i would have it. So anyway, Drew and I put the other engine in it, and over a few days i got it running. the beast was amazing Drew took it romping with adam the one day, and got it stuck in a big thing of water. the clutch was under water, and he left it there overnight. So for about 2 or 3 years now, the clutch is rusted together. right now the willys is taken part of the way apart, in the canopy, and hopefully soon this thing will be fixed. because its an amazing machine. I have a few more videos of this beast that i will be uploading. Including a night time, Illegal, (no insurance, Not registered, no plate, not inspected in over 30 years, no brakes, gas tank from a tractor under the hood laying on the distributor cap, clutch stuck together, and an almost dead battery) that was a fun night it was late though. there were no other cars on the road. using the synchronizers to shift ah, fun stuff. i almost killed us

I got pretty lucky …
Can always ask for adivice too.
I got pretty lucky with this beast. when i bought it from my uncle, it came with an extra engine, bolted to a military generator. so it was a perfect engine, maybe that hadn’t ran in 30 years or so, but a running engine. So all i had to do was put it in, and it pretty much worked.
I would say though, if you know nothing about vehicles, this could be the kind of thing to start on, because they are so simple compared to newer things. Easier to learn on
July 5th, 2010 at 10:59 pm
What all did you …
What all did you have to do exactly to get it running? I’m thinking of buying one that isn’t running and getting it to run. However, I know nothing about vehicles.

Cool story of how …
Cool story of how you got it. Pretty similar to mine. Mine sat in my neighbors yard since roughly 1980. Saw it as a kid, about 4-5 years old, and wanted it ever since. I first saw it when it still had paint. Finally got it in 2007. Mine was free though!

You guys should fix that thing up a bit as you go! seems to be in pretty decent original shape! finding one with an original engine, tranny, and workable body is tough!

Yeah but for …
Yeah but for wheeling a 350 is ALOT cheaper to maintain and parts are readily available. Alot cooler having the original though.
July 5th, 2010 at 10:59 pm
Seriously …
Seriously fuelman524 who the are you talking about?
July 5th, 2010 at 10:59 pm
They’re so much fun …
The AMC 304 V8’s that came in the 70’s and up jeeps sound pretty cool too 
Cooler having a stock 304 then a 350 
Espeically considering that the 350 would probably be attached to an automatic trans 
They’re so much fun using them like this too.
I’m not down with the 350 thing at all. These flat head willys engines do sound awesome
July 5th, 2010 at 10:59 pm
That’s a nice …
That’s a nice classic Jeep, personally I’d restore it but then again Jeeps were built for this purpose. Love the sound of that motor most idiots drop in a 350 chevy and ruin the Jeep. No offence to the 70’s and newer ones that is acceptable but in a classic one like this keep it original.
