I found this 1947 Willys CJ-2A in a suburb of Buenos Aires. It was pretty rough, but the original L134 engine and factory 4WD were present, which is a rarity in Argentina. I first thought I could do a little work to it and use it on the ranch “as is”, but reliability problems led me to a complete nut and bolt restoration. While parts for Pickups and Wagons built under license, and the 2WD IKA (Industria Kaiser Argentina) are available, parts for USA built export CJ-2A’s are hard to find. I brought suitcases full of Kaiser Willys parts to Argentina over several trips to complete the restoration. Now, it is the perfect vehicle for my little ranch on the Pampa.
