1946 Column Shift 3-Speed Willys Rare Model

Description for Willys CJ2A 1946

I purchased the Willy's Jeep in 1979 as a third vehicle to our family to enjoy some 4-wheeling, sand pit crawling and rock climbing. The Jeep was put in storage around 1992 and the engine was fogged to preserve it during storage. Upon waking the Jeep up from storage a few weeks ago, the following items were updated or replaced
1. The starter was rebuilt 2. New plugs 3. New belts 4. Master cylinder was rebuilt 5. New exhaust system 6. Oil Change7. The fuel tank was cleaned 8. New fuel line was installed 9. New fuel filter10 Fuel sending unit
From the VIN number (and the Internet), it appears to be a 1946 model year and not the 1947 year I once thought it was. It is also a rare 3-Speed Column shifter model, 1 of only a few hundred made (as I understand it), and she runs GREAT Thelabel plates state it is a body/frame/engine numbers matching Jeep.
It is an all original 1946 Jeep/ It is old, rusty, and well loved, not looking for a buyer who is looking to part it out, rather looking for someone who will (either) leave it in its original form, OR someone who wants to restore it.
