UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500
(03/24/2011) Here is a project that appears pretty solid. Is the windshield missing arms? How is it staying vertical? The seller does a nice job of explaining the situation.
“Up for sale is a Willys CJ3A (mostly). The engine numbers put it at a 1949 CJ3A. I picked this up with great intentions, but my CJ2A has been taking all of my time and it is now time for someone else to make use of this. Some good modifications were done and some good body work – it will however require re-wiring (pretty simple on these) and some TLC. I got it running with a battery and putting gas in the carb before I brought it home and have done absolutely nothing with it since that day. This would make a great start to a rock crawler or just a cool toy to run around town in.
Engine: L134 (period correct at least, but I believe it is original) I had it running a couple of years ago and it idled smooth and ran strong.
Transmission: Unknown – haven’t driven it but it shifts through all gears.
Transfer case: Unknown – see above
Body: Good condition (actually great for the year) little to no rust that I’ve seen. Hat channels were replaced with angle iron (well done) and the body was skimmed with bondo – which is cracking in several places.
Other: Spring over axle conversion was done for lift. May need to re-evaluate the angels that were used.
Being sold as a project only as is – where is. Will need a trailer to haul. $1400 OBO”
I check out your site often. I enjoy all the information and the different builds you put up here. Thanks!
This one is mine and to answer your question about the windshield, it is fabbed and rock solid. Someone made a great looking windshield that is welded in, but does not fold down. Good eye on seeing that from the little pictures.
Keep up the good work. I enjoy this site!
