UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000

This sure looks good for the price. The entire description is detailed. I’ve included it under the pictures.

“1950 Willys CJ3A Flat fender Jeep

This Jeep is a great little runner that gets looks all around town. It’s reliable, starts right up and hasn’t failed to get me home again yet. It stops on a dime and steers straight and true. It rides on 7.50×16″ Firestone 8 ply NDT tires with less than 1K on them. The rims are the original size 16″ x4.5”. It will roll through the back roads all day long but it won’t take you down the highway mind you. It’s top speed is 55MPH with a tailwind so comfortable cruising speed is between 45-50 MPH.

There’s no rust on this Jeep because I tore it down to the frame and replaced any rust in 2007-2008. A lot of bodywork was done on the tub to save the old iron! I tore off all of the old farmer’s patches and welded in patches where needed. The hat channels were replaced with 1″x1″ tube steel as the original hat channels were rotten due to the wood inside. The driver and passenger floors were replaced. The passenger rear quarter was for the most part refabricated. Numerous other patches here and there were welded in. You will see in the pictures the welds on the inside of the tub. This being a Jeep I was not concered with it being perfect or having no welds showing. The outside of the tub had the welds ground down and finished.

While the tub was off, the frame and axles were chemical washed, cleaned and painted in POR15. The engine was a good runner so, though it was pulled for the frame work I left it alone. The emergency brake on the transmission was changed but the trans was also left alone as it shifts well.

I am not a professional restoration man. Hence, this is not a professional restoration. I was looking for a “restostore”. The end result needed to be reliable, rust free, and look good going down the road. I do think that I achieved that. There are a TON of pictures on the restostore from what it looked like when it first rolled in to the final touches putting it back together.

Here’s a list of some of the items this Jeep includes:

– Original 16″x4.5″ size rims

Here’s the current minor issues (It is over 60 years old you know…):

– Needs a speedo cable. I bought a new speedometer and the cable broke 80 miles later
– The radiator has started to weep when sitting. It’s not much and it runs fine and never overheats but eventually it will need looked at.
– The Jeep leaks some oil. Not a whole lot but it marks it’s spot. I’ve never owned a Jeep that doesn’t and I’ve had more than a few.”
