“Fully restored 48 Willys CJ-3a (Flatfender). Just over 2,700 miles since completion. Well over 1,800 hours of love and care to make this Willys one of finest flatfenders you will ever find. It has been lovingly frame off restored. Every nut and bolt replaced during the restoration a few years ago. Features Dana 25 Front Axle, Dana 44 Rear Axle (we believe), Dana T90 Transmission, Warn overdrive, Dana 18 Transfer Case, Ford 200 inline 6 cylinder (for more power compared to the original 4 banger).
New steering box, new tilt steering column, new gauges, new clutch, new brakes, new Rancho leaf springs, new Warn hubs, new front bumper, new rear bumper, new wheels and tires, new lights, new wiring, and on and on. The highback seats (with seatbelts) are certainly not what came OEM from Willys but are certainly way more comfortable. Rear Bestop seat functions well and has seatbelts for the kiddos (safety first).
No, this Willys was not finished last month and has been enjoyed for the past 2,700 miles so it is not absolutely perfect, it has a few paint chips here and there. No, it does not have a top and no, it does not have doors (tops and doors are for sissies).
Whether you drive it to a car show (and win trophies), wheel the Rubicon Trail (not recommended due to the amazing condition) or just take the better half out for ice cream on Friday night, you can be rest assured that this machine will get you there in style. Plus, you will be constantly barraged by rubber neckers giving you a thumbs up and hearing comments like “awesome Willys”, “cool flatfender”, “that Willys is the cleanest I’ve ever seen” and “that Willys is BADASS!”
Please call, text or email if you are serious. This is truly a rare opportunity so please make us a fair offer as the asking price fair but certainly not firm. Please keep lowball or ridiculous offers to yourself since there has been a serious amount of time, love and money spent on this amazing Willys.
