Seems like there’s some value here. It does look to be a CJ-3A, based on the bodies’ dash, the radiator setup, and the lack of front frame horns.

“This is either a CJ2A or a CJ3A or may be a mix. It is a project that I have stalled on…
Frame and engine are in good shape, the engine turns over, is not seized. Has new brake lines and includes a new carburetor. All Jeep parts in the photos go with it; muffler, exhaust pipe, radiator, all body parts, drive shafts, steering assembly, etc. As with most of these Jeeps, the body (tub) is fair to poor.”

Has. variety of updates. Looks in good shape.

“Excellent condition, drive anywhere..4×4 ,231 v6,auto trans,disc brake conversion on front etc…price is firm, no trades….moving and I don’t want to put it in storage..clean clear ms title”

This looks in good shape and most likely has a replacement body (not M-38).

“1951 Willys CJ-3A. M38 windshield and body. Starts right up, runs good, no mechanical issues. L134 flathead engine. Carb just rebuilt, brakes were rebuilt last year, new battery, electrical system converted to 12 volt, fluids changed regularly. Has some rust underneath but overall a solid old Jeep that just needs someone that has the time to spend taking care of a 70 year old machine. Title in hand”

This appears to have a CJ-2A chassis, but, given it lacks the 2A ignition hold in the dash, it might have a 3A body.

“1951 Willys Jeep for sale. Tons of new parts. Awesome little Jeep to wheel or cruise around town. Chevy 350 with auto transmission. New gas tank, carburetor, windshield wiper motors, radiator, alternator, all new custom wiring. Price is firm and don’t need to sell so serious inquiries only.”

Tub is off the jeep.

“I have some old willys Jeep parts for sale. I have a tub, hood, fenders, grille, and windshield from a ‘52 Cj3a. The tub is in pretty rough condition on one side. The fenders aren’t rusty but have a couple grinder cuts in them. The grille is ok. The hood is ok. The windshield frame is pretty good. It would be good for a woods buggy or you can use the windshield frame, hood and grille for your project.
I also have a transmission, transfer case and a set of axles, Dana 25 and Dana 41 from a ‘48 cj2a. The transmission and transfer case will need rebuilding. The axles have a rare set of locking hubs on them, there were a few different types of locking hubs for these jeeps. Also comes with an old ford inline 6 engine. Needs rebuilding
$500 for all of it. Must take it all. I can help you load it onto your trailer.

The pictures are older pictures. The tub is off of the frame now.”

Looks like a fair price.

Will do/maintain 60, but not really a freeway vehicle (ideal speed range 35 to 55-loves long rural roads).

(11/07/2021) There might be some rust on the driver’s side or just peeling paint.

“1951 Willys JeepCJ3A nearly in original condition. Original 4 cylinder engine is strong, starts easy and runs real well. Solid body. New wiring harness that includes turn signal lights has been installed. A new speedometer/odometer was installed along with a new fuel gauge. New front springs and four new shock absorbers have been installed. Lap belts added. Four wheel drive operates well. There are locking hubs. New York registration and inspection are current. Clear title. This vehicle is an eye catcher and fun to drive.”

No pics provided. I”m assuming the 10-inch wheels are the width?

“Willys CJ3A 1949, L-head, 6-volt, rusty, non-op, clear title. 10″ wheels.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6900.

This body has the dash ignition hole for a 2A, so likely a 2A body. But, given the updates, it doesn’t really matter much. The gas tank has been been moved to the rear.

“Great running Willys Jeep! Clean OK title. Has a 283 Chevy V8 so it’s a bit of a hot rod. Body is in good condition. Paint job is just rattle can OD green. Tires are excellent. Tight steering and good brakes with new master cylinder. All lights including turn signals are functional. Seats were recovered fairly recently and it has seat belts installed for a bit of added safety. Drivetrain is stock other than the engine, so it’s geared low, but will cruise down the country roads nicely. Also has a PTO driven winch up front. Not interested in trades. No shipping, local cash sale only.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $1500.

(12/14/2021) Unclear how much value is here.
