UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

(09/30/2009) Here’s a nice looking CJ-3A.  It’s got an unusual cage.

“This is a 1949 Willys CJ3A with a rebuilt F-Head motor (not a flat head) out of a 1956 CJ3B.  T90 3 speed and a Dana 18 Transfer Case.  Dana 27 Front End and a Dana 44 Rear (welded for a locker) 5.38 gears. Custom 6 point Roll Cage out of 1.5″ DOM tubing. New Best Top Soft Top and Doors plus a Bikini Top …. Turn key and ready for a weekend in the woods!! The only thing that could be done is a new carborator because the 60 year old one leaks a little. Wanted to put the $100 upgrade solex carborator in it but just don’t have the time. Also, there is some rust in the bottom of the tub but again, not bad for the year.”

UPDATE:**SOLD** Was on eBay

There’s some value here, though plenty of work left too.

“This Willys CJ3A has not been ran for about 7yrs but was supposedly running when last parked. (it is froze up now-dosnt have a breather so maybe moisture has gotten in). It has very little paint but also very few rust HOLES.(mainly below right door and on the floor by right door). I bought this jeep from my cousin and due to all its PATINA I was planning to make a RAT ROD out of it but recently came up with a couple of medical issues. He cannot find the title but we can get a LOST TITLE very easily if desired. The frame is not rusted out any where that I could find. Springs and suspension seem OK. The cab (mfg by Koeng Iron Works of Houston) has lots of surface rust but is actually in pretty good shape. The doors have crank down windows (not sure of there condition as I didnt try to operate them). The winch has been removed. All gages look to be good shape and was supposed to be operating with the excepion of the gas gage. the emergency brake seems to work. The tranny and transfer case lock up in all gears and the differentials roll freely with the wheels jacked up. The right window has a crack at the bottom. Window rubber looks reusable. The seat frames and springs are there but the padding is gone. The box is dented but not rusted thru. The radiator, fan and shroud look to be in good condition. (I have another that I KNOW is in good shape). The engine has a magneto on it which the previous owner (my cousin) was put on to make better starting in the winter (it was used for snow plowing at their ranch and never ran in the summer), The original distributor is included. Also I have a power-take-off which is in great condition that I will include. Can provide more photos if desired and can possibly deliver for fuel costs.”

A 1940s DJ?

“One 1946 Willys CJ2A runs and drives great ready to go with an 8,000 lb. Ramsey winch and new tires. This is a rare Jeep with column shift and all numbers matching, all tags in place. Four wheel drive, low and high range all work. Everything on the Jeep works but the speedometer.

One 1948 CJ2A tub, chassis, motor and all drive train except axles which I have and go with jeep so this is a complete Jeep.

One 1940’s CJ2A tub, chassis, and all drive line except motor which I have and goes with Jeep so this is a complete Jeep.

One 1955 CJ3B complete Jeep.

One 1940’s CJ2A tub, chassis and drive train everything for another complete Jeep except motor.

One 1940’s DJ2A tub in great shape, this is a rare tub for a DJ because its left hand steer. Several extra frames, grills, fenders, tires and wheels, engine parts, manuals, etc. more parts than the pictures show. Everything goes as a package deal, I will not sell separate.

If you are a Jeep person or want a great project vehicle this is a great deal. All could be sold separate or parted out for more money on ebay or something but I don’t want the hassle. I am getting out of the Jeep business. I built the first one over 15 years ago and it was rougher than the rest in this package. I will be glad to answer any questions and send you more pictures but please, serious buyers only. 251-721-5100”

“This is a fun, mechanically solid trail jeep. It has been on almost every trail in Washington and every sand dune in Oregon, so it has some issues. I have alway driving this Jeep hard but not to the breaking point. After every trip this Jeep got a good cleaning, fluids checked then got it ready for the next trip before putting it away. It drives pretty good on the street, but with the rear spool and no turnsignals and no full top, it is not a daily driver.

1949 CJ-3A Loveland, Co **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3A This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

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”

“Jeep 1949 Willys with canvas seats and top. Was restored in 1996 and has a 4 cylinder Buick in the place of the L head Jeep engine it was born with. When this was king speed limit was 45 on all Florida roads. It was made for 45 and below and is lots of fun there. Has towbar and can pull trailers easily. In low range you can idle through about anything. This is a dirt road, forest road loving vehicle and has WARN hubs. Everything works fine but needs the brakes adjusted by hand if you enjoy stopping.”

Kudos to the seller for the detailed description.

“This Jeep is titled as a 1953, but is also noted on the title that it is “assembled by owner”. It was assembled in approximately 1964. This was a perfectly serviceable vehicle about 20 years or so ago, but was abandoned. It was garaged until about 2003, but has been sitting outside since then. A new fuel pump and a new water pump were installed a few years ago, but since the fuel pump didn’t work immediately, it was abandoned. The installer of the pump now admits that he probably got the lever on the wrong side of the cam, so I reinstalled the pump and it’s now correct. I haven’t started the engine, because the tank is bone dry, but it cranks and fires if you pour gas into the carburetor. The vehicle has a Buick V6 engine, which has less than 1000 miles on a short block. Since it’s been sitting, I have no idea of how the inside of the engine looks. The axles are not CJ2A, since it has 11-inch drum brakes, which don’t appear to be the Mercury conversion, so are probably from a later CJ, perhaps a 1969 CJ5. There are dual shock absorbers in the front, with coil-overs on one set. The windshield is a CJ3A. The steering is the Hudson conversion that was so popular, and includes a ball bearing bell-crank. The Jeep has a Bestop soft top that is in pretty good shape. It was not installed on the vehicle when it was sitting outside. The top still hasn’t been installed. It’s pretty much just sitting there, but it seems to fit fine, and includes the doors. The transmission and transfer case were new or nearly new in 1964. The transmission doesn’t shift into second and third, so I took the top off, and found some rust from moisture condensation. It would probably free up by being driven a short distance, and then the fluid could be changed. The transfer case shifts OK, but I haven’t looked inside. There are wide rims, but they are steel, which is pretty tame by today’s standards. The vehicle has two 10-gallon gas tanks, one under each seat, with plumbing to switch back and forth, and there is an electric fuel pump in series with the pump on the engine. There is a back seat that matches the front seats, and there is a full roll cage! There is a box of spare parts, and a couple of mufflers that could be installed in place of the headers to straight pipes that it currently has. This Jeep would be fine for someone who has the time to work with it. There is probably not a lot that needs to be done to get it on the road in minimum form, but it needs a lot of work to make it a daily driver. This Jeep is sold as-is, and I can’t provide an emission test, since it doesn’t run. It does have a title, but hasn’t been registered for a long time.”

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3A This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $550.

The gas tank looks like it has the bigger filler hole like a M-38, but the opening looks to be CJ-3A.

“1950 CJ3A Willy’s Jeep with artic top. Great project jeep solid metal. Will need to be towed. Needs new battery and tires. Mechanic said it would take about an hour or so to get it running. It has been sitting for about 6 months. Clean title. Email if you want to come take a look.
The military commissioned a cold weather top, or “closure,” for use on the new M-38 Jeep Jeep which went into production in 1950. The cold weather closure, nicknamed the “arctic top,” saw action during the Korean war, and has a reputation as being the best-built aluminium top manufactured for either military or civilian Jeeps.”
