UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7000.

“1949 Red Willys CJ3A Jeep, very stock, never really restored, just rebuilt as needed along the way. Body has been repaired some, but looks good. Flathead L134 engine rebuilt, still 6V, brakes all redone, new Best Top, 4 fairly new NDT tires, my driver Jeep, pretty at 20 feet, but not afraid to go off road. The Newgren Buzz Saw is as found, unrestored. I have all the rear PTO assembly, but it is not installed. This saw is draw bar mounted and a Willys Special Equipment Option. Be the hit at the next Working Willys Show. Price for both is $7000.”

UPDATE: ** Sold **  Was listed at $4300

This appears in great shape.

“1950 Willys Jeep. This vehicle is all original with the exception of the rims and the roll bar (the roll bar can be easily removed as it is bolted in). It has had a recent brake job and runs great. It burns no oil and goes down the road quite nicely. The body is very solid, there is no rust anywhere. It also includes a 6 foot plow and the original rims. ”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500

(09/06/2010) In many respects this looks good, but there were a couple issues that caught my eye.  The rear bumper is strangely bent downwards and in the front, a cross piece has been welded on top of the frame and the driver’s side frame rail has been welded and drilled.  So, I’d check this frame out closely as it has some miles on it.

(05/20/2011) The seller mentions this might be an old fire jeep, but the seller has no evidence of this.

“This is a near perfect example of a 1950 CJ3A. I bought it in Fresno Ca (still has the black CA plates but also has clear AZ title and plates) now my Son says “no you can’t take the grandaughter in that” and my big old belly rubs the steering wheel. So I am looking for a Jeep Wrangler or Polaris Ranger or something even more stable. This jeep has 18,000 miles on it, the only modifications from stock are: conversion to 12 V, roll bar, bikini top, k&n Air filiter, 5 new tires/rims (have stock rims), tow bar in front. There is absolutely no rust on this jeep, has a plate covering the hole in the left front fender where the siren went. has one dent in the left rear fender well, no other significant body damage. I don’t know if there is a problem with the charging system or ? but when the battery is charged this thing runs like a singer sewing machine. Top speed is less than 50 MPH. The brakes suck. as with all old jeeps the front brakes have thier issues, they work (sometimes too well) and try to lock up the front tires. After I bought this I showed it to my cousin in Bakersfield who is a retired Kern county Fire Capt. He stated that many of the county fire departments had these old jeeps for small back country fires but that they really weren’t used much. This is the only reason this old a jeep could be in this good of a condition with this low of miles. She is a beauty with absolutely no rust.

I really thought this would be such a hoot to take my granddaughter four wheeling in but; The Son says no, so she’s got to go..”

UPDATE: Still Available

(01/03/2011) This looks real nice.  The pics looks like they were taken on Tacoma’s north side which is bounded by South Puget Sound.

I worked for a short time near where these photos were taken at C.I. Shenanigans before going back to College to complete my undergrad degree at UPS. I knew the waterfront well, as I spent a lot of time riding my bike along the waterfront and into one of nicest city parks in the nation, Point Defiance Park.

“took this in part trade for a restored Model AA truck in 2009. I used it a couple of times but now I need my garage space back. This things a real hoot. Very smooth and quiet running. No squeaks or rattles. A great example of an unmolested jeep. What grabbed me was, it’s like a time machine, it’s upgraded with the stuff we used in the late ‘60’s and early ‘70’s. Has parts catalogues from early 70’s is seat storage compartment. It’s almost like it was parked in 1972 and found in 2009.

Has an unusual working winch with dual solenoids and Aux. light, removable tow bar, Solex carb, extra mounted coil, CB, converted to 12 volt (with alternator), wider tires and rims, rear swing away spare tire mount, full top, turn indicators.

Engine has had complete rebuild including stainless steel valves and hardened seats for unleaded gas. I added more out of habit, a new battery, HD shocks, plugs, NOS emergency brake shoes and oil change. I’ve encountered no problems with anything.

I joined my old high school friend and jeep nut from 40 yrs. ago on a camping trip in the cascades last summer with his family. Everyone had a ball using the jeep for getting more ice and marshmallows, driving around the campsite, and exploring logging roads with the grand kids. I’d forgotten how low geared, quiet and sure-footed these rigs were.

“What i have is a 1950 willys jeep CJ3A that has been restored to the best of my ability . I put in a new body kit, new paint, restored the seats, and a new wiring harness,plus lots of other new parts to numerous to list. The motor and tranny have not been touched internally. I don’t have a top for it. I drove very rarely and didn’t need a top. I bought this jeep in pa and started restoring it with my father who passed away before it was done. As far as i know everything is correct or as close to being correct as can be done. I have gotten alot of compliments on this vehicle by people who bought them when they were new. Buyer is responsible for picking up vehicle and shipping it. I will except cash or a cashiers check from a bank, at the time of pick up.  I have very rarely driven the jeep, only about 3 to 5 miles and that was enough for me , so i have never really driven it very far. It has never done anything. But that doesn’t mean that it couldn’t. I just want to be as honest as possible. This also is my first time selling on e bay, so pleas bear with me. If you have questions i will try to answer them as quickly as possible. Thank You!”
