1951 CJ-3A Jeep Tractor Falls Creek, Wi **Status Unknown**

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

UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was listed at $7500.

Here’s a very rare Willys.  If the serial number is correct, it is 1 of 2 known of this model, though it has been ‘re accessorized” into a standard CJ-3A.

My investigation into this topic started tonight after Dan spotted this ad.  He said, ‘check out the serial number because I think it is a Tractor Jeep’.

I copied there first part of the serial number (451-GD1) and pasted it into Google and hoped for the best.  Seconds later, I had my answer.  It turns out, the CJ-3A.com website had all the info I needed.  There’s an entire page about both the Jeep Tractor and the Farm Jeep, both ‘farm’ versions of the CJ-3A introduced in 1951 and designed specifically for farms.

The standard CJ-3A serial number beings with 451 GB1, while the Farm Jeep uses 451 GC1 and the Tractor Jeep uses 451 GD1.  The ‘Farm Jeep’ was intended both for farm use and general purpose use and the ‘Tractor Jeep’ was designed exclusively for Farm use, eliminating a variety of items, including “front shocks, a spare tire, windshield, tailgate, headlights, fuel-pump booster, speedometer, and horn

The CJ-3A.com site reports that only 1 451-GD1 has been documented.  If everything checks out, this will be the second one found. You can see a close up of the serial number plate here.

So, the next time you check out a CJ-3A, double check that serial number.

“This is a solid and strong jeep. It has a unique serial number – 451-GD1 10036.
Engine is a L-134 “Go Devil” – 4 cyl iron block.
Transmission – Dana 18
Front Axle – Dana 25
Rear Axle – Dana 44″

UPDATE:  Still Available

(06/11/2010) It looks in good shape, despite the odd paint job.

“I have a jeep willys cj3a. I think it is a 51 but not 100% on that. It runs needs a carb tune up I have to have the choke out a little to run smooth. My daughters and I drive it all around our property we love this thing it will go anywhere. It is all original even has the Willys Overland from Toledo ohio metal plate still on the dash. It also still has the metal plates on the dash that tell you how to shift it. I hate to get rid of it but I have no choice have another baby on the way and need the money. Everything works on it 4 wheel drive high and low. We hop in it and drive it alot and we have alot of fun in it but it has to go. Being all original it would make a great rebuild or just one you can jump in and drive the way it is. would also make a great hunting buggy i used it for that to. I am asking $3700

Year? CJ-3A Comanche, TX **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800.

This might be a good parts jeep.  The windshield and frame look good.

“NO TITLE. 1949-51 Willys Jeep CJ-3A. Last registered in 1988. According to the guy I bought it from, it was being used for pulling a brush hog (mowing) until recently and the last registered owner was in the West Texas (Abilene) area. Jeep is intact with good windshield, headlight bezels, grill, hood and other parts. Also, engine is dis-assembled but appears to be complete. It is a flathead 4 cyl. As you can see, all tires are on the vehicle and hold air; spare is also mounted on the side and appears that it is new, although weathered. Plenty of good parts available; transmission and transfer case; engine; front and rear axles; tow bar and rear step with trailer hitch, and a PTO. According to my internet research, this was specifically built as a farm use vehicle, hence the PTO and what appears to be a belt drive. I bought this from a friend who became disabled and needed the money, but I have too many other projects to take on this one at this time. Questions? e-mail me.

1950 CJ-3A Spartanburg, SC **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD**  Was $4500

(06/17/2010) It sure looks like there is light rust in some of the corners, but that might be an optical illusion.

“I may regret selling this because I know I will not find another CJ3a in such original, virtually rust free, unmolested condition. This is a numbers matching 1950 Willys Jeep CJ3A with Power Take OFF (PTO) and Koenig hardtop. Almost everthing on the Jeep appears to be original. Even the seats, seat covers, and seat springs all look like the original ones to me. The body is very straight, and virtually rust free, having only surface rust. Floors are solid as well. The frame is perfect, no cut places, or damage anywhere. The hard top is in excellent condition. I started the Jeep a year ago and it ran very well with no smoking. I drove it around and shifted through the gears no problem. I changed the oil and filter, trans oil, T-case oil, and differential oils. It does need all new brakes, master cylinder, and wheel cylinders to be safe to drive. The rear two wheels are original wheels, but the front two are not, so it will need two original wheels, or wheels of your choice if you restore. This Jeep was owned by a farmer in Pacolet SC for 40+ years, and I was told it was stored up in a barn for that time. This would be a very easy restoration. Search the country over and you will not find a survivor like this one, in this condition.”

1949 CJ-3A (Lefty?) Richfield, Mn $1200

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

Brett spotted this potential deal. If this runs, it’s a steal.  This could be a 1947 Lefty CJ-2A that was accidentally titled as a CJ-3A (the CJ-2A page forums mention this happening a few times).  That said, just to confuse us a little more,  it almost looks like a front bow holder sits just above the gas inlet.
