UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was $7100.

(09/06/09) It’s not completely stock, but not far from it.  What’s the metal underneath the front driver’s-side fender?

“1953 Willys CJ3a, all stock, not modified, runs and drives excellent. new gas tank, new rear seat and new 6 volt battery. Items for display at car shows go with it. no top. Painted inside and out, and underneath. Many new parts. Parade and car show ready. Licensed with 1953 plate, Every thing is done. No rust! Asking $7200.00.”

UPDATE: SOLD on eBay for $2500 just a few hours after it was listed.  This was also listed at $2500 on Craigslist originally, but to my surprise didn’t sell.

This looks in great shape.  It still looks like a pretty good price given the condition.

“1950 Willy’s Jeep CJ3A, it has been garage kept in Santa Fe New Mexico for the last several years. The last time the Jeep was registered for the street was 1994. I would recommend a tune up and have the carburetor re-built or cleaned, fluids have been changed, engine oil and anti-freeze, the gas tank was drained and new fuel put in. The Jeep has been converted to a 12-volt system and still uses a generator. There is an electric wiper on the driver’s side and a manual wiper on the passenger’s side. It has locking hubs and they work fine. The engine is not the original, and does leak some oil, probably from sitting and not being run for the past few years. The transmission shifts fine and does not pop out of second gear at all; the transfer case also shifts with no problems. ….. As far as payment: If you have any questions please email or call me and ask, I will do my best to answer them or you.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5250.

“1951 willys cj 3a 34,8xx miles runs perfect drives great a wonderful flatfender no signs of damage to the body still 6 volt everything works. this jeep is a very nice original piece it has no extra holes cuts or tears with some minor cosmetics it would be parade or show ready. The underneath of the body is a nice as the top all the floor structure is perfect. there is 3 minor places of rust passenger floor(from heater core leak) l/h side of body at gas tank and at r/h taillight all would be an easy fix.  I am the 3rd owner it has always been in eastern wa.

It also comes with a Koenig 1/2 cab with orignal door panels headliner and hardware back window is broke it was stored in a barn for the last 30 + years.  The jeep is brown and the cab is orange.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

This looks mostly stock.  So, the engine smokes like all old jeeps do, but the jeep is in great running condition?  Is there a tiny disconnect there?

“This is a 1952 Willy’s CJ3-B. This is a civilian jeep that was purchased from a farm in New Mexico. When we got the jeep it was all there. It had no rust and was running (poorly but running) and the breaks didn’t work at all. The jeep has been straightened and painted and it is all metal. There is no bondo on this jeep the body was straight except for a few dents that were removed by the body shop with out using filler with all the original sheet metal. It had the original paint on it when we got it. To prevent the paint on the inside from getting damaged we had them put a “spray on bed liner” type material down on the inside of the tub and inside the fender wells that is the same color as the paint. The head gasket on the original (to my knowledge) flat head motor was replaced. The head was machined smooth and the deck was prepped. Brakes were torn down and repaired and function as they did in 1952. The jeep is in great running condition and can be seen locally by appointment. It runs and drive fantastically. It smokes a little sometimes like all old jeeps do. We are located in Wingate just out side of Monroe North Carolina.”

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was $6000.

“This auction is for a true barn find 1950 Willys CJ3A civilian Jeep with only 15,500 original miles.  It is very original including the factory headlights with a July 26, 1950 date stamp.  Only one works but I left them in for originality.  All other component date codes correspond to date of manufacture.  The Jeep began life on an Ohio farm and was used to run errands and transport items to town.  At some point, ownership of the Jeep was passed on to the new owner of the farm.  Eventually the Jeep was was removed from service and parked in the barn.  The third owner inherited the Jeep in 2001 as his father in-law was aging and retiring from the Ohio farm….”
