1949 CJ-3A Las Vegas, NV $3500

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

Doesn’t run at the moment, but has potential. It appears the cargo area has been lengthened. Note the photo that shows the underside of the body near the rear of the frame. You can see the body sits several inches behind the normal rear of the frame. Moreover, a couple pics show what appear to be patches on the top of the rear wheel wells. There is no side shot that really shows how it looks after being lengthened.

1952 M-38? Spring Valley, CA $8500

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3A, M-38 • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

This has a replacement body, but I think it might have been an M-38. The windshield is shorter, like a CJ-3B, but with an unusual scallop. I don’t know if this is custom or aftermarket.

“1952 Jeep Willys 4×4 350 automatic transmission 3.8L V6 Clean title and registered till Nov Beautiful restored jeep Engine runs strong 33” tires Only issue are the brakes, the pedal hits the steering wheel column so it needs to be positioned better. They’re drum brakes so they’re stiff but they do work, I used to drive this thing around. I just don’t have the time or money to fix anymore.”

1951 CJ-3A w/ Roof Rack Denver, CO $8000

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

I can’t tell if the $8k price includes the roof rack or not, but it certainly is an interesting piece. The seller provides an extensive list of parts added and work done.

The 3A runs, but the 2A needs some work.

https://westslope.craigslist.org/pts/d/moab-1946-and-51-willys/7545518245.html

“Two Willys Jeeps for sale. The 46 (white) has a clean Title. It has a resent rebuilt Buick V6. it runs but needs exhaust manifolds and radiator to match the water pump. The 51 (green) runs and drives fine and has the overdrive. The starter is weak but still fires it up. It has no title so I will provide a Bill of Sale. They come with a spare Flathead engine, transmittion/transfer case, and Mics. parts.”

Jeep Collection For Sale Whitney, NE

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A, CJ-3A, CJ5, FC150-FC170-M677 This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

This seller has a wide range of jeeps. He hopes to sell them in various lots. The seller notes in the comments on this post that he won’t sell to folks in Nebraska.

The collection itself looks interesting. It is wide ranging with 2As, 3As, FCs, CJ-5s, and M-38s to name a few. I haven’t yet seen any pics of a 3B.

You can see more pics and read the comments here. The seller has responded to some of the comments: https://www.facebook.com/groups/WillysSwapMeet/posts/3312265972379992

1951 Unrestored CJ-3A W/ A lot of Fixin’s Auction Oct 14-15

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

Thanks to John for sharing this one-of-a-kind low-mileage jeep: 1731 miles … just stop what you are doing and check out these pics! Sadly, no engine pics are included. This jeep will be auctioned October 14-15th. Thought it is listed as a 1952 model, the serial number puts this as a 1951 model.

Some of the implements are unused!

“Chassis No. 451GB117583

This four-wheel-drive CJ-3A Jeep was ordered in January 1951 from Wiley Brothers and Lewis Packard-Willys of West Chester, Pennsylvania, by Arthur Knorr. A producer of Milton Berle’s Texaco Star Theater and the Miss US and Miss Universe pageants, Mr. Knorr would occasionally escape to his wife Ruth Gray’s family home on Halfmoon Valley Road near State College, Pennsylvania. The Jeep was ordered to support any and all possible maintenance needs on the Pennsylvania property. Accordingly it was outfitted with all the options, including a Ramsey cable winch, both front and rear tops with side curtains, floor mats, a hood lock, a radiator cover, and a heater/defroster – but also a dump trailer, power take-offs in front and rear, a pulley drive, and a hydraulic implement lift, running attachments that included a Timken buzz saw, grass cutter, ‘bush and bog harrow’, and hydraulic 6-foot snow plow!
