A ran-when-parked 3A.

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/606433244332584

“I am selling my 1951 CJ3A. I am the 3rd owner but it has been sitting for over a decade and was told it ran when it was parked. I have replaced most of the wiring, gauges, and gas tank with accurate reproduction. Wanted to restore it and get it driving but ran out of time. Besides what I have changed and the wheels/tires the vehicle is still original as it came off the factory floor. Also still has the VIN plate which is very rare for an old Willys. Asking $8k because of the rarity and original VIN plate.”

It doesn’t smoke and has good compression. -Comes with a brand new full brake rebuild kit from Walcks Jeep Parts. -It has a brand new set of bias ply tires. -Body is pretty dinged up from years of use, but it has basically no rust. There is one rust spot the size of a dime on the passenger side. This Jeep is a project. You will have to trailer it home. I’m sad to sell it, but I’m moving, so its got to go. Located in Trinidad, Colorado. Cash only, no trades.”

Year? CJ-3A? Zillah, WA **SOLD**

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

year-cj3a-zillah-wa-01

UPDATE: **Sold**

This is a REALLY well done build. The customizations are clean and simply executed. David has a clear title, but the serial number appears to be from the previous L-head engine (not uncommon).

The only issue with the jeep is that the hazards are staying on when the jeep is running. The switch to turn them off isn’t obvious (unclear where that is).

Here are the specs as best as I could determine:

It is a CJ-3A based on the body and the frame
Buick V6 (most likely a 225)
12 volt system
3 Speed (T-14?)
Dana 20 transfercase (single lever)
Custom radiator
Power Steering
Tilt Steering wheel (possibly out of a Cherokee jeep?)
Dana 30 front (most likely)
Dana 44 rear 30 spline axle center pumpkin
Dual tanks with a change-over valve
Swing pedals
Mechanical, but custom, clutch setup.
Dual master brake cylinder
Disc brakes in the front
Drum brakes in the rear (likely 11″)
Full Roll cage, though mounted to the body and not to the frame
Soft top
Serial number likely based on the previous L-head 4 cyl engine
Custom rear bumper
