1953 CJ-3A Meridian, ID **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD* Was $4000.

The seller notes this is the “Go-Devil” motor, but obviously it’s the Hurricane F-head.

“Thank you for looking at this 1953 Jeep Willy’s. This Jeep is in good condition and runs really well too! It is a 4 cylinder, 3 speed transmission. The Willy’s has no rust holes in it and no major dents or scratches. Somewhere along the line it has been really taken care of. The motor has 2,000 miles on the crate engine (it is the “Go Devil” motor) and the tranny was built not long ago.

I have not had this long, but this is what I know about it! Come drive it and experience old history fun!”

1949 Model? Torc, NM $600

No pics provided.

“Up for sale is a 1949 willys. The motor is a good running 225 buick v6 but will need a water pump as the existing one leaks. The drivetrain including the trans, transfer, and diffs are original. The body is in fair shape for the age, showing some rust in the usual areas but easily fixable. Fenders are solid, having some filler but no rust what so ever just rough bodywork. Has new starter installed and many other brand new parts as well as used that come with it. It’s a good base for a project but I decided to go with a Landcruiser instead. Call or text me for more info and pics…thanks! 575-740-4023”

Early 1950s Brochure on eBay

• CATEGORIES: Advertising & Brochures, Artists/Drawings, CJ-3A, Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

This brochure that Marc found shows the CJ-3A employed in a variety of jobs. The use of the triangle in the illustration is interesting.

“This listing is for a vintage advertisement. It is an ad for Willys Overland Motors of Toledo Ohio and their universal Jeeps. The ad folds out like a small poster. There is a dealer address stamp on it. I am not positive but I believe this advertisement is from the 1930’s. It is filled with information and pictures from that time frame. It is roughly 17″ x 11″ when it is unfolded.”

I am asking 400obo, or I would also take a trade for something that goes boom.”

Listed as a ’57, I don’t see anything to suggest it is a DJ-3A.

Bill Dedo contacted me yesterday. He’s hoping to track down a 1949 CJ-3A of his that his mother sold years ago. He has learned it might be a restoration project in Alta, California. If you happened to have any leads, add a comment to this post.

Here are some photos:

1949 CJ-3A Altoona, PA **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.

The engine turns over, but isn’t running at the moment.

“I have a 1949 CJ3A With a new clear Title Its been sitting in a shed since the late 80’s. I purchased this with the thought of a restoration however I’m starting to think I’ll never be that interested in it. Its a Numbers Matching CJ Original Willy’s-Overland L-134″Go Devil”4-cylinder iron block T-90 transmission and Dana 18 transfer case, a Dana 25 front axle and Dana 41 rear axle. The frame and drive train are solid Body on the other hand needs work. Everything is there someone fixed all body sheet metal once from the Fire wall back looks like it was made out of 14 gage its heavy with no holes but will need completely replaced if your doing a restoration. Windshield frame is rusted up with some holes came with a hard top and doors also in bad shape but the right person could fix. Has CJ5 Seats and someone along the line cut a hole in the hood for a vent or something. I’ll be honest for a 1949 that was well used its not that bad. Its painted olive drab but looks as if it may have been red from the factory. drive train turns and everything shifts engine turns and from prior owner says it was running like a top when he parked it. I’m not sure if he is even still alive. I’m asking 1200 for everything this would break me even. If your looking for a nice project this is it. Only serious inquiries. I don’t have allot of time to screw around with showing this to everyone and their brother.”
