UPDATE:  Brett learned more about this jeep.  Check in the comments for more info.

Brett forwarded this CJ-3A.  It looks solid, though it will need a few updates to be road legal.

“This is a 1951 Willis Jeep Antique. Has roll bar and canvas top. Good running condition with good tires.”

The body doesn’t look too bad, but the seller indicates it is.  This appears to have been a nice build at some point.

(11/15/09) This has either a repo tub or a M-38 tub.  I can’t quite tell which.

“Willys jeep for sale, all complete with a 225 V-6 motor (runs) aother than that it is stock with newer tires and dana 41 rear. started the project but running out of time and enthusiasm to finish it. has tilt steering column and seats need to be upholstered. Tub is after market and essentially rust free, all primered and ready to paint. Comes with two stock fuel tanks and one after market aluminum fuel cell. (windshield frame not in photo but is with the jeep). No Trades or Low Ballers”

This looks like a good price and a good start on a build.
