Except for that bump in the hood, this looks like it was a good solid build.  Non runner now.

(08/10/09) Here’s a very early CJ-3A with a serial number of # 12041

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was  $3900

(07/25/09) Is it just me or does the rear passenger side corner look sharper than normal?

“REDUCED! Private party, consignment Sale! Right here in Prunedale, 3 speed, 4 wheel drive, 4 cylinder, Bikini Top. Runs good. Price good this weekend. Bring Cash for this super deal!! “

It’s rough.

“Jeep CJ-3A serial # 24012 Last titled in Colorado. Lost title. Ready to restore.”

It looks great, but these big prices just aren’t holding up at all in this economy.

“This is a great project vehicle that I just don’t have time to work on. It has been parked for many years in hopes of restoring it. The last time we tried to start it up, the engine (a big block chevy engine) started fairly easily so it is my hope that it would run with a tune-up. The body is in pretty good shape with some surface rust. If you are looking for a Willy’s to restore to original, this isn’t the one for you as some modifications (diamond plating, different engine, seats) have been made. I have quite a few parts and accessories – tune-up parts, new (gently used) tires, a new hood and tail gate, etc. call Ian at 206-853-1392”

Between the PTO Winch, the rims, the windshield – glass -wipers, there appears to be plenty of value here.

“1951 CJ3A Willys Jeep, 6 cylinder,PTO winch, Aluminum rims, Needs lots of work.”

This sure looks in great condition for the price.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4800.

There’s a number of good upgrades on this rather stock looking jeep.

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was $3,500

Few specifics in the description.  I think it’s got my seats.

“I took it apart, cleaned it up, put it back together. New; carb, coil, dist, starter, brakes, clutch, flywheel, suspension, rebuilt tranny and transfer. The drivetrain is all original. The cage is bolt in. Full soft top and bikini top, both in excellent condition. Soft top will not fit with cage installed. It is titled, tagged and insured, but I do not recommend it for the street or for anyone that can’t work on it themselves. It’s noisy and rides rough. It leaks oil. ”

This looks good.  A nice paint job and this should look pretty sharp.

“1952 Willys Jeep model CJ3A, Soft top with doors that are not shown in the pictures. Original type engine with 12 volt conversion. Tail gate welded over with flar pannel. Runs and is drivable on the street or off road. Parts and mechanical manuals supplied.”

This looks like it might be a good deal.

“This 1951 Willy’s Jeep has a 4-cylinder flathead 3 speed on the floor front locking hubs and tow bar. It has a re-built engine 6-volt system. Well worth the price if you know these kind of the Jeeps. Serious inquiries ONLY. For more information call Julio@ (520)-705-2715”

This might be a good deal.

“350 Chevy – Roll cage, rancho suspension, new paint, all together, needs minor stuff to finish. $2500 OBO”

UPDATE:  This is now on Craigslist for $6800

This appears very nice, though there has been some body work done (no drain holes and it appears the tailgate might have been removed.  The top looks pretty classic.  Finally, this is a very early CJ-3A with a serial number of 11060.

UPDATE:  Price dropped to $3333

The seller says it’s ready, but the top and doors aren’t in good shape and it still looks like it needs paint to me.

UPDATE:  **SOLD**

It’s hard to tell a lot from the small pictures, but this appears to be a project.  Note how far forward the radiator is positioned.  I hope that’s not where it attaches.
