This is a beautiful CJ-3A.

“This vehicle was purchased new by a California doctor who kept it on his ranch most of it’s life. I bought it in 2003. I believe the +/-56,000 is probably accurate.The only thing that is off of original is the seat belts and roll bar which I added. It has been repainted but is original color. The seats have been rebuilt and the top was replaced. Recently(early this year) I installed all new brake drums, shoes and cylinders, also new (less than 50 miles) Michelin tires.”

**SOLD** Was $750.

“running out of room at my shop and it needs to go. has all original drivetrain. has the overhead 4cyl. needs a hood, seats, and windshield frame. has good p78 buckshots on it.”

It looks like there’s been a few mods on this CJ-3A, so some type of posi or locker seems possible.

“1951 willy 4cj5jp reg-10/31/2009 has a v6 with 1000 miles, new wheel cyl and rebuilt master. needs tires and wheels but runs with the ones on it. lights are new but need to be wired. I think it has a posi rear because 1st and second leaves great dual tire marks. thanks Jeff sell_barter@yahoo.com”

It’s not worth $2500, as it doesn’t run.  Might be worth a closer look if the price drops substantially.

“1949, dont know much about it bought at estate sale have orginal title dosent run, bodys in good shape. email or call 254-223-2737”

I know the Ad says 2A, but the year suggests it’s a 3A.  Nice top, tilt wheel, and other upgrades.

“1949 WILLYS CJ2A NICE! nice top, paint, interior, and good running gear 231 v6 3 spd 18 transfer warn overdrive, well built, 35″ mickeys fun rig great for mudding daily driving or whatever! 4000 cash no trade”

This is an ebay buy-it-now sale.  At first I thought the model year was wrong, but then I realized the body has a solid back (no tailgate). So, I believe this is a DJ-3A that has been converted to 4wd, hence the reason it sports a dana 27 front housing.  The brand new fiberglass parts alone would cost at least $600.  The tires and rims look fine.  The body appears in good shape.  It doesn’t actually say it runs, but if it does, I think this is a good price.

“This is a RUST FREE 56 willys cj 3a flat fender. It comes with a stock 283 chevy engine, t90 3 speed, model 18 t case, dana 27 front 5.38, dana 44 rear power lock 5.38 gears, roll bar, headers, NEW fiberglass front clip, tow bar, 2.5 inch lift, 10.50 31 tires, enki rims. The buyer pays all shipping or picks up in person. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding. If you have any questions please call me at 1 530 927 9827”

It’s a bit rough around the edges, but no obvious holes or major rust.

“This is a good jeep. The engine runs great. The jeep needs some work, but I have parts that go with it.
Four brand new mounted tires. A new top kit. New hubs. Gaskets and seals for front end and rear end. Shift lever floor gaskets, tail light. If you like to tinker with old jeeps, this would be a good project for you.”

This jeep has some great upgrades, but no headlights?  I guess it’s been sitting for some time.

I suspect the seller forgot to list a price.

It looks like the rear passenger tire is a little low.  The top looks in good shape.

The pictures are a little far away, but it looks pretty good. This jeep is located somewhere along the coast of Oregon.

“1952 WILLYS MB FLAT FENDER JEEP, BUICK V6, OVERDRIVE CHEVY STEERING, NEW TOP, FROM NEVADA ORIGINALLY, GREAT SHAPE, $6000.00 OBO, MAY BE INTERESTED IN TRADE???”

This is a good looking CJ-3A, which appears to be wearing a MB body rather than a CJ-3A body.  Note the side cutouts, the jockey box in the dash, the lack of a tailgate, and the storage areas in the rear wheel well.  If this is an original MB body, it’s is great condition.

“NICE 1949 WILLYS WITH 18,600 MILES, NOT ALL JACKED UP IN THE AIR, YOU CAN’T TELL IT DOESN’T HAVE A FLATHEAD FOUR CYLINDER BY LOOKING AT IT BUT WITH THE BIGGER MOTOR, BETTER TRANSMISSION AND DISC BRAKES MAKES IT MORE DRIVER FRIENDLY IN TODAYS TRAFFIC AND BARELY HAVE TO GIVE IT ANY GAS AT 50 MILES PER HOUR. FRONT DISC BRAKES, NEW TIRES, FOUR SPEED TRANSMISSION AND CHEVY 350 CI.
