UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2450.

“This 3A is almost done. It is not a complete restoration but a nice little Willys for parades or driving around town. I was going to put a set of NDCC tires on it and let it be but I have decided I have to many other projects so this one is going up for sale. I’ve had the Jeep since last August. I’ve put a new battery in it, plugs, wires, cap & rotor button, new front brake lines, new shocks, gas pedal, & headlights. It does still need the exhaust finished, a rear brake line and a wire replaced between the amp gauge and the key switch. I drive it around every once and a while just to keep it in running order. The electrical system is still 6V. Feel free to email me or call me with any questions.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.

This CJ-3A looks in decent condition.  Strangely, it’s got both passenger and driver side spare tire holders.

“Lost my deer lease, selling my 49 Willys Jeep CJ3A, only 235 miles on new (not rebuilt) transmission/transfer case, new drive shafts, new front axle, new fuel tank, steering parts, Solex carburetor, OEM Jeep seat frames/cushions, 12 volt system, professionally rebuilt rear axle, tow bar, bikini top, rebuildable transmission/transfer case included. Excellent deer lease jeep, starts and runs good, very dependable.”

Despite the seller’s assurances, I’m quite sure this isn’t a CJ-3B, lol.  It appears in good shape though.

“1951 Willys  model CJ3B odometer says 55566 it is probably correct, but we could not verify the actual mileage. Runs great looks great… a real head turner, Military look,  could use minor interior detailing and reconditioning but is a complete working  CJ3B and fine example for a vehicle of this age. Any questions or additional pictures needed please call me at 978-682-3200”

Update:  Well, not so fast.  I thought this was sold on eBay, but the deal must have fallen through.  Now it’s back on eBay.

This appeared to sell on ebay for $9100 last month.  The seller was asking $7500 on craigslist.

Restored CJ-3A with a few upgrades plus a Bantam trailer.

“1952 CJ2A & bantam jeep trailer. completly gone thru in 2004 jeep & trailer/new paint/new seats/new aluminum rims&tires/12 volts/also has back seat & 10″ x 2″ brakes. jeep & trailer both match in color/tires & rims.”

This is an interesting jeep with a variety of upgrades, including a ’45 (MB?) body on a 70’s CJ frame and running gear.  Someone knew what they were doing.  Given the upgrades, this price would be hard to beat if you had to built it yourself.  I hadn’t heard of the Hyrdrovac brake system.

“Custom 1951 CJ. Stretched 45 body on a 70’s CJ5 frame. 4 speed with granny low.
Dual stick transfer case with 2 wheel low option.  Ford 300 in-line 6. Dana 30 front axle with disc brakes. Dana 44 rear – full floating with locking hubs for flat towing. 33″ tire with like new tread. 8000# Warn winch. power brakes – hydrovac system. Brakes continue to work when the engine stalls. Much better set-up than standard power brakes. Tool boxes built into rear fenders (hidden & stock) …. Text or call 619-813-2600 or Email fatboy@sdccu.net”

The body looks like it’s seen some good work.  The grille lights are unique.

This jeep appears to have a fiberglass front clip.

“Alum. Buick V-8. Runs great, 3-spd.”

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was $2000

This jeep looks rough.  The front clip appears to be tilting down a bit.  The wheels looks good.

“1950 Jeep Willys, 3 spd, v6, extra rollbar, extra set of wheels,working heater, brand new soft top that cost 1600. This jeep is all old school! it is a blast in the snow and mud, it just doesn’t quit! I really hate to get rid of it, but I have other hobbies and not enough time.

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was $3500.

Here’s a nice looking CJ-3A (though this would benefit from a different hood design).

“1950 Willy’s Jeep CJ3A. F-head 134 motor, warren overdrive, winch, new Tiger top. Runs Great. $3,500.00 or trade for a newer 4 wheel drive quad.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $850.

I’m not sure what’s wrong with this jeep, but it looks pretty good for only $850.

“Vintage Jeep 1951 in decent condition (rebuilt engine flathead 4-cylendar).  See attached picture. $850.00 Firm.  Email for any questions.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1600.

Yeah, the body isn’t a pretty picture.  But, the drive train sounds like it might have potential.

“A 1951 Willys jeep no title runs like a champ comes with 3 sets of tires and wheels all kinds of spare parts including heads axle shafts axle housings engine block… actualy 1 or 2 enginges that were stripped down the frame is straight and it is solid!! the body on the other hand has seen better days as far as i know it was last on the road in 1972 and been sitting behind a barn until a few years ago when the guy i bought it from got it running and used it to plow his driveway…the jeep came with the house he bought”

UPDATE:  Price dropped to $1500.

1951 CJ-3A: Interesting paint job

“I am selling a 1951 Willys CJ3A jeep. The jeep looks to be all original except for the front and rear axle and a few other small parts. It has the ww2 jeep axles under it. The jeep’s body is in good shape and since there has been a hard top on it for years there is vary little rust. No gone through rust in the floor. The engine looks like it may have been rebuilt, it runs good and strong, the carburetor will need to be rebuilt because it needs to be choked for it to run good. The jeep has the original foot starter…”

There’s a knock in the engine, but otherwise this might be a pretty good jeep.  The pics aren’t great, but it looks like there have been suspension and frame upgrades.

“beautiful willys the only thing is is that it has a knock in the motor and have not started it in over a yeear and a half but a awesome jeep have a full soft top and doors and a bikini top but no half doors looking for a nice boat for the lake this summer/nice fishing boat/old car /nice road bike or crotch rocket/nice jet ski or two / or let me know what ya got”
