This looks like a parts jeep.  It looks like it’s been sitting a while.  Note the hubs appear to be warn hubs.  Maybe there’s some other updates as well.

“This is a willys jeep 4×4 the year is between a 48-53. It has the original 4cylinder flathead motor, high/low transfer case. It would be great for restoring or using it for hunting. I am posting this for my uncle so if you have any questions email me and I will ask him and email you back. I have seen this run and drive. This does not have a title.”

UPDATE:  Was $2500. **SOLD**

This is a project that’s a bit expensive for a project.

“1949 Willys CJ3A with 327 Corvette engine – $3,000. This Flatfender will make a great project vehicle! The 1968 Corvette 327 engine (Holly 4 barrel) is not running and probably needs a rebuild.  Includes Bikini Top and parts for a full roll cage.  The tire sidewalls are cracked so bring your trailer.”

This is a rough, but running CJ-3A.  This looks a pretty decent deal.

“Willis jeep original flat head 4 cylinder engine. Engine runs great! brakes need repair. This Jeep has oversized drum brakes (the original brakes are included) master cylinder was just rebuilt new flex lines on the front. the electrical system has been converted to 12v (except the starter) the charging system is an alternator. I have new motor mounts and a new oil filter also a carberator kit.”

This looks like an aftermarket body, so it’s probably in very good condition.

“This is a 1950 Willys CJ3A Jeep. This belonged to my father-in-law, he was a car collector and has now passed away. I am now the owner and will try my best to answer your questions. It is almost entirely original. I put a new gas tank on it also a new carburator, tail pipe, muffler and a blinker switch. It runs great, approx. 50 mph. Four wheel drive works and both high and low range work.  All the gauges work (oil pressure, gas, watertemp, amps and speedometer)  the odometer does not work. All the lights work(high-low beam and left-right blinkers)  Has a rear hitch and a spare tire as the pictures show. The paint does not appear to be original. I would love to keep her but I don’t have the time to spend on it.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

It looks good.  There’s a thorough explanation by the seller.

“You are bidding on a 1951 Willys CJ3A that has been body on frame restored by JaxJeepOnline. The body was in great shape for a jeep of this age when I got it and only had surface rust areas and 1 very small area that was rust damaged. Sheet metal was used to fill the areas. All parts that I applied are OEM or NOS parts. I replaced the front grille. The seats still have the original pans and springs in good condition. Turn signals have been added and the original 6 volt configuration has been maintained in case the buyer wishes to go further with a resto and keep it as close to original as possible….”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1750.

This doesn’t run.  It apears to have some rust along the side of it.

“I have a 1951 Willys Jeep for sale. It does NOT run. It has the original flathead 4 cylinder motor. Manual transmission. 4 wheel drive. Half cab with doors are included. Would make a great project! Interesting trades considered. Asking $1750 No e-mails”

Needs new rear axle.  Otherwise, doesnt’ sound like a bad price.  I think this is a CJ-3A (NOT A CJ-1.. lol)

“it has a fully rebuilt v-6 in it with brand new cooper all-terrain tires levaling kit,good paint job,new bucket seats,roll bar,all new wireing,runs perfect,the bad is that it needs a new rear axle but othee than that it is in very good condition for it’s age, thanks danny 541-855-1473”

This is a nice looking CJ-3A.  I swear I’ve seen it before, but a search through all my 154 1951 CJ-3A pictures didn’t yield anything.

This appears in pretty good stock shape.  There’s a few small dings, but nothing obvious appears wrong.

UPDATE:  Price dropped to $2500

It appears there’s been a good deal of work done on it.

“This is a early 1950’s Willys Jeep with almost complete restoration. The jeep was stripped to the frame and rebuilt from the ground up. It just needs a few things to finish (radiator,wiring,seats). This was my project 4 years ago and just do not have time to finish it. Please email me at hand@my180.net”

http://kpr.en.craigslist.org/cto/1148701519.html

The seller says the winch is a PTO, but that looks like a Warn winch to me?  Looks like some rust in the steps.

“either a cj2a or cj3a, has artic top, everything seems to be original. motor looks rebuilt. its been in the family for 12 years. has what i think is called an artic top, has pto winch.have title, email with any questions”

http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/cto/1146930325.html

That roll bar just isn’t working for me.  I’m a sucker for the old slot aluminum rims, as many of you know.

“Nice old Jeep, lots of work done, needs a little more… Can’t get all the pics to load, come by & see it at 6653 Mallard St, San Diego, Ca 92114.  (619) 264-1940”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

I suspect this seller won’t get any bids with a starting price of $2900.  The jeep appears pretty stock, but pictures reveal this jeep is a bit rough.

“THIS AUCTION IS FOR ONE 1950 WILLYS CJ 3A JEEP. I HAVE OWNED THIS JEEP SINCE 1976 AND AM THE SECOND OWNER. THE MOTOR WAS REBUILT IN 1975 JUST BEFORE I BOUGHT IT. IT HAS A NEW BLOCK. IT HAS THE ORIGINAL FLAT HEAD 4 CYLINDER. EVERYTHING IS ORIGINAL EXCEPT FOR THESE THINGS. I CHANGED OUT THE HUBS WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT IT. THEY ARE WARN TURN IN/OUT TYPE HUBS. THE WHEELS ARE ORIGINAL BUT TIRES ARE OBVIOUSLY DIFFERENT. THERE WAS A HITCH ON THE BACK AND I LEFT IT THERE. THERE IS STILL A 2 POINT FRONT RECEIVER THAT ALLOWS IT TO BE TOWED WITH A TOW BAR….”

It’s only $1500, it runs and sounds pretty stock. Might be a good value.

“1953 Willys Jeep, Model CJ3A, 4WD, 6 volt system, aluminum cab with plow. No brakes. Owner used to plow driveway. Body has some rust. No pictures available at this time. $1500”

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was $2800.

This might not be a bad price.  It’s worth a look if the body is in as good of shape as advertised.  For Northern Exposure fans, Roslyn, Wa, was the real setting for the fictional city of Cicely, Alaska.  (Here’s some filming locations)

“This jeep has been used summers at our cabin in Roslyn, put in covered storage in winters. Has newer F head 4 cylinder, rebuilt rearend and brakes, rewired, new battery, tow bar, bikini top, original skinny rims and weathered tires. Runs well, easy to drive, 4 wheel drive shifts and works perfect. Over all good shape, but not perfect by any means, no body rust through at all, some minor cosmetic body rust on the side but that is all. Worked perfect for us going to the beach, exploring gravel roads etc, a ton of fun for the money. Jeep is in Roslyn, can be arranged to be seen most weekends, could be brought to the West side for the right buyer and a deposit.”

UPDATE:  The price on this was $1500 a few days ago, but now the price has doubled to $3000.  More pictures provided as well.

“This is a 1951 Willys jeep in pretty good shape would like to sell or trade for a harley.This has a 350 small block and huals a$$. Lots of power no rust pretty straight body great off road toy.Also has a winch .Good tires 928-768-7184 ”

UPDATE:  Price dropped to $900

This CJ-3A has a pretty crazy tailpipe.  It might have some value, especially if it has an overdrive.

“1949? Jeep Willys overland cj3a, was running and driving last fall, parked for winter and the starter doesn’t engage and the brake pedel froze up. Will need complete restoration but has original seats with covers, a rare aftermarket hardtop from the 50’s, meyer plow blade with western hydraulics( one hydraulic cylinder is bad) and original equipment hydraulic engine driven plow pump. In Muskego Wi 53150 must sell soon–no title it was bought at a government surplus auction many years ago”

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.
