UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was $3200.

This jeep likely deserves a better description.  I suspect that along with tilt steering and a nice roll cage, this CJ-3A probably has a variety of other good mods.  On the downside, the large diamond plating suggests that the sides may not be in the best shape (not sure why you’d put such large pieces on the sides except for that reason).”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

This is a beautiful, well done restoration of a CJ-3A.

1951 CJ3A Willys four wheel drive Jeep. Total body off restoreration. New NDT tires. New Beachwood 1/2 top, no doors, they can be added at any time you want  (This is Az). New full top, black vinyl Best Top with doors. Just get in and drive is all you have to do. Shipping is buyers responsibility…..”

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was $900.

This is a great deal.  The cages themselves are worth $150 a piece.  I’d be willing to bet that the white jeep has my fiberglass seats in it.  Get this while it lasts.

“1 jeep has a 302 Ford Transfer case needs work.  2 jeep has no Eng. or no Trans. $900 for both. Will separate or trade for CJ Parts.  ”

I’m not much of a fan of the roll bar, but otherwise this looks like a good CJ-3A with a few extra features.

I thought this might be a DJ-3A.  Instead, I think someone just hacked the sides of the body out on both the passenger and driver’s side.

This sounds like a good jeeping drivetrain.

“1951 Willys CJ3a (Clear title).  225 v6 w/headers, T90 3-speed, dana/spicer 18 transfercase, dana 44 front disc brakes detroit locker w/4.88 gears, dana 44 rear detroit locker w/4.88 gears, spring over conversion w/shackle reversal, power steering, 33 inch pro-comp x-terrains on simulated beadlocks, winch, full size spare, less than 10,000 miles on drivetrain (rebuilt in early 80’s).

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800.

Looks like a pretty good price for what’s there. Maybe it even runs?

“All original 49 willys jeep ready for restoration. No major rust mostly surface. Oringinal flat head 4.”

UPDATE: this nice flattie is still available.

The Chevy 181 appears to be a 3.0 Liter Marine engine, which is likely a nice 4cyl for the jeep.  This jeep is likely worth a closer look.

“1951 Willys Flatfender Jeep in great shape. Chevy 181 4 cylinder engine with a synchronized 3 speed transmission and split- stick transfer case.

“1951 Willys 4X4 Jeep Project. Solid body, Floors been replaced. No engine. Nice project”

Not to make fun of the paint job, but I really thought something was creating shadows over the jeep.  Then, I looked at an interior pic and saw it had a strange camo paint job.  I thought, ‘wait, that’s not on the outside of the jeep’.  But, I was wrong, it is indeed some type of camo on the outside.

“1950 Willys Needs Title 4X4.  Priced to sell at $2500 or best offer.  I’ve had this for over a year… received it in a trade. New 327 engine. 205 Trasfer case. Dana 44.

“im selling my 1951 willys jeep, it has a buick V6 and a snow plow on the front!! pleas call dutch”

This CJ-3A appears to be in pretty good shape.  I’m not a huge fan of the big bumpers, but not too bad otherwise.

“Engine updated to 289 V8, chrome wagon wheels with new tires, original seats 2 front and 1 rear bench, roll bar, red paint in fair condition. No vinyl top. Call 402-669-2675, leave a message if we don’t answer.”

http://denver.craigslist.org/cto/986873711.html

The paint job makes it difficult to tell, but it looks like the side panel on the driver’s side is a bit rough (rust?) at the bottom edge.  The top sure fits funkily …

“Great 4×4 vehicle! This Jeep has a v8 small block 283 2bbl carb. 1,600.00 obo for more info call(530)432-9277 (ask for steve) or e-mail sjdana@live.com”

UPDATE:  This sold for $4,995 on 01/11/2009 on eBay.

This CJ-3A only reached a high bid of $3,550 during the last auction attempt. I was a little surprised by that, but it’s also not been restored to ‘original specs’.  It looks nice and is back on the auction block.

“1949 CJ3A in extremely good condition.  It has be in body off restoration for 13 years striped to the frame.  It had the usual rust in the floor pans, new steel was welded in these areas. Also new under body rails were welded in. The frame was in good shape and the floor and the rear fender well are in good shape.  After the body tub was completed and before installed on the frame it was completely undercoated with a rubbery undercoat. Both front and rear axles were completely disassembled and rebuilt….”

UPDATE:  Price has dropped to $4000.  The seller incorrectly calls this a CJ-3B. This has been sale for 9 months.

“Great little Willys in great condition with a soft top. 495-2809 or 880-7929 ”

http://boise.craigslist.org/car/636883112.html

The seller has either the model or the year wrong on this jeep.

“New paint, runs great. Custom seats, new top, custom wheels worth $1200 themselves. Drives great. Nice seats that makes it a nice ride. Worth a lot more than the asking price and would cost a lot more to restore one to this conditon. This is a head turner. Looking to move and need to sell. Serious buyers only.”
