(08/10/2020) I you are an Eddie Arnold fan, this jeep might appeal to you. It appears to be a thorough rebuild, there have been a few updates, such as the brakes, 12 volts, radiator, and more.

“This cj3a has been fully restored. Every part has been addressed. Engine, Transmission, Transfer case, Front axle, Rear axle all have been rebuilt, All the rust in the body has been cut out and replaced, the body has been striped to bare metal, primed and repainted. The frame has been striped all cracks welded and some reinforcement added.

Many new parts including springs, hangers, rebuilt steering box and all the steering parts rebuilt or replaced. 11″ brakes on all four wheels, all new or rebuilt. All the gauges have been rebuilt. A brand new wiring harness has been installed and now it’s 12 volt. Turn signals have been added. The transmission has had an overdrive unit installed. The brake and clutch pedal have been rebuilt. The seats have all new springs and upholstery. This is as a brand new jeep.

This Jeep was bought new by country western music star and member of the Grand ol’ Opry, Eddie Arnold. He used this jeep on his farm for 30 years. I have loads of documentation, letters, titles, pictures and several signatures, he even signed the repair manual.”

“I am sad to be posting this but here it is. This is a one of a kind Hardtop Jeep Willys CJ3A. It has 18,500 original miles and the motor was rebuilt at 15,826 in 2016 ($3000 of work that I have the paperwork for).

Shocks were replaced at 15,665 miles. It is converted to 12volt. Its got brake lights and blinkers. 4×4 high and low work perfectly. The hardtop is custom fitted and fabricated, they didn’t make these with hardtops back then. This is a one of one Jeep Willys with an awesome patina, it could be sanded and panted easily but I would say don’t do it, keep that patina alive.

Rebuilt starter, new fuel pump, carburetor, Master cylinder, plugs, wires, tune up parts, sheering wheel, and steering bell crank pin and bearings. This would make a great parade or farm jeep. It would be an excellent restoration project. There is some bondo here and there, it pops out of second gear when you let off the gas and use the gears to slow it. (typical) It has leaks and some play in the steering. (All very normal for one of these) It is available if it is still listed. It is located at Quarter Ton Parts in Chickamauga, GA.

I drove it to where it’s been parked for about a year. I believe the master cylinder needs to be replaced. I’ll try to get it running for a serious buyer before I remove what I’m keeping.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $800.

(10/19/2020) A couple things with the seller’s notes. I agree this appears to be a CJ-3A, but the Dana 44 was introduced in late 1950 to the CJ-3A (not 1952).

“Was converted to chevy V8 and front saginaw manual steering (excellent upgrade if you’ve ever driven a stock one). Has 16” wheels and one of them appears to be original (date stamped 1953 military) it will need a replacement engine as the v8 block in it is apart and no good any longer. Jeep is rusty, modified, old and in need of extensive repair and restoration but is mostly all there. I do have the front fenders, they were only taken off to pull the engine out but I have lost interest and have too many other projects to finish first.

The firewall was butchered when the engine conversion was made but wouldn’t be too difficult to patch and repair with sheet metal and a little effort. Asking $1200, it has no title and I am not sure what year or model it is, my best guess 1953. It has the dana44 rear axle (means it is at least a 1952 and they quit building the low hood in 1953 and the gear ratio is 5.38:1 like most of them were throughout the years. It rolls easy but should be trailered because of age.”
