“1952 Willys CJ3A. Runs good, Drives good, Stops good, 4×4 works fine. Lots of new parts installed. 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. Hours are 8-4 eastern M-F.”

1953 CJ-3A Chassis(?) Orangevale, CA $1000

Seller is keeping the body and VIN and selling the rest (mostly sounds like the power train and chassis).

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/657991271571370/

“I’m selling everything but the cab/tub and everything in it. I will be keeping the VIN and title. May also keep the radiator. I’d like to sell the frame, rolling on axles with the engine, transmission, and transfer case as one complete unit. It’s a 1953 CJ3A with a V6 swap. Not sure if it’s an odd fire or not. 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. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. $1000 OBO”

Year? CJ-3A Victoria, TX $800

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3A This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

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.”
