UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $17,500.

(05/12/2020) This is looks like a true frame-off refurb; it does have a few minor mods, such as updated brakes.

“THIS IS A PROJECT AND WILL NEED TRAILERING. 307 Chevy converted, motor installed by local mechanic but never completed, 4×4 works fine, bucket is in pretty good shape very little rust, it’s been stored a while but inside or under cover all but a few days. All in all pretty good for near 80 yrs old. I bought it from a friend intent on putting her on the road but health issues interfere. A good wrench could have her driving in no time.

“1951 willys Jeep 383 Small block chevy. 3 speed manual, runs, drives, and stops 4×4 works great, will go anywhere, super cool jeep with flip up windshield. Clean title in hand Transmission is old and from the 50’s, if I was going to keep it I’d put in an automatic. Twin stick transfer case. Tires don’t have much tread. It’s a loud mud Jeep and probably not street legal so don’t expect heated seats and cooled cup holders lol.”

Needs some work.

“Willys Cj3a all originals, runs and drives needs brakes, very lil rust, cab or top does not go with the Jeep”

The tan body is a CJ-2A, but the frame it’s on is either a very late CJ-2A chassis or a CJ-3A chassis or later.

“1949 Willys Jeep CJ2A and CJ3A. Engine turns over but not getting gas. The CJ3A is in parts but most of it is there. Missing one set of seats. This is being sold as a package deal. A great project vintage jeep.”

Either there are protective plates or patches along each side of the body.

“1951 CJ3A – mostly original, runs, drives perfect, stops well. 6v, new stock wiring harness, great tread, engine purs perfectly. Steel body with Willy’s script hood and tailgate. Absolutely no bondo currently driven on road”

(04/16/2019) Has a patched passenger floor. Has a shutoff switch at the battery.

“(text from 12/2019 ad) … 1951 CJ3A bought 4 years ago and had it completely gone through mechanically, new shocks, bushings, tires, frame cleaned up and painted. I left everything else original as I bought it. Fires up every time, drives straight as an arrow and can get up to 60mph. There are just a few minor things that need tending to that I’ll be working on: needs fuel pump gasket, exhaust tip needs to be tacked back in place, and pops out of second gear. Has really been a great Jeep but our family is growing and it’s time. Let me know if you have any questions or need anymore pics.”
