1953 CJ-3A Farm Jeep North Canton, OH **SOLD**

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

UPDTE: **SOLD** Was $6500. As Bill notes in the comments, there has been some odd activity with this Jeep.

Seller believes this to be a Farm Jeep based on the serial number. The hardtop is a Kelly “23” series top. Thanks to Tom for sharing it.

“Serial Number 453GC1 10049 indicates a 4-cylinder, 1953 production year. The fifth symbol C indicates a Farm Jeep. About 10,617 CJ3As were produced in 1953, but only 85 serialized Farm Jeeps were produced in 1953, this Willys is number 49. Less than 10 of these are listed in the Kaiser Willys or CJ3B.info databases to still be intact or running. While it has been resprayed, the original color was Pacific Blue, and the original paint can be seen under the hood and inside the fenders.

Farm Jeeps had reinforced frames for the additional implements as well as upgraded springs. The frame and suspension are in good shape. The engine and drive train are fully functional, and it starts and drives reliably. Steering is reasonable for the condition, however much of its 27,000 actual miles has been off pavement, while it can be driven on the road, it would need adjustments to feel comfortable above 45 MPH.

Several folks forwarded this one. Interesting that this has a top with side windows. It just further demonstrates that the CJ-5 and DJ-3A versions of this top were interchangeable.

“1953 Jeep Willys CJ3A. Title has body type as farm Jeep and model as FJ (farm Jeep ?). Still has 6 volt electrical system and pretty much original other than the aluminum radiator. Brakes and emergency brake works but it has never been down the road since I’ve owned it for 11 years. Always starts on the coldest day of the year to plow driveway maybe twice a year. Was last ran in October of last year and never had snow to use it last winter but it just started right up without charging the battery just pulled the choke and it fired. Very dependable and hydraulic plow works fine up and down, angling the blade side to side is done manually though. I would recommend towing it even though it has brakes I don’t know how well it will stop on the road it has never left my driveway in 11 years after brake system was replaced, engine rebuilt and clutch replaced.”

1949? CJ-3A? Franklin, OH **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3A, CJ5 This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000.  The seller no longer indicates the miles on the speedometer as “original miles”.

(08/01/2022) This looks like a good build, but the reason I am posting it is that, for some reason, it has a serial number tag that places it as a CJ-5 with a V-6 with emissions from around mid-1969 (8305017 360695). So, maybe this is a CJ-3A body on a newer chassis.

“1949 jeep cj-3a runs and rides great absolutely no rust it’s got brand new tires, soft top and is very clean for how old it is has Buick v6 with a manual 3 speed the title says 1970 to make road worthy but you can tell it is way older than that ….This jeep gets all the looks and is a great cruiser!!! Come check it out !!! ”
