“1953 Willys Jeep CJ3A. I think i am the third owner. I have owned it for 23 years or so. It has less than 500 miles on a frame off rebuild. Rebuilt running gear, suspension, steering, steering box and column, oversized brakes, drums and wheel cylinders, master cylinder, and new brake lines. Rodded original radiator, installed overflow tank. Rebuilt Harrison heater and rodded core. Installed 12 volt 3 wire alternator, totlal rewire of vehicle, rebuilt starter motor, converted all lights and guages to 12 volt, and installed fuse strip. Has roll cage, Lincoln electric bucket seats (but have originals, see photo) fold and tuck rear seat. Has full soft top and doors, bikini top and 5 new tires and wheels. Original scripted metal body, fenders and hood. No dents (to speak of). I did not repaint body, because my wife would not want it “scratched”. Has been garaged with all 3 owners. I have all receipts and many of the old parts that were replaced. Willys listed these as a “1/4 ton truck”.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3650.
(04/20/2015) Includes a Warn OD.
“Excellent running 1946 CJ2A. Very original, drives right down the road with no squeaks or rattles. Lock out hubs and 4WD works just fine. Headlights, tail-lights, turn signal and interior lights, horn (vintage) all work as designed.
I bought this a few months back, and since then have done the following: new tires, new fuel pump and regulator, new Solex carburetor, new shocks, new exhaust system front to back, new instruments, new transmission cross member and motor mounts. I changed the intake/exhaust manifold gasket, set the valves, changed the plugs and wires, and timed the motor. Engine, transmission, overdrive, transfer case and differential oils all changed.
The L134 flathead makes good power, does not smoke, has good oil pressure and runs cool. There’s an enormous winch mounted on the front, which I have been told is WWII vintage for moving aircraft on the runway.
Body has the usual dings and rust typical of a 70 year old Willys.
I am selling to get a more highway friendly Jeep, although one can drive this 60 MPH if they wish.
Email me your phone number and I will call you. Reasonable offers are welcome. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
This may be worth a look. It appears it’s covered most of the time.
“I am selling my 52 willy’s jeep. I wish I knew more about it, just know I don’t have time to finish her up and make it the treasure it is. It was handed down to me. I do know it’s all original besides electric fan and fuel pump. It does not start right now, but it did before I towed it back to Emmett. I believe it needs new battery and tune up. Hasn’t been started for probably 10 years. It’s an awesome truck, some rust but the right owner would have her looking great. I’m asking 3500 call or text if you’d like little more info or look at it. ”
UPDATE: Was $3000. **SOLD**

This is Part IV of Leigh’s trip across Australia in a 1944 Ford GPW. Read Part III here.
Once more the weather was fine as we set off for Innaminka, although this was to be the un-doing of one of the Jeeps as the temperature reached 35 deg C (95 deg F) and combined with the hard going it cracked a cylinder head, yet another MB (Toyota engined) had electrical & clutch trouble, hitting a wash away in the road a bit hard the front diff knocked the alternator & clutch slave cylinder off! Temporary repairs were carried out and they left the convoy to head for home, arriving safely several days later we heard.
Innaminka has a permanent population of about 12 residents and is nestled on the Cooper Creek 1065 km (660 ml) north-east of Adelaide and 459 km (285ml) from Lyndhurst up the Strzeleki Track. The actual “track” was originally blazed by Harry Redford, a cattle thief while droving 1000 head of stolen cattle from central Queensland to Adelaide. He was subsequently caught but due to his heroic efforts in establishing a new route was pardoned and later became one of Australias greatest drovers.
Innaminka is best known for the tragic death in 1861 of explorers Burke & Wills on the banks of the Cooper Creek. The full story can be found here.
As the next day was a lay day an impromptu fishing competition was held on Cooper Ck with several Yellowbelly Perch being taken, It was here also that our clutch began to make strange noises, due I thought to the ingress of dust into the spigot bearing – more of this later.
In the following days we visited Burke’s grave & the Dig Tree, Montkeleary Creek, home to millions of friendly flies, so bad you had to wait untill dark to cook & eat, then along the Arrabury Rd toward Cordillo Downs. First leased in 1875, by the turn of the century Cordillo Downs was running more than 85,000 sheep. During this time Afgan camel teams hauled stores to the station from Farina and returned with wool the round trip taking two months.
Today Cordillo runs only cattle with approx 7000 head of poll Hereford cattle on the 7,900 square kilometer (4908 sq. ml) property. Next we head for Birdsville via Cadelga Ruins.

I wonder whatever happened to Bessie Harris?
“1943 Press Photo Bessie Harris Works at Richmond Ford Plant Making Jeeps
This is an original press photo. Photo measures 7 x 9inches. Photo is dated 7-8-1943.”
Includes a new body.
“I have a 1949 Willys CJ3A for sale, approximately 26K original miles. It runs, but needs a gas tank and a battery, among other things. The body is fair, the floors are shot, but it comes with a new steel body that has been primered to keep it from rusting. The brakes are fairly frozen, but I was able to get it up onto a trailer when I bought it last fall. It has been stored in a garage since that time.
I have lost my storage space and need to sell. Asking $2,000 or best offer. The new steel body alone is worth $2500. No tire kickers please. Located Skaneateles. I do not have a title for this so it is being sold as a parts vehicle only.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000
Includes a plow. Looks like a good price.

Glenn forwarded this ad. Not many of these around in the states. I believe the proper name for this is an MK2/3 British Ferret Armored Scout Car. This may be missing the turret on top. Here’s an example of one with a turret.: http://www.track-kickers.com/images/mkferret23-main.jpg

This is Part III of Leigh’s trip across Australia in a 1944 Ford GPW. Read Part II here.
Next morning we awoke to a clear sky – finally, and set of for the small town of Blinman, the town began with the discovery of Copper in 1859 and at its peak had a population of over 1500. today this peacful settlement has a permanent population of just 22, plus residents of the surrounding pastoral properties. It “boasts” a General store, Post Office and Hotel.
After our first machine made coffee for nearly a week we moved on toward our next stop, Leigh Creek (cannot lie, it is named after me!) in brilliant sunshine, everyones spirits had clearly lifted. Stopping briefly for a break at historic Beltana, now a semi-ghost town which has important links with the Overland Telegraph, Transcontinental Railway, Australian Inland Mission and Mining.
Reaching Leigh Creek around lunch time most took the opportunity to have a store bought meal and yet another coffee, such luxury, additional supplies and fuel were purchased as this was to be the last opportunity to do so until we reached Innaminka in four days time.
Leaving Leigh Creek the road deteriorated rapidy which was a sign of things to come with truck size corrugations in some sections and a surface like broken bricks in others playing havoc with seventy year old Jeep suspensions and drivers nearly as ancient! The three Mercedes Unimogs on the other hand weren’t feeling a thing!
Camping that night at Balcanoona Station in the Gammon ranges we could witness for the first time this trip, the stars, as can only be done in Central Australia – brilliant.
As the next day was a lay day many of us decided to visit the iconic Arkaroola before heading to Montecollina Bore via Moolawatana Station where Australias version of the Great Wall of China crosses the track, the Dingo or Dog fence as it is commonly known, a six foot high 5614 km (3488 mile) long fence that was built in the 1880’s to keep the Dingo, Australias only native wild dog, out of the fertile south-east part of the continent to protect sheep flocks. It is the worlds longest fence stretching from Jimbour near the Queensland coast to end on the cliffs of the Nullabor Plain in South Australia.
Arriving at Montecollina, the only known bore to be sunk for the watering of stock on the Strezlecki Track many took the opportunity of a dip in the warm waters. Today it is a popular campsite for outback travellers however apart from water has no facilities.
Tomorrow onward to Innaminka with the weather improving all the time.
