Seller is looking for at least $15,000.

“Decided to sell my 1952 Willys CJ3A that just recently completed a full, frame off restoration. My family has owned this Jeep for 37 years (since 1975) when my Dad bought. He recently passed away and this Jeep isn’t helping the healing process for some reason.

This Willys went thru a complete restoration and was finished in 2012. A complete BRAND NEW steel body was purchased and installed. Frame was sandblasted, tec. Jeep has original motor and trans as well as a very RARE factory installed rear PTO winch. Tires are OEM originals and also Brand New. The list of New Parts is very long, all original and expensive!

Those of you that know these Jeeps, know what they are worth. I’m looking for the Best Offer. For those of you out there that are tire kickers, I will advise you that any offer under $15k won’t even be considered……so that’s the ballpark I’m playing in.
Email or text wih any questions…..33zero-42one-68zero0”

The bumper could use replacing, but this pic hints that this might be in decent shape.

“This is a 1956 4 wheel drive Willys pick up. I believe it’s all original including the 134 CID 6CYL and Borg Warner transmission. It was a running truck when I bought it as a project 2 years ago. It has since been started a few times but has not been run in about 6-8 months. Will require a tune up to be road ready again.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $22,500.

Mark listed this over at sellajeep.com.

“1949 Willys VJ This is a great car, fun to drive and a real head turner. I purchased this last winter from a private seller in AZ who had been rebuilding it and he tried to keep it as original as possible. It was near finished and I added a few things to it. Here is a list.

New: top and side curtains, frame for top, gas tank and sending unit, exhaust pipe and muffler, fuel pump, turn signals, hub caps, seats covers, a new overdrive, chrome bumpers, steering wheel with suicide knob, outside mirrors, dash nobs and carb kit. The engine is a totally rebuilt 4 cyl. (lead-free gas) by a Jeep expert in Phoenix and it has a newer paint job with a few small road chips and almost all of the chrome is new and looks excellent. I had a slider built for the driver’s seat so it can be adjusted. It is a six volt system and has radial tires that are like new. It has always been garaged.

Things I did not get to: back brakes need new seals and the transmission has a problem with 2nd gear slipping out at times.”

Always FOLLOW a Half Track . . .

Paul forwarded these pics to consider. The moral is, always follow a half track!

“Last Saturday I visited the local military vehicle show and I saw an amazing sight.  Among the various military trucks, Jeeps and one half track on display there was a Willys  M 38 which had suffered a bit of body damage when the previously mentioned half track didn’t quite stop soon enough.  I don’t know the reason for the meeting of these vehicles but the attached pictures show the results of contact between one very light and one very heavy military rig.  The poor M 38 got the worst of this bump but the half track also suffered when it received a scratch in the paint on the front drum.  Sad to see but I don’t believe anyone was hurt.”

Sebastian’s father spotted this jeep and share the picture with us. Note the extended rear.

He writes, “My dad spotted this nice 3B in Villavicenio, Meta (Colombia). It seems
to be used for work or daily drive, the yellow plate means is registered
as a regular car. The white top looks nice and goes well with the
tires. However, it seems a little larger than normal. It seems there is
a cat or a dog underneath.”
