1950 CJ-3A Glendale, AZ **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: News • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5100

(03/24/2012) The engine needs some work.

“I’m selling my 1950 Jeep Willys CJ-3A. It’s been in the family for quite a few years. I’ve personally owned the vehicle since 2006.

The Jeep Runs and drive but it doesn’t drive too good because the motor needs tuned up, and the clutch needs fixed as you will see from the description below.
The Jeep needs quite a lot of work.
1. The engine needs a tune up, new spark plugs, etc. The timing is off a little.
2. Engine is overheating, it just shuts off when it gets too hot, but the head gasket is NOT blown.
3. Something is wrong with the clutch could be any component such as the linkage, pressure plate, etc. I have no clue what the source of the problem is.
4. Probably needs new gaskets for the differentials and the transfer case because there is a tiny leak of gear oil now and then.
5. Gas tank has a leak somewhere but you can’t actually visibly see gas leaking from the tank and dropping onto the ground.
6. Speedometer and odometer do not work.
7. The front end possibly needs rebuilt, a family member told me this by looking at it.
8. I believe these are all of the problems, but I’m not a mechanic, so I don’t know for certain.
Please remember this is an older vehicle, and everything on it is obviously old and not in perfect, ideal operating condition. The Jeep drives and handles quite well considering the fact that it is a 4×4 and a rugged stout Jeep.

4 WHEEL DRIVE WORKS, transfer case engages, hubs lock in, etc.

The motor is not original. It is a V6 from a 1973 Mercury Capri, and it has a Motorcraft two barrel carburetor. It also has a few new parts, nothing really major just little parts here and there such as a new electric fuel pump, new ignition coil.
DUAL EXHAUSTS WITH GLASSPACK MUFFLERS!! IT DOESN’T SOUND TOO BAD!!!
Tires are 33×12.5 BFG all terrains in the back, the two tires in front are just generic all terrains. Tires are older, but they are in good condition and have a lot of tread left on them.
American Racing Wheels.
Bucket Seats up front, bench in the back.
4-point racing harnesses for front bucket seats.

Body is in great condition, but not perfect. No Bondo or any hack jobs.

Full size mounted and balanced spare tire that is pretty old, and four new shocks go with the vehicle.
I would love for this Jeep to go to somebody who wants to own an awesome, one of a kind American made vehicle.
Clean Arizona title. It is ready to sell right now! THE Jeep is not currently registered.
$5100.00 OR BEST OFFER.
Please make me a fair offer. ALL REASONABLE OFFERS WILL DEFINITELY BE CONSIDERED. HIGHLY MOTIVATED SELLER!!!!”

1967(?) DJ-3A Milwaukee, Wi $500

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

No pics provided.  I believe the latest known production date for a DJ-3A is 1965, so not sure what this is.  Given the seller thinks the engine is a ‘1945 CJ3A’, it will takes some pics to sort this out.

“I have a 1967 DJ3A that needs to go, it was a project that never got done so it’s in pieces thats why I am selling as parts. ALL must go in one lot, this was the standard 2wd version with a flat head. I also have the drive train minus the engine of a 45 CJ3A. Sorry I do not have pictures to share right now”

• CATEGORIES: Event, Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

The Great Willys Picnic Show and Swap Meet:  learn more here http://www.cj3a.info/picnic/

June 10, 2012 from 9 am – 4 pm at the Wanamaker, Kempton & Southern Railroad, located in Kempton, Pennsylvania

It’s time to plan for the 13th annual Great Willys Picnic, Car Show and Swap Meet. All vehicles are welcome: stock, modified, projects, CJs, Wagons, Trucks, Jeepsters, Military, Cars and even GPWs! Every pre-1970 Willys vehicle is eligible to win door prizes. This show has grown into the largest Northeast Willys event. Over 45 vehicles and hundreds of enthusiasts were present at last year’s picnic. There is plenty of space for selling your spare parts in the swap meet area. Bring your Willys memorabilia and interesting parts for show and tell. Be sure to arrive early because at 3:00 PM the door prize winners are announced and awarded. Bring your own picnic lunch or purchase food at the refreshment stand.

The Picnic will be held on the grounds of the Wanamaker, Kempton & Southern Railroad located in the scenic village of Kempton, Pennsylvania. This is a great setting to display our classic Willys vehicles, as well as entertainment for the entire family. Also on-site is the Schuykill & Lehigh Model Railroad Club’s HO model train display.

As always the Willys Picnic, Show and Swap is free. Plan to take the optional train ride for a very reasonable fee.

1941? Flattie Pacific Beach, Ca $4800

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A, MB This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

The fact that this body has a drain hole by the step, but no gas inlet is a little puzzling.  It has full floaters in the rear, but also has a tail gate.  The windshield is CJ-2A. The hood and fenders are civilian, while the grille is ww2.  This appears to be a mutt of a jeep to me.

“1941 Jeep Willys… The world war two 4×4 original ! Engine was rebuilt less than 500 miles ago and have documentation for rebuild…
It is a very cool ride to have. Had it sitting for a few years in storage( inside)
It has an electric fuel pump but still has all original equipment too.
Runs good and needs to be registered if you plan on driving on the street…
It has the original Tire setup also….. a true piece of history you can drive and show off.
Paint is worn a bit but virtually no rust….
Ive posted pics for you to see, havent even washed it ! lol It has a TOW bar so you can pull behind RV or Truck…
Needs a battery and thats all !
Only serious buyers ! no Low-ballers….. remember, this is a piece of American History”

1947 CJ-2A Pueblo, Co **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000

This needs a motor.

“Up for sale is my super cool 1947 Willys CJ2A. First off, it does need an engine and is currently not running, but won’t be too expensive to get it going. It’s got a Chevy 350 V8 with a SM420 4 spd manual transmission with granny gear. Dana 20 transfer case, Dana 44 rear diff with welded spiders and stock front diff. Has new Warn hubs on all 4 wheels for flat tow and includes a tow bar. Tub and floor is coated with Truck bed coating. Tires are brand new 33x1250x15 Mastercraft Courser M/T mudders and have maybe 200 miles on them if even that much. Chevy 350 engines are easy to find and can usually be bought in running condition for $500 or less. This Willys has a fiberglass hood, but I also have 2 original steel hoods for an extra $200. Has electric fuel pump, new tailgate, good windshield. I’ve even done the body work and shot it in primer. I never did shoot paint on it becasue I thought it looked cool in primer. Has brand new racing seats mounted on steel brackets. This is a cool rig and has been lots of fun for me but I need to make room for other projects. If interested, give me a call or email me through Craigslist. Please don’t bother me with spam or trying to scam me. I won’t fall for that crap. I would consider offers and am willing to sell without the new tires and wheels for $1600. Not willing to part this rig out. I may consider trades, just let me know what you have. Please don’t offer me junk.”

1955 CJ-3B Battlement Mesa, Co $25,000

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

I’d like some bigger pics.

“One of a kind, very rare, the ultimate show jeep but built to crawl. This jeep is brand new from the ground up. Original 1955 cj-3b body on cj-5 frame. Built AMC 304 (tons of torque), Automatic 3 speed w/chetta speed shifter, high stall torque converter, wrapped headers with dual exhaust, remote transmission cooler. 35-10.5-15 micki thompsons on American racing rims, custom center console with all new gauges, split shift dana to control front and rear diffs indepently. It has less than 1000 miles on this beast (still has the fuzzies on theU tires). Drives straight down the road at 65 mph. This jeep was built to show and has never even seen a dirt road. I have all the sponsor sheets from the previous owner. The jeep was appraised in July 2011 (for insurance) and received 100 out of 100 points at $35,000. I have the original build sheets showing over $20k in parts alone, not including the parts I have added. Search the internet and you will not find another of this type that even comes close. No reasonable offer will be refused. I hate to see it go because I know I will not own another vehicle of this caliber. I can’t take it anywhere without someone asking for a picture. Nothing has been untouched. This vehicle is insured through state farm for the full 35k, they would not do this unless they knew it was truly worth every penny. 25,000 obo. or possible trade for newer, low mileage Toyota Tacoma or 4door rubicon.

A couple small tears in the back, but otherwise look good.

(11/06/08) I’m really surprised that a jeep like this doesn’t have a roll bar or a cage, given the extras it does have.  It’s also rare to see one with four terra tires on it, though the left front one looks a bit low.  Given the body is rough, I suspect the price will drop.

Rob forwarded me the jeep below.  It’s an odd melding of a CJ-2A and a Wagon.  I’d love to get a closer look to see how various problems were solved.

This jeep is one of several jeeps in different conditions being auctioned, though nothing is in amazing condition.  Tools and other vehicles will also be auctioned, including a deuce and a half that looks to me (not being an expert) in very good condition.
