Egon’s recently restored CJ-3A

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

When I last heard from Egon in early 2010, he was considering mounting a flat fender body onto his CJ-5.  However, during the intervening months he had the opportunity to purchase a mostly restored CJ-3A, which was originally brought to Europe for the Swiss Army.

The body on this flattie was replaced about 12 years ago, while the transmission and engine are original to the Jeep.  He spent time this year finishing the project, adding a roll bar, new rims and new tires.   He plans to use his new toy to hunt and explore in and around his Liechtenstein countryside.

I’ve also included a couple pics Egon sent me about a recent hunting trip to Russia where he spent time with some friends.  In his email about the trip, he mentions the All-Wheel-Drive Niva, about which I was unfamiliar;  So, I researched the Niva, which lead to this post.  He notes that the Niva functions well on the Russian terrain of Kirov, however it is a little small for a hunter and all his gear.

A reader purchased this deal.

“My wife says I have too many toys! I bought this to restore and play with and I have never gotten to it. It is stored inside I bled the breaks but they probably need a break job to be dependable. Starts and runs great. Motor really purrs. It’s in nice shape for how old it is. Sure would be fun to fix up or restore like new or play as is. Come take a look .”

Year? CJ-3B Tippecanoe, OH **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Auctioned.

There are a couple interesting issues with this CJ-3B.  First, note the unusual windshield, which almost appears chopped down.  Second, note the fenders; These just don’t look quite right.  I’m even wondering if they are plywood?

The image below does provide a pretty good shot of that left front frame rail and it looks pretty clean, suggesting the frame is in really good shape.  The body also looks pretty straight, which adds to my confusion about the fenders.
