UPDATE:  Price dropped to $6000

(05/09/2011) This looks nice.

“1952 Willys CJ3A – frame off restoration over the past couple years…completely new steel body with dura-lined interior…new windshield…new wiring harness…painted frame…new exhaust system…new tires…new gas tank…new gauges…new brakes…new emergency brake cable…and a bunch of other parts. Lots of receipts…no rust of any kind…hasn’t seen rain, mud, or snow since the restoration…still needs a few details like a rear view mirror or seat belts if you want to install them (didn’t come with them). Willys Go-Devil 134ci flat head four engine…3 speed tranny…twin stick transfer case…Warn hubs. Runs well, shifts well, and the 4wd works. Clean MA title in hand. I’ve got too many projects and not enough time or space”
