1950 CJ-3A Sacramento, CA **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.

(011/17/2011) This appears solid.

“1950 Willy Overland Jeep CJ3A
The body is a little rough. It is a good hunting rig as is. The engine, transmission, transfer case and front end was all rebuilt about 10 years ago. This jeep has a 10 gallon aluminum gas tank in the back of the jeep. A metal plate has been welded into place where the tailgate once was. This unit is pretty rare because it has a stock high /low range gears on a 3 speed transmission, which means you actually have 6 forward and 2 reverse, not including when you put it into 4 wheel. All running gear is stock, engine is a flathead. This thing will climb just about anything. Since rebuild on running gear 10 years ago we have only put a cuople thousand miles on it. Notice the front picture behind the towbar! That is a Ramsey 12,000lb winch in excellent shape, you could hang this jeep in a tree with that winch. I installed a smaller winch cable since the jeep is so much lighter than the pickup it was intended for. The smaller winch cable allowed me to get more footage on the spool.”

Slat Grille By Cable in May 5, 1942, Life Magazine

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

I bought a cheap copy of the May 5, 1942, issue of Life Magazine off ebay the other day. In it I found these photos on page 8-11. It was a failed effort to slide a jeep across a river by cable.

Before I show a the hanging jeep, I wanted to share the photo below that shows some jeeps aboard a vessel of some sort.

1942-05-04-Life-Magazine-pg23Here’s the jeep by cable from pages 8-11. You can view the magazine on Google.
