UPDATE: Still Available.

(03/14/2015) It’s a project. Body is fiberglass.

“Selling my CJ3A project. It is coming down the home stretch for completion but my interests have changed. It is listed as a 1951 but there is hardly any of the original parts left on it. Below is the list of modifications made to improve it’s abilities. The goal was to make this a trail ready Jeep for weekends. It runs and drives well.

-Front and Rear Dana 44s (like a Rubicon)-both completely rebuilt, front has disc brakes
-4.88 gears with Detroit Locker/TruTrack
-Engine is Buick 4.1L Even Fire w. a 4 barrel Quadrajet carb
-Transmission is a TH350 w. Advanced Adapter to mount the original D18 transfer case
-B & M Shifter
-Full Pre-Bent DOM Roll Cage (http://extremecustomparts.com/i-6292281-cj-willys-jeep-full-roll-cage-kit-cj2-cj2a-free-shipping.html)
-Power Steering Conversion
-Rear mounted gas tank from a postal Jeep, to get it out of the cab
-Suspension is Rubicon Express 2.5″ Wrangler Leaf springs(longer and wider than stock, better ride)
-Fiberglass Body = No Rust
-Has a new NOS BestTop Tiger Top
-35″ Super Swamper Truxxus M/T tires (like new) on alloy wheels

What it needs:
-The roll cage needs to be finished. It is prebent, just needs welding.
-The electrical harness is out of 60s CJ5. The taillights and turn signals (included) need to be connected.
-Paint it the color of your choice.

Looking for $6800 or interesting diesel/crew cab trades.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** was $8500.

Sure, it’s in good shape, but I don’t think the market will support the price.

“1977 right hand drive custom mail Jeep. Truck was given a complete makeover just a little over a year ago. Plumb Crazy Purple with painted hotrod flames. Interior was completely bedlined and dodge caravan seats added for comfort. All new rubber on all windows with tint and new windshield. Body was completely blasted to bare metal.

Our welcome to Uncorked’s Bed and Breakfast

We didn’t have much driving to do today, but we still managed to use up the time we had.

2015-04-30-llano-fredericksburg

Thursday morning we met with Texas Justice, or more accurately with the Justice of the Peace in Llano County (the name is pronounced ‘lah-no’). Normally, we get hauled into court, but this time we went of our own volition to meet with Brian Alexander. Brian’s been interested in jeeps since he was a kid working at his uncle’s camp, a long stone’s throw from downtown Llano. He remembered the camp owning an early column shift CJ-2A, but then they switched over to floor-shift models.

Eventually Brian moved to Odessa, where he enjoyed a career in law enforcement, before moving back to Llano and winning election and re-elections as Justice of the Peace. Along the way Brian, always a military buff, got involved in reenactments and WWII history. For years Brian was interested in owning a jeep, but the stars didn’t align until a 1951 CJ-3A fell into his lap. It needed some work, so he’s been rebuilding it. The project is nearly done. When finished, he plans on selling it and getting what he’d really like, an MB or GPW (well, and a M-38, and a M-38a1 — why just have one, right?).

Brian seems to have a good knack for details, so I suspect that once he buys an MB or GPW, he’ll end up restoring it, because not having the correct steering wheel or some other detail will gnaw on him until he has it right (Brian, that’s my prediction 🙂 ).

We had a real nice time talking with Brian about jeeps and about his interests beyond four-wheel-drive, so we thank him for his time. Also, Ann and I need to apologize to the people of Llano County for bringing the wheels of justice to a halt at least for a couple hours Thursday morning.

How to Identify VEC CJ-2As

May 1, 2015 • CATEGORIES: Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

I wrote up an article last month on how to identify VEC CJ-2As. It’s a general starter guide for people unsure of how to tell the difference between an early 2A and a later one. Or put more accurately, they are the strategies I use.

http://sellajeep.com/articles/vec-cj2a/vec-cj2a-identify.html

Naturally, after completing and sending said essay to Mark Smith, I subsequently learned that the VEC body issue is even more complicated than I understood it to be.  The reason has to do with Willys-Overland’s knack for randomly (probably random anyway) installing some early jeeps with tool-indent bodies, while using non-tool-indent bodies on other jeeps. The assemblers probably just used what bodies they had on hand. That’s why it is also important to track the body’s ACM number. Sean explains to we-who-thought-we-knew-what-we-were-talking-about the issue here: http://www.ewillys.com/2015/04/21/1946-cj-2a-springfield-mo-2950/#comments.
