1956 DJ-3A/CJ State College, PA Make Offer

• CATEGORIES: CJ5, DJ-3A This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Looks like a 1956 DJ-3A body on a CJ-5 chassis (not how the frame is little longer than the body).

“Looking for offers. I have a Willys Jeep titled a 1956 but I’m told it’s earlier than that. This jeep runs and drives. Frame is good and body is good except for some welded patches. Also selling a 1968 fiberglass body, a 1978 CJ5 and a 1978 Bronco Custom. Trying to thin the herd for 2021. Again, looking for offers on one or all. If I recieve good offers they’ll sell… if not, I’ll have them restored”

There is major rust and rot on the 2 main support beams of the body where it was cut. Please look at the pictures closely and ask questions you might have before you bid. If you are proficient in welding and sheet metal repair, you might could repair the body. If not, this can be a donor Mutt for replacement parts you might need. Complete powerpack is included and the motor turns freely. Included in the auction is a battery pan ($120), a full replacement underbody repair kit ($700), (but this does not include the main beams replacement), engine gasket kit ($80) and rubber boot kit ($30).

1949 Ad for the Universal Jeep

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

What I found curious about this advertisement is that it sounds more like one from 1945 or 1946, rather than 1949. Published January 23, 1949, the ad by Fort Worth Willys-Overland seems to be trying to introduce readers to this ‘new concept’ of an automobile. However, it does so without invoking the four-in-one-vehicle concept used in the early years. Had Fort Worth Star-Telegram readers never seen or heard of a civilian jeep?
