Willys Jeep L134 Engine $375 OBO Cranbury, NJ

Sold as is, so block, head, pan, looks like crank is in it.

Not much to go along with this so it’s a gamble for sure, L134 can be re-sleeved, Willa Dean has 4 new sleeves in it back to factory spec. Sometimes you need a few to make one.

Information from seller:

Take out Willys Jeep motor can be used in a CJ2A, CJ3A, Truck or Jeepster. Sold as is just as seen in the pictures. $375 or best offer.

1953 Willys Jeep – Auction

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

This is an interesting one – listed as a 1953, with potentially a Navy history (given the data plate). From an estate, but is running (supposedly a daily driver). Looks to have a later F-head engine swap (?)

Interesting hard top, maybe a winch, tire chains, tow bar, etc. – lots of potential goodies here. Will be interesting to watch this auction to see how much this goes for…

Video available on auction site as well (and seems to run quite well.)

1954 Model M38-CJ3A $3,500 Parrish, AL ESTATE SALE 7-10 to 7-12

Time sensitive on this one and it may not be there, but listed as a M38-A1, it might be a CJ3B with the spare on the side and the headlights look fancy, but it looks to have a full floating rear out back and the hoop deal on the side of the tub, if anyone goes let us know what you find here.

Information from seller:

This is part of an estate, so please see the blue photo.

1947 Willys Jeep $6,750 Goshen, OH

1947 Willys Jeep $6,750 Goshen, OH

So here is where I don’t do very well and why I always defer to the experts to correct and help me along to figure these out, with only 3 pictures posted and a short video I don’t have all the details for myself to determine if this is a CJ painted OD or if it is a M38. Post says they have several hoods, the hood could be in the mix since they have several. For a ’47 the grill looks earlier to me anyway for it to be a ’47 CJ Grill. I bet folks can tell a lot about the back shot with the fuel can area and tire mount. So I’m going with Willys Salad to be on the safe side on this for the following reasons and happy to adjust.

Here are things that lead me to think it’s a M38:

Rear Tire Mount vs side mount.

Windshield frame, looks like it had the lower mounted wipers.

Front Grill light cutouts.

Headlight Bezels look a little different to me.

Air cleaner and oil filter is much more robust looking to me. (Photo not posted it was a video in the post)

Here are things that lead me to think it’s a CJ:

Smaller filler for gas tank,

Missing some brackets and lights around the tub.

Hood says Willys on it.

Has the step on the side.

Conclusion:

Enjoy it, drive it, have fun for whatever it turns out to be, I like it, pretty solid rig looks well cared for so have a look if in the market.

As always feel free to inform me of how off base I am, always happy to learn about these rigs.

Information from seller:

Titled 47 Willy’s Jeep. Runs and drives. The tires are almost new military tires. Comes with lots of spare parts that I’ve kept over the years. I have a couple of extra hoods and a grill for it. If you would like more info and pics I can provide that to Serious Inquiries. I won’t respond to ” is this available”.

1953 Jeep CJ-V35U Willys $10,000 Gilbert, AZ

(I’m on the fence here on this one, it’s posted as a V35U but it looks to be missing a lot of things and I’m surprised by some others if they are correct, so leave this to the experts for some guidance, how was the radio stuff amphibious for example)
