UPDATE:  Price dropped to $2000

(06/10/2011) The tailgate appears to have been patched with a sheet of metal.

“This jeep is in good condition for its year, no rust. The motor smokes a little and should be rebuilt. The frame is good.”

UPDATE: Was $1500. **SOLD**

It looks pretty complete.  I’m having a hard time assessing condition.

“1949 willys cj jeep needs restored or just fix the engine and drive the price is firm and no trades.”

No pics provided.

“Complete with extra hood and aluminum doors and 2 extra tires. Lost my job and need the money. Yes it is rusty and most paint is wore off. Was running last summer. This is a project and has no title. This jeep came from Tennesee farm and was never ever titled because TN didn’t require titles. I can help deliver a resonable distance. The price is not negocable. I will have some photos if needed. Will go thru email first. Randy 317-590-0578”

(03/24/2011) Here is a project that appears pretty solid. Is the windshield missing arms? How is it staying vertical?  The seller does a nice job of explaining the situation.

“Up for sale is a Willys CJ3A (mostly). The engine numbers put it at a 1949 CJ3A. I picked this up with great intentions, but my CJ2A has been taking all of my time and it is now time for someone else to make use of this. Some good modifications were done and some good body work – it will however require re-wiring (pretty simple on these) and some TLC. I got it running with a battery and putting gas in the carb before I brought it home and have done absolutely nothing with it since that day. This would make a great start to a rock crawler or just a cool toy to run around town in.

Engine: L134 (period correct at least, but I believe it is original) I had it running a couple of years ago and it idled smooth and ran strong.

Transmission: Unknown – haven’t driven it but it shifts through all gears.

Transfer case: Unknown – see above

Body: Good condition (actually great for the year) little to no rust that I’ve seen. Hat channels were replaced with angle iron (well done) and the body was skimmed with bondo – which is cracking in several places.

Other: Spring over axle conversion was done for lift. May need to re-evaluate the angels that were used.

Being sold as a project only as is – where is. Will need a trailer to haul. $1400 OBO”

UPDATE: Was $1250. **SOLD**

It even ran when parked … 8 years ago.
