(08/10/09) Here’s a very early CJ-3A with a serial number of # 12041

“1949 Willys Jeep-CJ 3A, 62,000 miles, PTO winch – tow bar – roll bar – warn locking hubs – half cab with doors, 4 cy Jeep engine – 6 volt system – This Jeep was purchased by my father in 1960 as a hunting vehicle. It has the original running gear with the exception of the engine which was changed several years ago. All gauges are functional. Diamond plating was added on lower sides of body and new steel panels to floor of cab. Seats have been re-done. It was originally white then painted blue then green. Although there are some small rust areas, it has been under cover all through his ownership as well as mine. Noel  360-521-4163 nsplawn@netzero.net”
