UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2450.

“This 3A is almost done. It is not a complete restoration but a nice little Willys for parades or driving around town. I was going to put a set of NDCC tires on it and let it be but I have decided I have to many other projects so this one is going up for sale. I’ve had the Jeep since last August. I’ve put a new battery in it, plugs, wires, cap & rotor button, new front brake lines, new shocks, gas pedal, & headlights. It does still need the exhaust finished, a rear brake line and a wire replaced between the amp gauge and the key switch. I drive it around every once and a while just to keep it in running order. The electrical system is still 6V. Feel free to email me or call me with any questions.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.

This CJ-3A looks in decent condition.  Strangely, it’s got both passenger and driver side spare tire holders.

“Lost my deer lease, selling my 49 Willys Jeep CJ3A, only 235 miles on new (not rebuilt) transmission/transfer case, new drive shafts, new front axle, new fuel tank, steering parts, Solex carburetor, OEM Jeep seat frames/cushions, 12 volt system, professionally rebuilt rear axle, tow bar, bikini top, rebuildable transmission/transfer case included. Excellent deer lease jeep, starts and runs good, very dependable.”

Despite the seller’s assurances, I’m quite sure this isn’t a CJ-3B, lol.  It appears in good shape though.

“1951 Willys  model CJ3B odometer says 55566 it is probably correct, but we could not verify the actual mileage. Runs great looks great… a real head turner, Military look,  could use minor interior detailing and reconditioning but is a complete working  CJ3B and fine example for a vehicle of this age. Any questions or additional pictures needed please call me at 978-682-3200”

Update:  Well, not so fast.  I thought this was sold on eBay, but the deal must have fallen through.  Now it’s back on eBay.

This appeared to sell on ebay for $9100 last month.  The seller was asking $7500 on craigslist.

Restored CJ-3A with a few upgrades plus a Bantam trailer.

This is an interesting jeep with a variety of upgrades, including a ’45 (MB?) body on a 70’s CJ frame and running gear.  Someone knew what they were doing.  Given the upgrades, this price would be hard to beat if you had to built it yourself.  I hadn’t heard of the Hyrdrovac brake system.

“Custom 1951 CJ. Stretched 45 body on a 70’s CJ5 frame. 4 speed with granny low.
Dual stick transfer case with 2 wheel low option.  Ford 300 in-line 6. Dana 30 front axle with disc brakes. Dana 44 rear – full floating with locking hubs for flat towing. 33″ tire with like new tread. 8000# Warn winch. power brakes – hydrovac system. Brakes continue to work when the engine stalls. Much better set-up than standard power brakes. Tool boxes built into rear fenders (hidden & stock) …. Text or call 619-813-2600 or Email fatboy@sdccu.net”

The body looks like it’s seen some good work.  The grille lights are unique.
