Builds — Jim’s 1951 CJ-3A Makeover
Jiim writes, “Ironically, was already sort of OD green when I got it. That nasty bench seat weighed about 250 lbs when I pulled it out, kept thinking it was still bolted in somewhere, nope, just that heavy…”

1952 CJ-3A Decatur, GA **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000
I don’t think the pictures quite do this justice. Newer tires would help and finishing the restoration (parking lights for example) would help this CJ-3A.
“Massive restoration. This is the original body which has been removed from the frame, restored with zinc alloy body fill then zinc coated to prevent future rusting. Newly painted a vibrant pearl orange. The interior is done in rugged black bedliner. All seats reupholstered in a nice black vinyl. Includes the rare back seat. Black Besttop Soft Top included. New wiring harness. Warn Winch included. Two sets of wheels. One set of matching orange wheels with radials and one set of black wheels with NDT non-directional tires (old style military). Well documented restoration. See my ad on autotrader for larger pictures”
1950 CJ-3A Oxford Jct, IA **SOLD**
Here’s a running CJ-3A for only $1000. Yeah, looks like it needs some work.
“for sale is my 1950 willys jeep this is a great old jeep that runs and drives very good has brand new military tires tires are $500 alone the jeep does need some brake work”
1953 CJ-3A West Hills, Ca eBay
“Willys is in good shape with great running motor. Motor has Willys stamp on head, however I’m not sure if it is the original. Has an aftermarket carb, I do have original for new owner to install. Drives great and idles fine. Shifts smooth through all gears. Good power for a small flat four. Electrical has been converted to 12 volt by a past owner. Everything seems original except for the hood. I think that is an aftermarket steel hood with the Willys logo painted on. Small leak coming from front seal on the diff. Nothing major. No other leaks or issues…..”
1951 CJ-3A Stanfield, Or $2000
I need a better look at the body, but this might restore pretty well.
“1951 Jeep CJ3a. New flat head engine, new 11″ brakes and new battery. Needless to say, it runs and drives great! The little girl needs a new loving home. $2000, Mike 541-667-7237. Please call, I have limited access to the internet.”
Builds — Oklahoma Green and One Bad Apple
I was searching for an image of original CJ-3A gauges when i stumbled upon this article. Both of these are well modified, good looking road and trail jeeps. One of the more interesting features of the ‘Oklahoma Green’ Jeep is the number of gauges that are installed. One Bad Apple certainly has an usual paint job.
Here’s 2 excerpts from an Off Road Adventures Article; each one discuss a little bit about each jeep:
Oklahoma Green: “… Below the CJ3A Willys’ windshield is a dashboard that would be more than adequate in a J3 Super Cub airplane of the same vintage. The aircraft-like dash sports a full compliment of gauges: fuel, fuel pressure, oil pressure, oil temp, water temp, vacuum, and air pressure gauges along with a voltmeter, hourmeter, and altimeter by Hobbs. A Lev-O-Gauge rounds out the impressive array. Lights and buzzers backup the critical gages. From the dash, Ken can switch on the fuel pump, fast idle solenoid, headlights, heater, and winch. Indicator lights report the status of 4WD, seat belts, ARB, emergency brake, and air compressor…. ”
One Bad Apple: “… The frame was lengthened 6-inches to incorporate a GM 4.3 V6 CMFI 195 hp at 4500 rpm engine with K&N Air Cleaner and Painless Wiring, a GM 700R4 with a manual shift kit, and a Dana 300 transfer case with CV driveshaft. With 4.88 gears, the final crawl ratio is 80:1. The front axle is a Dana 30 with an ARB Air Locker and disk brakes. The rear axle is a Dana 44 with a Detroit Locker. Four-inch lift springs, an off-road track bar, and Rancho 5000 Shocks control 33×12.50 BFG Mud Terrain T/As …..”
