I’m not familiar with the “Offroad Adventures” publication. Instead, as usual, I stumbled upon it while looking for something else. It’s a compact 2 pages article with a variety of pics of cjs accompanied by different hydraulic implements. I’m not a big fan of the myvirtualpaper’s interface, but the pics are still cool.

Reader’s Builds — Jeff’s Jewel’s Flat Fender
After seeing all the interest in stainless on the website, Jeff has kindly provided us with a couple of looks at his all Jewels Flattie. It’s not just the stainless that makes this look nice, but also the accents, such as the execution of the rear bumper design. With a full cage on the inside and a winch, this jeep is quite capable of playing in the sand, the trail or wherever he wants to take it.
Jeff notes below:
“This is my Semi stainless / galvanized jewels body kit mounted on a 1952 cj3a chassis. Currently powered by a chev 153 4cyl. I also own another complete kit that I have been collecting for the last 15 years. It appears there is a lot of interest in these stainless jeeps these days.”
1951 CJ-3A Sultan, Wa $4000
I’m not much of a fan of the roll bar, but otherwise this looks like a good CJ-3A with a few extra features.
“V8, No rust, always garaged and never 4*4 $4000.00 OBO taz21cd@msn.com”
Year? CJ-3A Hayward, CA **SOLD**
I thought this might be a DJ-3A. Instead, I think someone just hacked the sides of the body out on both the passenger and driver’s side.

1951 CJ-3A Westminster, MD **SOLD**
This sounds like a good jeeping drivetrain.

1949 CJ-3A Prescott, AZ **SOLD**
Looks like a pretty good price for what’s there. Maybe it even runs?
“All original 49 willys jeep ready for restoration. No major rust mostly surface. Oringinal flat head 4.”
1951 CJ-3A Gig Harbor, Wa $4200
UPDATE: this nice flattie is still available.
The Chevy 181 appears to be a 3.0 Liter Marine engine, which is likely a nice 4cyl for the jeep. This jeep is likely worth a closer look.
“1951 Willys Flatfender Jeep in great shape. Chevy 181 4 cylinder engine with a synchronized 3 speed transmission and split- stick transfer case. New 12.50 x 33 swampers with 410 gears and locker. 9,000 lb. Warn winch. $4200 (Best offer). For more information, please call (253) 208-6515 or (253) 884-8057”

“1951 Willys 4X4 Jeep Project. Solid body, Floors been replaced. No engine. Nice project”
1950 CJ-3A Flagstaff, Az $2500
Not to make fun of the paint job, but I really thought something was creating shadows over the jeep. Then, I looked at an interior pic and saw it had a strange camo paint job. I thought, ‘wait, that’s not on the outside of the jeep’. But, I was wrong, it is indeed some type of camo on the outside.
“1950 Willys Needs Title 4X4. Priced to sell at $2500 or best offer. I’ve had this for over a year… received it in a trade. New 327 engine. 205 Trasfer case. Dana 44.
