UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800.

This might be a good parts jeep.  The windshield and frame look good.

“NO TITLE. 1949-51 Willys Jeep CJ-3A. Last registered in 1988. According to the guy I bought it from, it was being used for pulling a brush hog (mowing) until recently and the last registered owner was in the West Texas (Abilene) area. Jeep is intact with good windshield, headlight bezels, grill, hood and other parts. Also, engine is dis-assembled but appears to be complete. It is a flathead 4 cyl. As you can see, all tires are on the vehicle and hold air; spare is also mounted on the side and appears that it is new, although weathered. Plenty of good parts available; transmission and transfer case; engine; front and rear axles; tow bar and rear step with trailer hitch, and a PTO. According to my internet research, this was specifically built as a farm use vehicle, hence the PTO and what appears to be a belt drive. I bought this from a friend who became disabled and needed the money, but I have too many other projects to take on this one at this time. Questions? e-mail me.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $950.

It appears complete, but probably has rust issues.

“this is a willy’s overland jeep (1950)-needs restored-engine turns over-bought new ignition parts last year but never finished getting it running-has some rust holes(not to bad)-i have original manuals(service and owners)-have fla title (owner signed) but not transferred-was last running in 2001.”

UPDATE: **SOLD**  Was $4500

(06/17/2010) It sure looks like there is light rust in some of the corners, but that might be an optical illusion.

“I may regret selling this because I know I will not find another CJ3a in such original, virtually rust free, unmolested condition. This is a numbers matching 1950 Willys Jeep CJ3A with Power Take OFF (PTO) and Koenig hardtop. Almost everthing on the Jeep appears to be original. Even the seats, seat covers, and seat springs all look like the original ones to me. The body is very straight, and virtually rust free, having only surface rust. Floors are solid as well. The frame is perfect, no cut places, or damage anywhere. The hard top is in excellent condition. I started the Jeep a year ago and it ran very well with no smoking. I drove it around and shifted through the gears no problem. I changed the oil and filter, trans oil, T-case oil, and differential oils. It does need all new brakes, master cylinder, and wheel cylinders to be safe to drive. The rear two wheels are original wheels, but the front two are not, so it will need two original wheels, or wheels of your choice if you restore. This Jeep was owned by a farmer in Pacolet SC for 40+ years, and I was told it was stored up in a barn for that time. This would be a very easy restoration. Search the country over and you will not find a survivor like this one, in this condition.”
