UPDATE: The winning bid was $3600, which surprises me a bit given the rotted tires and top and the dented body.
“1951 Willys Jeep w/ 4 wheel drive. I am told it is a CJ3A ?? This is Barn fresh. Stored away for years!! The body is in good condition. Some dents and dings. Was hit in the left rear quarter at sometime. There is no cancer. The floors are great!! No dents in the tailgate or the floor. Motor is free. Turns over. The gas is old. Tires are dry rotted. This is a great one to restore. This is for pickup only!”
I don’t thing it’s too bad, considering how rust free the body it. A new Willys-Overland “repro tub” costs nearly that much and in many cases does not fit properly.
