UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000
(05/20/2011) The seller mentions this might be an old fire jeep, but the seller has no evidence of this.
“This is a near perfect example of a 1950 CJ3A. I bought it in Fresno Ca (still has the black CA plates but also has clear AZ title and plates) now my Son says “no you can’t take the grandaughter in that” and my big old belly rubs the steering wheel. So I am looking for a Jeep Wrangler or Polaris Ranger or something even more stable. This jeep has 18,000 miles on it, the only modifications from stock are: conversion to 12 V, roll bar, bikini top, k&n Air filiter, 5 new tires/rims (have stock rims), tow bar in front. There is absolutely no rust on this jeep, has a plate covering the hole in the left front fender where the siren went. has one dent in the left rear fender well, no other significant body damage. I don’t know if there is a problem with the charging system or ? but when the battery is charged this thing runs like a singer sewing machine. Top speed is less than 50 MPH. The brakes suck. as with all old jeeps the front brakes have thier issues, they work (sometimes too well) and try to lock up the front tires. After I bought this I showed it to my cousin in Bakersfield who is a retired Kern county Fire Capt. He stated that many of the county fire departments had these old jeeps for small back country fires but that they really weren’t used much. This is the only reason this old a jeep could be in this good of a condition with this low of miles. She is a beauty with absolutely no rust.
I really thought this would be such a hoot to take my granddaughter four wheeling in but; The Son says no, so she’s got to go..”
