1951 CJ-3A Sisters, OR $16,500

UPDATE II: Price dropped to $16,500.

UPDATE: This was for sale in Fresno. It is now for sale in Sisters, Oregon. I suspect the seller is a new owner and is now reselling it, given the limited description. Note that the plates in the pics from the 2023 ad and present ad are the same.

==========================

(Previous comments, description and pics from 10/2023): This is a classic Fresno-area build with the oversize glass in the windshield, the doors, and more. It may include a soft top. I see no evidence it includes a Muller top.

Very clean Jeep CJ3a, 2nd owner, owned by the seller over 50 yrs.
SBC 350, Turbo 400, Spicer 18 transfer case, Warn overdrive 25%,
Dana 30 front, fresh Dana 44 rear
(new bearings, gears and LSD), Warn winch, big brakes, clean paint, good tires, and new dual fuel tanks. Upholstery and carpet is 4 yrs old with very little use.
Can be seen by appointment in Fresno CA.
You don’t see many like this one for sale. Odometer just rolled over last week, perfect starting point for the new owner”

    Looks like another but without the Muller. I’m sure it had to be the same shop doing them. Jim Sparks who that had mine before 1973 and Butch Blair who bought it in 73 both mentioned Charley Krikorian and Bill Arbuckle from Fresno doing these mods.

    Todd,

    Yep, I think you are right about the snaps and Muller top. I missed that.
    I actually own the frame from an original Muller top that I got from a reader outside of Clovis. I plan to rebuild one.

    Thanks again for that bit of history. I appreciate it!

    – Dave
