UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9000. .

“For your consideration the beautiful 1951 Willys CJ3a jeep. This is essentially grandpa’s favorite..little red rig. This jeep has been garage kept and taken care of for most of it’s life ..was in pretty decent shape before the restoration was done on it. Been about 15 years now so it’s showing it’s age a little bit but is very presentable and overall very nice

The jeep has its original 134 four-cylinder engine and T 90 three speed transmission. both units have been rebuilt and run excellent there is no smoking or unusual noises from the engine. The transmission and clutch shift fine in the work as new. Suspension had new leaf springs installed as well as brakes over all. Tires are new ….jeep runs and drives as it should. Continue reading →

(04/27/2019) Has some hat channel rust.

“51 CJ3a. Fully running. Lots of new mechanical stuff. New starter, fuel pump, water pump, carb, fuel tank, lines, radial tires, clutch, was told the motor was rebuilt 800 miles ago. Ive done nothing to the tranny. Body is good from 20 feet away, rust through is very minimal. the only rust through that I am aware of is in the pic below. Top is workable, windows are very stiff. I can recommend a shipper that will pick up in my area. Includes towbar, 17/8 ball needed.”

UPDATE: Still Available.

“Ford 289 CID V8, four speed manual transmission, 4WD, power steering, front disc brakes, seat belts, new seats. Solid frame. Body in fair condition. The engine runs strong and has good oil pressure.
Rebuilt front axle with all new bearings, seals, and rebuilt locking hubs. Complete rebuild of rear axle with new locking center section, bearings and seals. New front brakes with new rotors, calipers, wheel bearings and disc pads. New rear brakes, lines and wheel cylinders. New master cylinder. New oil pan and pickup tube/screen, gaskets and seals. Distributor replaced. Just tuned-up including new MSD plug wires. Several coats of bed-liner inside body tub. New alternator.
It needs new seals in the transfer case, the shifter adjusted or replaced (sometimes shifter sticks), and the tires are old.
As-is, no warranty. Due to the age of the tires, it will need to be trailered home if you are going more than one mile. No trades.”

Not sure how much value is here.

“Willys CJ3A, parts only, no title. Transmission is free as well as the transfer case. Frame looks good, tub is junk, engine is froze. $500 or best offer.”

This Navy issued CJ-3A looks to be a good price.

“Up for sale is my 1951 CJ3A with the coveted Warn overdrive. The United States Navy originally took delivery of this Willys in December of 1951. All information is listed on a brass dash plaque right next to the standard information plaque. It has the original 134 “Go Devil” L-head motor with good oil pressure, T-90 trans with Warn Overdrive, Dana 18 transfer case, Dana 25 front axle, Dana 44 rear and 15″ steel wheels. This vehicle starts, runs, drives and stops. The carb, locking hubs, and wheel cylinders have been replaced. I have had this Willys in storage for 4 years waiting for the time when I could restore it. Time and 4 other Jeeps is proving that may never happen so it needs a new home.
