Looks like the engine was neatly installed.

“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.

Has a variety of updates that would make it a good road and trailer jeep.

“Hazzard Fabworx of Spokane has reworked the suspension, power steering, changed out all the fluids, battery, serviced the diffs/transmission/transfer case/overdrive, swapped in disc brakes all around (‘94 Geo Tracker) and installed lap seat belts.

It has an “odd fire” V6 motor, Dana 30 front/Dana 44 rear both with 4.27 gears, T90 3-speed transmission, Dana 18 transfer case and a Warn overdrive. I will say the original overdrive was a Warn but the owner before me had it rebuilt by Herm The Overdrive Guy in Washington, so it’s physically a Husky case now. It also has a Warn 4500 lb winch mounted on the front.

The odometer reads 30k and change. The thing still runs and drives great. It doesn’t burn oil and still has the original VIN plate. The story I got when I bought it was that it was a forestry service jeep in Oregon, hence the decals.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9599.

The tires sure look early. This has some EasyLok hubs. The front bumper has been replaced.

“$9599.00 FIRM lots of new parts,runs good. Need”

Probably has some bondo on the body (drain holes are filled).

Has an F-head.

“1949 Willy’s Jeep. I don’t know a lot about this one other than it runs and drives. It has leaks. It’s 4×4. It’s a manual transmission. It has an altimeter which probably means it was for military purposes when built. Was used on the ranch for fencing purposes. Has a title. No doors. No hard top. What you see is what you get. No trades.”
