UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

This looks like a nice CJ-3A.

“1951 Willys Jeep CJ3A. This Jeep is an absolute blast to drive.

It underwent a comprehensive restoration several years ago and is in excellent condition.

There have been under 800 miles logged since its restoration.

This is a CJ3A, civilian model, with an original Flat head 4 cylinder, Willys/Jeep engine, 3 speed manual transmission and manual, dual range, 4 wheel drive.

It was restored to original, unmodified condition, with as many original parts as possible.

I have been in the classic car business for 30 years and have never seen one of these done this nicely.

This vehicle runs so well I would bet it could be driven anywhere, as long as you do not need to go over 50 or so mph.”

1950 CJ-3A Deadwood, SD ** Status Unknown**

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3A • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE:  Was on eBay. Status Unknown.

(09/29/2012) This solid looking CJ-3A looks like all it needs is a paint job to be a good looking jeep.  The nicely made half top out of boat material is very interesting too.  Whoever made those could probably sell a few — it is hard to find bikini tops for the early CJ’s, especially ones that fit so nicely.

“I bought this Willys from my uncle about 5 years ago. He used it in an apple orchard for many years to pull apple wagons so it went with out license tags for MANY years. It was only driven during apple harvest season so it got few miles usage each year. He and I both always stored it in the garage and never drove it in the winter. He had the engine overhauled about 9 years ago when he forgot to put oil in it during an oil change. When I got it the tranny and transfer case growled terrible do to many years with bad boots on the shift levers letting in water and dirt. I installed rebuilts about 5 yrs ago and it now runs very quietly. It is used as a summer putt around vehicle here in Deadwood SD so has been seen by MANY in this area. It purrs around nicely at speeds up to 50 mi/hr with out the typical WILLY WOBBLE. Driven mostly around mountainous terrain with out heat problems. (I had the radiator boiled out before I put it on the road 5 yrs ago). Lights and brakes work good. New windshield and windshield hinge gasket  2 yrs ago. New plastic under seat gas tank (same design as original). New gas sending unit which does not register correctly–I think it might be for a 12 volt. Other gages work fine. New speedo cable but speedo JUMPS when connected (Maybe the wrong drive gear was put in during rebuild). Emergency cable is missing but other parts including handle are included. Has warn lock outs in the front diff. It shows very little rust. The frame and floor are in good condition. The SURRY top(2 yrs old-made of boat cloth) and frame comes off very easily so windshield can be folded down.  This is a very nice little Willys which I am selling only because have another.”

This runs, but the closeup pics show this is rougher than it first appears.

“This 1951Willis is a running project. Just installed 4 new plugs yesterday-could still useplugs wires, dist. cap but parts house did not have in stock. They also did nothave a brake master cylinder and they were showing 2 different ones and bothwould have to be special ordered-so I am going to sell it like it is. We did aYouTube video of it and adjusted the clutch yesterday. Gas tank was removed-cleanedand sealed and soldered up some leaks. It also has an electric fuel pump.Starter just rebuilt and electrical system has been changed to 12 volt. Originallyit had a pedal on the floor to engage the starter but it’s gone and now has arod hooked to it to engage and disengage

I got this from a friend of mines wife after he passed away earlier this year. They usedit on their hunting land-but has been sitting for a few years and he owned itfor many years. It is not a rust bucketbut it does have some on the step braces. See pictures. Floors are very solid.I bought this with intention of using it as my 4 wheeler but have since gottenme one. I paid her $1,500 cash-and have spent apx $500 in used tires and rims, usedseats, fuel pump, paint, gas tank repairs, plugs and other assorted odd andends. My reserve is 1,800 and a buy me price of $2,200 to recover my money andsome of my time.

Alabama doesnot have title on anything of this age but I do have an open bill of sale and atag receipt where it was last registered in 2004.

He hadpainted it yellow and we repainted it with spray rustolium yellow paint andblack rustolium. The seats are just sitting in there and will need somemodification before it safely be used, (Do not know what happened to originalseats). I also have other seats you could use if you don’t like these. The right rear shock mount where is was welded to the axal is going to need rewelded.

Uncertian of the milage on this as it’s excempt when registerng here.

The 4 wheeldrive system works and hubs lock in and out easy. The windshield is flat glassand has a crack in it-I folded it down and installed a piece of foam rubberwhere it lies on the hood. Has a tow hitch on it and will hook up to a 2” ball.Tires are pretty good so you should be able to tow it to your place-or if youneed me to deliver I will do for $1.00 per mile but do not want to go over 200miles. I will be going to N/East Tennessee in about 2 weeks and have a way to deliver.

I forgot to get some pictures of the motor I will do that soon and add them. If you need any other pictures let me know. Thanks Pat

1951 CJ-3A Clearfield, UT **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3A • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500

(10/05/2012) This hasn’t been driven since 1985.  However, it has been garaged since then.  The body is supposed to be solid.  This may be worth a look.

“Classic Willys CJ-3A. This jeep has been in my family since the 1960’s. It was hauled from California to Idaho in the late 1990’s where it has been garaged until I recently brought it down to Clearfield to sell it. It has never seen a Utah "salty-road" winter, so the body and frame do not have the rust that you see on typical Utah Jeeps that are 30-40 years newer (body, floor, and frame are solid). I put in a running 289 engine (V8 out of a Rancho) with 302 heads (bored and ported) in it back in 1988 along with a new clutch and throwout bearing, but I remain time-challenged, so it remains unrestored. The mileage noted is actual for the entire jeep (with the exception of the engine). The last time this jeep was driven was 1985. The last time I started the engine was 1989.In addition to the upgraded engine, it comes with a roll bar, custom bumpers (front & back) with a tow hitch on the front, and (2) five gallon Jerry Cans. I will also throw in the full roll cage (custom bent for this jeep with heavy piping, but not assembled) along with a set of 4 tires and rims from a 1968 CJ5 (tires still have good tread). It has been a dream of mine since the mid-80’s to restore this jeep, but alas, we purchased running CJ5 for my son to use, thus we are looking for a good home for the 3-A where it can be restored to its former glory. I am asking $1,500 O.B.O. with the extra set of tires and rims or $1,200 without.”

1951 CJ-3A Falkville, AL **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3A, Fire/Police/Industry Vehicles This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3200.

This is an ex-United Airlines jeep with a brass plaque still attached. It might be an interesting restoration if some early pictures can be found.

“This is a 1951 Willys Jeep with a 1946 windshield. The jeep was used by United Airlines to pull luggage carts and still has a brass plate on the dash with United Airlines and the vehicle number on it. Because of it’s use it only shows 6,823 miles on the odometer. I have no way of knowing if this is actual miles but have no reason for believing that it is not. When I put new tires on the Jeep last year the old tires looked new as far as wear but were dry rotted. The jeep was painted 3 years ago after any rusty areas were repaired with fiberglass resin and fiberglass matt. The repairs were not fixed with bondo. The vehicle is for fun and not for show. I have grandsons from age 4 to age 25 and some of them learned to drive a straight shift in this jeep. The paint job is not perfect by a long shot. The jeep is near perfect mechanically including transmission, rear end, transfer case, 4 wheel drive, steering, and brakes. Brakes were rebuilt this year. Motor cranks every time, does not smoke, and has always been dependable. Jeep has an antique tag and is road worthy. If you are looking for a Jeep that is mechanically sound, dependable and a lot of fun this may be it. Is mostly original except it is painted and has decals as a military jeep but it was not. The seats are mustang seats covered by me.”
