Doesn’t look all that ugly to me.

“I have decided to part with my stock workhorse driver 3A. This is a great “drive-it-like-it-is” rig or a perfect candidate for a body tub kit.

It’s ugly but a very solid driver. Most of the work you usually have to do when you drag home an old Jeep has been done.

I routinely drive this Jeep on 150+ mile day trips without issues. It’s seen off-roading adventures at the NH Trail Ride and Rausch Creek, PA. Used but not abused.

The Saturn overdrive allows easy cruising speeds of 55 mph or better. I pulled the original 3A motor and replaced with fresher, stronger MB motor out of a genset. I will include the original motor with the sale if you want it. I will also include a fully functioning period correct Scheneker snowplow with Hy-Lo pump, a worn but functional vinyl BestTop and doors, and a bolt on roll bar.

Probably has an f-head.

“4 Cyl. 12volt. Warn model-8274 Winch. Biminy top. Have frame and doors for full enclosure top.

Runs strong.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,500

A reader shared this nice looking 3A. It’s got a few updates.

“I redid this Jeep a few years ago and have decided it’s time to sell.
New steel body kit.
Rebuilt Dauntless 225 V6
New Best top
Rebuilt drive train
Everything else new or redone”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1850.

Runs.

“1951 Jeep Willys
Project Time! Yep, rusty. She is a 1951 Jeep Willys with a good running motor. I do not have the time or the money to do it right, so I want to send it off to a new home where she will get the love she needs.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.

I’m wondering if this was a DJ-3A body. The “side stripes” are right at the location where the large opening bodies had their slant. Factory T-86? Lacks an engine.

“Solid rust free body and frame. No engine, but it does have the original factory T-86 3-speed transmission and transfer case. This was running a small block Chevy until it was removed earlier this year for another project. Included with the sale is a set of sbc headers and the motor mount plate so that a sbc could be dropped in and bolted right up. This Jeep was a runner up until this year, so it won’t take much other than a motor to have this up and driving. I have the title in hand and it’s clean, clear and in my name.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500

“1949 Willys Overland CJ3-A
Free and clear title- newly assigned state vin number, original vin tag was gone.
3 Stick Trannie/transfer – T-90 / Dana 18 as far as I can tell.

Early 90’s 305 SBC from a Camaro, according to the casting numbers, I was told, besides the cheap walmart battery, which is mounted in the rear, the engine starts and purrs great. I rewired the majority of the Jeep with Weatherpack connectors. Part of the reason I am getting rid of it is because, I am more of a blue oval fan, which would have been much more gentle on the firewall (distributor would have been in the CORRECT spot!) and if I did keep it, I would surely destroy my perfect driving record, well at least for the last decade. This Jeep has a s@#$load of power and should not be taken likely!!!
