UPDATE: Price dropped to $5000
This looks like a reasonable price. One reader reports, “I’ve seen this jeep in person. It is not that great. The fenders are rotted out where those flares are, under the hood is a mess, and the driver’s side rear corner is crunched in. The body is a reproduction body from the 70′s with a glove box.”
“I have a 1949 Willys CJ 3 a. It is registered in MA and I drive it most weekends. I have the title. It runs great, Drives great, Shifts Great, all gauges work, excellent soft top (bestop) with very clear plastic windows, HEAT that works, hydralic plow that works great, no rust through on frame (there is surface rust), has 12 volt conversion, spot lights, electric fuel pump (new), electric wiper, elect ignition, nice clear windshield, aftermarket fender flairs (that come off, if you wish), 2″ in ball in rear, new battery, 5 tires are in great shape, brand new seats,newly rebuilt carb. head recently planed, and 8800 mi on rebuilt engine. It had a great paint job within the last 5 years, but they didn’t prep it well.
The bad news is that there is some surface rust on tub. rust through on the front fenders (new ones come with it, and dent in rear drivers corner, which has aftermarket crusher corners.
This one is a no brainer, if your looking for a driver that has all the bells and whistles, this is the rig. Asking 5k or an acceptable offer, I have no need to dump it. I enjoy it but I have others. If you are really interested please email me. You can drive it home, or bring a trailer. I really don’t need any other stuff, so just a cash sale. I will remove when sold. Please respond if your are truly interested. Thanks for looking Bill”
