UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000

Here’s a flattie with some very large tires.

“1951 flatfender (grey, white, black forest camo paint), 231 buick V6 ( just installed, runs great), 4 speed tranny, 38″ super swampers (95% tread), On-board air: front bumper is an air tank w/ quick disconect to run air tools, locker front and back (not sure what kind, I just know from wheeling it it is locked up), CB & CD radio, Dual fuel tanks, 1978 tandem axle trailer (doesn’t look great, but trailer is very solid. I use it every year to haul jeep, 1 four-wheeler, and 1 motorcycle), I would like to sell these together, but I will sell jeep only (make offer). If I sell the trailer I can’t haul jeep.”

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was $4000

UPDATE 2:  I stopped to checked this jeep out on my way home this evening.  There are corner post holder holes (it’s too late for me to remember what the correct term is) on the rear corners, so I can’t help think the body is a CJ-2A.  Though not perfectly straight, the body appears rust free.  I saw no rust underneath along the hat channels either.  The Data Plate looks brand new.

I wonder what condition the floor is in given the addition of the aluminum.

“I don’t have the money to keep driving this. I would like to keep it but I need the money. It has a Buick 225, aluminum diamond plate floor, PTO winch, mechanical & electric fuel pumps, power steering, overdrive, CB radio with whip antenna, tow bar, and the tires are barely used. I changed the plates to street plates a couple of years ago. I still have the special use plates for it. Cash talks. No trades. No partial trades. $6000.00 OBO. 503-816-2111”

This is one of two 1950 CJ-3As being sold by this seller.

“1950 CJ-3A WILLYS JEEP. THIS JEEP IS ALL ORIGINAL. I BEGAN TO RESTORE THIS JEEP, BUT I NEED TO SELL NOW, MY LOSS IS YOUR GAIN.
THE JEEP IS COMPLETE EXCEPT THE RADIATOR AND SHROUD ARE MISSING ALONG WITH THE HOSES. THE ENGINE HAS SOME PROBLEMS, IT WILL TURN FREELY, BUT I PUT A GOOD STARTER IN AND WHEN THE ENGINE TURNS OVER YOU CAN HEAR A GRINDING NOISE. THE OIL IS CLEAN WITH NO WATER SO I AM ASSUMING THAT EITHER THE RINGS, VALVES, OR BEARINGS NEED TO BE LOOKED AT.”

This is one of two 1950 CJ-3As by the same seller on eBay (Note the jeeps in the background).

“1950 Willys CJ3A Jeep. CJ3A7499. 4 CYLINDER 134 ORIGINAL ENGINE. THE JEEP IS ALL ORIGINAL .THE JEEP CRANKS EASILY, RUNS AND DRIVE GOOD,THE TIRES RE OK BUT NOT GREAT. THE JEEP IS A GREAT STARTER VEHICLE FOR SOMEONE WANTING A JEEP OF THIS TYPE, IT WILL PROBABLY NEED SOME THINGS CHANGED OR FIXED, BUT FOR THE MOST PART YOU CAN DRIVE THIS JEEP NOW WITHOUT ANY WORK.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1250

The seller probably has the model wrong on this.

“1946 Jeep Willys CJ3A. Recently installed 350, in good condition. Recently installed rear brake cylinders. Wiring needs to be finished. In good condition and ready to sell.”

This looks like it might be a good deal.  The body and parts look in good shape.

“this is a 1950 willys fiber glass body with 4 cly flat head willys motor it is a three speed very low geard will climb and pull hard its a fun toy to have call phill at 785 217 5077 or 785 597 5100 thanks”

There’s been some unusual customizations to this body.

“This is my 1951 cj3a jeep. im looking for 3000 or best offer. email me and ill tell you all about it and send you pictures. or you can call me at 866-6018”

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was $10,000

There’s clearly lots of time and money put into this custom CJ-3A.  If the model (cj-3a) is accurate, it’s one of probably several hundred.  This has some stainless parts.

“Classic Willys, customized with all the extras. Original 1948 body, 225 Odd-fire V6 1965 Buick engine, T18 truck transmission 4 speed 7:1 ratio deep under. Power steering, power locks front and rear. Stainless steel grill and windshield, chrome rockguards, custom Emiron black paint–lots more. Rebuilt “new” in 1983, 9500 miles since and kept garaged when not in use. Over $24,000 of customized extras plus 4 years of labor. A labor of love and it kills me to part with it, but I need the money. No trades. ”

This appears to have a CJ-3B windshield with a CJ-2A body and maybe a CJ-3A title?

“1952 Willys jeep. Would be a great project or hunting vehicle. Runs but needs a new carb. Has recently been converted to 12 volt. Has the flat head 4cly.(go devil)? Comes with tow bar and tows great. The jeep has some rust and holes but could be patched. Comes with a hard top also, and a extra military hood. I am in the process of working on this jeep so price is, as is right now. Call Chuck 719-243-3425”

UPDATE:  Price dropped to $6000

This seller claims this CJ-3A has an aluminum body.  These are certainly rare.

“Willey’s Jeep, 350 V-8, all aluminum body, 2″ Rancho lift, new tires and rims(951) 766-7223”

This CJ appears in very good condition.

Here’s a flattie crawler out of Georgia.

“1953 Willys CJ3A Jeep. Lots of custom work done to it. I got it in a trade a couple of years ago and haven’t done much with it since. 225 Buick odd-fire V6, rebuilt 3 speed transmission, Spicer 18 transfer case.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000

This might not be a bad price.

“1951 willys jeep, was running a year ago needs carb cleaned and fuel lines and tank cleaned. supersonic L head engine original motor.

UPDATE:  Was $4000. **SOLD**

This looks like a real nice flattie.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000.

This looks like a nice enough jeep that has been ‘restored’ nicely.  However, the claim that this is all original except for tires and wheels is not true (12 volt system, fender flares, the rear lights, and I’m sure more).

“BODY OFF RESTORATION, 1951 CJ-3A. BOX, STOCK & BAREFOOT-EVERYTHING ON THIS JEEP EXCEPT THE HORN BUTTON & TIRES & WHEELS.  EVERYTHING ELSE IS ORIGINAL 1951 EQUIPMENT, 2172 MILES SINCE COMPLETION, ENGINE & DRIVE LINE HAVE BEEN GONE THROUGH INCLUDING NEW CLUTCH, ALL NEW BRAKING SYSTEM, NEW EXHAUST, NEW LIGHTS, 12 VOLT CONVERSION, REMANUFACTURED STARTER …”

UPDATE:  Purchased by an ewillys reader.  He notes it’s in great shape and was a good price.  It’s now home in Montana.

This looks like it could be a good price to me.

“1951 Willys jeep CJ3. Runs. 4 wheel drive. Has a 6 ft. plow. Original motor. Has rear seat, chains for all 4, transfer case and transmission with gears. Spare motor parts and assorted brake parts. Other misc. parts. Little rust under doors where step used to be. A classic in it own right. “

A reader named Mike is selling this CJ-3A.  There have been a variety of updates to it and you can see Mike has invested some time maintaining and update this jeep.

“It’s a 1949 cj-2a.f-head motor, narrow trac differentials, t-90 tranns, dana 20 transfercase with adapter. Completely gone through. I put a wrench on just about every bolt. Too much to list. Would trade for cj-3b with pto’S and overdrive or $8000. 309-697-5910 or email mikester51@comcast.net ”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3750.

This looks like it could use some work on it.
