The seller has a lot of money into this, but the jeep remains in pieces. The pic below was taken prior to it being disassembled.

“Hello, I have a 1952 Willys CJ3A project for sale. I have had it for about 25 years now and don’t see myself finishing it anytime soon. So it’s time for it to move on. I have about $12k into it and it’s still in pieces. I bought the replacement panels and $4k in parts (see lists in photos). I also had engine completely gone through, machined, and professionally rebuilt ($3k) with hardened vavle seat so it is good for todays gas. It has a Dana 44 rear axle, original heater, professionally rebuilt front and rear driveshafts, and quite a few spare parts including a spare transmission and transfer case. I also have a full steel hard top (no side doors) and a half cab/doors. Have clean title too. I also attached a couple photos of when it was together. I would like to get $6k because there is $4k in parts on the lists alone, $3k in the engine, plus everything else. Open to offers/trades especially a for 55’-59’ Chevy/GMC truck driver/solid project. Goose neck livestock trailer w/lvg qrtrs.”

It’s unclear to me what this is supposed to be, but it’s only $200. Might make an unusual looking racer.

Quickly Assembled Jeep Video

• CATEGORIES: Features, videos • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Bill shared this quick-assemble jeep video, though this doesn’t quite look as quick as others we’ve seen.

What’s more interesting is that one of the comments under the video shares how some US jeep dealers ran some contests challenging folks to assemble actual jeeps completely taken apart. This is the first I have heard about this type of contest. I wonder if it was ever documented in any news articles or magazines. Here is the full comment:

My grandfather’s garage did this in the 1950’s. He owned the first Jeep dealership in Manhattan, because he was selling Willy’s before WWII, so automatically became a Jeep dealership after the War. [Willys] did a promotion where they set up this contest in different dealerships, to see how long to assemble an entire Jeep. But it was completely apart, not in sub assemblies like here. My grandfather won with a time under 4 hours, and they presented him with a solid gold Bulova watch. On the back was engraved his name, the date, and the time it took to put the Jeep together.”

John shared this militarized CJ-5. Though not restored to original, it looks like this was a nut and bolt rebuild at some point. It seems worth a look given the price.
