Vehicle Description
STK 3405 1951 Willys Jeep CJ3A
Willys-Overland introduced the CJ-3 in 1949 in an effort to improve
comfort and drivability of the previous CJ-2. It was part of the
'Universal CJ' series, models intended for agricultural/industrial
applications in the civilian marketplace. The CJ series employed
the same utilitarian features of the military 'MB' model, but
offered modest comfort upgrades. This 1951 Willys CJ-3 had a
partial restoration in 2012. The original body has had a full
respray that is similar to Jeep Shadow Gray. Some of the sheet
metal on the undercarriage has rust damage and it appears that some
parts of the floor pan have been replaced. Other areas may need to
be addressed. The seats have been reupholstered in black vinyl and
are in good condition. There is a one-piece windshield, full set of
analogue gauges, dual 'bottom-mount' vacuum wipers and a
functioning heater. A custom cover is also included with the Jeep.
Horsepower is provided by a 134ci 'Go Devil" flathead 4-cylinder
engine that outputs 60hp-105 lb/ft. It is said to have never
required a rebuild and runs well. The cooling system has been
refreshed including a new radiator and hoses. The flathead is
backed by a T-90 3-speed transmission that is mated to a 2wd/4wd,
Hi/Lo transfer case. The front axles of the CJ-3A model did not
come with 'Warn' locking/unlocking hubs. The braking system is
hydraulic 4-wheel drum and electrics are 6-volt. The CJ-3 is
equipped with the larger 16" military wheels/tires (5) that are
perfect for rough terrain. A rear tow hitch has also been added.
Become the next owner of this Willys CJ-3A and have some fun. ALL
