Up for auction is a 1951 Jeep Willys CJ3Awith 43,037 miles. I was told this was actual mileage but can't confirm due to how old the Jeep is. I always wanted a willys so I purchased the Jeep with the intentions of restoring it but currently have tooooooooooooo many projects going and need to make some room. Jeep comes with it's Original Common Wealth of Virginia Title from 1951 which has been framed to preserve and display it. This Jeep was owned by the same family it's whole life and has been sitting for quite awhile. I was told it was running when parked but can not verify. Jeep has all of it's original fenders, front grille, Windshield frame, tailgate, Motor & driveline, rear mounted spare tire carrier, 5 Wheels & Tires (rubber is cracked and they leak air), Driver side seat, and also a registratable Title which is in the original owners sons name so you don't have to let go of the original. I have uploaded numerous pictures to detail the condition of the parts. I would say this Jeep is around 90-95% complete. I hate to let it go and hopefully she'll find a nice new owner to restore her to her original beauty. This was a Farm Jeep and the Body, All sheet metal, panels & Frame are Rock solid. All rust areas you see in pictures are light surface rust from sitting with exposed metal and is not detrimental to the body integrity in any way. Don't know anymore of it's history than what's listed. Jeep is currently in a state of disassembly. Fenders, grille, tailgate, radiator, seat, rollbar have been removed to start the restoration process. Body bolts have been removed and body is sitting on the frame. Motor, transmission, Tranfercase are still intact and have not been disassembled.Miscellaneous hardware / fasteners are in a bucket I have built numerous CJ's from 76-86, but never a Willys and have not put a wrench to this Jeep since bringing it home as I didn't want to get started on something until I could give it my undivided attention and financial support. All disassembly was done by the owner before I got it. A couple of hours of work a handfull of bolts and the body would be back together. I will gladly take and send more pictures prior to the 18th of Dec as requested which is the night before the auction ends. If you wish to see it before bidding or have any concerns about condition being other than described PLEASE ask PRIOR to bidding. I will be out of town for the holidays from the 18th to the 26th but will respond to any and all questions. Please do not wait until the last minute to ask for pictures or more details. Deposit of $500 is due within 24 hours of end of auction - remainder payable upon pickup. I will help with shipping as much as I can but arrangements are the buyers responsibility.
