This is a great little Jeep, an all original , never abused Potomic Grey 1950 Willys CJ3a. She's a SURVIVOR highly documented, rust free California Jeep with 53,672 original miles (mostly freeway tow miles). This Jeep lived all its life on a nursery in Southern California up until 2004. The original owner kept a detailed history of the jeep in a 3 ring binder full of pictures from the 50s, 60s and 70s, old registrations, receipts and other documents. This Jeep has its original Black plates from the 60s and is 100% NUMBERS MATCHING including the original engine, transmission, transfercase, and axle. This jeep has never dissembled or pulled apart, including the engine or transmission. All the gauges work and the gauge light. It drives like a new vehicle, the engine has never been pulled out of the vehicle and still retains its original black paint. The engine runs perfectly with no smoke, runs very smoothly and quietly. The The original floor push starter is still there and real blast to operate. The transmission likewise works great and shifts great without any grinding. This is an incredibly rust free Jeep that was painted Potomic Grey from the factory and still retains a lot of original paint, pretty hard to come by these days. The wheels are all original with the factory Harvard Red paint and pinstripe still intact. As mentioned before this is a dry California Jeep. This Jeep is amazingly original and unabused. It has all original body panels including beautiful original floor, side panels, hood, fenders and tailgate. Incredibly solid Jeep, there are ZERO cracks anywhere on the frame nor the body, quite a find! Not even the area around the spare tire carrier, are there any cracks or warpage! I've seen a bunch of Willys over the years and all of them had cracks in several areas on the body and frame in one way or another and this one doesn't! The bumpers are original with the original factory rivets, and again no cracks up front around the front leaf spring shackle brackets, that plagues most Willys. The floorboard support channel braces underneath are straight, warp free and crack free! The fenders are super straight, as well with the rest of the body being dent free!! The bed is surprisingly straight, darn near dent free, only a few very small dents. The body is virgin with no accidents or repairs of any kind, again no bondo. The under seat tool compartment is solid rust free which is next to impossible to find. In all reality, this Jeep will NOT require any patch panels at all! The seats have been recovered with correct covers. The Jeep retains most of its originality including all the original wiring and is in great shape. The original mohair shrouding between the radiator and grill is still intact (see picture). The side steps are original to the Jeep are usually missing or all bent up from hitting objects, these are still perfect. The original horn still works! The Jeep obviously has not ever been hacked up or modified at all and still retains the "single taillight" never modified or had holes drill for a second taillight. The tire are brand new correct 7.00-15s. The spare is the original 7.00-15 Goodyear. The windshield is also brand new with new weatherstrip. The battery tie down and J bolts are also original, these are usually long gone. And last, but not least, it comes with a rare bed extension attachment option. This is pretty self explanatory, it provides a longer bed. The extension can be removed very easily if preferred, I suspect in a matter of about 20 minutes or so. This is a fantastic little Jeep, but please remember it is 63 years old and is a used vehicle sold as is. It shows great patina! If the buyer prefers not to keep the rear extension, I would be willing to remove it and refund $500.
