Summary:
Used 1949 Willys Jeep
Location:
Morgantown, PA
Description:
1949 Willy CJ3A World War II saw the creation of one of America's most belovedvehicles, the Jeep. Now primarily produced for consumer use, theJeep was once a military workhorse designed to move troops, helpthe wounded and more. The story of the Jeep begins in the late1930s, when the United States military was searching for a vehiclethat was light, rugged and could travel over rough terrain. By theearly 1940s, the Jeep's design was complete and offered to thecivilian world, and the rest is history. For consignment, a John Willys-Overland company produced 1949Willys Model CJ-3A with a title verified 4,393 actual miles. Thesewere strictly utilitarian vehicles intended for and marketed toagricultural and industrial businesses. Thus we can assume thisJeep spent a good deal of its life on a farm and not going very farand we know in recent years it's been used mostly for parades andnice day drives. All that has kept the mileage low! ExteriorDesert Tan coats the panels of this car and is reminiscent of amore recent conflict where Humvees prevailed. It contrasts wellwith the bright red steel wheels, all five of them including theside mounted spare. An Olive Drab canvas top harkens back tomilitary Jeeps and looks great against the tan. The classic faceincludes chrome headlight rings and matching marker lights. Asubstantial tow rope is tied around the black bumper ready to pullneighbors and bovine out of mud. The back bumper includes a towhitch which likely pulled farm carts full of supplies. A singletaillight is out back because on your own property, that's reallyall you need. In general, the paint and top are in good conditionbut not without imperfections thatinclude a structural crack in thefender, bubbling, chips, and some distorted paint by the gas fillneck. InteriorCanvas doors with plastic windows open fully to allow access over alow sill. The olive green front bucket seats are covered in clothand there is also a small rear bench seat. Most surfaces, as autilitarian vehicle, are uncovered leaving tan painted metal todominate the interior surfaces. The plastic steering wheel showssome age with cracks and has 3 thin spokes leading from the hub. Avery basic gauge package is in the center of the painted dash withall of the essential data points. The floor mounted shifter isskinny and tall like my Uncle Larry, and next to it are shorterrange selectors. Some rubber weather mats cover the painted floorand as Porky Pig says, "That's all, Folks!". A simple andutilitarian interior is absolutely part of the charm! DrivetrainA 134.2 cubic-inch L-head four-cylinder engine is under the nonpadded hood and is what we would call very clean driver quality.They were rated at about 60 horsepower, fed through a 1-barrelcarburetor, and gears were shifted through a Borg Warner T903-speed manual transmission, engaging all wheels via a Dana 18transfer case. The front axle is a Dana 25 with 5.38 gears matedwith the rear axle where a Dana 44 also houses 5.38 gears. Drumbrakes all around for the red wheels. UndercarriageWe're not sure when this car was restored, but it's highly likelyit hasn't seen a farm road since. Super clean underneath where thattan body paint continues on the belly. Black painted componentslook very good including a guard over the driveshaft. A singleexhaust flows from the engine, encounters a stock style muffler,then exits behind the right rear wheel. The front and rearsuspension are comprised of leaf springs. Drive-AbilityThis tough mudder isn't going to win any races, but with less than5,000 miles, it may win the mileage contest for CJ3A's in thecountry. It's got that distinct early Jeep whine and torques alongwith good movement and confident tracking. These tires would likelydo well on gravel and probably feel more at home, but they do justfine on our more civilized landscape. The fewer creature comfortsmean fewer things can break, and everything here works as itshould, although the driver's door is a bit tricky to get latchedsecurely. Rugged and vintage SUV's are all the rage. From classic FordBroncos to International Harvesters, the bare bones 4x4's ofyesteryear were intended to get civilians out of ditches andthrough harsh environments. And unless you live on a farm or in themountains, your harshest environment might be the parking lot atTarget. So here's one you can enjoy for car shows, parades, or putit back in service as a trail going four wheeler where it willprove its capabilities 75 years later!
