Mike Gardner's Maryland CJ2A Check out this Willys work in progress! |
Bob Boxley's Beauty: Bob saw our CJ3A featured on www.offroaders.com and then contacted us at the Jeepchasm to share photos and get resources for the restoration of his 1951 CJ3A. Bob's CJ3A was truly a "Diamond in the Rough."Bob states that the Jeep once belonged to a coal mine in West Virginia and his father bought it from them in 1955. This Willys retained the majority of its' original, hard to find parts. Note the original tail lights, all 3 seats with springs, hand operated passenger wiper, lock-out hubs, and etc. It also has an early Ramsey winch! Check out Bob's restoration on the CJ3A Page and take note of Jonathan George's awesome handiwork! |
Brazilian CJ3A My friend Waldir in Sao Palo sent me this shot of his red 1952 CJ3A. Waldir visited Pennsylvania and left with the old dashboard from my 1951. That just goes to show you that you can never go too far in your search for Willys Jeep parts! Willys Overland Export Corporation used to ship numerous Universal Jeeps to South America. They are very popular to this day in places like Brazil and Columbia. |
Check out Bob Westerman's 3 Vintage Jeeps! Below is his current project, a rare CJ-V35. Top right is his 1952 CJ3A in Original Stock Condition. Bottom right is his fully restored M-38. The M-38 and the CJ-V35 are Military siblings of our beloved CJ3A's! |
Want to help Bob with his CJ3A research? Contact him through his website www.cj3a.info and help out by answering some questions about your CJ3A! His site is loaded with valuable historic info. and is a great resource to anyone restoring a Willys CJ3A! |
Who says you can't do some hardcore wheeling with a classic Jeep? Ted Ziegler of PA Jeeps demonstrates the capability of his CJ8 Scrambler on a challenging snow covered hill climb at Rausch Creek! Lockers? Who needs Lockers? Thanks for showing us how it's done Ted! |
Tim Bramblett's North Georgia 3A |
This 3A may be a DJ3A. It has 56337 series ID# and the DJ3A / CJ3B style dashboard. But, it also has 4wd like a CJ3A. Tim will do some more research to see if it's a DJ on a CJ chassis. |

The photo to the right is from when we visited Bob and helped "turn a wrench" on his CJ3A. Thanks again Bob, for letting us participate in your restoration! |
NEWS: Bob partnered with Jonathan George of the CJ3A Page to complete his restoration! Check out the finished product at www.cj-3a.com! (I love their choice in colors!) |
Bob chose "Hummer Yellow" for his CJ3A project. Seems like yellow Jeeps get lots of attention! |
