BSA WM20 Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 I'm looking at a jeep or 2 with a possible project in mind, however, I know very little about them at the mo. One of them has a data plate CJ3A1-1775 and I wondered if anyone knew what year and model it is? Any other info would be great, Ta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RattlesnakeBob Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 According to a few different websites the CJ3A was built between 1949 and 1952 :-) here's a good one ..http://www.film.queensu.ca/cj3b/Timeline.html ......follow a few links off there cos there are some really good Jeep based websites out there with stacks of obscure info that's all useful if only for impressing folk with little factual detail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSA WM20 Posted September 29, 2012 Author Share Posted September 29, 2012 Thanks Bob. Is the CJ3A a civilian model or would it have seen post war military service? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcspool Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 The CJ-3A was a jeep for the civilian market but it was sold in great numbers to many armed forces around the globe with military options as paint, black out lighting etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcspool Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Belgian Army CJ-3A. Netherlands, Swiss, Danish, US Army had them too (just to name a few others). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSA WM20 Posted September 29, 2012 Author Share Posted September 29, 2012 Thanks chaps. Amy idea how much a reasonable CJ3A project might fetch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Johns Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 (edited) Thanks chaps. Amy idea how much a reasonable CJ3A project might fetch? Not as sort after as a ww2 example, not so easy to sell, some have been faked up to look like wartime, as previous post only some foreign armies used them, very few were used by the US military, a few in good running condition have been for sale from £4-6000 half the price of a ww2 example This is rather exceptional, supposedly only 8000 miles from new http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Willys-Jeep-CJ2-1947-Totally-amazing-original-condition-only-8000-miles-/221129990052?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item337c5fdfa4 Edited September 30, 2012 by Nick Johns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
