Title: Searching for immaculate restored CJ3A
Post by: ersatzS2 on November 16, 2011, 06:31:55 PM: A friend in CA has admired my '50 3A, and asked me to find him one. It doesn't have to be show-car perfect but it should be totally restored and mostly original (12v conversion, turn indicators etc fine) Original colors preferable, he'll want to see the wheel pinstripes etc.
thanks for any leads!
I'm in NJ but anywhere is fine.

Post by: ersatzS2 on November 21, 2011, 03:56:23 PM: Thanks for all the suggestions. ï¿½Yes I have been monitoring ebay. ï¿½Craigslist is harder since they have started shutting down the sitemash services. ï¿½ Also looking at ewillys.
However thought I would post here since its where the real aficianados live.
Regarding budget, I would say 'unlimited' with the major qualification that it would be a rare flat-fender indeed restored to a level of greater than $10-15K.
