Recently retired. My wife and I took an interest in this cj3a in a family member's "collection". He was happy to let us take it and start cleaning it up. I will start tinkering with it once this cold spell snaps.

Hi there neighbor!� I live in Madison Co.
That looks like a nice starting point for a project.
I wonder if green, then painted white was a fad in this area? ;D . . Mine was originally tan, then emerald green, then white.
Your also appears to have a nice matching set of tires like mine.

1953. From what I have researched, it is one of the last made by Willys Overland before Kaiser bought the company.

Nice. From what I can see, it looks to be very complete under the hood.
The tail gate area looks a bit odd. What's happening back there?

Looking good welcome!

Nice! I love seeing flatties with the windshields down. I also like how you can see how it sunk into the earth (dirt on tires). Mine did the same thing. Ahhh old neglected Jeeps. Good luck with it!

Tim, I don't know what you mean by odd, since this is the only one I have to go by, but there is basically nothing in the tub rear of the steering wheel.

Vincent,
The exterior surface looks just fine, and original for a late 3A. The interior surface appears to have an extra skin. Possibly added to strengthen it. Actually, that's not a bad idea.
We should be able to see the stamped embossments on the interior surface.
