Searching for immaculate restored CJ3A
« 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.

Howdy, you might want to post this in the "wanted" section of this forum.  I think somebody wanting to sell might be more inclined to visit that section...just an idea for you.  What kind of price range is your friend talking about?

You can always check EBAY.  Craiggers is nice useful tool to search all of craigslist's listings.

Yes, I too suggest you search ebay and craigslist. I found my Jeep on craigslist. You might try to find any Jeep clubs in your area and ask them about Jeeps for sale.

Found mine on eBay.  I see them there all the time from "project ready" to "show ready".

Thanks for all the suggestions. �Yes I have been monitoring ebay. �Craigslist is harder since they have started shutting down the sitemash services. � 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.
