Gateway Classic Cars of San Antonio/Austin is pleased to present this 1953 Willys Jeep CJ-3A. Willys-Overland introduced the CJ-3A model in 1949 to replace the CJ-2A, due to a "slump" in CJ-2A sales, bringing with it a few reasonable minor interior updates regarding comfort and drivability. The CJ-3A was part of the Universal CJ series, a model intended for agricultural and industrial applications in the civilian market, an area in which Willys-Overland felt it would be a good fit, as the CJ employed the same "utilitarian" features that gave the MB model remarkable success in WWII. Even so, Willys-Overland realized the value of driver comfort, even in a "work" vehicle such as the CJ. Updates in the new CJ-3A, while minor, included increased leg room, leakproof connection features for the canvas top and front side of each door, thicker cushions and more headroom, and the addition of 2-3/8" to the overall height (with windshield up). The rear wheel well was shortened, and the driver's seat was moved toward the rear of the vehicle, shortening the deck. A one-piece windshield was also introduced, with an improved vacuum-type windshield wiper for greater road visibility, and a windshield ventilator for the circulation of fresh air. The suspension was a notable improvement, as the vehicle was still being used for various agricultural applications The 134ci Go Devil inline-four was factory rated at 60 horsepower and 106 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear or all four wheels through a three-speed manual synchromesh transmission and a dual-range transfer case. The seats are upholstered in tan cloth and the steel dashboard houses an instrument lamp, choke and throttle control knobs. Centrally mounted instrumentation consists of a 70-mph speedometer, an amp meter, and gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature, and oil pressure. The six-digit odometer shows 9581k miles, and true mileage is unknown. If you are looking for a classic that is sure to attract a crowd, this is the one you want to own!.
