What is it? And what is a fair offer

[quarkz]

I am a military jeep novice, I had a 84 CJ-7.

They say it is a 1948 Willy's Jeep with blown head gasket, doesn't run at this time. I am getting pix of the Data plate and the engine.

Peanut Gallery?
Any idea on what it is worth offering?

Thanx.

I'm thinking CJ series...2A or 3...non military jeep. Does it have (or had) a tailgate?

I would say it is a cj3a. The Frame makes it a 3a, the horns are different than 2a, also no pockets on the side for top bows like the 2a had.

Front running lights with no provision for b/o markers make it a CJ front end. Along with the other items pointed out already.

1 piece windshield make it a 3A. Does the middle panel under the glass fold out for a vent? That is another 3A item when combined with the short hood. A tailgate really makes it a 3A tub.

I paid $600 for one that ran but needs brake work and rust repair a few months ago if you are looking for a price range.

Thanx for the replies guys.

It is a friends rig that was bought a few years a go as a never started project.
I thought it would look nice dressed up -ala MV- and used to lead my trucks when they are in parades and convoys.

I have only seen it when picking up or dropping someone off at their place.
So I will have to give it a more thorough look now that I have been armed with a measure of cj3a expertise.

Thanx again.
