    I going to agree with Bill. I had a matched pair that were very good condition that I sold to someone towards the east coast. I really wanted to keep them and build a CJ3 in front of them. Too many projects.

    Thnx David. Hey if you scroll back a page or two. April this year. Someone posted 3 pics of it at a Portland swap meet. I figure the fella I bought it from scored it at that swap meet. Tire and jerry can on back and wheels look to be white or oxidised gray.

    Well small world! I though that top looked familiar.

    Took selivery last week. Spent a few days combing over it on a friends lift. The original paint claim is legit. The original grill is in place a wears some light impact damage that probably damaged the original hood which has been replaced. Donor hood came from a similar green hued jeep with matching graphics color. The hood and fender tops were touched up with similar green paint applied with a brush. The painter took his time and did a neat job. The rest of this CJ3A is in incredible condition!! The underside is outstanding. Uniform oem nuts bolts fasteners etc everywhere., This CJ was well maintained and serviced. Nice 60+year build up of lube around all service points. Its the most honest, un molested, 98% rot free, flatfender Ive seen so far this century! Im in process of preserving this CJ as is with techniques learned maintaing forward deployed USN combat aircraft.
