299: Derrill Wolkins’ 1950 Willys CJ-3A
We purchased our 1950 CJ-3A named “Elvis” in 1983 for $500 as a father-son restoration project and it has now been handed down to my boys. It is completely stock except for seatbelts and a roll cage. We are very active in a Jeep club and enjoy 4-wheeling all over beautiful Arizona. We often push our Jeep to the limits on rugged trails and have no problem keeping up with modern Jeeps. This photo was taken on a trip to the Sunflower Mine located between Phoenix and Payson.

Darrill,
You’re very fortunate to have both a Jeepin’ Jeep & a looking at Jeep. The older vehicles are much lighter, and the gearing much better for off roading. I know as I had a V-6 CJ-2a of my own. Keep it safe, mine made others jealous of it’s abilities. I chained the steering wheel down to the pedals when I was no there and I would come out to it and find the soft top door hanging open and no one around. Thye took one look at the high security chain & padlock and just left!

Very nice photos. Nice to see what these little Jeeps can do. Our CJ 3-A keeps up with the latest TJ’s. Never falters.

Beautiful job on the resto. Top shelf!
Looks like excellent gold prospecting country!

Beautiful flat fender. I am eebuilding a 46 cj2a and tires are my next major purchase. What tires do you have on there? I am looking for a set just like that, but in radials, which seems pretty hard to do. Those fit stock rims and is there any Denver rub?

I love the CJ-3B ! I had a 1953 model and wish I still had it. It was pruely unstoppable. I’m 82 years old, but if I could find a good restored 3B I’d buy it in a minute
