609: John Accardi’s 1949 Willys CJ-3A
Bought in 2012 as a complete basket case. I Restored it over the course of several years. Recently had the engine rebuilt. I mostly cruise the back roads and occasionally some easy trails. I also like to drive it in the local parades. It usually gets lots of smiles and thumbs up.

John,
Good restoration job on your 3’A. As far as trail use goes if the skid plate is on the crossmember underneath the transmission those little characters were tanks on wheels. I had one for many years and with reasonable driving ability they would stand up incredibly well to off road use.
