There is a lot to like there. A remarkably complete 3A. A 3A is difficult to date without the serial # plate. The differences from year to year aren't very obvious. Have you found the engine serial number? If the engine is original, this will tell us what year it is.

I'll see if I can get engine #. Has anyone ever seen a white pinstripe like that?

I do not believe the pinstripe is a factory option, but sure is cool
 ... A little bit of 'style' from the previous owner... |

Wow, that is a nice find. Are those fuel and vacuum lines original? They look like it.

What's that shaft under the air filter?

The pin striping was added later. Can you tell if the blue is the original color? You can sometimes find out by cleaning the grime off the underside of the tub up in the transmission tunnel area. I haven't seen many blue 3As. Perhaps it's an original Horizon Blue?

I believe that shaft is the driveline to the front axle. Correct me if I'm mistaken.

Those are some nice 'coon turds in the front floor pans! Seriously, that 3A is nice, as far as price search
craigslist in your area for 3As and nearby areas just to get an idea. It is a barnfind so it might be better to ask the owner what they want for it

I like the jeep. Obviously complete, etc. The windshield, later type chaff screen, park lights, and the oil filter can holder say that it's not a 2A. It looks like a good cleaning would reveal a really nice Jeep. Congratulations on your find - damn few are in that kind of condition.

that number is the block casting number. the number's you are looking for are above the water pump, or behind the oil filter on an oval tag. the numbers will be stamped in to the block

Can you post a photo of the center of the dashboard that includes the gauges and the top edge of the dash?
