UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500

The body looks like a replacement, so it probably in good shape.

“This is a super clean, very unique, low mile ’53 CJ3B, ’92 4.3L GMC, fuel injected, rear locker Dana 40, T18 transfer, 4″ lift, Rubicon rack with 2 Jerry cans, high lift jack, bikini top, rear seat, tow-wired with new towbar. New fuel system. Work done by Folbeck 4WD. Recent systems check with redone brake lines. BFG 32s 70% with matching spare under rear rack. New Optima battery. Starts and runs strong. Selling for larger 4×4 to fit the family.”

Looks good for the price.

“59 willys f head on 33’s. Full soft top. Runs good. Will consider full or partial trades, riding lawn mower, 4 wheeler, boat, etc. Call 989-798-8543 for more info.”

It runs and includes the trailer.

“This is a 1954 Willy’s jeeb CJ3B that is mostly all stock. It has 76000 miles. This is a project and need work. The engine runs good and the transfer case all works. I would be willing to trade for an older VW Baja Bug. Call Joe with any questions at 509-990-0939. Thanks!”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3800

(09/26/2011) This appears mostly stock, though someone squeezed in a dash mounted glove box which might be handy.

“1954 CJ 3B
Power take off winch
Original 6 volt system

Just in time for hunting season.
Running and ready to go.
Perfect for around the hunting club or ranch.
Restoration potential.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was For Trade

(12/05/2010) I can’t see much in the pic.  It’s a project and seller’s price has varied.

“i have a 53 willys jeep its a cj3b the high hood i had plans to build it for sand drags and just dont have the cash so looking to sell or possibly trade for a sandrail …. it has a ford nine inch in the rear with a dana 44 front it has a sbc 350 in it which ran great when parked but has been sitting the heads are ported has bigger cam i have a brand new wiring harness for it just needs to be installed the dash was in bad shape so i cut it out needs to have a dash made i have a tilt coloum for it needs seats the tranny was rebuilt right before being parked has a tubo 350 i also have a fresh 383 shortblock i was building for it bagged and ready to be finished it has a balanced eagle rotating assembly with flat top pistons.. ihave a soft top and doors for it ..i have 2500 just in the motor and wiring harness….im asking 3500 for the jeep 5500 for jeep and motor and i also have all brand new autometer gauges minus tach”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800.

It is a project, but there may be some value here, especially if the engine starts after being wired correctly.  There is also a parts CJ-3B for sale, too.

“I have a 1953 willys jeep here I was working on it for about a month and decided that I wasn’t one of the best people to work on it. The engine turns over but it doesnt start because I didnt have all the electrical hooked up. The transmission shifts into 1st and reverse but not 3rd or 2nd. The transfer case will need work to have the rear drive line put on but it shifts into high and low and in and out of 4wd. It comes with two brand new seats that were redone. The windsheild has a chunk missing out of it.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4900.

This has GM running gear of some vintage.

“Rebuilt 225-V6, Newly Rewired, New Front Hubs, Good Tires.
4 WD Works. GM Running Gear.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800.

It ran before the seller started working on it.  Body is off of it.

“Project I started a couple years ago and have not been able to find the time to finish. Engine ran and 4 wheel drive worked before I started this project, (had bad brakes and leaky differentials when I bought it). Both differentials have been completly gone through with new bearings, seals, and gear oil. New 3″ lift kit with springs, shackles, and shocks. New brake shoes, springs, and all four wheel cylinders are new. Body tub is off of the chassis right now. Good windshield frame. Body tub is decent, little rust, not bad. Jeep came from a farm in the mountains, never been on the beach. Clear title.”

UPDATE:  Still Available.

(09/25/2011) I am guessing this doesn’t run.

“Original parts except different motor, minimal rust, Good frame. Motor is a ’46 Willys Flathead.  870-307-4646 or 870-615-1327”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $400.

There may be some value here. It even runs!

“53 willys jeep runs good with plow 4 wheel drive works good
400 each obo”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000

(11/13/2010) The body has some dents on the driver’s side.  It appears this has gone through some updates, such as a tilt wheel, roll cage, and updates to the suspension (the front appears to have a metal strip that probably helps strengthen it is some way).

“Good working condition,Buick V6 225 engine, Warren over drive, Original 3 speed transmission. Great for hunting and 4 wheeling.”

The seller incorrectly labels the 1953 as a CJ-3B rather than a CJ-3A.

“i have two willys jeeps, both 4 cylinders
the 55 cj3-b has the better hurricane motor, has matching title and runs and drives but needs the brakes refreshed. it was used 4 years ago as a small plow jeep for a driveway. all the plow stuff is removed. has full enclosed cab with doors, body is okay but all there, some floor rott under the seat on driver side like all of them. its not the prettyest thing but its all there and like i said, runs and drives really good. motor is super smooth and does not leak a drop of oil. already 12 volt converted.
the 2 top pics, i have more pics available

the 53 willys has a really good body but some floor rott under the seat on driver side like all of them, good seat frames and a really solid windshield frame (which is rare) the glass is cracked but they always do that due to the flex in the WS frame. has original tags on the dash, new tires, “aftermarket” front and rear bumpers, otherwise mostly original
no title so its a “parts only” sale on this one. motor does not leak, i have not tried to get it running yet, motor turns over just like it should tho. would be awesome resto or rat rod project

ready to sell either one for $2000 or best or $3000 for both. can deliver if not to far from kenosha.

text or call 262-945-8187 anytime

would trade for 50’s chevy ford or gmc truck only,

It’s a variety of parts.

“No motor or tranny,includes frame and running gear. I have a half cab hard top that needs work. Also have a pile of random parts that’ll go with it. I have no title or paper work. No emails, any questions

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was $5200.

This appears solid.

“What you are looking at is a rare 1954 willys cj3b jeep. It comes with a powerful PTO winch. The engine is the original engine and runs perfectly with no smoke and great oil pressure. The transmission is also perfect. The jeep has been restored. It could use 2 new rear tires. 4 wheel drive works perfectly. The jeep has no title, but I do have a bill of sales and can write another when you buy it.
New windshield
New carburetor
New paint
New spray in bed liner
New spark plug wires
New rear universal joint.”
