UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000

(04/01/2010) This looks like a nice jeep.

“RARE… 1953 Willy’s highhood jeep, CJ 3B in good condition. All parts listed below are new within the last two years with very low miles on them: Carb, Paint, Rims, Tires, Fuel, Tank, Exhaust, Brakes. It has a Warn O/D. Jeep runs and looks awesome, has original engine, tranny, axles and t/c.  Selling so I can get something fun such as a Sand Rail, Quad, Land Cruiser, Early Bronco or even a 1 Ton 4×4 truck.”

This looks pretty good.  I don’t think I’ve seen hubcaps quite like that.

This looks nice. I’m not sure where West Magic Reservoir is.

“This is one great jeep. It is all original, four cylinder newly re-built engine, new suspension, new tires, new fuel pump, new brakes. No cracks in glass, It’s clean, runs great, looks great. Have to sell, but firm on price. If you know your Willys, you’ll love this one.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

This is a good looking CJ-3B. The seller provides a nicely detailed description.  The drain holes have been filled in.

“Here is a very nice 1953 Willys CJ-3B that is roadworthy.  I run errands in it frequently.  I have the title in my name so no drama there.  The Jeep is still mostly original with the Hurricane engine and T-90 transmission, both of which work great. The engine starts right up hot or cold, no smoke and is very smooth. I’ve had the Jeep for two years, and from what I’ve been told by the previous owner, the Jeep was totally refurbished 12 years ago. I have no reason to doubt that. The paint still has some shine but there are some surface rust spots. There is also rust on the drivers side support for the fender. Also some rust on a cross member under the tub near the rear wheel wells. Since I’m in the disclosing mode, the only gauges that are hooked up are the temperature gauge and the oil pressure gauge. The odometer works but the speedometer has a broken needle. The ampere meter and the gas gauge are not hooked up and will be good things for a “to do” list. The seats are not original and in pretty bad shape under the seat covers, but they look okay. The emergency brake cable needs to be replaced….”

UPDATE:  SOLD ! An ewillys reader purchased this one.

Given the passenger side indents, I’d say this is a pretty new body.
