1954 CJ-3B Abilene, Tx **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3B • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

HOG spotted this one. I looked back in my posts for this CJ-3B, but it doesn’t appear to be there.  I’m sure it’s all good, but just in case … the seller buys the jeep for the dad from cali and now is selling for the mom, except the title was never transferred from cali, so wouldn’t the seller actually be selling it for himself as the signer on the old title? Finally, the serial number of #4J37357 is incorrect, so I’d investigate that as well.

“I bought this Jeep for my Dad back in March 2010…He has since past away and I have no need of another Jeep, So I am selling this for my Mom. It is a 1954 Willys CJ3B that has had some modifications done to it over the years…. There is nothing wrong with the jeep it runs and drives fine…..Someone has taken chrome diamond plate and made a dash for it with all the gagues and added a Tachometer……It has a Tow bar and high lift jack that come with it……..If you are going to drive it on the highway the tires will need to be balanced and at some point it will need tires…The motor is a 260 Ford V8 with dual exhaust and starts and runs great…..Brakes all work good…..Transmission and overdrive shift fine…..All gauges work…Has a complete soft top with doors and a roll bar…… Seats are not torn but do not match in color…..The front end and steering box are out of a later mdel Jeep and all the 4 wheel drive works fine….It has two gas tanks,but only one is hooked up….There is no rust on the Jeep the floors panels are solid and rust free has a few minor digs in the hood and body, but nothig major……Tail gate has been replaced with solid panel…..Someone has added leafs to the spring and a set of Air shocks in the rear……I have a low reserve on this Jeep in order to sell quickly,it’s worth much more than the reserve price….It has a clear transferable California title………Ask questions before bidding…Sold as is…I can store for 6 months with payment made in full…. If you are serious about it I can e-mail more pictures.”

1957 CJ-3B Denver, Co $4500

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3B • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $4500.

(11/09/09) This is Non Running at the moment.  Otherwise, this jeep looks pretty solid.  Note that it has the Hudson Steering Modification.  The old top looks good.

“A very clean 1957 Jeep CJ-3B. It stopped running in 1976 and was garage kept from 1977 until about 2005. Currently it is stored under a quality, breathable car cover in a relatively dry climate. It is in the same condition as it was when it came out of storage in 2005. As it sits it has a non-running Buick 198 V6, T90 transmission and Dana 18 transfer case with a Warn overdrive. It also has a PTO winch, factory Jeep Whitco soft top, 11″ brakes and Hudson steering. My intent was to try to restore it to it’s condition as it was in the ’70s with a few upgrades. The new, uninstalled parts included with the Jeep are a Buick 225 V6 (it still needs balance and assembly), Performance Distributor HEI, Advance Adapters motor mounts. Superlift/Black Diamond suspension, 5 BF Goodrich mud terrain KOs on 16″ white spoke wheels. A new factory hood and windshield frame (the AMC dealer labels are still on them!) It also has 7 Norseman Armstrong tires, they are in very good condition and have collectible value. Serious inquiries only. Will not separate any parts. Please call Jason at 720.940.3620. Thanks!”

The ICON CJ-3B gets featured in the NY Times

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3B This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

A reader let me know that the ICON CJ-3B got featured in the NY Times this weekend in the collectible cars section.  It will likely be a great plug for the micro vehicle maker.  My one big quibble with the article is the headline “What Price Perfection? The $80,000 Army Jeep” … after all, it’s NOT an army jeep!

1953 CJ-3B East Liverpool, Oh eBay

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3B • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE:  This is back on eBay.

(06/20/2010) This jeep has some character.  Note the image that shows ‘the relief hold’, which used to be the gas tank inlet.

“This is a very cool old willys with a neat history. This 53 Willys Jeep Cj3B was restored 15 years ago and used as a pace car and push start vehicle for cloverleaf speedway till it was shut down. It has cool vintage paint with hand drawn pin-striping, with some weather checking for that old school rat rod look. I have tried to keep it as original as possible, and still make a capable 4×4 wheeling vehicle out of it. Here’s a quick break down of it:

Solid frame, no major rust and most of it still has paint on it! Body has no rust showing, but has had bondo and fiberglass repair in the past. It is solid, but not a show truck! Front and rear tow points already attached …”

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3B • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

The seller notes this is “rust free” and has “0 rust”.  But, I’m pretty sure surface rust counts as rust?? But if it runs and drives well, it looks like a good price.

“This is a 63 or 64 CJ3B for sale. It has a strong motor that has a rebuilt carb, new tune up, updated electircal,new brakes all around, new oil and brand new windshield. Drives and stops like a jeep tires should be replaced but still can be used for driving around town.
