Year? CJ-3B Alachua, Fl eBay

This is a no reserve auction with a starting price of $600.  It appears there is $600 worth of value here.

“Has new leaf springs and shocks. Leafs were put over axles to lift jeep.  Reinforcement will be needed for steering from leaf over axle change.  Changed from manual fuel pump to electric fuel pump.  Engine runs but needs fuel pump modification for correct fuel intake.  I did drive jeep before parking 3 years ago.  I just don’t have the time to keep the project going.”

This is pretty rough, but is a no reserve auction.

“1962 Willy Jeep for restoration. I believe it is a CJ3B flat finder, high hood. It has a clear title and ran before it was put in storage. The transmision and four wheel drive were all working how ever the motor is now stuck. Body has rust and a few holes but the mount and frame are good. The floor board has only a few small holes but the bottom of the bed is gone. The top is good and it has doors as well. Most of the glass is bad or gone. I put lub in the cyclinders and I’m sure you can get the motor to run.There is no reserve and must be paid for at end of sale and pick up with in 30 days Thanks.”

‘1971’ CJ-3B Battle Ground, WA **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500

(04/29/2010) This is CJ-3B on top and ’71 CJ-5 on the bottom.  The front shackles have been reversed.  Much more done as well (the seller provides a very long description in the Ad).

“What I have is a CJ3B siting on a 1971 CJ5 Frame, so it has been titled as a 71 CJ3B. It has a strong running Buick 225 V6 Oddfire, T18 4spd transmission with granny 1st. and new clutch, Fresh rebuilt Dana 20 transfer case, newer drivelines and U-Joints, open knuckle Dana 30 front with disk breaks (no locker), Dana 44 rear with welded spiders, Front shackle conversion, Rancho lift springs (sprung under axle), Powder Coated black custom front and rear bumpers, Hi-Lift mount on rear with storage rack, SW guages (fuel, amps, oil, water temp, tachometer all work fine) Speedometer gear just went out so it needs replacing on the transfer case otherwise it works fine, has brand new cable. Lights and signals works perfect, even hazards. Brakes are great, 4×4 works flawlessly. Solid body and frame. Frame has been braced in the weak spots. Good 32×9.50 TSL’s on black steel wheels with allot of offset to keep the tires out further, it will fit 35’s with a shackle lift…..”

1969 CJ-3B Fayetteville, NC **SOLD**

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

UPDATE:  a reader reports this is sold. Was for sale for $8k.

I’m gonna guess that this is a rare 1968 CJ-3B titled as a 1969, as I believe ’68 was the last production year.

“1969 willys Jeep. Professionally built 302 engine mileage in picture is actuall miles on the engine. 3 speed manual transmission. High and low range 4-wheel drive w/lock in hubs. Has been rebuilt as a project looking to sell so I can buy another one and rebuild it. You can email me for more pictures.”

1953 CJ-3B Rockville, MD **SOLD**

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

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….”

1959 CJ-3B San Diego, Ca $2500

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

The price looks great on this.  That said, many people don’t know that these were used during the war of 1959, a little known war pitting the Federalists vs. the Occupationists …

This is a very cool Vintage Willy’s Jeep. These were used during the war. Willing to consider a trade for a motorcycle (NO dirt bikes, street legal only please!). Contact me more complete details on the Willy’s. It does need some TLC and general clean-up since it has not been driven much. Carburator and brakes need work, tires and body are in good condition.”

Autoblog.com Reviews Icon’s CJ-3B

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

I ran across this January 2010 review from Autoblog.com of the Icon CJ-3B yesterday.  The author simply gushes over this vehicle, arguing that this vehicle really is worth $50,000 more than the $21,000 wrangler.

Here are some excerpts:

At this point we normally pose a question – something like, “Is the Icon CJ3B worth $50,000 more than a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon?” But here’s the thing, after a few hours of exposure to the CJ3B, it’s unquestionably worth the money. That’s right, we’re just going to start the review with the conclusion, then explain exactly why this little Icon is so darn special. And believe us, the CJ3B is exceptionally special.

Take Icon’s latest model, the all new CJ3B. Based off the 1953 Willys CJ3B (Icon amazingly holds the rights to the name), [head designer] Ward explains that the design ethos of the old Willys Jeeps was longevity, simplicity and utility. Not only does Ward appreciate these qualities, but he finds them “Sorely lacking from the current automotive industry.”

The EcoTec motor emits less pollutants during a full day of driving than a 1953 Willys CJ3B does just sitting and venting gasoline fumes. As Ward explained, Icon is such a low volume producer that they’re exempt from smog laws. They just happen to run O2 sensors and catalytic converters because they want to. Ward plans to eventually offer the CJ3B in not only a diesel version, but full electric as well.

1953 CJ-3B Milton, Vt $2000

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

The body is a bit rough.

’54 CJ3B. Rebuilt F-head engine,with very low hours/miles. Mechanically this Jeep has been 90% restored. Besides the rebuilt engine it has:  New fuel tank and fuelpump. Rebuilt carb. New radiator and waterpump,new coolant hoses. New brakes all around: shoes,hoses,whl. cylinders,etc. This has been a restoration project for me,I don’t have the time needed to finish.It was converted from six to 12 volt electric at some point. Starts and runs great,all the gauges work. Tires are good. It needs attention to the body next and a new wiring harness. Someone before me put diamond plate steel on driver and passenger floors,patched up body in numerous places. Would probably be best to replace the “tub”. Top is ok,could use some sewing along roof seams.You can use this in the woods as it is or continue with the restoration. Asking $2000.00 Call 802-343-0112 or reply to ad. If it is still on here, it is still for sale.”
