UPDATE: **SOLD**  Was $3900.

Don noted that this was for sale in March and included a plow. The plow has been removed and now the jeep is up for sale again.

This has a newer motor. It runs and drives.

“1953 Willys Jeep CJ3B Has 2.3L Ford 4cyl engine swap. Well done swap, runs smooth and is very reliable. Has new plugs, wires, air and oil filters. Engine is mated to the stock 3spd manual tranny and transfer case. Power steering was added as well as a tilt steering column. 4wd works very well and has brand new lockouts. 

The entire frame has been boxed and is extremely solid. Entire chassis was painted when disassembled. Has new front and rear leafsprings and hardware. This Jeep is very tight and goes down the road straight. Tires are in excellent shape.

All the gauges work as well as the high/low beam headlights and rear turn signals/brake lights. Has a functioning heater as well as a working windshield wiper

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4650.

This jeep is capable of carrying a lot!

“Awesome deer lease Jeep! I bought this instead of a UTV. 
Lots of work done to this. Parts widely available. Easy to work on. 
Runs like a dream. This is ready to go hunting today. It’s registered as an antique vehicle and could be street legal (not safe) in a day. 
All 3 of my kids learned to drive a standard on this and work on it including my 14 year old daughter. 
I don’t want to sell but am being forced to clear out the toys due to finances.”

I believe this runs. It has a military passenger fender. It’s got a nice cage. And it has an overdrive. It’s worth a look for sure. Not a great description.

“Run 3speed”

I emailed the seller of this and asked for some pics or a chance to go see this one. I wanted to learn if this was a Bobcat or Parkette body. I got a response to my first email, but am still awaiting a second one.
