UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500

This looks in good shape.  Those square parking lights just don’t work for me though.

“Hard Top and Doors. Runs Good!”

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was $7500.

(06/08/2012) This looks nice.  I wonder if it includes a M-606 designation on the data plate or VIN.  I suspect that’s a replacement body, too.

“1966 Jeep CJ3B. This is a very rare military version classified as an M606 with factory 225 V6. It does not have any Willy’s stampings on body because it was built after Willys was sold out.

“First the back story:  I plow snow with a 94 wrangler and had an older farmer friend for a customer. After completing a job, he mentioned he had an old jeep in his barn but hadn’t run it for years. Enter the 63 cj-3b you see here. We worked out a deal and I bought the jeep.  The jeep was in solid shape, except for the floors which sat under a roof leak. After a little work the motor fired right up. I have rebuilt a cj-5 and two cj-7’s but always had an eye for the high hood  cj-3b. I was going to modernize it as much as possible, to make it more road worthy on today’s roads, (v-6 motor, steering upgrade, brakes and such). But after doing the research on the history of the cj-3b and the good running condition that this one was in I couldn’t bring myself to alter it. So… I have restored it to as close to original as I could.

The body was completely disassembled steam cleaned and media blasted. The body was rebuilt as needed to original specs with all brackets and braces and spot welds as they should be. There are no welded over patches or body putty. The floors and box bed were replaced, and are exactly as they should be. The windshield is new as are the rubber gaskets. The body was painted plantation white as the paint code shows (actually the same paint mix with the right amount of flattening agent). The trim code showed a red that jeep (from research) used to paint fire vehicles, and upon cleaning the overly painted wheels red was the first color that they were painted. It also has a heater and defroster and two working vacuum windshield wipers .  New gas tank and cap and sending unit. The hood is nice and flat.

The frame was and is solid was no needed boxing or reinforcement. It was sand blasted and covered with por-15 frame paint.

The running gear was also steam cleaned and painted with por-15 frame or engine paint.  The transmission, transfer case, and front and rear diffs., were opened cleaned and inspected and resealed and filled with proper fluids. The motor ran fine for the two years I drove it. The compression was checked and was in the proper range, so I couldn’t see the benefit of taking it apart and rebuilding an already fine running motor. The carburetor was rebuilt, new plugs and wires new coil and the distributor was also rebuilt. The motor starts right up and runs smoothly. The tires are like new. Radiator flushed , new hoses.

Brakes were totally rebuilt with proper new steel lines and hoses, new brake linings wheel cylinders and master cylinder. Also new emergency brake lining.

A new wiring harness was installed with all clips and grommets. It was purchased from Carl Walck. All lights and signals and horn work as they should. All switches and dash knobs are new. As are throttle and choke cables.

The seats were rebuilt using as close to the original material as I could find. The stitch pattern is the same as the original seats.

All nuts and bolts were also replaced with stainless or grade 8.

A Meyers half top also goes with sale. The farmer had it but never installed it. I wet sanded it so it is ready for paint or polishing. The top is in excellent condition with no dings or dents.  Four tires with  wagon wheels also goes with sale.

For some reason there was no emergency handle with the jeep and I couldn’t find one, everything is there except the handle and cable. I have an under dash unit from a cj-5 that can be used but it wasn’t original so I didn’t install it. Your choice to use it.

This has been a long winded description, but I wanted everyone to know what you are bidding on.  I would recommend  trailering it home  if you are not familiar with the 3b it is geared extremely low and is wound out about 50 mph. Great for around town, not so much for open highway.  Also the top and tires would not be able to mount on the jeep. Thank you and happy bidding.”

UPDATE: Was $6500.

(06/07/2012) This looks like a nice rig.  The later model CJ-3Bs rarely pop up for sale.  Over the last four years I’ve spotted around 10 1965 CJ-3Bs on Craigslist.  Only 3 of them were stock and this nice.  This is missing the spare tire holder on the passenger side.

“1965 Jeep Willy’s CJ3: ALL ORIGINAL, NEW TOP, FULLY RESTORED, ALL ENGINE AND ACCESORIES REBUILT AND RUNS EXCELLENT!!! THIS JEEP IS READY TO DRIVE HOME AND FIRES RIGHT UP WITH THE TWIST OF A KEY, ALL PAINT INSIDE AND OUT LOOKS BRAND NEW, NO RUST AND OVERALL VERY GOOD CONDITION. 4X4 WORKS GREAT AND THIS MODEL IS THE ONE WITH A PTO TRANSFER CASE TO ADD ATTACHMENTS TO (POST HOLE DIGGER, GENERATOR, SAW MILL, ETC. ETC.) ALL THE COOL THINGS JEEP MADE FOR THIS HANDY LITTLE TRUCK! WOULD SUGGEST TRAILERING IF YOU PLAN ON DRIVING FAR DUE TO THE FACT THESE DO NOT GO VERY FAST ON THE HIGHWAY, BUT IT DOES DRIVE NICE AND STRAIGHT WITH PLENTY OF POWER!”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3800.

Looks good for the price.  The winch sure looks wimpy.

“For sale is a 1958 willys CJ3B 4cyl engine and original drive train. The body was worked on over 20 years ago.It came from Colorado in 1990 and has been in WI since”

This could use some polish, but looks solid and stock.
