Police CJ-3B in Ocean’s Eleven

I have to say, I’m really enjoying my DVR.  It used to be that I would just channel surf during commericals just to see what is play.  Now, being the sophisticated DVRer that I am,  I can channel surf forward in time (which exponentially increases the time I can waste channel surfing) and then record shows that I might want to watch.

One of the shows I found, and recorded, was the original Ocean’s Eleven, which played recently on the Turner Classic Movie Channel.  I have to say that I thought it was a pretty good movie; it was also a great look at the Vegas of the 1950s.

Near the end of the movie, I spotted the Police CJ-3B shown below.  Unfortunately, the CJ-3B was a background piece, so there weren’t any really good shots of it.  I tried to figure out what the wording was along the hood — I don’t think it says “Las Vegas Police Force”.

1955 CJ-3B Walworth, WI **SOLD**

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4750.

This looks like a nice Jeep.  Apparently, it was formerly owned by a fire department.

In the pictures of the Willys, the paint has those spots on it because we had taken it out of the garage for pictures & we had a light shower that left spots in the dust from sitting inside… This is my own personal Willys (JEEP), it has a 4 cylinder OHV motor, three speed trans., its a 4X4 (four wheel drive), it has always been stored inside when not in use… It has 4 new tires, rebuilt motor, newer top, ran when put away, but has been stored for over 2 years in my garage because I can no longer drive a vehicle with a clutch (see the last picture for the reason I cant drive it anymore)… I have a new 6 volt battery that goes with it, as the one in the Jeep will no longer take a charge from sitting… The Jeep is in very nice shape, its been used, so there are some nicks, dings, scrapes, normal signs of use on the Exterior (nothing too ugly, see pictures), the Interior is in very nice condition for a 55 year old Utility Vehicle… It has been painted a Dark Blue & I am not sure if that was a Factory Color, but it looks okay & covered pretty well, the seats look like they have been recovered & are in good condition… There is very little rust, no holes that we can see, underside looks like it was undercoated MANY years ago… Due to the fact its been sitting for over two (2) years, and I cant do any work to it, like change the battery, drain the old gas & oil, Im leaving that up to the Buyer to do… It has approx. 37,000? miles on the Odometer, much less on the rebuild of the motor… This Willys was previously owned by the Chicago Fire department, and was well maintained… As the Jeep is 55 years old, there is no warranty, and its being sold in as-is condition… Ask Questions, send your Phone Number & I will call you ASAP!!! Thanks for Looking at my Willys…

The seller is in Utah, but the Jeep is in Idaho.  This looks good.

“1954 Willys Jeep CJ-3B.  This is a clean, good running, original Willys Jeep.  It has the original “Go Devil” engine which has been rebuilt.  It runs and drives well and has been used very little over the past 20 years.  It has excellent tires, the four wheel drive works as it should, and it is rust free.  The jeep is stored in a heated garage and it has a clear title.  It even has the original owner’s manual.  I have super-sized the photos for clear viewing.

1947 CJ-3B Eagle, ID **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.

I check out this jeep today, though didn’t drive it.  This is an interesting build. It appears to have a boxed-in CJ-5 frame and gas tank, with out-boarded rear springs.  The front springs appear stock.  This has both power brakes and power steering, with the power steering unit nicely installed (in other words, someone knew what they were doing).  The grill has a thin strip added to is so it could be extended forwards about 2 inches, though not one my favorite mods, it was done neatly.  The tines have been removed from the Grille and the radiator is right up against it.

I think the body is actually the front of the one body and the back of another body, which explains the seam in the side.  The hat channels appear in good shape.  The side steps have been cut a little as part of the joining process, however, I think a buyer could put some diamond plating side pieces that will nicely hide all that. The dash sports the single later model CJ-3B speedometer. The body has been lifted about 1-2″ off the frame.

This has a single lever transfercase with the turbo tranny.  It also has a Pontiac(?) center console of some kind.  The top looks to be in good condition.  This has a roll bar, though the tube might be 3″ tubing. The jeep has mud guards on the driver’s side, but are missing them on the passenger side.

With some body work, this would probably be a good runner.  So, 1947 is as accurate as any other year for this build.

This looks like a good price.  If you want me to look at it, let me know.”

Ready to go Camping ….

UPDATE:  I did a little more research and finally found this photo at the CJ-3B Page.  There is a complete discussion of the history of the CJ-3B, including a note that the CJ-3B has a custom body extension and a Sears top was purchased that was also custom extended. It’s a good story to read.

I’m not sure where this image might have originated, but I spotted it at expeditionportal.com.

Year? CJ-3B Tippecanoe, OH **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Auctioned.

There are a couple interesting issues with this CJ-3B.  First, note the unusual windshield, which almost appears chopped down.  Second, note the fenders; These just don’t look quite right.  I’m even wondering if they are plywood?

The image below does provide a pretty good shot of that left front frame rail and it looks pretty clean, suggesting the frame is in really good shape.  The body also looks pretty straight, which adds to my confusion about the fenders.

Hein’s Updated Electronics re-Power his F-head ….

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

I received an email from Hein a few days ago regarding his CJ-3B.  His email is a good reminder that if your engine lacks power, you might consider improving the electronics.  Thanks for sharing!

Hein writes, “Since the rebuild last-year,  I have been putting-off the replacement of the hand-brake cable.  So a call to Marathon-Spares (in Australia) was way overdue! While ordering these spares I had a chat with Neil about my rough running engine, thinking I should get a new set of points and condensor as well as bushes, cap etc for the distributor.

He told me he had just replaced the motor in his MB with a Toyota 2.4, because it is used as a daily-driver and advertising for his business, so he offered me the complete Dizzy out of his motor for a mere $75! Needless to say I didn’t hesitate a moment to include that in the package as well.  The interesting bit is that it is a solid-state unit requiring a Electronic-coil and the removal of the wound-wire ballast-resistor (we had to get a Auto-Electrician in to help with the wiring bit), but the result could not have been more Amazing!!!

Suddenly, it felt like I had replaced the whole motor ! The old F-head had so much more punch that it blew out the rusty spots on the muffler, so just yesterday I replaced the whole system with a slightly larger-diametre complete Stainless-Steel system, which not only further enhanced the performance but also gave the old-girl a distincly cocky snarl too.  I don’t think I am exagerating if I say the combination must have increased overall output by between 30 and 5o%! Other than finding a completely new one that was preserved in a time-capsule somewhere, this must be as close to driving one straight off the dealers floor in ’53 as you can come today.  I won’t even trade it for one of those brand-new Icon Replicas now, although I wouldn’t mind having one of them as a daily-driver too?”

Hein’s CJ-3B has been featured at the CJ-3B Page.
