UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.

It runs.  It drives.  It looks like a deal to me!

“53 Willys CJ3B Runs and drives. This was sitting for a long time in Calif. before I acquired it. Rebuilt carb, fuel tank, and started. It needs lots of work, but should make a fun rig on the farm or for hunting. asking $2000.00 but offers considered.”

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.”

UPDATE:  Price dropped to $7000

(02/13/2010) It looks very stock and appears to have no rust.  Some paint would really help this shine.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was sold at auciton.

This is a CJ-3B with a PTO that will be auctioned May 15th.

“PREVIEW: Friday, May 14th from 1- 5PM | Saturday, May 15th from 8 – 10AM.  Auction will be held on Saturday, May 15th at 10AM.”

It might make a good project.

“I am selling my ’63 CJ 3B because I was hoping to have it for a restoration project, but as you all know sometimes life gets in the way. I’ve owned it for 7 years and it has just sat, the engine has run in the past five years or so. It’s all factory. In the pictures the doors are off of it they way they were when I bought it and have been kept in my garage. The frame is solid, and the worst part of the body is the hood. It still retains the original firewall VIN plate and I have a clean, clear Maryland Title. This is a really great starting platform. I wish I could keep it. Looking for $2000. I am in Silver Spring, MD just outside of Washington, DC.”

I called and spoke to Mark about this jeep.  He noted the driver’s side floorboards were especially bad.  He feels strongly that this CJ will start if it get’s some fresh gas and oil.  Apparently, this was used at the local airport for years.
