UPDATE:  Pictures have been provided.  It looks like the body is a replacement body.  The outside looks great.

This is a bit much for a non-runner.

“This ol’ Jeep is a rare one. I bought it from a collector in Salem Oregon. It was recently brought to Portland.  The rear pto is a great conversation peice and was opporational when the motor was in the Jeep. This Jeep has a clear title and would make a great next project. The 283 Chev motor is removed and in need  of a rebuild and the seat frames and cushions need to be replaced. I’ve listed details that are included below…..”

UPDATE:  Dan reports that he purchased this CJ-3B (was selling for $1100).  Two weeks later it is running.  Sounds like he got a good deal.

“I WANT TO BE VERY SPECIFIC ON THIS JEEP, ITS NOT ONE YOU CAN JUMP IN AND DRIVE AWAY IN, I BOUGHT IT WITH THE INTENTION OF RESTORING IT, THIS JEEP HAD THE ENGINE REBUILT 3/20/05 FOR A PRICE OF $982, AND HAS NOT BEEN RUN SINCE THEN, IT NEEDS A DISTRIBUTOR TO GET GOING, I HAVE THE RECIEPT FOR THIS REBUILD, IT WAS DONE IN SOUTH CAROLINA AND THE JEEP WAS TOWED HERE AFTER THAT WHEN THE OWNER MOVED TO KNOXVILLE …”

Brian pointed this one out to me.  There’s a pic of the hudson steering as well.

“I’m posting my flatty for sale. Its a Jeep CJ3B. The condition its in is ‘rough’ but workable. It drives great; just needs a little tlc. Here’s the meat:  She’s been converted to a straight 6 232 engine, which made for some interesting modifications. Wild Bill was apparently the guy that did it, if that means anything to you. Its got a t-90 with factory overdrive and factory PTO with the winch. The winch has a broken foot, but the mechanism works fine. This jeep has a hudson steering conversion….”

“I’m moving in a couple of months and am looking to sell my 1959 Willy’s Jeep, model CJ3B. Rust free, with a four inch lift, new Ground Hawg 6 ply tires (14/35/15). The engine is a 231 Buick V6 with Heddman Headers. The Jeep comes with a vinyl top and original seat frames that have been re-upholstered, the tool box is also in excellent shape.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.

This look solid and pretty stock.

“Unrestored, original 26K miles, 1955 Willy’s CJ3B Jeep.  The original owner was a doctor who bought the jeep as a hunting rig in 1955. The second owner purchased it for the same purpose, hunting. He had his mechanic look it over prior to each season. 3-4 years ago he stopped hunting and parked it. As a precaution, I oiled the cylinders and it turned freely. I bought it intending to restore it, but find I do not have the time. I was told it needed brakes. It has 16″ military tires on it which are in good condition. Tow bar is included. I am asking 3,000.00 O.B.O. No e-mails.”

The images are a bit tiny to tell much.  I’m not a big fan of the paint job, but other than that this might not be a bad price.

“1953 CJ3B Navy Jeep. Still has Navy ID and information tag on the dash. Jeep is in fantastic mechanical condition. It is currently titled & licensed and I drive it daily. Does not use oil or smoke. Motor and drive train work flawlessly except for 2nd gear. Like 75% of old jeeps, it pops out of 2nd gear when decellerating. Odometer only shows 2870 miles and it works, but I can not verify that those are the correct miles. Brakes stop it straight and fast. All turn signals and lights work. Has been converted to 12volts. Has 4 new military type non directional tires on 16″ stock rims. The spare is a newer 16″ rough tread on a split rim wheel. All guages work. Has lock out hubs & a tow bar. Call 740-448-2600 if you have any questions. Thank you.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.

This is a nice looking CJ-3B, but what’s going on with the rear springs?

“1964 CJ3B Jeep runs & drives – 4X4 works – has F134 motor, an extra transfer case, and a metal top with doors. Will take $3,500.00 OBO.”

UPDATE: Was $2995. **SOLD**

The seller lists this as a 1953 GB2.  I thought that was a mistake until I did a search and discovered that this probably means this jeep is part of the second round of serials numbers for CJ-3Bs.  In other words, it’s a pretty early CJ-3B.

“1953 Willys GB2. B style so room for new engine. 12 Volt System. Valve stuck in the original flat head. Tranny, lock outs, and diff good shape. Good wheels and tires. I don’t have time to rebuild. Great project. Licensed as collectable. $2,995 or BO.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

Here’s the first jeep I’ve ever featured from Puerto Rico and what a beauty it is.

“For Auction Beautifull 1960 Jeep Willys, it has been in the family since new, only one owner. It was recently restore by professionals. Everything in great working conditions.

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was No Price

The body looks a little beat up.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $12,500.

This has some great upgrades, though it’s a little high for my tastes.

“Just prior to this sale all systems of this Jeep were gone through by a professional mechanic who made sure everything is working perfectly.  This work included a new turn signal switch and a new electric windshield wiper motor on the driver’s side.  The passenger side has the original hand operated windshield wiper. ….  The drive train is all original and in very good working condition. A Petronix electronic distributor keeps the 134 CID engine running smooth and strong with less maintenance. The transmission and transfer case work perfectly….”

I’m just not sure what this is, but the pinto engine + header might not be a bad price.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500

It appears someone got a good deal on a parts jeep or project.  This sold very quickly.

“The Good – 53 willys Jeep, late 60’s Olds V-6 motor – the motor and drivetrain seems tight and good. It is complete, was driven until 2000. Will need to be thoroughly checked out after being parked for so long. Rollbar is in good shape. Have the original owners Oregon Title, I got the vehicle from her son when I bought his house. The bad – no keys, the throttle pedal needs to be re-attached to floorboard, did I mention the brakes – need rebuild. Kids shot the windshield glass w/BB gun 2×3 times, tires are OLD, will probably need a distributor. It needs seats, the old seats are trashed. It has some cancer, but the diamond plate covers it well.”

UPDATE: Price dropped to $1250

“1958 Willys CJ3B. Runs. 32″ Coopers. Superlift suspension, lock out hubs. Needs a little TLC Email: cpc69@aol.com Phone: 860-455-1013”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

This is nicely ‘restored’, but there is some customization.  The body is an aftermarket body and the builder added a few modern updates to the dash, including the radio.  It appears to have a nice PTO setup.

“I am listing this Jeep for a friend of mine. This Jeep was a maintenance vehicle at the Federal center in Colorado all of its life until the restoration. I assume this is a willies, but not sure. It has been in numerous car shows and always draws a crowd. This Jeep features: Frame off restoration, New Dual, Exhaust, New tires, New top, Chevy V6 motor, Power Take off, 8000lb winch, 4 wheel drive, runs like new… Please call Don with any questions.”

UPDATE:  The seller still needs to sell this by this weekend (it’s been two months of the same story).  Also, the phone number has changed.  More pics.

“must sell hit me with your best offers/leave number and i will call you back (702-280-9729) must sell this weekend ”

UPDATE:  Status unknown. The price had dropped to $2500.  The seller included an overdrive with the cj3b.

The license plates suggest this jeep is from Colorado, though I don’t have any record of this being for sale recently.  It looks pretty solid.
