UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5200

It seems the hood overhangs the grille a little more than I would think it should.  Not sure exactly why that is.  I also haven’t seen too many batteries mounted on the driver’s side.

UPDATE:  Still Available

A reader submitted this great find.  As the seller suggests, this looks pretty bone stock.  I can’t quite tell if the sides of the body are rusty or not.

Except for some minor issues, such as the bend in the hood at the middle and missing items from the dashboard, this looks pretty good.

“1953 Willys Jeep. 4×4, PTO driven winch, 3 speed on the floor. Army green, new seats, recently restored. Runs good, but could use a carb adjustment(will die if left to idle for more than a few minutes). Carport kept. Paint is good except flaking on hood. Great for camp, or just to play. I am posting for my boss, he just has no time for it. call scott (225)975-7787”

UPDATE:  The price has, inexplicably, gone up $2000 to $34,900 over the past month.

A reader reminded me that this is only 2 wheel drive and that it’s been for sale for a few years.  But, it’s a nice looking CJ-3B, so I thought it was worth posting.

UPDATE: The price on this was $800, which just goes to show that there are some great deals if you look hard enough ….

Here’s a CJ-3B parts jeep with a never-mounted replacement body.  This is definitely worth a look.

THANKS”

**SOLD**

UPDATE:  The price has dropped to $5000. This has been for sale since Aug.

This seller has installed a variety of new parts on this CJ-3B (and I think lists every single one in the ad).  Looks like the body’s in decent shape.  I’m thinking the seller was attempting to restore it, but now needs to sell it.

” Rebuilt engine, stock 134 Cu Inch F-Head, New spin on oil filter, New distributor, New water pump, Rebuilt radiator, New radiator hoses, Rebuilt starter, New exhaust system from manifold to tail pipe, New fuel tank, New fuel gauge sending unit, Rebuilt alternator, New turn signal device New parking brake cable, New parking brake shoes … ”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.

This is pretty beat up for a $1500 jeep.

“running gears, trany and rear end good,needs some motor and body work, hasn’t been started for a few years $1500”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.

“1947 willys with cj3b body civilian, 327 corvette engine, 4 speed muncie, overdrive, the new body hasn’t been cut or drilled for guages $2500.00. “

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.

The body of this CJ has some dings, but otherwise looks pretty good.

“Flat fender, high hood, runs, 4×4 works well, brand new wild cat agressive tires, front tow bar, brand new Yukon bench seat for the back with seat belts (camo), brand new camo front seat covers. Great hunting rig!!! Wind sheild lays down.”

There’s some rust on the body, but this looks like it’s a very stock, quite complete CJ-3B.  It might make a great restore project.  Note the other flattie to the right in the pic.

“This is a Willys cj3b jeep that I bought with the intention of restoring. I do not have a title for this vehicle. I will give a bill of sale. I believe this jeep could be restored. The running gear is complete. I have not tried to start the engine. I believe this jeep was used as a plow jeep. It does have rust mostly in the back sections. It has a factory hard top that is solid, and could be brought back to like new condition. It would make a great restore project.”

Here’s a project CJ-3B.  The pics don’t really show enough to know if this is a good deal or not.

“Selling my project 1964 cj3b. All parts are there and its all original except seats and wheels. No body rot but needs some sheetmetal work.Contact Scott@ (530)257-3630. $900.00 OBO”

This looks like a nice straight, non-abused CJ-3B.

All original CJ-3B with rebuilt engine. The body appears a bit rough in the pics and there appears to be rust along the passenger side.

GREAT DEAL”

This is a pretty high price for a project that still needs the engine rebuilt (among other things done).  I’m kind of wondering what part of this is rack n’ pinion.

“Must sell asap due to medical reasons. CJ3B High hood jeep. This is a project car and would be really nice once finished. Dana 60 rearend, front disc brakes, rack n pinion, top loader 4 speed, boxed frame, engine needs rebuilt 69 ford 302.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.

Here’s a solid looking CJ-3B.  No obvious rust, few noticable mods, and a straight body.

“I am selling a classic Willys CJ3-B from 1959 for $5500 OBO. The interior and engine are original and in good condition. The paint is a nice grey and in very good condition, just not the original any more.”

Not many specifics listed.  It appears mostly stock.  Only one pic in ad.

“For Sale – 1955 Willys Jeep with cover. It is a 3-speed with 4-wheel drive low. Brand new tires!”

http://desmoines.craigslist.org/cto/970684539.html

Can you tell what’s been done to this CJ-3B?  The builder has extended the front by 3″ – 6″, probably because they’ve dropped this body onto a longer frame (70’s cj-5 maybe?).

The image is small, so it’s hard to tell much.  There seems to be a slightly funky angle to that passenger fender near the step.
