UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15,000

Though listed on ebay, this is a buy-it-now sale rather than an auction.  No doubt there’s been money invested into this jeep.  It’s certainly interesting.

“Classic 1954 Willys CJ3B.  All facets just mechanically upgraded/restored. Completely rebuilt Buick 225 V-6 with headers and new mufflers.  100lb flywheel and new clutch. New alternator. New starter. Late model ford 4 speed compound low. Dana rear 44 with Detroit Locker. Dana 30 front with ARB air locker in box ready for install and already pre-wired with air compressor and tank installed. 4 wheel disk brakes…….”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.

This is a good looking CJ-3B with some important extras (OD and better brakes).

“1953 Willys CJ3B, V6, power steering, overdrive, hubs, oversized breaks, new tires, also includes spear tire/gas can rack still in box and misc. parts, good condition.”

This is a nice rollcage.  The seller suggests it could be used on other flatfenders, but the bends in the front near the dash would look a little odd for low hood flatties.

“For sale roll cage only. fits cj3b high hood, powder coated, with full sand pad on the top. plenty strong. may fit other flat fenders? 600.00 obo”

Obviously there is surface rust, however I suspect most of it isn’t too deep. It’s got some nice updates, including updated steering and column, new top, winch, and tires/rims.

“1953 Willys Jeep CJ-3B. This jeep has been built for 4-wheeling and is ready for your next Moab adventure.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5250.

On my way to look at the jeep in Wallowa, I spotted this jeep just outside of La Grande, Or.  Apparently, it is all stock except for the tires, top and brakes.   However, I noticed that the front bumper has been chopped to the width of the frame, so I suspect there might be a few other minor changes as well.

I’ve included several pics below (it was behind a fence, so my image options were limited).

I can’t tell if it is running.  No specifics listed.  However, the body looks very straight.  It appears to me to be a great deal.”

UPDATE:  This has been relisted on eBay

It looks like it is sporting some newer springs with some lift, but otherwise is pretty stock.  Appears in very good shape as does the trailer.

“This Jeep is in excellent condition! I was going to use this for mountain fun, but decided it was in to good of shape because it is vintage.  It runs great and I have had no problems with it. Does leak a little oil. Very quiet and clean! There is a scratch in the paint on the hood. I tried to show this as best I could in the pictures. I bought it from a retired gentleman that had restored it and kept it in garage and so have I.

It’s listed at $3500, but James noted the seller will take $3000.  I can’t see any major issues from the pics.

Note the indents on the passenger side.  This is likely a reproduction body.  Seems like a pretty good price.

How about this great looking CJ-3B with only 32K miles.  Looks pretty stock.

UPDATE: SOLD, but not picked up yet …

I think there is lots of life left in this CJ-3B, as much of it looks straight and in good condition. However, I would like a closer look at the front bumper area, as that bumper angles a little bit too much.

“I’m selling this 1953 Willys Jeep CJ3B for a friend and neighbor of mine. He’s drove it for as is for a long time. In December last year he pulled the stock T90 transmission to rebuild it as it sometimes popped out of third gear when accelerating. A huge storm hit, dumping so much snow it crushed his garage barely missing the Jeep. Would be a very good, inexpensive project for the right person. I will try to be as detailed and candid as possible but feel free to ask questions and I will answer as quickly as I can. Has a 289 Ford small block under the hood, add a battery, antifreeze and its a runner again. Has been converted to Saginaw steering, with column, box etc. steers easy. Stock running gear behind the engine, T90, spicer 18, stock axles etc. Still has good brakes, has only been sitting since Christmas rather than years in a back field like so many out there…”
