The earliest of the 1953 CJ-3B models were produced in 1952, so I would expect this should have a very early serial number.

“The 1952 CJ3B was the first year of the CJ3B series and this is one of only 2360 (amc records) that were made in 1952.
Pros:
-) Runs Strong
-) Brakes gone through and work great
-) Shifts smoothly
-) Clean title
-) 4wd works
-) Solid floors
-) New fuel lines
-) Carb cleaned
-) Original F-134 Motor
-) Original T-90 Transmission
-) Original Dana-18 Transfer Case
-) Original Frame and Body
-) No rusting through
-) Body-Off bed line and paint
-) Good Glass

Cons:
-) Needs a clutch (willing to fix)
-) Body has bondo
-) Needs a battery
-) Windshield frame is bent a little (again, willing to fix)

Willing to deliver to states near Wisconsin!
Price negotiable, make me an offer.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $1500.

It’s a project. Seller will go lower on the price.

“Runs and Drives! Original motor from what I can find online. Has PTO winch on the front which alone is worth $500. I have a new steering wheel for it. It fires up great with a few squirts of starter fluid and then purrs like a kitten, that doesn’t have an exhaust pipe. So like a big sick kitten. Brakes dont work, but who needs those anyway? It has a set of tire chains and the original little leather bag that was under the front seat. That alone is worth the money im sure! Body has minor signs of sitting in the forest for 40 years. So that being said, its a little rusty. ITS A PROJECT. That’s what I got it for and thus with many of us who buy these things with hopes of turning it into the beauty she once was, alas I must send her on to the next wisher. So if you think you’re up for the task, make an offer. I set the price high because i’m not interested in talking to people who aren’t serious.”

It has some updates and is missing a speedometer.

“I regretfully have to liquidate one of my all time favorite toys ive ever owned. My 1954 CJ3B high good willy’s Jeep. Very loud, very fast off the line very very fun.

UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $2500.

(11/17/2017) Are those scratches or patches along the sides? I think patches?

“Family owned for 40 years. 21,000 miles. Stored inside. Solid frame. Runs. New gas tank. No brakes.”

This one has potential.

“1954 willys, New tires, new carb,new brakes all around, new master cylinder, electronic ignition (no points),new gas tank

Travis spotted this project/parts vehicle.

“Willy’s CJ-3B with a 283 Chevy motor for sale. Not sure of the year and I do not have a title for it. This is a project vehicle. The frame is good, but the body needs to be replaced. Not sure the condition of the motor. Has an adapter bell housing to mate the Chevy motor to the Jeep transmission. It also has a cradle motor mount on the front of the engine. Complete Jeep ready to be restored.”

No pics provided.

“I’m selling my ’54 Willys CJ-3B. Engine is a Chevy 350. Runs great. 3-speed T-90 transmission. Everything shifts smooth. Top speed is around 50-55mph. Tires are 32×11.5 BF Goodrich in like new condition. Miles are unknown, as the odometer does not work. VIN on body and frame matches. Body is fairly clean considering its age. New battery. 12 volt electrical. Drum brakes. Soft top is in decent shape. Smog exempt. Registration is up to date. Includes tow bar and lights.

This jeep was well cared for. I’ve owned it for a little more than a year, and haven’t had any issues with it. Unfortunately, my plans changed and I need to part ways.”

https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/d/jeep-1954-willys-cj-3b-high/6428824221.html

Includes a rear PTO. Engine is frozen.

“This is one of the straightest original 3b models I have seen. The floorboards are solid as well as the body. Its complete besides the top. Great rest project or build a nice restomod. Been in a barn for 29 years. Has a rear pto that was used to run a brush hog on a ranch. Motor is frozen but all there”

UPDATE: **SOLD** $6200 on eBay

Nick’s got this twin-stick-PTO 3B for auction on eBay. He’s included a couple good shots of the PTO lever (not many of these around any more) and the crankshaft mechanism that operates the winch.

“For sale is a great representation of the Willys CJ3B. This is Jeep has an original body with factory twin-stick Ramsey PTO.
Clear and modern title.

The Jeep runs, drives at 60 mph, and stops. Even in 20 degree weather it starts right up. I drove the Jeep on a few 1+ hour trips without flaw. Clutch works and shifts gears smoothly. High/low range works. Rear PTO works great, needs a driveshaft for the winch. The shaft on the passenger floor controls the winch in/out direction. Two shifters between the seats engage the winch/PTO box. Rear PTO box can be attached to various agricultural equipment.

Good: Overall good condition with original parts. Body doesn’t have any patch panels and still has the side drain holes. Tires are pretty new. Original 6V system. Jeep is ready to be enjoyed.
Bad: Engine has minor smoke, needs lights/heater hooked up.

It has a Koenig 100R winch, which connects to the engine via crankshaft. This means all the parts are present to operate the winch. The passenger lever is the engage/disengage.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.

It’s rough.

“No motor or tranny
Lots of parts
Radiator in place
Clean title”
