1954 CJ-3B Bend, OR **SOLD**

UPDATE: Was $3950. **SOLD**

(12/06/2014) It might be worth a look.

“My ’54 is numbers-matching and pretty much all original from stem to stern. It has 66764 miles and has spent all it’s life in Montana and Oregon. It has been driven a mere 1800 miles since 1993. It is equipped with a Koenig Model 330 all-steel cab and Koenig PTO King Winch Model 151J (the PTO is not connected for some reason). And it has a HEATER!!

The engine runs well. 6V battery is new. Clutch, exhaust, shocks, tires, and brakes have low miles on them– however due to lack of use the brakes need some attention. I added fluid and replaced both front brake hoses– and then the weather hit and I set the project aside. Lights also want a little help. Gauges mostly work. One broken piece of (flat) cab glass left-rear.

The Jeep was originally red. At some point it was re-painted red by hand and has great patina. Yes, there is rust– but I’m going to call it ‘average’. Oregon title is clean.
I can send pix– but come take a look! I’m just west of Pilot Butte….”

Marc pointed out that these soldiers are wearing British style helmets. It also looks like one of the jeeps doesn’t have a glove box, indicating it is possibly a slat grille. I did a couple searches, but couldn’t locate the Grand Hotel Du Pacifique.

“WWII U.S. ARMY PHOTO OF MB GPW JEEPS WITH 37MM GUN AND 1 1/2 TON CHEVY 4X4 TRUCK. This is a (U.S. ARMY SIGNAL CORPS) photo copy made from the original negative at the National Archives 25 years ago. This is a nice sharp 8″ x 10″ in excellent condition.”

UPDATE: Was $5000. **SOLD**

It’s called the “Biff Bus”.

“1963 Jeep Fleet Van FJ3-A. Cute as can be, very rare, and a great conversation piece! Many people have stopped and asked me what kind of vehicle it is! 15 years ago it had a 1973 4 cylinder Pinto 2.0 engine transplant, and in 2007 a professionally rebuilt transmission by Marty’s Transmission of Portland. I have owned it for 28 years and have driven it very little since 2007 and did use it for an ice cream truck for about 7 years, and it has been in several parades. Its size is 12 ft. long, 5 ft. wide, and 7 ft. tall. The reason for selling it is that I have to find a happy new home for my beloved Biff Bus, as it is affectionately called. It has power brakes, an electric cooling fan for the engine, a nice array of marker and clearance lights, and a cassette car stereo. Some things on it that need work are: it needs a new alternator, has a little surface rust on the side and rear doors, and it needs new tags. $5,000 firm and no trades.”
