UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
“You are bidding on a frame off completely restored Willys CJ3b. This jeep is a 1954 CJ3b that was totally stripped down to the bare frame. The frame was media blasted,primed and the painted in semi gloss black. NOS front and rear springs were the added along with totally reconditioned front and rear axles and differentials. All seals and bearings were replaced. The brake system was rebuilt with new wheel cylinders, new master cylinder and new brake shoes. All new brake lines were authentically reproduced and routed. The front kingpins were replaced with NOS units. New rirs were primed and painted in original air force “strata” blue paint and new military non-directional tires installed.
The engine, transfer case and transmission were totally disassembled and proffesionally rebuilt by “Army Jeep Parts” of Levittown Pa. An Nos distributor, rebuilt starter and generator were installed as well as a new water pump. A new fuel pump and new gas tank were installed. A beautifully accurate reproduction wiring harness was installed on the vehicle and is authentic in ever detail. The air cleaner was restored inside and out and the carb was totally rebuilt. The radiator is an NOS unit. All hoses were replaced and an original working Harrison heater was restored and installed. The front sheet metal, hood and grill are original units and the windshield is an NOS unit with replacement glass. The body tub was too far gone to repair so a new tub was purchased. This tub was extensively reworked to be as accurate as possible. An original dash was welded in place and the transmission hump altered to be more accurate. All top mounts and brackets are original and were welded to the body. The underside of the body and floor were covered with “Linex” for ultimate protection and sound insulation. All instruments are NOS units as are the interior lamps and knobs. The jeep has a new canvas “Beechwood” top and cushions. The top has a removable rear panel as the original and is stenciled for Offutt Air Force base. The doors and top are easily removable. The jeep is painted to represent a “SAC” line jeep of the sixties. All correct data plates and stenciling have been applied.
The jeep runs and drives like a new vehicle and has no known issues. The restoration was finished one year ago and it has been driven about 50 miles since completed miles. Everything works!!! The only known issue is the heater is noisy and should be lubricated. All fasteners are stainless steel and there is absolutely no rust! The underside is as clean as the top.
This jeep was featured on the cover of the CJ3b web page.”
