1954 CJ-3B Austin, TX **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3B • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.

(07/16/2016) I believe that’s a Koenig hardtop.

“WIll separate top/doors and Jeep. $1,500 for Jeep. $500 for hardtop and doors.
UPDATE: Dropped price because of running status. Was running two weeks ago until I mistakenly added some diesel to the fuel tank. Tank has been flushed, carb cleaned and new spark plugs installed. Hard to start and have white smoke when running.

1954 Willys Jeep CJ3B with hardtop and doors. Original Hurricane F Head engine. Was running and driving two weeks ago. 4wd works. Shifts smooth. Needs brake work. I have a new master cylinder, just haven’t installed it yet.

I have replaced the water pump, key switch, starter switch, cap and rotor, points, condenser, coil, plugs and wires, temp gauge, radiator hoses and rebuilt the carb. It is the original 6v system and has a new battery.

Body is in pretty good condition for 60+ years. Has some rust and minor damage. Portions of floors missing, but sheet metal has been placed down so that there are solid floors, except for in bottom of toolbox. Hood was covered in fiberglass by previous owner.

Seats need to be redone. Previous owner made a bench type seat with passenger frame and rear seat. Have a bottom for drivers and have a passenger seat from a 2a that can go with it. There is a hand winch and tow bar on the front and Allstate locking hubs installed.

Clear TX title in my name and in hand. I am only the third or fourth owner and all previous were one family.

Only selling because I have put all of my time and money into a ’59 CJ3B. Bought this one for parts, but it is complete and was running so I don’t want to tear it up.

Does not include wheels and tires that are on it. Will include the five originals with tires suitable to make it a “roller”. Those wheels are shown in one pic with bad tires.

$2,000 cash for everything or best offer. For the right price, I will delliver the Jeep within 150 miles of Round Rock.

What’s the contraption in front of the body?  Is that PTO related?

“This jeep is as original as I could keep it with required repairs and safety upgrades. It has the 134L Go-Devel engine and three speed gearbox/two lever transfer case and is set up to shift into low range while in 2WD if desired.

All lights except headlights are LED so it is not original, several other items
were also added/changed, such as power brake/vacuum assist hydrovat added,
rear fenders/flairs to keep from getting mud & rocks flung up the back of my
arm, custom gas tank (alum). seats came out of a 69 Ford van and were recently
repaired and recovered. No heater. manual wipers, windshield glass is from heavy
equipment stock cut to fit. Continue reading

1970 CJ-6 Frankfort, IL $2200

• CATEGORIES: CJ-6 • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: price dropped to $2200.

(09/11/2014) Looks like this has a government plate on the dash, but I can’t make it out. It’s a project. Has a Meyer hardtop.

“Marked Waaay down! Found something I really want, and need to free up some room and cash.

Very Cool, and Very Rare, especially with the hardtop!

This is one of the nicer CJ6s I have seen, and the last one of 4 that I am selling in order to start my business. I drove out to Missouri to get this one, and the body and frame are very good condition. Sitting just as I found it, on unfinished springover CJ7 Dana 30 and AMC 20 narrowtrack axles, and with a small block Chevy trans and transfer case partially installed (I was told it ran, but I never touched it; it is missing a carb at the very least) I was going to remove all of the drivetrain and install my own engine, trans, t-case and axles out of one of my Scramblers. Wheels and tires in the pix don’t come with, and it will be sold with a set of rollers. Selling off my Jeep projects and parts.”

1956/1966 CJ-5 Reno, NV **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ5 • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1400. This may have the Con-Ferr rear bumper.

It doesn’t currently run, but looks like a great restoration project. The rear bumper setup was a popular mod in California/Arizona and can be seen on a variety of CJ-5s in 1960s Four Wheeler Magazines (I know this because I just bought four years worth of magazines and looked through them).

“Willy’s Jeep CJ5 Project. Frame is a 1956, body is a 1966. It has been in this configuration since the late 60’s/ early 70’s. Floors and tool box are solid. Has the 4 cylinder hurricane engine in it. Has been sitting for many years and needs to be gone thru, so it does not currently run. Engine does turn freely. Don’t know much else about it other than it has a stainless steel gas tank and has a tow bar (removeable with a couple of pins). Also includes a new old stock Carter Carburetor. Has a clear California Pink that matches the frame numbers. Body numbers have been run by a NV State Trooper and come back clear (have document). $1450.”

This is a rare Alaskan Postal Delivery Service Scrambler.

“This is a Rare Right Hand Drive (RHD) Jeep Scrambler CJ-8.
Jeep made around 230 of these Scramblers in 1984 for the Alaskan Postal Delivery Service.

This Jeep runs and drives, however once she is warmed up she tends to want to stall out at stoplights if you don’t feather the throttle a bit. Rather than messing with the single barrel carb on there, I have a rebuilt dual barrel Motorcraft 2100 ready to be installed, but have not yet had the time.

The details are as follows:
The drive train of this Jeep is stock (carbureted 4.2 L 6 cylinder with automatic trans)
4WD works
Rare World Cab Hard Top, only sold in USA on these 230 Alaskan Jeeps. All other Scramblers were sold as Pickup Trucks in the US! South America got these world cab or Overland cab tops, but very few of those in US!

“Here’s something one won’t see on eBay every day…….This is a custom-made wooden roof assembly that fits a Willys CJ2-A civilian jeep of the immediate post-WW2 era. The story I have heard most of my life is that a neighbor of ours purchased a new 1948 CJ2-A and, after a few years, wanted something more stylish than the canvass top that had come with it. He commissioned a local furniture-maker, whose name is long lost to the ages, to design and construct this wooden “station wagon”-like roof assembly.

1948-cj2a-sullivan-pa3

1948-cj2a-sullivan-pa5

My late father bought the jeep with both tops in 1968 and stored the wooden roof on the second floor of his garage for many years. Around 1980 he sold the jeep, but he kept the wooden top. Fast forward to approx 2000, when I bought a haggard CJ2-A from a co-worker. Since it had no roof, installed the wooden one. The pictures seen with this auction show the wooden roof still perched on my red Jeep. It is possible this roof may fit the CJ3A with flathead engine and maybe even a WW2 military jeep, but I have NO experience with either model and can only say for certain that it will fit a CJ2-A…… Continue reading
