Tractor-Pull CJ-3B Eden, NC SOLD

March 21, 2015 • CATEGORIES: Racing • TAGS: Odd Body. This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5600.

Brakes are stuck. Made for truck-pulls. No title.

Vintage Willys Jeep sitting on a Chevrolet Truck 4×4 frame custom built. Vehicle is in good condition, it has always been stored inside and not exposed to weather. Although the vehicle has been sitting inside for several years, after putting fresh gas in the tank the Chevrolet 350 Engine was cranked and it does run. It will go into gear and would lot drive but the front brakes are stuck and will need some work. The vehicle does not have a battery so it will need a new one. The vehicle was put together to run in tractor pulls but never was used for that purpose. It has been in used parades and on display but cannot be driven on the highway as this vehicle has been heavily modified.
