1954 CJ-3B St. John, Virgin Island **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.

Need that excuse to visit the Virgin Islands?  Here it is.  A CJ-3B marooned on a remote island just waiting for you to save it!   If you do go, rent a boat and head to the British Virgin Islands and visit Virgin Gorda to swim and climb amongst the boulders.  When I visited in 1987 only 2 other people were there; we ran the boat onto the soft sand beach and started swimming. I think I need to return with Ann . . .

“1954 willys cj3b. titled as same. 4.3 v6 chevy, th700, dana 300 t case w/split shift, all autometer inst., custom interior, dana 44 front with arb locker, dana 44 r. 2 1/2 rancho lift, sits on 32×11.5×15 stainless exhaust. Awesome jeep, lots of custom work, lots of recipts, but needs cosmetic work. The asshole I sold it to parked it under a tree for 3 years and it suffered. Runs, drives, needs paint and some metal work. send me a ph. # and ill text you pictures. Having trouble uploading them.”

Steve and I in front of this CJ-2A on a beautiful midwest afternoon.

On Wednesday we drove from Dodgeville, Wisconsin, to Kearney, Nebraska.

On Wednesday June 19th we drove from Dodgeville, Wisconsin, to Kearney, Nebraska.

In 1993, I visited the House on the Rock near Dodgeville, Wisconsin, for the first time. Mom, my sister, and my then ex-wife and I. We’d heard it was a popular place to visit, but no one could really describe why. After our visit, I could see why people couldn’t explain it. All I knew is that some day I hoped to experience it again.

On Wednesday (20 years after the first visit) I returned. I told Ann that you have to see the place to believe it. It starts with an unusual house built on a rock (actually part of it is cantilevered over the rock) and then becomes a series of collections and spaces ands spectacles. I told here there would be music, a giant whale, and the world’s largest carousel.

I felt beating the large crowds would make the experience even more enjoyable, so we arrived at their 9am opening time. The cost is $28 per person and the fact that I didn’t balk at that must have surprised Ann. Arriving early worked well. We spent most of our time wandering through the maze of paved streets and hallways by ourselves, armed with tokens to play all the different music machines (I’d advise getting at least $5 dollars worth of tokens.)

I won’t go into the history of how Alex Jordan created this amazing spectacle, but it seems a meeting with Frank Lloyd Wright and some subsequent spite played a huge role on why Jordan landed atop a rock. Just enjoy the pictures.

Here’s the entrance.

The house is made up of two parts. A long walkway connects the two. All of it has a Japanese theme. There’s lots of limestone, small spaces and neat angles. The infinity room is the most spectacular spot.
