UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000

Given the fire damage, I’m not sure how much value is here. Looks like it had a replacement body.

“I have a historical 59 Willys cj3b I need to get sold it was set on fire last year and was going to fix it back up but was in a motorcycle wreck and wasn’t able to work and hate to let it go but have a baby on the way and need the cash, it’s worth 3,000 or more in its condition 25-30,000 running but will take the best offer… fire got to the engine but i didn’t damage major parts. It did run before and still will turn over.. it’s late and will take pictures tomorrow thanks”

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was $2500

Runs and drives.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $900.

Are those rivets on the side? bolts?

UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $2500. Never heard of the ‘3 year grace period’ and nothing online to verify it.

(03/26/2014) “1953 cj3b. we bought this jeep as a project that we couldn’t pass up because the body is so solid on it. it was going to take very little work to make nice. the previous owner set the body on a cj5 frame, with centered dana 44 rear axle and drum brake dana 30 front.

it’s got a gm column with a power steering box
it has a rebuilt turbo 350 transmission adapted to a dana 20 transfer case.
it had a Chevy motor in it when previous owner had it.
it’s got new seats in it but I don’t know what they are.
it has Rancho lift springs under it..
also includes power brake booster and master cylinder.

the title is under a 3 year grace period, probably a coupe years left. I can explain this better over the phone, but don’t let this scare you as selling and buying with this is not an issue. basically when the 3 years is up the dmv issues current owner a title. we had this inspected by the Washington state patrol.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000
