Sounds like it has some old school updates.

“350 Corvette engine. 4-speed manual. 4WD. Front locker. New BFG all terrains. Garage kept for most of its life. Paint still looks brand new. Has a bikini top and soft top. Front bucket seats, rear bench. Tow bar.

A really nice jeep in its heyday but has been sitting for 15-ish years. I had it running and drove around the block about 1 year ago but has been sitting since. It does need some work as reflected in the price (fully updated and driveable Jeeps like this go for $14,000+). Built by my uncle before 4wheelparts existed so you will have to spec parts on your own.

Needed immediately: front and rear leaf springs (flattened out), bump stops, and maybe shocks. Drum brakes need a good flush and bleed. Will take a little go-juice for the carb to get her running but then she purrs.

UPDATE: The year has been confirmed as 1963. Kelly cab has some value.

“1966 jeep willys. Big project jeep. Everything should be there except the actual tub. Has a nice set of hard doors and a hard top. I have the grill and windshield frame also. I also have the title. I bought it for a project and will probably never get to it. Has the 4 cylinder, 3 speed trans and twin stick transferscase. There are boxes and boxes of parts under the top. Looking to get 1250 or best offer. Could be a really unique jeep when finished. Emmett mi 48022 might trade throw me some offers. Shop equipment, other old project cars, guy stuff. Jeep cj willys will also part out.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1300.

(11/20/2017) “I have a 1962 willys cj3b that I recently bought with intentions to get it back together and have a cool old Jeep to cruise around but it’s to much for me and I don’t have enough time to do what I want to to it. Open to offers have the title it has potential but is a project”

UPDATE: **SOLD** “Was $2500.

Lots of rust.

“Up for sale is this what I believe to be as a 1952 Willys cj3b. Under the hood is a good old GM 4 banger with an offenhauser 4 barrel intake. Has not run in about 15-20 years. I was told it was built for someone who never came to pick it up. Will come with spare front axle. Floor is rusted through in a majority of it. Sitting on 33″ tires one of which does not hold air very well. It has no title but we can write up a bill of sale. Would highly recommend bringing a trailer. If you’ve got something you would like to trade offer it up. Worst I can say is no.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.

Still needs work.

“Running project new tires new used seats and light bar and wiring harness just dont have the time to complete”

Includes a set of fenders. Body looks fine for a custom project.

“For sale, early 1950’s Willys CJ 3B tub. 80% rebuilt using heavier gauge metal. Additional supports added, (was probably going to build a crawler). Front fenders can go with the tub for free, although they are in pretty rough shape.”

Project.

“Jeep is in pieces but all acounted for: this year model features the high hood, twon stick transfer case, hard top with sides and the hard top. Engine turns over fine by hand.”
