UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $13,995

(06/24/09) This is a nice looking CJ-3B, however I don’t think it will fetch the asking price.  I’m gonna guess that the tranny is a T-15. I had a T-15 (with a built buick 225) in my last jeep and thought it was fine for both racing, jeeping and the road.

“1953 body with a 1948 frame, Complete frame off restoration,  All new body panels replaced except tub. Front/Rear differential completey rebuilt. Buick 231 Motor, completely rebuilt with 20 over TRW pistons and off road cam with only 2 hours of run time.  New Alum. High-Rise intake manifold. New Holley 2 barrel front float. Complete custom rewiring. Electronic distributor. Chromed valve covers and Alternator. 12V high flow air compressor in engine compartment, with accessories. Electric fan. Ceramic coated headers. Transmission from later model 68 3 speed jeep, geared low. Power steering.”

UPDATE:  Price dropped to $3700

(11/19/09) This looks nice enough, though I’m not sure why the builder didn’t paint the extension body pieces.  The frame looks to be a mid to late 70s, early 80s CJ frame as best I can tell.

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was $4900

This looks like a very nice CJ-3B for the price.

“Available now is my ’53 Willys Jeep. It appears unmolested – which is to say that it looks reasonably stock and is in very good condition for its age. Adult owned – garaged. Has a functioning 8-track tape player (and tapes) and a Johnson 23ch CB radio, too. Included (but not shown) is a rear cargo rack and a fold-down rear seat. Also included is a Bikini top. Mechanically, it has had all of the desirable modifications done: Buick V6, SM420 transmission, Saginaw steering, Warn winch, KC lites, etc. I replaced the entire suspension last year…new leaf springs, shocks, shackles…even new grease fittings! I’d consider trades for a very cherry Samurai, Toyota 4×4/4Runner, or maybe a small convertible sports car like a Miata. I have many pics of this Willys and would be glad to forward some to you. E-mail me with questions.”
