UPDATE:  Pictures have been provided.  It looks like the body is a replacement body.  The outside looks great.

This is a bit much for a non-runner.

“This ol’ Jeep is a rare one. I bought it from a collector in Salem Oregon. It was recently brought to Portland.  The rear pto is a great conversation peice and was opporational when the motor was in the Jeep. This Jeep has a clear title and would make a great next project. The 283 Chev motor is removed and in need  of a rebuild and the seat frames and cushions need to be replaced. I’ve listed details that are included below…..”

UPDATE:  Dan reports that he purchased this CJ-3B (was selling for $1100).  Two weeks later it is running.  Sounds like he got a good deal.

“I WANT TO BE VERY SPECIFIC ON THIS JEEP, ITS NOT ONE YOU CAN JUMP IN AND DRIVE AWAY IN, I BOUGHT IT WITH THE INTENTION OF RESTORING IT, THIS JEEP HAD THE ENGINE REBUILT 3/20/05 FOR A PRICE OF $982, AND HAS NOT BEEN RUN SINCE THEN, IT NEEDS A DISTRIBUTOR TO GET GOING, I HAVE THE RECIEPT FOR THIS REBUILD, IT WAS DONE IN SOUTH CAROLINA AND THE JEEP WAS TOWED HERE AFTER THAT WHEN THE OWNER MOVED TO KNOXVILLE …”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3600

Brian pointed this one out to me.  There’s a pic of the hudson steering as well.

“I’m posting my flatty for sale. Its a Jeep CJ3B. The condition its in is ‘rough’ but workable. It drives great; just needs a little tlc. Here’s the meat:  She’s been converted to a straight 6 232 engine, which made for some interesting modifications. Wild Bill was apparently the guy that did it, if that means anything to you. Its got a t-90 with factory overdrive and factory PTO with the winch. The winch has a broken foot, but the mechanism works fine. This jeep has a hudson steering conversion….”

“I’m moving in a couple of months and am looking to sell my 1959 Willy’s Jeep, model CJ3B. Rust free, with a four inch lift, new Ground Hawg 6 ply tires (14/35/15). The engine is a 231 Buick V6 with Heddman Headers. The Jeep comes with a vinyl top and original seat frames that have been re-upholstered, the tool box is also in excellent shape.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.

This look solid and pretty stock.

“Unrestored, original 26K miles, 1955 Willy’s CJ3B Jeep.  The original owner was a doctor who bought the jeep as a hunting rig in 1955. The second owner purchased it for the same purpose, hunting. He had his mechanic look it over prior to each season. 3-4 years ago he stopped hunting and parked it. As a precaution, I oiled the cylinders and it turned freely. I bought it intending to restore it, but find I do not have the time. I was told it needed brakes. It has 16″ military tires on it which are in good condition. Tow bar is included. I am asking 3,000.00 O.B.O. No e-mails.”

The images are a bit tiny to tell much.  I’m not a big fan of the paint job, but other than that this might not be a bad price.

“1953 CJ3B Navy Jeep. Still has Navy ID and information tag on the dash. Jeep is in fantastic mechanical condition. It is currently titled & licensed and I drive it daily. Does not use oil or smoke. Motor and drive train work flawlessly except for 2nd gear. Like 75% of old jeeps, it pops out of 2nd gear when decellerating. Odometer only shows 2870 miles and it works, but I can not verify that those are the correct miles. Brakes stop it straight and fast. All turn signals and lights work. Has been converted to 12volts. Has 4 new military type non directional tires on 16″ stock rims. The spare is a newer 16″ rough tread on a split rim wheel. All guages work. Has lock out hubs & a tow bar. Call 740-448-2600 if you have any questions. Thank you.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.

This is a nice looking CJ-3B, but what’s going on with the rear springs?

“1964 CJ3B Jeep runs & drives – 4X4 works – has F134 motor, an extra transfer case, and a metal top with doors. Will take $3,500.00 OBO.”

UPDATE: Was $2995. **SOLD**

The seller lists this as a 1953 GB2.  I thought that was a mistake until I did a search and discovered that this probably means this jeep is part of the second round of serials numbers for CJ-3Bs.  In other words, it’s a pretty early CJ-3B.

“1953 Willys GB2. B style so room for new engine. 12 Volt System. Valve stuck in the original flat head. Tranny, lock outs, and diff good shape. Good wheels and tires. I don’t have time to rebuild. Great project. Licensed as collectable. $2,995 or BO.”
