The engine is rebuilt and looks nice.

“1954 Willys Jeep CJ 3B . . . Have done a lot of mechanical restoration on this Jeep. It has a rebuilt engine with new clutch.

New: Brakes all around; shoes, wheel cyls.,hoses and lines.
Radiator, hoses,and waterpump
Fuel tank, fuel pump,and rebuilt carb.

It runs and drives well. Was originally 6 volt system.Somewhere in its life someone converted to 12volt system. Everything works but, I would probably replace the wiring harness because it is the original harness and is old. The frame is good, getting thin by rear spring shackles,but not hard to repair.( hey, it is a 56 yr old frame,how long does a frame last on a Toyota today…?) The body is original as far as I can tell. Has been patched up, needs a little more to be inspectable for the road.Top, is all there but,as you can see in pictures is coming apart at the seams. Very easy to restore, not much that is not available from various parts vendors to restore one of these old Jeeps. Asking $2250 (don’t call and offer $1000, unless you want a rolling shell) Call 802-343-0112. Thanks for looking.”

UPDATE:  Still Available

(04/09/2011) This tub is half CJ-3B (front) and half DJ-3A (rear).

“Yes, it is still for sale, I have had issues getting my phone messages. If you have called and didn’t get ahold of me, im sorry, feel free to call back.  I am moving out of state and don’t have room on the trailer for this project.

I am selling my 1957 Willys CJ3B project. I have been slowly getting this thing built, but I just don’t have the time to finish before I leave and no room to take it with me. The Tub is a mix of CJ3B cowl with a ’56 willys DJ3 / MB tub (the DJ cowl was cut up and gone before I got the tub) sitting on a ’70’s 2wd mail jeep chassis with a Dana 44 rear axle and stock 2wd front axle. The 70’s mail jeep chassis has the better steering and is stonger around the engine area then the CJ frames, has out board mounted rear leaf springs and brand new 31×10-15 tires.

I was building this jeep for the sand dunes, so the original 4cyl is long gone, I will include a rebuildable chevy 350 v8 and chevy short shaft th350 automatic transmission. Neather are mounted and they do need rebuilt

So for $700 you can have an old jeep project…or buy the wheels, tires, engine and trans and get the rest of the stuff an a bonus. Let me know if you are interested, I have the title in had, not yet notorized.  Eli-509-230-7239”
