(04/23/2012) George of George the Jeep had this for sale.

“We call her JJ (stands for Japanese Jeep) is a 1975 HJ-38. The ID tag that is on the firewall reads “Manufactured in JAPAN by Mitsubishi Motors Corporation Under License From Jeep Corporation U.S.A. We found this treasure in Montana a few years ago and decided that we just had to have it. She has a 4cyl Mitsubishi gas engine, a 4 speed column shift transmission with a 2 speed transfercase. She has a 44 offset rearend (same as wagoneer quadra-trac), 30 series closed knuckle front end. She is a right hand drive and even has fractory AIR. She is a 4 door with Barn doors on the rear. The grille is the same as a CJ3B except with a Mitsubishi logo and instead of turn signals it has a place for the horns.. The hood is the same as a CJ3B except it says JEEP instead of WILLYS. She does need a new paint job but other then that she looks pretty good. Infact she even has the factory plastic still over the bench part of the back seat. As far as we know she is the only 4 door in the United States. Runs and Does need brakes but they will be fixed when you pick her up”

1977-Mitsubishi-bc-canada

“1977 Jeep Mitsubishi, in original condition and excellent shape. The top is immaculate, the interior in excellent shape and no rust, dents, or scratches. The tires are cracked because they are from 1977, they are the OME.

There are no leaks, it does not need anything mechanically either. Everything is functional on this jeep. The original tools and Owners Manual are included in the sale. It is registered in British Columbia Canada. This Jeep is unique and in unbelievable condition, springs and other components have no rust and the body/tub is rust free as well.

This jeep was always garaged, never driven in snow, never offroaded. The  plastic top windows are clear and in excellent shape, the top frame is mint and complete.

It has High/Low, 4×4 & 4×2 Tranny & Transfer case that work flawless
Has a posi-trac rear end.
The fuel economy is exceptional. (Approx. 25-30 MPG 2×2) (In 4×4 & extreme conditions less)

Basically this is a CJ3B body with far better running gear, motor, power, heating system, with defrosters, that the early Willy’s with the overhead cam hurricane motors just did not have

Everything works on this Jeep – Radio, Turn signals, everything. Being a 100HP, it is REALLY snappy and it is a 4-speed and will cruise effortlessly at 60-65MPH without overdrive and without Warn locking hubs, which can be installed.

The master cylinder brake system, helps the truck brake much safer than older jeeps. The heater works perfect and makes this truck usable in winter months. This truck is much easier  and safer to drive than the older CJ2 Cj3.”

I thought the hoses on this fire jeep were unusual.  I would think they would flap around in the wind when driving?

1976 Mitsubishi J-59 San Francisco, Ca eBay

The seller just bought this and now wants to buy something else.

“1976 Mitsubishi J58/CJ3B/Willys Original 24,500miles

I just recently purchased this and in between the 2 weeks it took to be delivered from Atlanta, GA, another one-of-a-kind deal came my way, so I will have to let this one go. Someone will be very lucky to get one of these rare Mitsu CJ3B’s.

Only about a dozen of these make it into the US through 2 importers due to the strict guidelines for the importation of used vehicles. The majority of these that are sold out of Japan go to Europe and South America. Only the nicest ones make it into the US and are usually presold before they are ever off the boat and this is one of them. This was the personal Jeep of one such importer.

I am not new to early CJ’s. I have restored about a dozen pre-1965 CJ’s. Four of them being body off CJ3B’s, so I can tell you I know these Jeeps. Prior to buying this one, I had never seen one of these – only pictures. So what you have here is a CJ3B with far better running gear, motor, power, heating system, with defrosters, that the early Willy’s with the overhead cam hurricane motors just did not have.

The only thing that was added to this Jeep was the CB Antenna and the gas can, which is mounted directly to the tailgate. The spare tire mount does not swing out like American CJ’s. It folds down and is not mounted to the tailgate.

Everything works on this Jeep – Radio, Turn signals, everything. I’ve only had this Jeep one week and have driven it about 10 miles. Being a 110HP, it is REALLY snappy and it is a 4-speed and will cruise effortlessly at 60-65MPH without overdrive and without Warn locking hubs, which can be installed. . . ”

“1985 Jeep J59 51,000 Miles CJ3b

In 1953 Mitsubishi secured the rights to build the Willys under their own name and the Mitsubishi Jeep was born. In the USA the Willys was built till 1965 but in Japan Mitsubishi had a good thing going so they kept the line in production till 1998. Mitsubishi installed the 5G52 Astron 2.0L 4 cyl These engines put out a much more useful 100 hp and moved these Jeeps down the highway comfortably at 110 km / hr or 65 mph.

This is a true turn-key off road capable unit. They have full time hubs Ready for the rugged out doors. Pick a trail and enjoy one of the best off-road vehicles ever made. The beauty of the Willy’s body style coupled with the strong and reliable Japanese engineered drivetrain using the D44 out back and the D30 up front, gear to gear t/case with a 2.3 low range, 4.77 differential gearing and you are ready for the great out doors.
Crawl down the steepest hill or race up the nearest dune, this gutsy miniature tank can handle it all. The very sharp approach and departure angles will be the envy of all and the superb break over angle will be hard to beat in any stock 4X4. This stock J59 can run 31” tires with absolutely NO LIFT.

Absolutely Mint Condition, runs as NEW. These Jeeps are some of the finest manufactured vehicles in the world.

$10,900.00

Year? Mitsubishi Annapolis, MD **Status Unknown**

UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $5700.

“I purchased this jeep 5 years ago in Washington State where I restored it and used it on mountain trails, hunting/fishing while based at Fairchild AFB near Spokane. After being transferred to Andrews AFB it’s spent most of its time in my garage, other than trips into town, etc. It has a very efficient low mileage (under 45,000 miles) 4DR6 2.7L diesel engine mated to an iron 4speed manual transmission and transfer case. The steering is right hand drive as is typical for these late model willy’s from Japan. It’s been well maintained but shows some wear for its age such as repairs in the soft top, worn seats, etc. I also have the driver, passenger, and rear doors that are included in the sale. About 3 years ago the windshield wiper motor stopped working, so I’ve relied on the back up manual wiper in its place. I don’t have the time to research a new wiper motor or have it rebuilt, which is why I’m letting my jeep go at such a low price… While doing some research on this vehicle I discovered through discussion boards that individuals are paying up to $14K for these jeeps by the time the import cost, taxes, and all other expenses are calculated. It’s never been driven in the rain/snow here in Maryland due to rust concerns. This jeep has proven extremely reliable to me and capable of anything I’ve put in its path, you won’t be dissapointed.

Since I’ve owned it I’ve addressed the following:

-New windshield
-5 new 8 ply tubeless tires
-resealed the front and rear axles
-replaced all of the brakes (11″ drum brakes)
-installed new rear driveshaft
-replaced driveline parking brake
-eliminated rust from rear fenders by removing old sheet metal and welding in new
-Water pump was rebuilt 1 month ago
-New fan/alternator belt last month
-replaced thermostat & hoses
-installed inline coolant block heater
-M38 speedometer (replaced old unit that was in kilometers per hr)
***note*** speedometer works great but odometer recently stopped working
-installed turn signal control (unit was missing when it arrived from Japan)
-new pintle hitch with 2″ ball
-new shovel, axe, & jerry can
-installed farm jack on front bumper
-new M38 mirrors
-installed passenger seat from a CJ-5 (seat was missing when it arrived from Japan)
-installed Warn Locking hubs for the Dana 30 front axle
-engine oil & filter have been changed every 3,000 miles or 6 months (which ever comes first)

****the engine is barely broke in at 45-50K miles, burns no oil, and there are absolutely no leaks from the engine or drivetrain components.Yea”
