UPDATE: Still Available — If anyone goes to see it, can you get me pics of the CJ-3B fiberglass body? Thanks!
(04/25/2010) According to the seller, the body is in bad condition. However, the seller claims to have a replacement fiberglass body. If it’s a CJ-3B fiberglass body, that would be a rare item to have.
“195? Willys CJ3B Jeep, now a project vehicle at this point… As seen in the pictures, the body is basically gone. The engine is a Dauntless 225ci V6 2-bbl with dual exhaust. There was nothing wrong with the engine when parked, but it hasn’t even been turned over in years. The transmission is a Muncie car 4 speed that has been addapted to the Buick engine. A Warn overdrive unit is attached to the back of the Dana 18 transfer case. The frame is in excellent shape, with a Rancho 4″ lift. The axles are a Dana 27 front, Dana 44 rear, 5:38 gears, both open. I do have a complete new fiberglass body for it, and an original (good shape) steel Willys grille. If you want the original four cylinder engine and T90 tranny, I have that too. I’ll be available the weekend of April 23 – 25 to show it, if you’re interested. Mike 330-998-3583.”

This is in my neck of the woods. I’ll see if I can go over and check it out. My buddy is looking for another project (though he does not need one at the moment) and we can go look at it.
