UPDATE: Was $3000. **SOLD**

This might make a good project.

‘1953 Jeep CJ-3b
This Jeep is very original. It was purchased by me in Western NC from a man who purchased from the original owner. It was a farm Jeep and has very low mileage considering its age. I looked at 12 other 52-53 Jeeps before I decided to buy this one.

This is why I chose this Jeep:
The bad stuff:
typical rust, but not tons of it- most panels can be fixed easily as everything is flat
no top, but it does have the top frame, and one door
brakes need to be adjusted- the rear wheels lock up under heavy braking
the carb is new but it floods easily- I suspect the needle and seat assembly-some fuel lines need to be rerouted
typical decay of the original wiring harness
needs muffler welded on (I have a muffler)
brake lights are non-original and not working
seats need to be recovered

The good stuff:
it is 99% original
low miles 45K
the motor runs great
the differential works great
the tranny works great
the steering gear works great
the frame is solid
the tires are brand new (have receipt)
wheels were shot peened and painted with urethane (have receipt)
new front window (have receipt)
just about every part imaginable is available with a mouse click or a phone call
it just looks cool

I am selling this , because I have way too many projects , and this would be a great and easy project for someone. I have over $3000 in the Jeep. I will accept reasonable offers. I do not want any trades, as I do not need a divorce. Payment will need to be in cash.
( I am also selling a 1994 Jeep YJ with a 258, ps, pb, Sahara package, new sailcloth top, AM-FM CD, 7″ total lift on good BFG 33’s, Motorcraft 2100 carb swap–needs tuning, needs some work on the CAD front axle actuator as the vacuum nipple broke off $4 part—the paint is very nice with very little rust–witha few more dollars this could be a really nice Jeep—–$4200–I have $5600 in the Jeep—I’ll post pictures soon)”
