UPDATE: Still Available
(10/31/2014) Runs and drives.
“1954 Jeep CJ-3b 4 wd
Not a museum piece but a very nice CJ3b.
Solid, absolutely undamaged, rust-free frame. Rust in the body has been removed and/or treated. Everything possible original that could be repaired and saved has been. I believe in retaining every bit of original content possible.
Original engine, runs great.
Extremely original content CJ3b with high degree of original, working, parts. Still has the original tailgate chains, gauges (working), rear view mirror, seat frames (new correct, cushions), all five original rims,
radiator, engine, trans, windshield (perfect), windshield latches, vacuum wiper motor (works), parking brake system (works), dash data plate, original, working, heater.
Many new bits, all wiring replaced, electrical converted to 12 volts with new alternator,
entire brake system replaced including lines. Entire fuel system replaced from gas tank to the carburetor. New carburetor, fuel pump, lines, and tank.
You don’t have to fight all the sixty year-old rusted fasteners. I have done that. Almost every fastener has been removed, rust treated or replaced, oiled, and reinstalled.
You don’t have to treat the rust, seal the tight areas with 3m 8115, or fill all the pinholes I have done that.
Of course there is still more to do if you like wrenching your own, it’s an old Jeep.
South Carolina title in my name. Cash only, no trades.”
Drove three hours to drive Brads cj3b…no water in the oil, engine starts and runs but could not shift. Into 2/3 gear. 1/r works fine. Original trans and clutch….need to be replaced. New muffler but needs tailpipe. Brakes work. Very original, never restored.
