UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7200
(10/14/2016) Looks like the gas tank has been moved to the rear.
“After much consideration, I am selling my 1953 Willys jeep high hood. This is a full resto-mod. It has a 1963 327 Small block Chevy with a four speed. Power steering, tilt column, custom bumpers, relocated boxed fuel cell and a rancho suspension. It has a dual exhaust, new best top, warn hubs, wiring harness and the interior is rhino lined. The paint is fresh and is the factory color, Lozun red. You will be hard pressed to find one this nice and tow ready. The tow yoke is fully wired to operate all lights.
The tires are new Mickey Thompson Baja claws with pro comp powder coated steel wheels including the spare. I am the second owner. It was built to tow behind my father’s rv. I have been told this motor is out of a 63 corvette. The intake manifold matches corvette motors issued at that time, but the motor is a common 63 327 Sbc. I do not need help selling it. Please, no dreamers or tire kickers. Email me first then we will exchange info and set up a time to see it. If you want specific photos let me know and I will get them to you. ”
They really smoothed over that tub
Dave I have been trying to find the history/reason for the CJ3B during the production of CJ3A/CJ5. And have you ever seen a CJ4?
Sorry, what I wanted to ask was WHY?
Derek Redmond has some history on it here: http://cj3b.info/CJ4.html
They wanted to put the F head into a cj for the increased horsepower and this is what they came up with. Yes, there was a cj4, but only one or two. They continued to make the 3b alongside the cj5 because it was cheaper to make.
Thanks David and Bob. I thought that it might been because of stronger but taller engines. I just thought it weird running side by side the production of the CJ3A and CJ5. But me be understanding now.
