It runs and drives.
“This is a 1957 willys cj 3b to my knowledge. It is a funn little thing l-head 4 cylinder with the three speed. Fun little trail rig ive fixed quite a few things on it sense ive owned it. It really doesnt need anything…. New battery at the beginning of summer new headlights, it has good tread tires they Are dry rot ive been driving on them for two years now and they hold air just fine never have them go flat ……. Body isnt great has bondo on it this would be a great trail rig or farm runner never road legal…. Just testing waters and see what i get for offers.. Dont have to sell it … Cash talks though”

What do you think of this one, guys? I’m still on the hunt for my first Willys and this one looks intriguing.
I’d need more pics to know for sure, but a running 3B for $1750 is a reasonable price. The body’s been worked on some (drain holes by the steps filled) and the passenger step looks modified. If you are looking for something to run around in and get a feel for owning a Willys it might not be a bad vehicle.
If you plan on driving it on the road, then it will likely need some work. It isn’t road legal, but there should still be a title for it. If no title, double check New York title rules on what it would take.

Thanks, Dave. Yeah I definitely see that the fender has some issues. Seems there is a chunk out of the corner or something. My goal is to get one that street legal or easy enough to make street legal so title is important. I emailed the guy to see how bad the rust was and ask if it had a title. I’ll comment again if I hear from him.
