UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.

(07/09/2014) It’s a project.

“1953 Willys CJ3B for sale. It is a project very near completion. I was going to build this into a crawler and beach vehicle.

The Good-
The body and frame have some surface rust but are solid. The F134 4 cylinder engine is original and has 130K miles on it. It ran 2 weeks ago when I finished wiring the ignition. The Carter carburetor was rebuilt a few months ago. The 12V alternator is brand new. The transmission is a NP435 6.68:1 first gear from Novak Adapters(http://www.novak-adapt.com/knowledge/np435.htm) this with the adapters was around $2500 the transmission is rebuilt but if you looked at it its brand new. Novak did a leak down test before shipping. The transfer case is a Dana 18 2.46:1 low range. It was rebuilt before bolting it up to the transmission. The axles are Dana 25 and Dana 44 the gearing is 5.38. The final drive in low range in this is 88.4:1 plenty to crawl. The wiring harness is about 2 weeks old also.

The Incomplete-
Wiring to brake lights needs to be run. Needs seats. Needs CB antenna. Needs Clutch linkage(http://www.advanceadapters.com/products/716640–jeep-1941-71-chain-control-assembly/). Driveshafts need to be shortened in the rear and lengthened in the front. The originals are included and can be shortened or lengthened by a competent welder. The brand new polyethylene gas tank needs a sending unit( http://www.kaiserwillys.com/product/255/willys-jeep-fuel-sending-units-parts-accessories)

Extras-
If you want it to do a real restoration you can have the T-90a three speed. Also I have a battery you can have if you don’t want a new one.

This Jeep is awesome I hate to see it go but my Dad passed away recently and left me his Jeep. For sentimental reasons I want to keep his and only have room for one.”
