UPDATE: Blaine reports this sold for $6800.

Blaine shared this J-24 that’s being auctioned on Bring a Trailer. It appears solid, but has enough dings to make it a practical little work vehicle. Current high bid is $5750. This ends early Friday morning. The vehicle is untitled.

“Various Jeep models based on the CJ-3B body style were produced and built by Mitsubishi in Japan under license from Willys between 1973 and 1997. Rust repairs were reportedly carried out before the exterior of this example was covered in a black spray-on bedliner material, and the pickup conversion included the addition of wood side stakes as well as planks along the B-pillars. Inward-facing bench seats are also present in the bed, and additional exterior details include a Mitsubishi logo above the seven-slot grille, a pintle hitch, and a tan soft top in addition to fender-mounted side mirrors and indicators. Corrosion is visible near the right side step and tailgate hinge.”

No many of these around.

“I have a 1976 Mitsubishi J44 Jeep for sale. $12,500 This Jeep was manufactured by Mitsubishi in Japan in 1976. I imported this vehicle in 2009. Since then, it has lived inside my garage here in Ponte Vedra Beach Florida. I have a clear Florida title for the Jeep. This is the LWB soft top “Troopy” model Type J44 and it does have the right-hand drive (steering wheel is on the passenger side).

The engine is a great running 2659cc 4-cylinder Type 4DR5 diesel engine. The Jeep has a 4 Speed on the floor shifter transmission. I have all the necessary parts to convert it back to the original column shifter. These parts will be included with the sale of the Jeep. This Jeep has aftermarket power steering and A/C installed. The A/C will need some attention before it will work. The Jeep has 24volt electronics.

The Jeep has 31 x 10.5 x 15 Yokohama tires on non-OEM rims. No lift needed. I do have the original split rim wheels that will be included with the sale of the Jeep. Included in the price is: (1) 2x disc brake conversion for front wheel brakes, with knuckles and Aisin free wheeling hubs. Ready to be installed. (2) PTO winch. Koening type. Mounted on original mudguard. Wire cable on spool. All parts that are needed for the installation, drive shaft, to attach to transfer case are there. Check eBay to appreciate the value of this. I would prefer to sell these items with the Jeep but may consider selling them separately. This Jeep has been garage kept since 2009. This is a 47-year-old Jeep so do not expect a “new” Jeep. It still turns heads and is a great conversation starter.”

JW is selling his J53, because he bought an M-38 (which he found on eWillys).

“This 1986 J53 diesel Jeep is in great shape and it runs fantastic. Truly a rare Jeep, there are not many like it in the United States. It has more power than a flat fender but still has classic Willys style. If you own this you’ll have the most unique Jeep in the group. Original 30443 Km on the odometer, which is 18,916 miles. Clear title in my name. Why buy a side by side ATV or a UTV when you can have a street legal turbo-diesel Jeep!”

This is likely one of the Mitsubishi jeeps imported by Paladin Trucks out of Georgia. Thanks to Tom for that link.

“Rare find – 1983 Mitsubishi Willys Jeep J59. Low mileage (73k shown is kilometers, which equates to 46k miles). Clean Georgia title. Imported from Japan, right hand drive. No issues, drive it frequently around Blue Ridge. Stored under cover (car cover included). Will provide contact info for a local mechanic who knows old Jeeps, so no worries about maintenance. Only selling because I just got a new trailer, don’t have room to park it anymore. Great vehicle, loads of fun!”

UPDATE: This is back up for auction.

This right-hand-drive jeep might be an earlyish Mitsubishi. Note that the hood is stamped “Jeep”. It appears to have a Mitsubishi logo on the top of the grille.

“Mitsubishi J3 Diesel RHD Military Jeep.

License built by Mitsubishi. 4 Cylinder diesel from the factory. Built for the Japanese army (and others) from the 1950’s until the late 1990’s.

Restoration project. Has sat for a number of years. Complete and original. Rust in the usual Jeep places (footwell). Frame is straight and solid. Motor currently does not run but turns over with compression…. Being a diesel I am sure it would run if you hooked it up to a fuel tank, not had time to mess with it. Parts are available from a number of suppliers. Even has the original Japanese NDTs still on it……. Very cool and unique Jeep.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000.

Seems like a good price.

“Willys Jeep CJ3B by Mitsubishi. Rare jeep as very few Willys by Mitsubishi were brought to the USA. The irony of this should not be lost on anyone. We bombed them and they licensed this legendary Jeep afterwards. 4 cylinder factory engine rebuilt by Napa Auto in Orland. Has less than 20 miles on it. New clutch, water pump, exhaust, etc. Many new parts. Runs and drives very good. In very good condition.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.

This is likely a J4 or J4C. It has a few changes, including an odd windshield modification and a WILLYS plate that appears added to the hood.

“I am selling my project jeep. Its a 1959 Willys cj3B/M606.
