This looks like a great rebuild.
“This auction is for a 1953 Willys Jeep CJ3B. We were asked by a friend of ours if we could list it for him so here is the information that I got from the owner. The Willys has a new reproduction steel body. 4 CYL “F” head motor, 3 Speed Manual trans, high and low range 4 wheel drive. The vehicle has undergone a complete frame off restoration. The motor has been rebuilt, trans and transfer case gone through, front end, complete brake job, Interior, etc… There is only 310 miles on the vehicle since the restoration. He has a reciept folder totalling just over $9,000 in body and parts alone. This is not counting the labor at all. Everything appears to have been done quite nicely! Jeep runs and drives great as it should. He does not have a top but from what I understand, these are availble at a reasonable price. The only reason he is selling this is that he is starting a restoration on a original millitary Jeep and he is going to use the proceeds from this sale to help fund the project.”
UPDATE: SOLD Was $3900.

Gerald pointed out that this appears to be a Right Hand Drive CJ-3b. I agree it looks that way. On closer inspection, as Felix noted, the Willys was backwards. Some of these pics are flipped and some aren’t, though who knows why ..
This jeep has been sitting for 20 years, but it looks more like it has been sinking for 20 years.

Jump over to the CJ-3B Page and check out the latest on the new ICON CJ-3B, the first of several (or many?) new CJ-3Bs that will roll of the ICON plant from Van Nuys, CA. Derek covers this vehicle very thoroughly. It appears they’ve built a good rig. The engine is an interesting choice, likely providing debate for some time. Make sure to check out the gauge panel; it’s very different!
You can also see many pictures of an early prototype here from the CJ-3B Page.

Jim, take it away and thanks for sharing!
So I got a call today, woman says she has a1953 plow jeep she wants to get rid of. She said her deceased father, a mechanic, owned it for more than 40 years and used it to plow his business etc. When I hear plow jeep, Im thinking piece of rusty crap thats been worked to death etc. I have a driveway thats 1/3 of a mile long and I will need a plow this winter so I went to take a look.
Man, was I shocked, a completely (except orange paint) original 1953 CJ3B, 6 volt, uncut, runs great, has brakes, chains on all four studded tires, nice original seats, 15″ stock wheels, no rust to speak of, super straight, soft top frame with a tarp over it, still has the snap in carpet kit. Some one had obviously loved it for many, many years. Under that layer of dust is a really nice jeep and after a long heart to heart talk, its now mine for very little money!
I brought it home and tested it out. Everything works great, brakes, heater etc but there is a weird knocking on the engine, seems to come go at time so Im thinking someone dropped a bolt or something into the carb and it is knocking on top of a piston. I will know for sure when I pull the head in a few days but overall it is in excellent condition. I couldnt tell you the last time I bought a flat fender with a full on complete snap in carpet kit, very cool!
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This is a nice, solid looking CJ-3B.
“This is a 1958 Jeep Willys High Hood, it’s my grandpa’s jeep, and it is in very good condition. Starts right up, and the engine runs good. Tires are in great condition, tred is all there. The interior isnt very old, maybe 6 years or so. This jeep has been kept in storage the whole time he’s had it. Unless you count the occasional 4 mile trip to another garage. Please call my grandpa for questions, he will know more about it.”
UPDATE: Pics added. Price dropped to $1700.
This looks like a good deal.
“1962 CJ3B. Original F Head Engine, 3spd Transmission, and Twin Stick Transfer Case. Tub is in good shape no holes in floorboards. Has some surface rust. $1700.
Glass fuel filter/mechanical fuel pump. electric fuel pump was added by previous owner. Has original gauges and fire wall data plate, original low back seats. Body is in average condition. minor rust, nothing that cant be fixed. Tub is solid. No Bondo. Original Orange paint faded and flaking in spots. Overall a good High Hood worthy of being restored. I have two other Jeep projects so this one has to go. Title is clear.”
The pictures are a little pixelated, but the jeep looks great.
“1954 Willy’s CJ-3B Jeep. original running gear, paint 2 yrs old, original color. No rust & has never had any rust, has also been converted to a 12 volt, GM style alt red top optima battery, pertonix electronic distributor, also features overdrive unit. NOS trico wiper motors, I have original boxes. Solex Carb. I have most receipts. Also included original parts book,“NOT a reprint” and the Owner’s manual. I have saved old original parts, Carb, Gen, Dist, & Coil. I have a soft top for the Jeep, although it is not in perfect shape, On the passenger side, there is a 3-4 inch tear near the front, this can easily be fixed, since we do not drive in the wintertime, it is not a big deal to me. Always topless. This is a super clean, solid Jeep, no issues what so ever. I have just taken it as far as I want to and I am ready now to move on to another project. Possible trade for 1966-67 Pontiac Lamons…… $8450.00 OBO. DENNIS 503-458-6014 mkadams@centurytel.net”
“1951 or 1952 (unsure) Jeep Willys. Not much rust, runs. Good deer lease ride”
It looks in pretty good shape.
“It runs very good. Excellent Condition. Brand New Battery. Kept Very Well. Very good Tires. Includes a soft top
Here’s a good looking CJ-3B that comes with a few new parts. The starting bid is $2599.00. This could be a navy jeep.
“Built in April of 1961. Engine was rebuilt several years ago and runs better than when new. Transmission and transfer case are in great shape and the 4×4 is fully functioning. The body goes like this: Windshield frame is rusty but I have a replacement that goes with the deal. Hood is good, rightside fender is good, left side fender has some rust but I also have a nice replacement fender that goes with the deal. All the steering and suspension is good and road worthy….”
The windshield looks a little unusual on this CJ-3B. It appears to be well maintained.
“This is a 1956 jeep willys cj3b, it has a F-head 134 engine, T90 tansmission(3spd, 4wd works like a champ, superwinch hubs. dana44 rear axle, exterior recently painted and has a bedliner coating in the back as well as the front of the interior of the tub…. Its missing two guages and needs a little bit of wiring but its a nice jeep for someone to tinker with but it is a blast to drive, the serial number is 32720 and in doing some research I found out that this jeep came from the west coast which explains why it has very minimal rust.”
