I’m not sure if the seller is selling the jeep only or bundling this with the truck and scout.

“1953 Willys is just the chasis, motor and seat frames. This one ran to where I parked it and then I had my body guy take the body off to put a tub on it.  Its time to get rid of some of my projects!!!  Call Michelle 231 206 7332”

This doesn’t run.  This has an unusual spare tire mount.

UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was listed at $5000.

Robin spotted this ad.  As he noted in his email to me, it is fun to read Craiglist if only to discover the strange things people will say in their ads.  In this case, neither of us have ever seen someone concerned about altering their jeep into a “Weed spraying rig”.

“53 jeep willys, runs excellent, rebuilt 4 cyl motor, rebuilt transmission. Really neat antique. Will not sell it to you if you want to turn it into a weed spraying rig! Wife says it must go”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.

(02/28/2012) It runs and drives.  That windshield sure is sloped!

“Runs ok and drives good. Smokes a little. All original drivetrain have extra parts as well call ”

Does not run.

There is some work to be done on this. Looks like something hit the passenger’s side.

“For Sale is a 1953 Willys CJ3B.

I started to restore this old jeep but decided to pay off some debt instead! (Thanks Dave Ramsey)!! I will tell you as much as I know about this great old Jeep.
We rescued this jeep from Canyon City Colorado sitting in a field. At some point in the jeeps long history, somebody replaced the engine with a ford 302 and cut up the front of the frame. When I purchased it, I decided that the old flat four should go back into the jeep so that is what I did. I found a good running gear complete with engine, transmission, transfer case and the whole works, frame included. I swapped the CJ3B body onto the new frame and running gear. That was the beginning of the restore. This jeep is not complete but would not take much to complete.

Here are a few things that I know for sure need to be completed before it can be driven. The wiring needs to be completely redone thanks to the ford engine swap. I was going to do the painless wiring from Kaiser Willys. The tires are completely shot but they do hold air. The brake system needs to flushed to be right but they did work a little when we unloaded the jeep. The clutch needs to be adjusted but it does work.

Here are some of the great things about this old classic. I painted the old jeep back to close to the original color and paint scheme. Wow have times changed!! The seats will work well and the frames are in good shape. It has a roll bar that is in good shape and bolted down. The inside of the tub is ready for some rhino liner. The engine DOES run well!! A little smoke from sitting for a while but sounds great.

I can tell you that this Jeep will never win any car shows but damn it still looks good for an almost 60 year old rig!! Yes there is rust under the floor pans but the pans themselves have been patched. There are dents and holes from previous proud owners having fun in this old Jeep making memories so I decided to leave them to tell a story!! Come take a look. I can’t meet you anywhere with it since it does not drive. I ensure you that if you are looking to restore an old jeep to make you smile and remember the good ole days or are looking to take the kids out for ice cream, this might just be it. It needs work and yes you will need a trailer or dolly to get it to its new home.

I do have some extra parts that will go with the CJ3B when it is sold. I might even find an extra Dana model 18 transfer case to pitch in the back.
Give me a call if this might be what you are looking for.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6900.

A lot of parts, but a lot of work left.

“I have a 3B jeep prolect that I have been coloecting parts for about 4 years now and it seems that I wont be able to get to it for quite a while so I am thinking about getting rid of it. I am not hurting for money so now low ball offers. Here is what I have: New steel tub with a stamped hood, Grill and tailgate. Front and rear seats, new painless wiring harness, CJ fuel tank.
The running gear has all been rebuilt and never ran, Over $10k spent on the front and rear ends, transfer case and transmission. The axles are high pionion dana 44’s with detriot lockers with 4:88 gears and disc brakes all around. High knuckle steering. It has a 18 transfer case with a warn overdrive and I have both drive lines. It has a Chevy 350 with a turbo 350 trans. I have most everything for the motor including custom stainless headers. I have a bunch of misc. stuff that all goes with it. I have a clear WA title also.”

Floors patched with wood.  It includes a warn overdrive.

“’53 Willys CJ-3B
Good old CJ Jeep and the Last year of the REAL Willys Overland before Kaiser bought them.
Runs and drives great!! Motor is from a 1972 Pinto, 2.0 and very very solid.
Otherwise its pretty original:
Trans and transfer case are original and also in great shape. Suspension, Brakes, body, motor, trans, 4wd all in good shape.

Need to see to appreciate and go for a drive around the back yard. 4lo 4hi and 2hi as well as a WARN overdrive.

Floors have been replaced with wood and are solid, body is solid.
I have a Title for it!!
Could use a new hood and some paint.
Bikini top only, lost indoor storage for it so hate to sell it but have no choice.
I would take a trade for a really nice sport bike or a clean Miata but mostly interested in cash. Pretty FIRM on price but cash talks
