The seller incorrectly labels the 1953 as a CJ-3B rather than a CJ-3A.

“i have two willys jeeps, both 4 cylinders
the 55 cj3-b has the better hurricane motor, has matching title and runs and drives but needs the brakes refreshed. it was used 4 years ago as a small plow jeep for a driveway. all the plow stuff is removed. has full enclosed cab with doors, body is okay but all there, some floor rott under the seat on driver side like all of them. its not the prettyest thing but its all there and like i said, runs and drives really good. motor is super smooth and does not leak a drop of oil. already 12 volt converted.
the 2 top pics, i have more pics available

the 53 willys has a really good body but some floor rott under the seat on driver side like all of them, good seat frames and a really solid windshield frame (which is rare) the glass is cracked but they always do that due to the flex in the WS frame. has original tags on the dash, new tires, “aftermarket” front and rear bumpers, otherwise mostly original
no title so its a “parts only” sale on this one. motor does not leak, i have not tried to get it running yet, motor turns over just like it should tho. would be awesome resto or rat rod project

ready to sell either one for $2000 or best or $3000 for both. can deliver if not to far from kenosha.

This appears solid.

“What you are looking at is a rare 1954 willys cj3b jeep. It comes with a powerful PTO winch. The engine is the original engine and runs perfectly with no smoke and great oil pressure. The transmission is also perfect. The jeep has been restored. It could use 2 new rear tires. 4 wheel drive works perfectly. The jeep has no title, but I do have a bill of sales and can write another when you buy it.
New windshield
New carburetor
New paint
New spray in bed liner
New spark plug wires
New rear universal joint.”

This is now running.  And, price dropped.  Put “1953 Willys” in the subject line if you email the seller.

(08/05/2011) “I have a 1953 Jeep Willys CJ3B. This vehicle has many new parts and could be a great cruiser. I am either going to part this vehicle out or sell it. I would obviously prefer to sell it. This jeep has a 305 sbc with a fresh rebuilt turbo 400 with a brand new Locar shifter. the jeep also has a Brand new painless wiring harness, front and rear oem style seats, Flaming river tilt steering column and other parts I am sure I am forgetting. Jeep also has a rebuilt amc 20 rear axel. The jeep has been floating around my family for the last 10 years or so. I am just getting tired of the project so it is time to go. I have a clear title. The jeep needs a little attention to drive it. First serious person will have big impact over whether I part or sell this jeep. Please put “1953 Willys” in the subject line of your email or it will be deleted immediately. Sorry to the real people out there, there are just too many scammers on CL any more. i also have a new oem grill and the original round headlight buckets.”
