UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay

“Well, here we go loyal Jeep fans.  Don’t let this one get away.  This may be your last chance to own an ORIGINAL RUST FREE CJ-3B.  If you are looking for a truly rust free example, then this is it!  No new panels, no new floors, no new fenders, all body panels and tub are original to this CJ-3B.  Never any rust repairs, all original sheet metal.  Mostly original paint, touched up here and there over its 50 years.  Underside is clean as the topside.  All drive train is original and in terrific condition.  Original WARN OVERDRIVE was installed by the 1st owner to allow driving on the roads without taxing the engine with high RPM’s.  All general maintenance was performed last fall by a licensed mechanic.  Top and door frames are original with new black fabric in excellent condition.  Original wheels included. Original owners manual and service manuals included.

A few years ago I went on a search to find an original, not restored, rust free CJ-3B.  I always liked the high hood look of the 3B.  I intended to bring it to our family camp and use it as a grocery getter and let the family use it to scout around.  I didn’t mind doing the mechanical maintenance on it, but did not want to chase rust.  I found this 3B from a southern man who was the second owner.  He had the 3B for seven years and put 6000 miles on it.  The maintenance was done by a family member who was a licensed mechanic.  The general items, brakes, wiring, hoses, etc were tended to.  It was always garage kept and used primarily for pleasure. Although he did accumulate a few prizes at local car shows.  The 1st owners used it for forty-one years on the family compound.  It was garage kept and accumulated 29,000 miles.  General maintenance was kept up with no major events logged.  It has a clear title.  I had the 3B shipped to me and had a licensed mechanic run through it.  I brought it into town twice (6 miles), but never to camp.  The 3B has sat in a humidity controlled warehouse waiting to venture out.  Unfortunately, work has kept me at bay and it looks like it will continue into next year.  It is time to pass the torch on this CJ-3B to someone who can enjoy it!”

1954 CJ-3B Los Alamos, NM **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3B • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: Was $1000. **SOLD**

Engine frozen and body rusted.

“54 CJ3b Has not run since 1978. Engine does not turn over. Body is badly rusted where channels are located. No title. Great restoration project. Nearly complete. Missing one hood latch and part of the turn signal switch as far as I know (probably missing a few other minor parts I don’t know about). The drive train appears complete and original. Has lock out hubs, hardtop, heater, vacuum brake booster, vacuum windshield wiper. Has 47,300 miles on odometer. Located in Los Alamos, New Mexico. If I was restoring it, I would probably buy a new body for it. The frame looks good for restoration.”

1954 CJ-3B Kalispell, MT **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3B • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was $1550

This looks like a great price.  That’s only 500 miles from me … hmmmm.

“1954 CJ-3B. This early CJ is in good condition and runs very well. The carburetor has been rebuilt along with a new fuel pump and filter. The fuel tank was removed and cleaned then treated with a chemical sealant made especially for the task of restoring old fuel tanks. The original 4-cylinder engine also received new plugs, wires, oil, filter, etc. this past year.

The drivetrain is original and in proper functioning condition. The 4-wheel drive works as well as hi/low range. The electrical system is the original 6 volt and also functions properly. Head/brake lights, turn signals and even the electric wiper (converted from vacuum) all operate well.

The hydraulic plow works. It’s lifted by a single cylinder and swivels manually. It has a fresh coat of Caterpillar-yellow paint on it.

The interior of the CJ is pretty basic with a late-model bench seat put in sometime in the past. There is an under-dash heater plumbed in but its working condition is unknown at this time. The fuel gauge does not work; there is no sending unit in the tank. The windshield has several cracks.

The major areas of concern on the vehicle are the brakes and front suspension. The brakes do work, they are just very soft and the pedal goes to the floor. The fluid is full so likely the master cylinder is shot and/or the brakes need bleeding. The front suspension is very worn from carrying the plow for many years. Also of concern is most of the tires have very little tread and all are severely weather-checked.

Overall this is a very sound Willys that can be restored or used as is for plowing in the winter (even has a block heater). I haven’t spent a lot of time underneath it but there is not a lot of rust. You should come make that evaluation yourself. I can get more detailed photos of any areas of concern if you’re a very serious buyer. Realize it’s nearly a 60 year old vehicle though and priced very reasonably. MT title is in hand; vehicle has not been registered for the road since the early 1980’s.”
