UPDATE:  This one is back.  Note the reference to the mileage has been left off, though there is a pic of the speedometer.  As Ed and Mitch both excellently point out, the speedometer does not appear to be original, so it’s likely that the mileage is under reported.

The owner has set the starting bid at $8,000.  This jeep comes with a pretty good story posted on the CJ-3B page.  The speedometer on this CJ-3B shows mileage of 7,150 miles.

“This auction is for a 1962 Kaiser Willys Jeep CJ-3B Jeep and trailer.  I spent three years getting this jeep; the story is on the link below.  The thrill of the chase was intense, but I’m selling it to conentrate on my business and my family.   It is a one-of-a-kind vehicle; probably one of the nicest old Willys flat fenders in the country.  It turns heads and makes thumbs go up!”

It looks very nice and has some good updates.

Lots of good prices on the east coast today.  Here’s another one:  A running CJ-3B for $1200 (at least, from the description it sounds like it runs).

“1956 Willys Jeep CJ3B. 4cyl 134 cuinch F head motor is good, driveline is solid. Tub is in bad shape where seats (used to be) mounted. Frame is good, and hood, cowl, winshield and frame, front fenders are good. Has original factory heater and full lighting package. Original 6v system. Rear tailgate and rear deck are good. really just needs the tub taken off and re-done.
Has been sitting in a barn waiting for a restore for many years. Call Pat 781-706-7211.  No tire kickers please. This is a 50+ year old vehicle that needs work. Thanks for looking.”

It appears this CJ-3B has not tailgate.  I’m not sure if that’s a customization or not.  I have not heard of CJ-3Bs that have no tailgates.  The body looks pretty rough.

“1958 Willys jeep CJ3B. Needs a new Body. It has lock out hubs, Superlift suspension and 32″ Coopers. It runs with an auxillary fuel tank and needs a carb rebuild. Engine is nice and quiet, transmission shifts good, 4×4 works. I was using it in the woods untill a front brakeline broke. Good candidate for restoration, or a woods beater with a little TLC beforehand. Email – cpc69@aol.com.  Phone – 860-455-1013”

This is a great looking, early CJ-3B.

“One sweet little JEEP for a true JEEP lover.  This Willys is all original – nothing added and nothing missing.  I’ve owned it since 2002 when I spotted her frolicking on the beach at Hatteras Island, NC.  It was love at first sight.  I’ve had  7 fun years with it and I feel its time to move on and let someone else have some fun.  I have had the brakes redone along with new stock shocks.  Tires are in good shape but could use a new spare.  The top is in fair shape and should give good service for a while.  This Jeep has the original upolstry and rear bench seat.  All body parts are original and show no signs of rust…. ”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2200

At first I thought that was rust on the body, but I think that’s the paint job.

“it is alot of fun….It has a ford 200 strait 6 skyjacker lift runs strong needs love.”

UPDATE:  The price has dropped to $2200.  Pics now available.

The pics should be posted this evening.  This might be a great price.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000

The seller of this jeep claims it only has 4,051 miles.  If that’s true, then this might be a pretty good deal.  Maybe it’s just the lighting, but the back of the jeep looks like it’s a bit more faded then the rest.

“Mileage: 4051, Includes: Winch, Tow Bar, White Kayline Soft top, Extra Gas Tank, Set of on road & off road tires. Needs some work, great project vehicle. Everything is Original! Only 4051 miles! Let me know if you want more pictures!”

It seems the hood overhangs the grille a little more than I would think it should.  Not sure exactly why that is.  I also haven’t seen too many batteries mounted on the driver’s side.

UPDATE:  Still Available

A reader submitted this great find.  As the seller suggests, this looks pretty bone stock.  I can’t quite tell if the sides of the body are rusty or not.

Except for some minor issues, such as the bend in the hood at the middle and missing items from the dashboard, this looks pretty good.

UPDATE:  The price has, inexplicably, gone up $2000 to $34,900 over the past month.

A reader reminded me that this is only 2 wheel drive and that it’s been for sale for a few years.  But, it’s a nice looking CJ-3B, so I thought it was worth posting.

UPDATE: The price on this was $800, which just goes to show that there are some great deals if you look hard enough ….

Here’s a CJ-3B parts jeep with a never-mounted replacement body.  This is definitely worth a look.

**SOLD**

UPDATE:  The price has dropped to $5000. This has been for sale since Aug.

This seller has installed a variety of new parts on this CJ-3B (and I think lists every single one in the ad).  Looks like the body’s in decent shape.  I’m thinking the seller was attempting to restore it, but now needs to sell it.
