1953 CJ-3A Boise, ID $13,995

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

UPDATE: This is now being sold by a dealership. The lengthy list of “Vehicle Options” is quite strange.

(10/11/2022) This jeep came out of the Fresno, California, area and has been for sale previously. It’s got a Muller top, expanded windshield, and doors similar to some other California-jeeps from that region. One thing I hadn’t noticed was that the generator has a power steering pump mounted behind it. Is that out of some vehicle? It seems like a handy setup.

Unusual Windshield on MB

• CATEGORIES: Features • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: As Barney notes in the comments, it appears to be a windshield adapted from a Mighty Mite. You can see an example here: http://www.ewillys.com/wp-content/uploads2/2020/11/year-m422a1-imperial-ca1.jpg

Buz just acquired this MB that has an unusual windshield setup. I have seen some bubba jobs similar to this windshield, but someone did this much better than most. It does not appear to be an M-38A1 windshield (too narrow), but it doesn’t appear to be a CJ-3A/DJ-3A windshield (curved top holder). Anyone recognize it?

He described the windshield this way:

I bought this 1943 Willys MB with this unusual style M38A1 windshield assembly. It is narrower than the M38A1 windshield and this one has not been cut and welded. Also a very precise adaptation to the cowl to mount the windshield. No doubt it probably harms the value of the 1943 model, but it has to have been some sort of factory modification, it’s not a home brew bubba job. Have you ever seen anything similar to this?  I have the history of this jeep back to 1947. The first civilian registration was issued in 1947 to E. W. Worrell who paid $800 for it in Hillsville, VA.

Here are some pics.

(09/05/2022) This oddity is supposed to be built atop a 1942 GPW chassis.

“Willys Jeep rolling chassis with custom built aluminum body unique vehicle one of a kind just don’t got time to finish it. No motor, trans, or title. Great condition for being from ww2 would make great frame to restore a gpw or finish it as it is.”

It’s been sitting for a while. Has a modified windshield.

“I purchased the Willy’s Jeep in 1979 as a third vehicle to our family to enjoy some 4-wheeling, sand pit crawling and rock climbing. The Jeep was put in storage around 1992 and the engine was fogged to preserve it during storage. Upon waking the Jeep up from storage a few weeks ago, the following items were updated or replaced”

1963 M-606? Perkasie, PA **Status Unknown**

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3B, M-606 (military CJ-3B) • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was on eBay…. This was listed back in 2014.

Glenn shared this one. It doesn’t seem to have any ‘WILLYS’ or ‘JEEP’ stampings anywhere, suggesting it could be military, but it also could have produced following the decision to stop jeeps with “WILLYS” on them. It does have a ventilating windshield, along with a Koenig hardtop.

“Willys. Cj 3B, military version, M606.

Has military options like fold out windshield, trailer plug, tow hooks, hard top, etc.

Runs great, needs nothing. Small rust in passenger side floor and crack in windshield. Low milaeage, very rare model, most were made for export.”
