This is one of the neatest CJ's I have ever seen and no expense was spared to bring it to the gorgeous condition it is in today. The CJ3B is essentially the civilian version of the Willys-Overland MB military jeep that helped the allies win the war in 1945. Civilian production of the CJ3B began in July of 1953 and ran through 1968. Altogether 37,551 CJ3B's were built for 1953. The Body, Serial, and Frame numbers all match and this Jeep was a very early production being just the 8396th CJ3B ever produced. A full frame off restoration was just completed with less than 700 miles on the build. Don't miss your chance to own a rare piece of American history...BID NOW!

I have inspected the body and can not find any obvious rust or repair patches whatsoever. The Jeep has lived its life in dry Arizona and Colorado and has always been well cared for. The paint on the Jeep is a Jade Green Metallic, a more classy upgrade from olive drab and looks simply awesome. The Jeep is straight as an arrow and the paint job is very nice. The Jeep has been completely inspected underneath from front to back and is solid as a rock as an western car should be. The bottom of the tub, as well as wheel wells are painted green just like the top. The rubber seals under the hood and windshield are new. Every nut, and bolt was removed before paint, cleaned painted correctly then re-installed. The meticulous level of the restoration is obvious when walking around this CJ. The underside was also nicely redone and all suspension, axles, and floors were nicely sprayed with semi-gloss black. The car is riding on original wheels with brand new 15" Military Tires which really give this little jeep an aggressive look, just like your Tonka toys when you were a kid! The interior is in great shape all around. The dash and door windshield are in very nice condition and the glass is chip free. The black seats are all brand new and look very nice. All dials and controls function as they should and are illuminated at night. All of the latches and hardware were nicely painted bringing the attention to detail to the inside as well as out. Mechanically, this CJ runs GREAT! The Jeep starts right up and shifts quite easily. The Hurricane engine has been fully rebuilt and runs like a top. Nothing leaks at all and the engine runs great! Every mechanical system on this Jeep was gone through during the restoration including all new suspension, brakes, electrical and gearbox and axles. The Jeep was built with both reliability and fun in mind and definitely exceeds expectations! All in all, this is one of the cleanest and nicest Jeeps that I have had the privilege of being associated with. It has been professionally restored and truly loved by its previous owners. It was previously appraised and insured for $22,000! This CJ is a fantastic example and will be the envy of any true Jeep lover! Any further questions please call Jon at 480-703-2337.
