1953 WILLYS JEEP CJ-3B FIRST YEAR OF PRODUCTION. ORIGINAL CONDITION WITH APPROX. 52000 MILES 4WD HIGH/LOW RANGE FREE WHEELING HUBS. ORIGINAL 3 SPD. TRANSMISSION AND 2 SPEED TRANSFER CASE. 5:38 GEARING. BF GOODRICH TIRES AND ALUMINUM WHEELS ON VEHICLE AND I ALSO HAVE THE ORIGINAL WHEELS. I BOUGHT THIS JEEP 25 YEARS AGO AND AT THE TIME IT WAS UP ON BLOCKS FOR 15 YEARS. I REBUILT THE TRANSMISSION, TRANSFER CASE, ENGINE,STEERING, BRAKES, GENERATOR AND STARTER. I ALSO PUT IN A NEW CLUTCH. I REPLACED THE GAS TANK WITH A NEW ONE BUT HAVE THE ORIGINAL. I PUT A LOCKABLE BACK SEAT TOOL BOX IN AND RECOVERED THE ORIGINAL SEATS. THE GUAGES ARE ORIGINAL EXCEPT FOR ONE BUT I HAVE THE ORIGINAL. IT HAS THE ORIGINAL HEATER IN IT BUT I HONESTLY DON'T KNOW IF IT WORKS OR NOT. I DO KNOW IT HAS NO LEAKS. I HAVE IT BYPASSED RIGHT NOW BECAUSE I NEVER USED IT. THERE ARE A COUPLE VERY MINOR RUST SPOTS NEAR THE TAIL LIGHTS BUT AS I SAY MINOR. OTHERWISE THE BODY AND FRAME ARE SOLID. I WELDED A COUPLE CRACKS IN THE FENDERS AND YOU CAN SEE IT BUT IT IS NOT OF ANY CONSEQUENCE. SINCE THE REBUILDS, WHICH WERE YEARS AGO, THERE IS PROBABLY NOT MORE THAN 2000 MILES OF USE. IT HAS A BESTOP TOP WITH DOORS. THE JEEP RUNS DOWN THE ROAD AT 50-60 MPH AS STRAIGHT AS AN ARROW WITH NO SHIMMY OR WOBBLES. THIS IS HOW IT IS NOW, BUT BECAUSE OF THE AGE OF THIS VEHICLE I WILL NOT GUARANTEE ANYTHING. THE ONLY ISSUES RIGHT NOW ARE 2. I TOOK THE CARBURATOR OFF AND CLEANED IT, ETC. BUT SINCE I PUT IT BACK ON, THE ENGINE RUNS RICH. COULD BE FLOAT. IF I HAVE TIME I WILL WORK ON IT, HOWEVER I WANT TO SELL IT AND LET THE BUYER TAKE CARE OF IT. ALSO, I NEED TO CHECK THE BRAKES BEAUSE ALL OF A SUDDEN IT PULLS, SO I WILL CHECK THE FLUID, ETC. IT HAS ORIGINAL WIRING BUT ALL WORKS. 6 VOLT SYSTEM. BECAUSE IT SITS ALL THE TIME IT HAS DEVELOPED LEAKS FROM THE TRANS AND TRANSFER CASE. OLD JEEPS ARE DIFFICULT TO STOP ALL LEAKS BUT I AM PRETTY SURE THESE ARE FROM DRYED OUT SEALS. I WOULD NOT HESITATE TO TAKE THIS JEEP ANYWHERE, BUT I KNOW IT AND AS I SAID, I WILL NOT GUARANTEE ANYTHING. IT IS A GOOD OLD ORIGINAL JEEP. YOU WILL HAVE TO ARRANGE SHIPPING OR PICK UP. THANK YOU
