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 on this CJ-3B. Never any rust repairs, all original sheet metal. Majority of original paint, touched up here and there over its 50 years. Underside is as 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 to scout around. I didn’t mind doing any mechanical maintenance on a jeep, 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, heater, etc were tended to. It was always garage kept and used primarily for pleasure. 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 put (6 miles) on it and it has spent the rest of its time in a humidity controlled warehouse. Unfortunately, work has kept me at busy and I have had no time to play. It is time to pass the torch on this CJ-3B to someone who can enjoy it!Good luck bidding. This is truly a great example of a clean, solid, well kept CJ-3B.On May-20-11 at 11:08:17 PDT, seller added the following information: NOTE: The second set of pictures reflect the color of the jeep.
