More about this car
This 1953 Willys CJ-3B was previously owned by ICON 4×4, who reportedly used the truck when designing their ICON CJ-3B. It was refurbished in 2013 and is finished in green over black upholstery. Powered by a 134.2ci inline-four linked to a three-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case, the truck is also equipped with 15″ steel wheels, a folding windshield, a roll bar, a drop-down tailgate, and front lap belts. This CJ-3B is offered at no reserve with service records and a California title in the seller’s name. The 134.2ci F-Head inline-four was reportedly overhauled under prior ownership in 2013. The battery was re-charged in December 2025. Additional recent work is said to have included rebuilding the cylinder head and replacing the wiring.
What the pictures show
- Gallery: 50 photos from the Bring a Trailer listing, sampled across the full set in source order.
- Photos are the seller's own listing photos at original resolution (up to 2048×1369 in the sample) — zoom the gallery for panel, trim and finish detail.
- What the photos can't settle — underside condition, cold-start and driving behaviour — is not judged here.
Money: current bid $5,500, auction ends November 17, 2026 — the number that matters is the closing bid, not an asking price.
