I have a 1957 Willys cj3b according to title.. good ohio title but the serial number on frame begins with 453 which makes it a 1953 frame maybe a typo on the title. This was a barn find in Southern Ohio used exclusively on the farm. The standard jeep metal tub removed and replaced with a Parkette (brand)fiberglass tub handmade in the Pacific Northwest. According to ewillys.com this is pretty rare to find a parkette this far east of the Mississippi, most are in the Pacific Northwest and California and Oregon. This has a full roll cage as you can see in the pictures goes all the way to a frame mount. I just put on newer rehap'ed wheels on it with brand new Goodyear Tires. Has brand new Summit Racing headers installed no mufflers.
This has no gauges or speedo on the dash just light switch, all the wires are there but somebody decided they didn't need instruments. Body is in near original shape no cracks or splits. has a Parkette tail gate. Doesn't have front fenders on as you can see in the pics but I just picked up a couple that need rehap'ed. Needs new brakes and new brake lines in the rear.Has trailer hitch. Needs new shocks. I have removed the gas tank and cleaned it inside and out, blasted the outside and repainted needs to be reinstalled. Starts and runs on aux gas tank right now. Needs steering gear re connected has power steering as you can see in the pictures bolts are out of the steering knuckle.
I think in a few hours in your garage or your mechanics garage.. you can be off roading next weekend.
This vehicle must be picked up locally in 44262 zipcode. I will work with your shipper if your out of the northeast ohio area at your expense. will not ship outside USA under an circumstances This is an as is purchase with no warranty expressed or implied as is where is.

NHTSA investigates FCA for SUVs that roll out of Park
Tue, Aug 25 2015The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening a preliminary evaluation into the 2014 Dodge Durango and 2014-205 Jeep Grand Cherokee after 14 complaints of the SUVs rolling out of Park. An estimated 408,000 of them could be affected, if a recall is necessary. All of the current complaints submitted to NHTSA about the issue concern the Grand Cherokee, and the claims allege that the SUV can roll out of Park whether or not the engine is running. Some folks report that they check the indicator each time because the gear sometimes fails to engage. Among the 14 cases, there are five accounts of crashes and three injuries, including a situation with someone allegedly being rolled over. NHTSA's preliminary evaluations are meant to investigate "the scope, frequency, and safety-related consequence" of a reported problem. They don't necessarily lead to a recall.

The unintended motion has occurred with both the engine off and the engine running. ODI has also identified EWR field report data related to the alleged defect. The model year 2014 and 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles are equipped with an electronic gear selector (shift-by-wire system). The gear selection is made by pressing the shifter-paddle forward or backwards; the shifter does not move along a gate path as with conventional gear selectors. A Preliminary Evaluation has been opened to asses the scope, frequency, and safety-related consequence of the alleged defect. The VOQs associated with the opening of this investigation are: 10733158, 10730952, 10683556, 10679497, 10583366, 10725429, 10715401, 10711893, 10676998, 10668651, 10662619, 10662308, 10605865, and 10567538.

Chinese Jeep production confirmed with Fiat, Guangzhou agreement
Wed, 21 Aug 2013Fiat has just finalized a deal originally set up in January between it and China's Guangzhou Automotive Group to bring Jeep production to China. It remains unclear which models will be built, although we're wagering that it'll be the 2014 Cherokee. What we do know, now, is where production will take place.
According to Automotive News, Guangzhou originally wanted production to take place in its home assembly plant in its namesake city. Fiat has battled to send production to a joint venture facility established between Guangzhou and Fiat in the town of Changsha. The joint facility won out, and now the factory, originally built in 2010 with a 140,000-unit capacity, will see Jeeps rolling out of it.
Currently, the GAC-Fiat factory produces the Fiat Viaggio, a jointly developed product that is closely related to America's Dodge Dart. And while it remains unclear as to which model will join the Viaggio on the assembly line, that model is understood to ride on Fiat's Compact platform. The only Jeep to share those underpinnings is the new Cherokee, so there's not much connecting of dots needed to see why this scenario would make sense.
