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. I will guarantee that it starts.

7 months later, Jeep 'trailer hitch' recall still stalled
Tue, 14 Jan 2014For the past few years, Chrysler and its CEO, Sergio Marchionne, have gone head-to-head with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and its boss, David Strickland, over the government safety agency's request for Chrysler to recall almost three-million Jeep vehicles due to what NHTSA says is a safety issue that has caused at least 51 deaths. After a three-year investigation and Chrysler's initial refusal to issue a recall because it deemed the vehicles safe and built to the day's federal requirements, last summer, the two parties compromised on a "voluntary campaign" to inspect 1.56 million vehicles, those being the 1992 to 1998 Grand Cherokee and 2002 to 2007 Liberty.
Those vehicles were designed with their gas tanks between the rear axle and the bumper, and NHTSA says that in rear-end collisions, damage to the fuel tank has caused fires responsible for those 51 deaths. The compromise reached last summer was that Chrysler would inspect 1.56 million vehicles and, "if necessary, provide an upgrade to the rear structure of the vehicle." Practically speaking, that meant Chrysler would replace aftermarket trailer hitches, but would take no action if a vehicle had a factory-installed hitch or an aftermarket hitch from Mopar.
A report in The Detroit News says the "voluntary campaign" is just now getting under way, with Chrysler saying last week that the design of the replacement part had been finalized and it was tooling up "to deliver the required volume." Seven months later, still in question is whether NHTSA will crash-test the fix engineered by Chrysler, noteworthy because not only did the vehicles in question pass every safety standard necessary to be cleared for sale at the time, there are still questions (to those of us on the outside) as to how the Jeeps at issue fare among their peers in such incidents. Either way, Chrysler and NHTSA apparently still disagree on the efficacy of the remedy itself: the carmaker says it might help in low-speed crashes but not high-speed collisions, a position the NHTSA is at odds with. All of this means the campaign doesn't yet have an end in sight.
Jeep Wrangler by Vilner takes extreme luxury off-road
Mon, 20 Jan 2014Vilner turned its customary and intensely luxurious attentions to a two-door Jeep Wrangler Sahara Unlimited back in 2012, following that up this year with its take on the four-door version. A coat of lustrous black paint outside is brightened up LED headlights, foglights and taillights and layers of chrome laid on the grille, mirrors, door handles and fuel filler cap.
Stance gets an injection of brawn from the 20-inch wheels, and they'll roll faster thanks to the power upgrade from 197 horsepower and 339 pound-feet of torque in the 2.8-liter diesel to 257 hp and 412 lb-ft.
Inside is furious red, with cross-stitched crimson leather and Alcantara demanding your focus. When you can look away from that, you'll find the raw metal parts painted black and again ornamented in minor applications of chrome. Feel free to feast on it in the high-res gallery above.
Chrysler accelerates Jeep recall repairs from 2018 to March
Thu, 17 Jul 2014
You may remember that Jeep's unusual fix for this recall involves fitting a trailer hitch.
The recall of about 1.5 million models of the 2002-2007 Jeep Liberty and 1993-1998 Grand Cherokee over fuel tanks may finish far sooner than originally estimated. In a new filing from Jeep's parent, Chrysler Group, with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the company says that it can complete the repairs for the affected vehicles by March 2015, much sooner than the previous estimate of sometime in 2018. Jeep predicts the total cost of the campaign will be around $151 million.
