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.

Chrysler recalling 644k more Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs over brakes
Wed, 02 Apr 2014Early last month, we reported on Chrysler issuing a preemptive, proactive recall for about 25,000 units of the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango. The issue revolved around a brake system that wasn't causing any actual problems, but delivered an unsatisfactory brake feel, so Auburn Hills called in a good 25,000 of SUVs around the world, including 18,700 in the United States.
Now Chrysler, having apparently determined that the brake problem on its sport utes is actually much bigger than it initially realized, has drastically broadened the scope of the recall. As a result, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for precisely 655,354 examples of the Grand Cherokee and Durango, covering the 2011 through 2014 model years. In addition, Chrysler is recalling 42,380 units in Canada, 21,376 in Mexico and 159,685 overseas.
The problem which Chrysler found revolves around the brake booster, whose center shell has been found to be subject to corrosion, allowing water to get into the brake system. That water in turn could freeze, preventing the brakes from working as well as expected.
Jeep Wrangler Copper Crawler is our idea of a restrained Mopar shopping spree
Thu, 07 Nov 2013According to a recent report, the Jeep Wrangler is the most popular SUV for customization, and this is backed up by the fact that the iconic off-roader was just named the Hottest 4x4-SUV at SEMA for the fourth year in a row. Looking for ways to keep its customers in-house rather than going aftermarket, Jeep and Mopar are always teaming to offer exciting new parts and pieces for the JK Wrangler.
Compared to most other Wranglers on display at SEMA - as well as other Chrysler Mopar SEMA concepts - the Jeep Wrangler Copper Crawler is surprisingly reserved, but should be no less exciting for owners to give their Wrangler a distinctive look. Starting off with an eye-catching copper paint scheme, the Jeep then goes on a Mopar catalog shopping spree with its matte black grille, black beadlock wheels, two-inch lift, Rubicon bumper (with a winch and aero end caps up front) and rocker panel and taillight guards.
Jeep also upgraded the Wrangler's transfer case for low-speed rock crawling (hence the vehicle's name) and cold-air intake for extra measure.
Radical 2016 Jeep Wrangler suggested by job listings?
Fri, 31 May 2013With most inside the industry expecting the next-generation Jeep Wrangler to arrive for the 2016 model year, it makes sense that the automaker would be looking for some choice candidates to to fill program openings as the off-roader goes through its development. A recent ad on Chryslercareers.com suggests to some that the lightweight Wrangler Stitch Concept, revealed just two months ago and shown above, provides some clues about the off-road icon's next iteration.
According to Automotive News, the job descriptions - which don't name the model specifically - hint that the next-generation Wrangler will benefit from a serious diet. The ads appear to seek those familiar with advanced high-strength steels, hinting that lightweight aluminum body panels may appear on the 4x4. In addition, there are suggestions that Jeep may fit the Wrangler replacement with air suspension, as seen on the Ram and Grand Cherokee, to retain ample off-road clearance yet lower that chassis to improve aerodynamics at highway speeds. The job postings reportedly also lend credence to the idea of a diesel Wrangler.
It seems every bit of the next-generation Wrangler is up for review, as it will be the first time this iconic model is redesigned under Fiat ownership. Questions remain whether or not the Jeep will retain its clip-down hood, easy-to-remove door pins and folding front windshield - loyalists expect them, but fuel economy and safety standards may crimp their cases for survival.
