1955' Jeep Willys

I am selling restoration project from A to Z…

Jeep completely dismantled, chassis stripped and not rotten. Original matte green paint, new tires with military tread. An investment of over 15,000 eur was made between material imported from the USA, new hood, new tires, seats, pressure gauges, clutch kit, engine all repaired and overhauled, filters and all the original Jeep material.

This jeep is inspected and certified by the Automóvel Club de Portugal as a vehicle of historic interest and exempt from inspection until January 2026.

Excellent example for those looking for an original jeep that stands out as well as an authentic war tank and goes everywhere and climbs walls.

The Jeep Universal CJ-3B was first produced by Willys-Overland in 1953, closely following in the footsteps of its 1/4-ton predecessors, the CJ-2A and CJ-3A, civilian models aimed primarily at agricultural applications. and industrial. With the end of World War II, Willys-Overland began promoting the CJs as civilian models that extended beyond the scope of the militarized MB, pitched as "all-purpose" vehicles in advertisements at the time, first with the CJ-2A. in 1945, followed by an updated but still very similar version (CJ-3A) from 1949 - 1953, and then with the more significantly modified CJ-3B from 1953-1964.

The same year the CJ-3B was launched, the Willys-Overland was sold to the Kaiser-Frazer Corporation, which adopted the Willys Motors name until 1964. The CJ-3B, a transitional model that shortened the distance between the CJ and the M38-A1, while similar in many ways to the 2A and 3A, had one big difference: the new F-Head Hurricane engine, which delivered more power but required a taller hood, a structural feature that also distinguished it from CJs. previous. The new Hurricane engine showed a marked improvement in performance, with larger intake valves in the cylinder head and improved fuel economy. While historical information on the CJ-3Bs seems harder to come by than other CJs, they remain part of the flat fender family to this day, as some variants are still produced under license from Willys by Mahindra and Mahindra of India.

Selling due to lack of time to enjoy and to be involved in another restoration project.
