Normally, when somebody throws a mass accessories at a vintage vehicle, it ends up looking like they drove it right through a J.C. Whitney catalog, but this 1955 Willys Jeep CJ-3B for sale on Hemmings.com – though it sports plenty of aftermarket accessories and upgrades – appears to have been kitted out not for appearance but for utility, something the seller emphasized by photographing the Willys in its natural environment: off-road in the Colorado snow. From the seller’s description:
The ultimate 1950′s adventure package with all the vintage aftermarket additions: Sears aluminum cab, Braden power take-off winch with half inch cable, Warren hubs, 2nd gas tank under the passengers seat, and block heater. The electrical system is still the original 6 volt. Includes a Bantam Trailer Corp. munitions type trailer with ball type hitch, originally designed to pair with the CJ Jeep, using the same wheels and rims. This trailer has a fabricated aluminum covered top. There are a total of 8 original rims with vintage bias-ply tube tires in great condition. There is a removable rear seat, and the upholstery is very nice. Other additions include: a handy man jack, spotlight, CB radio set and 8 ½ ft. antenna (with 12 volt to 6 volt converter), conventional AM radio, vintage metal ice chest, and 7 vintage metal jerry cans, all match painted. The vehicle spent more than fifty years living in the comfort of a garage. The upholstery is in great shape.
The engine underwent a full rebuild in 1965 by a precision motor shop in Denver where it had the crankshaft plated in hard chrome, all the moving parts were matched and balanced. In 1979 both the front and rear axles were fitted with positraction differentials. The original spider gear parts are still in good shape and included with jeep. A full set of chains is also included. The performance of The Little Red Jeep with positraction and chains in difficult situations is very impressive.
