DESCRIPTION
One of the most likely origins of the word "jeep' was from the Popeye cartoon series. Eugene the Jeep was his "jungle pet", small and able to solve impossible problems. At the time, as war raged in Europe, the earliest Jeeps formed a lasting impression on American soldiers probably helping the adoption of the term Jeep. Even more impressive was the time taken from concept to production of a design that has stood the test of time and become an unlikely motoring icon. From tenders being sent out to a production run took less than two hundred days.
After the war the CJ-3B was introduced by owners, Kaiser, replacing its predecessor, the CJ-2B model. Production of this model ran from 1953 through to 1963.
Offered here is a right-hand drive CJ-3B Jeep, in need of a total restoration. The vehicle is largely complete but unfortunately nothing can be traced of the history of this vehicle. Sold with taxes paid, this makes for an interesting project for the forthcoming months.
