1957 WILLYS CJ3B $9,995.00 Willys (correctly pronounced "Will-is", but almost universally as "Will-eez" was the brand name used by Willys-Overland Motors, an American automobile company best known for its design and production of military Jeeps (MBs) and civilian versions (CJs) during the 20th century. Production of the Willys MB, better known as Jeep, began in 1941, shared between Willys, Ford and American Bantam which had initiated the original Jeep body design. The origin of the name "Jeep" has been debated for many years. Some people believe "Jeep" is a phonetic pronunciation of the abbreviation GP, from "General Purpose", that was used as part of the official Army nomenclature. The first documented use of the word "Jeep" was the name of a character Eugene the Jeep in the Popeye comic strip, known for his supernatural abilities (e.g., walking through walls). It was also the name of a small tractor made by Minneapolis-Moline before World War II. Whatever the source, the name stuck and, after the war, Willys filed a successful trademark claim for the name. This Willys has the L34, 134 cubic inch, 4-cylinder engine. We have receipts totaling around $15,000.00 although the previous owner said he spent about $20,000.00 on it. These receipts include a rebuilt engine, rebuilt gear box, rebuilt clutch, resurfaced flywheel, new Monroe shocks, various light lenses, switches, hoses, speedo cable to name a few. It has a near new canvas top and a new set of tyres. It is a tidy vehicle that has had a lot done to it mechanically. Finished in Army Green with Tan interior and Top. Price: $9,995
