"correct original details"????? I wasn't aware M38 tool indents were ever used on a 3B-along with the handles, bow brackets, or that fuel filter, etc, etc. And the tub definately had some work done. Reasonably nice 3B but not $8,800 in my book. But what do I know?

looks good, but kinda crazy on the "original details" I'd expect more out of Barrett-Jackson

The tub on my '53 3B also has the pioneer tool indentions as this one does, but for sure, mine is an early aftermarket product of unknown manufacturer.

No way you could build that for 8800. Somebody lost a lot of money on that one.
Lotsa Jeeps, and a few extra parts

For that kind of money I'd expect a 100 point restoration. Seat coverings are wrong, Taillights are wrong, I don't know if that is an electric fuel pump or gas filter on firewall near steering column, Front marker lights are wrong, Never seen the handles,top bows or tools on a 3B(maybe M606?), Used cheap lockout hubs. Vacuum line for wipers run outside the driver's side of the body?, Clutch & Brake pedals missing felts around shafts, E-brake handle may be wrong for 1960 - T-handle style needed? Clutch & Brake pedals may be wrong for 1960 - should use rubber cover style pedal and Missing rubber horn button cap? You are right though, there's probably way more than $8800 in that 3B. Barrett- Jackson always tacks on a BUYER'S premium in addition to the SELLER'S premium plus Tag, Title Tax and Shipping so you will have way more than the asking price before you are done with that beauty.

it is a very nice 3b, i have always been partial to the ax and shovel look, i think even the new jeeps should have that option. ha but the biggest bloopers i see are in Barrett Jackson's listing, "Authentic and rare CJ3B" "Has original OHC 4-cylinder" yes it certainly would be rare if it had an overhead cam 4-cylinder. :D
53 3b, early cj5 frame (hurricane),2.43 ratio t case 26 tooth with 1 1/4" case (my own creation), late 60's c5 ross steering box, all range od, parts from a welder generator, and parts from about 9 different jeeps and counting. my every last penny and ounce of patients creates what we call the FrAnken B, the jeep that never was
