This "high-hood" Jeep was essentially a CJ-3A with the taller
F-head engine fitted and a "hood-ectomy" to give clearance. Though it
may have been intended as an interim model prior to the intro of the CJ-5, it
stayed in production well into the sixties as a shorter-wheelbase option. With
only a few thousand a year built, many of them exported, there are not many
CJ-3B's around. A total of 155,494 were assembled in the U.S. Strangely enough,
they are still being built under licence in India under the Mahindra nameplate.
This restored 1961 CJ-3B belongs to Derek Redmond of Kingston, Ontario. (Derek
