1956 Jeep Willys CJ-5 $2,000 Placerville, CA

So I got nothing on this one, it’;s really rough, maybe you need some parts for a project but with the overall condition I would worry about most anything off this one that is drivetrain so talking like brackets and the smalls.

The real reason this stood out was the Data Plate, a little while back there was a CJ-6 where the Model Number was smaller then the Serial Number, and here is another similar age almost identical model number smaller then serial number and the screws are legit Willys data plate screws IMO.

The Data Plate is tad Wavy so I think its been off the rig one time, probably to paint it red, who knows.

So just adding to that story for folks. My initial guess is that they pre-stamped these model numbers in a different area then the final Serial Numbers and the Stamps were different, who knows, that’s my version of the story.

Would like a Milwaukee Battery Drill be a good trade for this? Too much? I’m kind of at grab something off a Holiday Sale rack and try it out as a trade if you need some small bits off this one. But like have a bit driver set with the deal so it’s turn key here is a working drill/impact and some new bits and drivers load up and head home.

I have a ’48 Parts Truck that would work for that thing all day if the person needed the thing.

I think even the smaller Snow Blowers is too much trade anymore they are darn pricey.

1958 Willys Jeep CJ-6 $3,000 Manteca, CA

Now this is cool if it’s legit and I hope that it is. CJ-6, good price looks solid in most areas, has that 0-9 transition period speedo which I like, its beyond rough looking but still a cool piece.

Anyone else catch that post about this style speedo that was stolen from a USPS shipment and it was found on eBay, they are just too unique to have a near perfect one out there they really stand out amongst the crowd IMO. As far as some super rare unobtanium deal, NO, and my opinion is one of rare does not equal valuable. If anything rare stuff is a liability at times.

OK back to this rig, I could use this for a project…. But you are always better to buy the best example you can afford. It’s cool mostly due to the price point and you can do some basic clean up and probably have a nice safe, running, and driving project for under $10k. Line-X or anything can be tricky if put over rust, I doubt its physically Line-X because that stuff is the real deal. Hopefully its just the FLAPS rubber in a can that peels right off.

The half cab is also a cool feature.
