This CJ-5 has been stretched in the middle.
“At some point someone took the 1957 Jeep Willys body from the frame. They cut and extended the body by 13.5 inches right in the middle of the door frame. They sprayed the under body with a rust inhibitor and dropped the body on a late 80’s CJ-7 frame. The AMC straight 6, transmission, axles and etc are all original to the CJ-7 (as far as I know). Registered as a 57 Willys.
I take it out around town twice a month or so. Good BF Good All Terrains on it.
Wanted to tinker with it but don’t have much time or expertise. Now have #2 baby on the way.
A buddy said to start around $4000. Might also be interested in a trade or barter for a different 4×4 I could use as hunting rig, fence work, side by side, 4 wheeler, etc. Let me know!”
looks like you’d need long arms and legs to drive that one!
“and dropped the body on a late 80′s CJ-7 frame. “
Maybe it is a rare 1957 Willys factory CJ-7 prototype.
And I think I should have taken last night off …
