“This particular CJ6 was modified in the early 70s during the muscle car era and it shows. It was outfitted with a Chevy Corvette 327 motor, Muncie 4 speed, roll bar, and custom dash with Stewart Warner Gauges. The Jeep has the original Dana 44 rear end and Dana 25 closed knuckle front end with Superwinch Selectable hubs, geared 5.38:1, I suspect as it came stock from the factory – it will pull your house down. The tires are 31” like new, full tread Goodyear Wranglers mounted on thick steel wagon wheels. The Jeep has a Superlift suspension lift. The full top is an original Bestop and it fits like a glove. The entire Jeep was repainted inside and out, top and bottom, and the interior was painted with a fleck gray bedliner. This Jeep is almost 60 years old, and after more than 40 years since it was painted, there is very little surface rust and zero rot. I have not seen a CJ6 advertised in the local area for over a year. About a dozen each year on Ebay, and you will be hard put to find one as clean as this one, particulary a first model year. While it has been stored inside, the paint is showing it’s age, cracking and spider webbing in several spots, and there is one small dent on the right rear corner. The body and frame is absolutely solid from front to rear, top to bottom.


The Jeep only has about 5400 miles put on it since being built back in the 70s. It starts instantly and runs like a beast. You will simply not find a more unique Jeep anywhere in the Hampton Roads area. I had visions of making it more of a daily driver and getting more use out of it. I had started some things but ran out of steam, and other projects have gotten in the way. So far I have restored the full soft top (new windows, professionally and fully restitched), added new front and rear seats and belts, upgraded to 11-inch drum brakes all around, rewired the entire Jeep (yes, ALL electrical works as it should), added a digital RetroSound radio with aux/iPod inputs, and added a Warn Overdrive for more manageable on-road jaunts. I have purchased but not installed the parts to convert to hanging pedals, hydraulic clutch and power brakes, and had also planned to add Saginaw power steering, just haven’t gotten around to it yet.

    I bought it Sunday….. been looking for one for a while and they are hard to come by in my area without major rust issues. Needs a few minor things here and there but this was turn key and drive and I got it for considerably less than his asking price 🙂
