UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer
“Hi I’m selling a California rhd mail jeep.
Fair condition has some rust(shown in picture)
Motor turns on, and car drives.
If you have questions don’t hesitate to contact me
Taking any reasonable offers, but don’t insult me with lowball offers. Serious buyers only please”
Not a 61, amazes me that people don’t know what they own. This one has the extended front grill which would indicate a 6 cylinder engine. The first mail Jeeps had 4 cylinder engines and appeared in the late 1960’s. Then somewhere along in the 1970’s The Post Office decided the 4 cylinder wasn’t powerful enough and that’s when the 6 cylinder became the standard engine. More trivia, but everyone knows I need to put my two cents in.
I think by the time AMC got the bid for these DJ5s, they only had the 6 cylinder engine to put in them. The Peugot engines didn’t work out, I guess. Hence the extended grilles??
is your 1961 dj-5 still available?…please call me and leave message as i am on the road most of the time
Hi Chito,
