That’s a colorful jeep!
“This time capsule Jeep CJ5 comes straight out of the seventies with it’s four-color metal flake custom paint. This is base-coat / clear coat with metal flake and bright metallic that shines beautifully in the sun.
Built using a new all steel (Chrysler Licensed) reproduction body tub on a very nice original chassis; The hood, radiator support and front fenders are also new steel. There is no rust of any kind on the body. The frame is in excellent condition with only minor surface rust and no structural issues that I have found.
The Jeep starts and runs well with no smoke or unusual noises; powered by an original type Dauntless V6 engine and three speed manual transmission. The front axle has Warn locking hubs for highway use. This Jeep has been in storage for a few years and was freshened up to get it running and driving again. The clutch and brakes work well, but the brakes will need some adjustment as it pulls left a bit when braking.
A complete bestop soft top and soft doors are included. Tailgate is not present on the vehicle. Tires are in excellent condition. Original type tail lights, oil bath air cleaner and some miscellaneous parts are also included.”

Caveat Emptor! This CJ5 was offered up for sale last year in Connecticut with out a title.
I was thinking about looking at this one. It’s not too far from me. I’m no expert but I’ve picked off a few things that don’t look right from the pics (aside from the paint) lol. Can anyone with more knowledge help me with what to look out for on this one? I noticed the misfit hood & I think the battery box should be on the cowl on this year. Was the six an option that year? Any info would be appreciated. Thx.
Depends on what you’re looking for in a jeep. This jeep has a complete reproduction body (not original steel body)and that’s why you see no battery box lid on cowl, wrong hood hinges, etc. Also, a 1960 cj5 would of had the f134 engine. Not a collector type jeep for originality. But if you want a clean, rust free jeep then this would work
