UPDATE: Anyone know anything about these jeeps? Tony has one and wanted to get some more information about it.
This gold-plated CJ-5 sold on eBay in 2013.
“THE ULTIMATE JEEP TOY COLLECTORS FIND. THIS GOLD PLATED JEEP TOY I AM TOLD WAS MADE FOR THE WILLYS OVERLAND EXECUTIVES WHEN THEY RETIRED. VERY RARE AND SCARCE. IT IS MADE OF A HEAVY CAST METAL , IS 6″ LONG 2.5″ WIDE . VERY COOL AND VERY CLEAN. AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICS IT IS ORIGINAL AND COMPLETE , THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BUMPER IS BROKEN OFF (THIS IS QUITE TYPICAL ON THESE) AND THE WIND SHIELD WILL FOLD ALL THE WAY BACK AS SEEN IN THE PICS. IT WILL ALSO STAY IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION, WILL DISPLAY VERY NICELY.ALSO HAS ORIGINAL SPARE TIRE.”
I have one of these jeeps, it was given to my grandmother upon retiring from jeep. I have been trying to get more information, what can you tell me abut it? Thanks!
Did you know value of jeep or what they sell for
Ken: I’ve never run across any values for this unusual jeep. I’m guessing neither have readers. It must be a fairly rare item.
