1955 CJ-5 Clinton, TN **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ5 • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD**

(06/04/2017) Looks nice. This has an early 0-10 speedo, but the front spring shackles aren’t reversed. I believe they should be reversed if this is truly a ’55 (I thought the springs were reversed at least into ’56?).

“1955 Jeep Willys – 4 wheel drive, manual transmission, 2.2 4 cylinder engine, new tires. Starts….runs….drives….4 wheel drive works. Body is in good shape with little to no rust. Top included. Clear title in hand. Asking $7,000 Open to offers and trades.”

1961 FJ-3 Raleigh, NC **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: FJ • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD**

(06/06/2017) Looks like some money was spent on this rebuild.

“This is a very rare 1961 Willys FJ3 Postal Van with original F134 Flat Head 4 and Borg Warner automatic transmission.
There is none nicer – Just completed the professional Exotic Coach Specialist 4 year mechanical restoration includes a long block rebuild, transmission, rear end, 12 volt wiring harness, brakes, cooling system, new carb, custom aluminum fuel tank, custom seats and so on. Too much to list. Van runs and drives great. Odometer reads 74,000 but just approximately 100 miles since rebuild. Top speed is 55 mph. Own a piece of history with this right side drive postal van made by Willys in Toledo, Ohio.”

1962 Maverick Wagon Trim **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: Parts This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

Mike has some Maverick trim for sale.

“Full stainless steel trim set from a 1962 Willys Maverick Wagon. The Maverick was the top of the line wagon, with stainless trim everywhere. This trim is in VERY GOOD condition, with typical oxidation. None of the trim has been cut, bent or damaged in any way. Note: the tailgate trim is a different profile than the other trim – so I cannot be sure it is OEM. It appears to be the correct length however. Buyer pays for shipping.

The trim you see that is taped on the vehicle was done so for your reference only. It was carefully removed by me prior to bringing this vehicle home. I did not want to take any chances on losing it.

Let me know if you need other Maverick parts. I have some interior door panels also.”
