UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2750.
It runs. Looks like the top and doors may be in good shape. Includes a working plow.
“For Sale WITH TITLE is a 1959 Willy’s CJ5 with extras. I bought this a couple months ago to build it, and now we decided to sell our house. So, I have nowhere to go with it! I’m a little miffed, but it is what it is.
With a little squirt of gas into the carb, even on the coldest days, this little gas rocket fires right up. I don’t know much about it being I’ve only had it for a couple of months and havent really touched it outside of adjusting the brakes so it would role better. What I do know is, it needs to be completely gone through. It’s been bastardized by more than a couple people by the looks of it. The good news is that the motor runs well (will need some carb work to work best), and it has a couple of additional things with it.
4×4 locks in and works well.
I cant say for sure, but it seems that it may have had the engine overhauled at one point.
I ended up buying another rolling chassis with it including:
– Front and rear axels, both seem in working/rebuildable order.
– Frame Seems that like it could work for the rebuild (it’s right for the year, but needs some new mounts and brackets welded on)
– 2 – 15″ rims that may work and 2- 16″ MB Rims and tires that are REALLY nice.
– Other random extras like bumpers and whatnot
Also with the Jeep came a box of other things like a carb; not working im sure, and other random smalls.
Also included is the WORKING plow and parts for it. Goes up & Goes down. What more could you want!?
Also included is a RARE FACTORY Jeep Hardtop (or so I’m told, It’s not marked anywhere.) It is in relatively good condition needing some TLC to be great.
Also included are the hard steel doors. Bottoms are rotten, but a good tinner could fix’m right up.
Some things work, some dont. It’s a great start. I priced out all BRAND NEW PARTS for a CJ5 save the frame and drivetrain and it came to roughly 6500.00. Thats a brand new steel tub, rebuild kits, everything. At least that I could think of.”
