UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.

Runs and drives, though the battery died over the holidays.

“This is truly a magical Jeep DJ-5, which was originally in service in Las Vegas, NV. After being decommissioned the Jeep was relocated by the previous owner to Tucson where it has sat unused for sometime. I have done as much digging as possible about this DJ-5, but what I’ve discovered is mostly from going over the Jeep.

Here is what I know:
– The original Audi designed engine has been replaced with a indestructible 1978 AMC crafted in-line 6 cylinder, which was specific to the DJ-5.
– The transmission has been replaced and has less than 50 miles on it.
– The underside of this DJ-5 is pristine. NO RUST. The body does have rust, but is all cosmetic and could easily be cleaned up.
– Interior is in good shape. The original mail tray has been removed and left side passenger seat added.
– The electrical/wiring needs attention for lighting. Both headlamps need grounding wires replaced and one front right-side turn signal needs to be replaced. Rear brake lights are working, but turn signals will need fresh wiring.

I drove this Jeep home and around my neighborhood several times. With both doors open this DJ-5 is a blast to drive. My plan was to fully restore this Jeep to original postal service quality, but after being gifted a ’94 Toyota T100 my plans have changed. So now it’s your turn to get this beautiful Jeep back on the road.

Full disclosure: the battery died just before the Holidays so I haven’t started it since then. Previously I was starting it weekly and letting it run for a solid 10 mins and if time permitted drove it around the neighborhood as I mentioned.”
