John shared this one. This looks in good shape, though I think replacing that front bumper would help improve the look. That said, this jeeps is registered as a 1968, so not sure if that will cause a titling issue in some states.

“1957 Jeep cj5 Willys pretty original runs great started up after winter on first try with a starter fluid. Took her for a 15 minute spin with no issues. Four-wheel-drive, high and low works brakes have been fixed and stops as good as any car with 4 drum breaks. Willing to take you for a test drive. This is by no means a show quality restoration. Was done by a gentleman in Maine in a garage on a budget. Tub has been patched up. From 10 feet away. The jeep looks amazing. Great driver used it all summer last year. If you don’t like attention, don’t waste your time. This Jeep draw more attention than a Ferrari. If you don’t like attention, this is in the car for you. Got this Jeep to go get ice cream run with the kids. Turns out that I spend more time getting beer. If you have questions PM. Jeep is roadworthy and registered as a 68.”

    I don’t know WHAT the problem with the DMV and jeeps is but it seems like it happens a lot . Cool jeep , just use it . I had a 1951 M38 registered as a 1956 , anybody who knows ANYTHING about jeeps know that they were made between 1950-52 only . I brought no less than 10 jeep books with me WITH the jeep that clearly stated on the data plate that it was a 1951 !! After all was said and done they registered it as a 1956 and I was fine with it . When I sold it just recently the guy who bought it asked me , I told him the story and he just laughed, said well if DMV says it’s a 1956 , it MUST be so ! LOL

    Frank, for the most part I’m not too obsessed with matching the registered year with the correct vehicle year (as I know that can vary at times), but I do like to point it out because some states are super strict.

    The DMV is never wrong, lol ….
