This jeep lived its unused-life in a heated garage. This jeep only has 1500 miles and that’s believable given the condition shown in the pics. Thanks to John for sharing this one.

“Purchased new by Rhode Island-based Scarpetti Oldsmobile for exclusive use as a snowplow, a letter from dealership owner Edward Scarpetti indicates that the odometer’s current claim of around 1,500 miles since new is to be absolutely believed.

A lifetime of storage inside a heated garage—except during snowfall—is evident in the exceptional original condition of the well-preserved paint and overall patination. Both the dealership’s hand-lettering and white-wall off-road tires are believed to be original as well, alongside the rarely preserved metal hardtop from Koenig Iron Works of Houston, Texas. The white model 520 “Jiffy Full Cab” top features removable doors and a built-in, high-powered backup light for plow duty, and presents a delightful contrast to the Jeep’s bright President Red paint.

Other than the removable hardtop and a period-correct, dash-mounted Oldsmobile badge from the late 1950s, this CJ -5 is unmodified and features its original 2.2-liter (134 ci) powertrain. CJs were roundly the most capable factory off-roaders of the 20th century, and this CJ-5 is no different with its two-speed 4×4 transfer case and locking front hubs, all backed by the original three-speed manual transmission—more than enough hardware to tackle any early CJ rally or enter sympathetic service as a ranch shuttle.”

    This is a nice vehicle I bid on it at Mecum Indy where it brought if my memory serves me around 28K which I thought was a lot of money for it.

    Hyman does tend to set aggressive prices, but I’m sure they are open to offers.
    They are a very high end dealer with s good reputation.

    Great Jeep, probably belongs on s museum or perhaps an Oldsmobile collection.

    I think this is out of date?

    There can’t be 2 in this condition from oldsmobile dealers in New England.
    Hyman had a consignment deal on it.
    It sold locally for around $ 16K ? Facebook I think? Bring a trailer maybe>

    It looks like the jeep is listed in “Current Inventory”? I just did a search on BaT’s archives, but didn’t run across this one.
