It’s rough, but it does include a Navy tag. The tag looks like it could be original to the jeep.
“This Auction is For a 1951 Willys CJ-5 Jeep. It is complete with a 4 cyl. and a manual transmission. It is a 4X4 and also has a PTO or extra gear box and shifter. This Jeep is a great project and ran when parked, it has been sitting for a a couple years now so may take a little work to get it going again. There are not many of these old jeeps left now days. This one has some rust but nothing that cant be fixed. It still has the Info Plate on the dash showing it was registered to the US Navy in California. The Jeep has a hood scoop or breather on the top of the hood and I believe it is for a snorkel, which was used for driving off road in wet areas or crossing rivers, ect… The jeep looks rough in the pictures but will clean up nice. I will take some better pics of it and add them to the auction in the next day or two. The Jeep has a clear title and to my knowledge has never been wrecked at all. High bidder is to pay the shipping costs, but I will assist with setting up shipping or may even be able to transport the vehicle (we have several tow trucks and trailers) for costs, depending on the timing. I reserve the right to end this auction early if and acceptable offer is given as it is for sale locally also. It wont last long so if you want it now is the time. If you have any questions or picture requests you can email them to me and I will respond.”

Is that green stuff all over growing on this poor CJ?
That is a type of heavy moss that you’ll find in areas of South Western Washington. It grows all over.
Natural camo then!
almost looks like this navy jeep was in the water and green stuff started growing on it
It also has an alternator instead of a generator. And did you notice how the coil is mounted to the firewall? I don’t recall seeing it done like that before, is that how the Navy did it?
Look like the Navy was experimenting in submarine jeeps. The writer claims it will be a great project. I really think that is an understatement just like the IRS is your friend and they want to help you out.
