UPDATE: This sold for $6250 on eBay.
Dave’s selling his low mileage, stock CJ-5 Trencher. This will make a great vehicle for someone. I got a chance to look at this during our trip this past summer. It was a bit dustier then.
“I’ve been chasing Jeep vehicles for several decades and this is the nicest, lowest mileage, most original Jeep I’ve ever run across – especially considering that is will be FIFTY years old next year!
If you can find a 1964 CJ-5 with fewer miles, more original, and with more factory options on it – then buy it and not this one…
This Jeep was originally purchased by a local Steel company for the sole purpose of installing a sprinkler system in a golf course that they owned. I was told that oncethat task was completed it pretty much simply just stayed in the company garage of vehicles being
driven occaisionally and inspected each year! I’ve owned it for probably fifteen or twenty years now and am not able to enjoy it as I should be doing so its time to find it a new home. As the new owner, you’ll be only the third owner of this FIFTY year old Jeep and “Bubba” never had his hands on this one to mess it all up!”
Congratulations Dave. Two very scarce CJ5’s sold yesterday. My JEEP-A-TRENCH and your GO-FOR-DIGGER both have new owners to hopefully enhance some future WORKING WILLYS Shows. I also have a GO-FOR-DIGGER like yours but has been changed into a post hole digger. Bet they were built about the same time.
There is one of those in Michigan. It is on M 33, 13 miles north of Atlanta Mi. It is for sale, he has all the books on it, it was built for B&O Railroad in 1964. It is complete with the owners manual. I will get the phone number if you want it. Rick 734 776 7659
Hi Rick,
If you could get me that info, I’ll list it. I’m sure someone will be interested in it. A photo would be even better. You can email it to d@ewillys.com
Thanks!
