UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1966
Robin spotted this funny ad. The price looks good. A beard is recommended.
“Here it is… One of perhaps the most amazing 1966 Jeep CJ5’s ever built. Why you ask with a slightly skeptical tone??? Well I’ll tell you why my friend: because I’m the guy trying to sell it soooo, naturally, it is the most amazing CJ5 ever built and it could be all yours for a mere $1966. But I’m not biased at all…
I suppose your next question would be: Why are you asking $1966? If you have to ask that, well, I just hope you can make the connection all on your own… Now on to the magical details this little beast holds within!!
Year-1966
Engine-The good ol’ Willys 4 cylinder that would keep on chugging through a nuclear holocaust.
Trans-3 speed manual, plus reverse!!
Brakes-manual
Steering-manual
Transfer Case-you guessed it, manual
Body-amazingly straight, no rust!
Full roll cage
Seats-yep, got them too
Wiring-all pretty new
A few more tasty morsels to chew on: It has new brakes on three wheels, the fourth drum didn’t want to slid off as easy and my buddy doing the brakes apparently wasn’t in the fightin’ mood to persuade it, hence why there is an extra set of pads sitting in the back. Maybe you will have more motivation. And some WD40. And a hammer.
Yes, it runs. It needs a new carb though, they are about $130. I wake up every morning with the best intentions to order one, then I look out the window, see a squirrel, and the thought is lost until the next morning. It has happened more than you know and I honestly don’t see it stopping anytime soon. Long story short, you’ll want to buy a new carb! Now for some Q & A time!!
Q: Can I test drive it?
A: Nope, unless you fork over the cash. In that case you’re free to do whatever your little heart desires. I don’t have registration on it and don’t plan on putting any on it. I will fire it up so you can hear the rumble of all those ponies though.
Q: Do you have a top for it?
A: No. Tops are for wimps. It has a rollcage, that’s plenty.
Q: Would it make a good daily driver?
A: In my opinion… Heck no! If you want a daily driver buy a Civic. This is late 40’s technology that somehow made it into the 60’s. If you are looking at buying a manly vehicle such as this I feel this shouldn’t need to be explained this to you.
Q: Do I have to have a beard to own it?
A: No, but highly recommended.
Q: Why are you selling it?
A: I was drinking, bought it from my best friend, now it is taking up precious real estate in the garage. I want it gone. I have no desire to drive it as I’m a big feller, which does not mix well with Jeeps.
Well that ought to get you started, it needs a little tinkering but it is one heck of a solid Jeep! Now lets talk about the price… I’m motivated. Want it gone. Like yesterday. As previously mentioned I’m asking $1,966.00 but feel free to throw out a number. I won’t get offended, I’ll just tell you no if I don’t like it. Pretty simple really. If you get offended that easy, I feel sorry for you.
Trades you ask? Sure, I’ll entertain trades. No vehicles though, trying to reduce that count by one. Got something nifty? Worth a lil’ something? Just let me know.”
