UPDATE: Was $3200. **SOLD**
“I am selling my 1963 Willy’s CJ-5 Jeep. It is a survivor. My grandfather bought it new and it was used around the farm in Michigan until he died. I inherited it and tried to paint it, but it didn’t turn out too well. I did rewire it as the mice ate the old wire insulation. It has 23,598 original miles with the stock F134 4-cylinder engine. I have added some warn hubs, rebuild the brakes and replace the bearings that were bad. I have replacement decals for the ones that are coming off. It has a clear title in Arizona and I still have it registered. It runs pretty good, though I would recommend a complete going through to get it running tip top. It has some rust on the underbody due to the “rust-belt” of the midwest USA. The rest of the body is in pretty good shape for being over 51 years old. It comes with a full kelly metal top and homemade snow plow with two original willy’s hydraulic pumps, and some extra NOS parts that I got off a AMC garage going out of business in the 1980’s. Tires okay, but not excellent.
This one is literally around the corner from me (3 blocks away). It is an honest “survivor” with nothing done to ruin its originality (as far as I could tell). Rust was minor/surface only: no rot. Perfect candidate for a restoration… or just drive it as is 🙂
Thanks Joe, for the help. I just sold it this morning!
Congrats, Steve!
