UPDATE: **Status Unknown**
Chris is selling his CJ-5. Looks in good shape. It has the 0-8 speedometer, but the pointer is shaped like a wedge rather than thin and even.
“My 1956 Willys CJ5 has a great history. It was a one owner, garaged Jeep for 57 years; meticulously maintained by professionals, and was basically a “City Jeep”. The Jeep has 102k miles. It is an older restoration in time but not miles: including all running gear, body, paint, suspension, seats, and is in great condition. It runs, starts, drives, stops, looks and handles great. The Jeep has new tires and rims ($750) with only 100 miles on them .
I have receipts for the extensive work done, going back to 1963. It has the rare Kayline softtop with doors and frame, in good condition. The dash is also uncut. The miles will increase slightly, as I drive the Jeep. Records, paperwork and spare parts come with the Jeep.
The original engine, 3 speed transmission and transfer case, brakes, carb, suspension, and most components were restored and rebuilt. It is 12 volt and has a steering stabilizer, which makes it stable and safe to drive. Other safety features include: turn signals, seat belts, roll bar and electric wipers, a trailer hitch and wiring for a trailer. It has Jeep rubber mats and is a VERY solid Jeep. Of course, the 4wd works as it should (see video). Starts with the bump of the starter and is a pleasure to drive, no rattles or squeaks; like going back in time.
Just serviced including; oil/filter, fluids flushed and replaced in transfer case, transmission, rear differential, front differential, all lubing and greasing.”
Still for sale?
Hi John,
This was listed on eBay. The eBay ad came and went without a sale, so the jeep might still be available. It is possible to contact the owner through the eBay ad: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1956-Jeep-CJ-/262823715697?_trksid=p2141725.m3662.l6403
