I included this CJ-5 because the seller has done something interesting to the front grille.  I haven’t decided whether I’m a fan of it or not, but it’s an interesting idea.  The jeep itself looks great.

“1960 Willys Jeep CJ5 – 289 V8 3spd with warn overdrive. twin stick.

UPDATE:  Was priced at $1000

And one more great find from Brian.  This is a brand new, never mounted CJ-5 fiberglass body along with enough parts to get a project started.  Of course, new, the body and front clip would cost a lot more, approx $3600 from one source before taxes and shipping.

“Cj5 fiberglass tub, cj5 fiberglass front end, 2 new black front seats, black rear seat it great condition, amc 304 engine hasn’t ran in a couple years, amc 20 and amc 30 axels, cj5 frame, window frame with new glass, 2 gas tanks, front and rear drive shafts, brake pedal, gas pedal, emergency brake, steering wheel and steering box, steering shaft for axel, dash with wiring needs new gauges and a couple other small odd parts. alb1185@yahoo.com.  Take it all for $1000 obo, will trade.

This looks like a good price on a nice, upgraded CJ-5.

A reader asked me to look at a CJ-5 he was interested in purchasing. So, I spent a little time reviewing the sale of CJ-5s and was surprised to see how many are for sale and how many great deals are out there.  At the beginning of 2007 I spent January and February looking for good prices on CJ-5s, so I got a pretty good idea of the market then;  It’s just amazing the change 2 years later.  Here’s a good example.

“Red CJ5 4X4 Jeep. Good condition. Full roll cage. Tilt steering wheel. Chevy sm. block. 4-sp. stick. 2″ lift with 31″ tires. After market wheels. Body is in Great shape. Call for more info.

This seems a great price for a good looking CJ-5.

“61 willys jeep 2” lift rebuilt 225 v6 @ transmission, 8000 lb. pto winch $1500.00 “

This looks like a nice cage.  The body looks in pretty good shape as well.  Includes a  front clip as well.

“1970’s jeep tub and front clip with newer frame. full cage and windsheild. Sorry no title. Was race jeep at one time. Great project has not been cut up. Please phone calls only!!!!!!!!!!! No email axcess. (509) 990-2730 front clip is sanded and ready to paint.”

It appears the front end is slightly f&*$ed up.  I’m pretty sure those front wheels should be going the same direction.  If you have a front end, this one might be worth snatching up as the seller sounds like they might be will to deal to get rid of it.  Maybe it’s just a broken tierod?  It appears that might even be a terra tire on the front left.

“I’m selling a 55 Willys. I bought it for 1200 I don’t have the time or the money to fix it. I need to sell fast. any question please call me 360-318-5755 1200 obo”

Brian sent in this find.  He notes that CJ-5s like this in the midwest are hard to find without being plagued with rust.  As Brian note, it’s also likely to have the offset 30 spline axles.
