This is as old school as Jeeps come. I sold a Cj2a that I restored and basically everything but the motor and size of tub (Cj5 is the bigger body and frame) is the same.
I can get her up past 55 with the overdrive but it’s not recommended. Ha. Sold “as is”.
Price is firm. And sorry but no trades.”
Wow, great looking CJ Dave! I like that earthy type paint. Gives it that old school look.
I have to thank the last owner for the color. I repainted it the same. Actually my paint guy saved most of the color on it. Only had to spot paint. All the original clear coat came off. It was sprayed a little to dry originally.
