UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was $1600.

(03/22/2010) It runs and drives (the seller is getting it a tune-up).  It sounds like the body might be rough.  No pics, but it this might be a deal.

“Tan Jeep in ok condition. will be doing a tune up on it over the next few days and that should cure the problem it had with starting. once it starts up the vehical runs strong and works well. it comes with a new, in the box wiring harness made specifically for this vehical from Kaiser Willys that I never got around to installing. let me know if you’re intersted and we’ll get a time set up to look at it. also email me if you want pictures. it was buried in the garage when my roommate cleaned up last weekend so it will take time to dig out. ”

This might be a good value if the body is in good shape. It’s sure not a 46 tub.

“i have a 46 willys tub it is a older resto.. no motor ar trans its on a 58 frame. has the low back seats with original window frame, gas tank, fender grill hood and tail gate.has unicersal 12 circuit painless wireing harness, really good shape for age. have open title.. just lost interst and the room for it. asking 2000 o.b.o might consider trade would like a decent 4 wheeler 350cc or bigger or anything of interest no fords though. can email pictures and any questions or call 3063063 after 3 p.m”

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was $2200

(02/06/2010) This doesn’t seem like a bad price if the body is in reasonable shape.

This is a ‘real nice’ ‘CJ-5’ that has no wheels.  It needs seats.  The exhaust manifold is cracked.  It’s got the ‘factory’ 4 inch lift.  Do you suppose this was parked on the hill before or after they took the wheels off?

“Hey. I’ve got this AMC Jeep CJ5 that i’m trying to get rid of cause my wife says ive got to many vehicals and she needs the money for her asthma medication. Its real nice has the odometer shows 83000 but i think it has rolled over about once. As you can see there arent any tires but wheels shouildnt be too hard and expensive to find. for an extra 400 bucks and can throw in set. Im not sure of the year cause i dont have the title but i know its got the AMC 258 inline six so that might narrow it down. My brother had it running last summer but we never drove it on the highway cause i put the rims and tires on my pickup. its got its small issues but since these are getting hard to find its a very good deal. needs seats. the exhaust manifold is cracked and i think it needs the carb cleaned. its got the factory 4 inch lift and the brakes work. Let me know if you want to come have a look at it.
thanks ray.”

(07/13/09) There’s been a variety of updates done to this including reversed SOA (spring over axle) springs in the front.  It looks like it might be SOA in the back, too.
