This sounds like a good price on a CJ with new tires and brakes. There’s a couple things that puzzle me.  The reversed springs in the front and the M-38a1 dash would suggest, well, a M-38a1; However, the serial number suggests a CJ-5.

“64 CJ Willys jeep. Runs and drives great, New brakes and tires this winter. Not much has been done with this jeep as I have no time. Job transfer is forcing the sale, We dive this jeep about three times a month and almost everytime it snows in the winter..”

“I am forced into selling my 1956 Willy’s Jeep. It is in pretty good condition for it’s age. It has a nice vinyl top and a new backseat. It has one very small patch of rust on the rear tailgate.  Due to an accident that I had and being out of town for work, we haven’t been able to use it for awhile but last time we used it, it ran very well. Right now it won’t start and we believe it is a bad starter. We just haven’t had time to find out.  We use it on the farm and in the mountains. A really fun 4 wheeler and hunting rig. We have dropped the asking price by a considerable amount because of the starter.  It has a winch on the front and also a tow bar. It has fancier wheels than are shown in these pictures and larger tires. The tires are in fairly good condition.

Whoever had it before we did, cut the front fenders to put huge tires on it. We removed the tires and put a more reasonable size on it but we never got the fenders replaced. We put fender flares on it, which look okay. It does have bigger tires than are shown in the pictures and nicer wheels.  If you are interested, I will take current pictures with the other wheels and tires. It’s just been such crummy weather that I didn’t think I could get a good picture. These pictures are only a year or so old.”

This looks like a nice jeep to be parting it out.  The top is a bestop and appears in good condition.

“Lots of good parts and lots of good prices. Bestop, fenders, hood, body, frame, Old Man EMU ARB leaf springs, trailmaster shocks, T18 Transmission, Dana 44 Dana 30 with power locker, 6 point roll bar, racing bucket seats, 1988 Wrangler steering column with key, 1976 cj5 swinging peddles. Bridgestone Dueler 33×15 tires and 10×15 rims etc, etc…”

It’s not pretty, but runs, drives, and plows.

I don’t know if this runs or not.  Though the fronts fenders are bent up pretty good, it doesn’t look all that bad.  The tires appears to have plenty of tread.  If you can get the engine to run, this might be a good price.

(03/22/09) This CJ-5 comes with an overdrive and an unusual aluminum top (at least, I’ve not seen one quite like this for the CJ-5.

“170 cid FORD, WARN OVERDRIVE, PTO WINCH, POWERLOCK LOCKERS FRONT AND REAR, ALUM TOP, AUX FUEL TANK, AM/FM CD, $2300”

This includes an Overdrive.  There’s a small problem with the tranny.  Looks like a good deal.

(12/26/09) “1959 willys cj body style xtra parts has ford v8 installed. was used for hunnting and snow car. soft top ruff was listed for 2500.00 but wife says sell so price reduced to first 2000.00 takes!”

This is a running CJ-5 with an old school top (very hard to find), nice rims, new fenders, v8 and sm465.  This might have some good value.

“This is my 1963 Jeep CJ-5. It has a Chevy 350 v8 engine with a Chevy sm465 four speed with granny low manual transmission, Dana 18 transfer case connected by an Advance Adapter conversion adapter. It have custom made driveshafts, a 4 inch trailmaster lift and shocks with Conferr 1.25 inch lift shackles. It has stock rears with 5.38s in them and a dana 44 out back. The transfercase was lowered using a Rancho lowering kit. The steering has been updated but needs to be finished to use a saginaw box and a gm column. The engline and trans were rebuilt with low miles years ago but its been sitting for ten years and needs some going over. The clutch is brand new and doesnt have a mile on it. All the brake and fuel lines have been re run and are new. It has headman headers with glasspacks. Exhaust needs to be finished. it will need the clutch to be hooked up to the pedal and a radiator. There is no grill in the pick but I have one with no rot. The floors have been replaced and there is no rot on the body. The body was off of a 75 I believe. The fenders were new replacements . It has a poly replacement gas tank. It will need a master cylinder and booster. It has custom skid plates under the ubolts. Mustang Seats. A very rare bestop fastback top in very good condition. I have a dash with all the gauges in it that goes with it. The tailgate was replaced but has some minimal surface rust. Diamond plate rockers are included. She is sitting on 35 inch bfg mud terrains on American racing Outlaw Rims. Tires are dry and will need replaceing. This Jeep is near completion and will make somebody a great project. I just dont have the time to finish it right now. Feel free to ask any questions. Matt Wrangler not included lol”
