Comes with a couple seats, good dash, roll bar, rear view mirror. Can deliver for the right price. $500 or best offer, not really looking to part out.”

Here’s another example of the Desert Explorer tires, which are very similar to the Desert Dog PCV tires.

(03/03/2018) There’s just something about this CJ-5 I like. Must be the rims!

“1971 Kaiser Willys Jeep CJ5 ….. When I bought this Jeep it was a farm Jeep … used for running around the farm and such . Parked it in my garage and started the tear it down . But moved twice , and life just sort of got in the way .
I have many of the original parts and boxes of new stuff that will go with it !
It has a Chevy 4.3 l V6 ( Stainless headers thermo wrapped , Pertronix distributor , new carb . ) …. should give it much more get up and go ! Has the original 3 speed manual trans …Dana 27 front axel , Dana 40 rear .
The only parts I am missing are the front fenders ( They were just too rusted to save ! )
Has 4″ lift springs & shocks ,
New Bimini top , canvas doors , and lots of other parts in boxes ready for install .
Lots of work still needs to be done , so I do not want any buyer to think it just needs a little work to complete !
The photos are from before I started to tear it down !
I have parts kept in two garages and will start to get all in one place for a quick sale !”

Seller lists this as a 1953, but the serial number pegs it as as Feb 1960 CJ-5. This deal includes a new fiberglass tub and fenders and more.

“Original Drive Train

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was $2500.

Might be a good price.

“For Sale: 1955 Willys CJ5 Jeep. Has a Buick V-6 engine. Runs fine. Tub needs some TLC. We do not have the title, just a bill of sale, but it was previously registered and we have the old registration cards. We looked into registering it a few years ago, and all DMV needed to complete the process was for us to take it in for them to check the VIN numbers. Selling because we already have a ’58 and a ’73. PM or comment with any questions. Asking $2,500.”

Appears worth a look given the price.

This is being sold as a 1969 CJ-5 with only 8730 miles on it. Yet, the tail lights and the front parking lights are not original. The speedometer does not look original either (wasn’t the 69 CJ-5 still using the 0-9 speedo?). Anyone else have thoughts about it?

“Selling for a friend 1969 Willys Jeep CJ5 4×4 This is a Barn find it only has 8730 Miles on it. Has new tires , new paint , new seats , new brakes , new gas tank , Runs and Drives good”

Seller was rewiring. The dash has been removed. This may be worth a look.

Some assembly will be required.
