UPDATE: Was $5500. **SOLD**
“31k original miles
Original F head 4 cylinder engine, with maybe 5 hours of use since rebuilt professionally. (Rebuit this year.) My mechanic went through the whole thing from front to back, top to bottom.
New hoses, fuel lines, gauges, battery, cables, professionally rebuilt carburetor and clutch kit.
I purchased this jeep from Southern Missouri intending to use it on my farm, but it takes up too much room in my garage and I just don’t use it like I thought I would. When I bought it, it hadn’t run in years, but the body and frame were unbelievably clean. It had been used on a large hunting ranch by a hunting club until it stopped running. They said it hasn’t been on a road for at least 30 years. Thus the clean condition underneath.
It was painted the camouflage many years ago, but the original Indian Ceramic (orange) is still pretty shiny where they didn’t paint or where the green has peeled off. Because it was used in the woods a lot, there are plenty of dings in the fenders, etc. It does have a decent homemade roll bar. (I read that there were no stock roll bars made for these.)
Another rarity is the steel hard top. I was told that it is worth $1200 alone, in any condition. It includes steel doors in decent condition and a lift gate. (Lift gate window is missing and latch doesn’t function properly, but looks easily fixable.) The top and doors are included with the sale.
It has the stock triple stick manual transmission: one is the 3 speed + reverse, next is 2 or 4WD, last is high – low range. And the low range is VERY low on this thing. I have been told that because of the low gearing, CJ-6’s are highly sought after as rock crawlers.
Well, I’m way over budget. So my loss can be your gain. I’ve spent almost $8000 on this since last year, primarily on mechanical refurbishing.”
