Sri spotted this great example of a Safari-Kai (a specially converted DJ-5).

https://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/cto/7552120833.html

“Immaculate 1973 DJ5 Safari Kar conversion. Fully refurbished in 1991 and remained in storage for over 20 years. Always garaged, inline 6, under 3,000 miles on the odometer.

Can not drive around the block without being stoped by onlookers. Devastated to be selling, but moving back to the east coast and she’s a california girl.”

1971 DJ-5 Minneapolis, MN **Status Unknown**

Gayland shared this slightly modified DJ-5.

1971-dj5-minn-mn

“You are looking at a 1971 Jeep DJ5. Just about the cutest thing you’ve ever seen!
We’ve had our fun with it and now it’s someone else’s turn.
This Jeep is a low production number: #311, and it is equipped with an even more rare automatic. It’s just been tuned with a new carburetor kit and fresh fuel. It runs down the road wonderfully!

It has 4 brand new wide white tires, fresh seat covers and it’s ready for towing a small boat, going to the beach, the Dairy Queen or anything you find fun in a little open Jeep like this!

This is the famous Jeep platform, 2-wheel drive, automatic, fixed hardtop roof and windshield Jeep with no side doors.

The engine is a 232 or 258 (not sure which) and runs fantastic. The transmission is tight and strong. This Jeep has very nice body work and paint (not showroom). It has some custom blue ghost flames on the hood and rear.

What you see in the photo is what you get. The Jeep has a relatively low reserve and unlimited potential for fun!”

1975 DJ-5 Des Moines, WA **SOLD**

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.

It’s setup for ice cream.

“The most awesome icecream truck available. Runs Great! Bright orange paint inside and out. Completely updated and re-wired lighting all LED. Flashing amber rooftop light. Exterior horn to blast your classic ice-cream tunes or get new age and rock some modern icecream tunes to get the kids hyped with the amplified sub in the back. That right! This truck has beats!!! I have beefed up the starting battery with a group31 semi truck battery. There is a secondary battery bank of 3 deep cycle marine batteries that power the DC converter which in turn powers the freezer. Back windows are tinted to reduce heat so the electronics can run efficiently. I replaced all the window seals with new rubber. I even installed a battery isolator so you can run the secondary battery bank until it’s completely dead and always have a fully charged ignition battery to start up with. I also have 256 color range LED undercarriage lighting that I will install this week. There simply is not any other icecream truck that come close to being as awesome as this one.”

Seeing that engine was a surprise.

Jeep is a daily driver to me but rainy season has ended that, as well as i wanted something i can put my kids into. Interior has not been completely redone have no time. I do have a stainless steel dash for it as well. Jeep is at car shows all the time, and seen driven in davie/ft lauderdale all the time.

Would like to trade for a loaded tool chest, Snap-on/mac. Some car offers may be considered. Or cash offers. Do not try to low ball me, i know what i have been offered for this jeep and i know what i have into just the engine and in this jeep.”
