✨ Features that will make you the talk of the town:
-Dazzling bronze color, because why settle for silver or gold when you can be bronze-tastic!

The engine is supposed to run. Thanks to Roger Martin for sharing.

“Dj5 mail jeep. Has a title! Bought it to v8 swap it. But don’t have the time to do so. Motor ran off a boat tank recently and the jeep was driven around in a feild. It’s right hand drive. Automatic. Pretty neat little piece. There’s some bucket seats that come with it. Other than that what you see is what you get”

No bids yet with less than two days to go. Thanks to Bill for this one. There seems to be some parts value at the very least.

Hard to find a postal-looking jeep at this price anymore.

“1978 dj5g postal delivery jeep Project jeep for sale. Motor will fire up if jumped. Everything’s there and this guy could be driving around town or plowing your drive way with little work. Right hand drive New spark plugs, alternator, ignition Definitely needs a battery and a windshield She’s old and rusty but full of character definitely a head turner Must tow or trailer away Located in Greeley $1600 OBO that’s less than I’ve got in it”

UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $1200.

Not clear how many jeeps are for sale.

“Mail jeeps for sale 1,200 each”

Looks in great shape, though too bad the driver’s side (which is on the right) has had the body cut. Note that this is a right hand drive jeep with an automatic transmission (probably Borg Warner).

“DJ-5 Postal Jeep runs and drives but leaks ATF out the main seal. Plenty of new parts included, new brakes installed and refurbished radiator. Would make a worthy project, I just do not have the time. Will need trailered due to atf leak.”

Chris is selling this rare former airport baggage conveyer DJ-5 that at one time was operated by Piedmont Airlines.

“1972 Jeep DJ5B. Folks meet Piedmont. He’s a very rare DJ5B that was used by Piedmont Airlines as a luggage loader. This model is rear 2WD with a 232 six cylinder that is currently not running. Motor does turn over at the crank so it is not seized. This is a rare piece of history that I recently saved from the scrap yard. Notice the slant on the passenger side as this was manufactured at the plant in Toledo to house the loader mechanism. Very original rig that I feel needs to be restored back to his original glory. I’ve personally been a many  Willys, Kaiser, AMC and likes for many years and this model is new to me.

This is a matching numbers Jeep as well with a clean NC title. The mileage on the rig is unknown but the title shows 2054 and the speedometer is showing 20..Mechanically he will require some attention. You can see the obvious rust but the frame is in good condition with no serious spots. Tub will need to be repaired. No radiator in place. Transmission is in pieces. One of the main shafts is cracked and the entire transmission needs to be reassembled. 3 speed T85 unit. Temporarily the main transmission mount is secured by two bolts only for transport. Does include many transmission parts and pieces but I am unsure if everything is there. Tires are only rollers and what came with him but he does roll nicely. Front passenger brake components are missing but would need all new brakes regardless. Folks he’s not ready for the road yet but man would he not be a show stopper?”

John shared this DJ-5 for sale. Unclear if it runs, but looks pretty solid for the price. No description provided.

Mark shared this DJ. If nothing else, it seems to have a lot of USPS-related parts.

No title turns over and has compression and spark gust have not had time to work on it and get it going as is $800 or Best offer”

Mike shared this ad. Seller needs to sell these as part of an estate closing.

“postal jeeps I have 9 of them, from parts to complete jeeps with extra parts. Must be sold close estate some with titles some with bills of sale. Jeeps located near rock hill SC 29726 price 250 up.”

UPDATE: **SOLD**. Was $6000.

Hillery is selling her DJ-5 which she affectionately named “AI Green”. Unfortunately, Mr Green and Hillery didn’t want to follow her move to the desert, so he needs a new home. The license plate “FROM” seems appropriate for a mail delivery jeep. I also really liked the sticker, “Be Kind, We’re All Idiots”.

“This classic, head turning Postal Jeep is ready for his next home. For 4+ years this guy has been my small business stationery shop on wheels. He has been loved by many, nobody more than me. I’ve moved to the desert and he wants to stay somewhere cooler, so we’ve mutually agreed to split ways. He’s in excellent condition for a 50 year old machine.

Among the many things I’ve had replaced over the past four years:
– Rebuilt with a CJ-5 straight 6 engine
– Brakes
– Carburetor and Fuel Pump
– Starter
– Torque Converter
– Brakes

Cons
– Fuel guage has never worked (but I’m told is an easy fix)
– No power steering, be prepared to work when driving this guy!

Clean title with records showing work done.”
