1984 Postal Truck Lutz, FL **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: DJ-5 & DJ-6, FJ This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: Was on eBay. **SOLD** for $1500.

Not a DJ or an FJ, but some one may be interested in this for mail deliveries.

“Runs like a little demon. Can’t kill these AM General’s 🙂 This one has original everything, decent body, runs great, some rust here and there and has been used at a US Postal Service Center I own. Making room for a new advertising vehicle. This can be converted to a food truck (Ice Cream Van would be cute) or simply a work horse once you tune her up and clean her up a bit. I put the postal logos back and the truck is sold as is with everything on her including the interior guts that the post office equipped her with. To the comedians who think you can buy a car/truck just for the title, you would be wrong. It’s against the law (and it’s fraud) to attempt to title wash a vehicle. You have been blocked from bidding.”

1977 DJ-5 Ingleside, TX **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: DJ-5 & DJ-6 This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3900.

“For Sale is my awesome 1977 Jeep DJ-5. I hate to sell it, but I dont drive it enough to justify keeping it anymore. These jeeps are getting really hard to find. They have a cool hard top, sliding doors, and swing out rear door. This one is even more rare because it has the best engine combo that was available for these jeeps: Legendary AMC 232 In-Line 6 cylinder engine and the 727 torqueflight automatic transmission. Engine runs great and transmission shifts smooth. Even the “fun” features work (wipers, horn, lights, etc.) This thing is awesome all around. 3″ Lift. New knobby tires. No rust. Ready to cruise around town.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.

Runs and drives.

“I have a 1983 DJ5 Mail Jeep that I got in trade for sale. It has the 2.5 GM 4cyl automatic 2wd. It is Right Hand Drive. It runs and drives, has decent tires. I have the mail tray but it is not bolted in. This vehicle was being used to deliver mail until about a year ago. Could be used on mail route, farm, made into a cool 4wd or a rat/hot rod. I have read that the 4×4 running gear from a CJ5 is a bolt in and that the frame on the DJ is actually stronger than the CJ frame. I am asking $1500 cash obo. I will negotiate lower price in person and your best deal will be showing me cash. I will consider trades. Call or text only between 7am and 10pm only please. I attached a couple of pictures of what people have done with these.”

1984 DJ-5 Cortez, CO **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: DJ-5 & DJ-6 This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1250.

Runs and drives, but has a few issues.

“This DJ-5 runs and has fairly good tires. The body is in fair shape for its age, with normal wear and tear, like some dents, minor rust, mail box scratches, etc. Comes with mail tray. Fairly new battery.

It needs some work (uses about a quart oil/day; cooling system has small water leak – maybe hose, not sure; brakes pull to one side – maybe just needs bleeding, or new master cylinder, not sure; windshield is cracked; left-side rear window popped out – can easily be fixed; transmission sometimes jumps out of gear – don’t think it’s serious, probably a simple linkage fix, but not sure). [The pics are from a few months ago – more recent photos available on request]”
