UPDATE: Was $2000. **SOLD**
Kudos to the seller for the detailed description.
“This Jeep is titled as a 1953, but is also noted on the title that it is “assembled by owner”. It was assembled in approximately 1964. This was a perfectly serviceable vehicle about 20 years or so ago, but was abandoned. It was garaged until about 2003, but has been sitting outside since then. A new fuel pump and a new water pump were installed a few years ago, but since the fuel pump didn’t work immediately, it was abandoned. The installer of the pump now admits that he probably got the lever on the wrong side of the cam, so I reinstalled the pump and it’s now correct. I haven’t started the engine, because the tank is bone dry, but it cranks and fires if you pour gas into the carburetor. The vehicle has a Buick V6 engine, which has less than 1000 miles on a short block. Since it’s been sitting, I have no idea of how the inside of the engine looks. The axles are not CJ2A, since it has 11-inch drum brakes, which don’t appear to be the Mercury conversion, so are probably from a later CJ, perhaps a 1969 CJ5. There are dual shock absorbers in the front, with coil-overs on one set. The windshield is a CJ3A. The steering is the Hudson conversion that was so popular, and includes a ball bearing bell-crank. The Jeep has a Bestop soft top that is in pretty good shape. It was not installed on the vehicle when it was sitting outside. The top still hasn’t been installed. It’s pretty much just sitting there, but it seems to fit fine, and includes the doors. The transmission and transfer case were new or nearly new in 1964. The transmission doesn’t shift into second and third, so I took the top off, and found some rust from moisture condensation. It would probably free up by being driven a short distance, and then the fluid could be changed. The transfer case shifts OK, but I haven’t looked inside. There are wide rims, but they are steel, which is pretty tame by today’s standards. The vehicle has two 10-gallon gas tanks, one under each seat, with plumbing to switch back and forth, and there is an electric fuel pump in series with the pump on the engine. There is a back seat that matches the front seats, and there is a full roll cage! There is a box of spare parts, and a couple of mufflers that could be installed in place of the headers to straight pipes that it currently has. This Jeep would be fine for someone who has the time to work with it. There is probably not a lot that needs to be done to get it on the road in minimum form, but it needs a lot of work to make it a daily driver. This Jeep is sold as-is, and I can’t provide an emission test, since it doesn’t run. It does have a title, but hasn’t been registered for a long time.”
