Here’s several DJ-5s that popped into my inbox in the passed few days. I don’t know if it is coincidence or not, but all three are different primary colors.
Rick has rebuilt two of the three below. Rick writes, The Red one has a Ford 302. Blue has a 351 Ford bored to 394 ci. Thought you might be interested in seeing them. You can post them if you think anyone would like to see them. No, they ain’t for sale.
The third jeep, the yellow one, is on bidding, though bidding has ended.
And the yellow one on eBay (bidding ended)
Here’s a before image of the yellow jeep
Rick asked me to post these pics of his 1955 CJ-5 that he has put up for sale. The VIN is 5754811227. Rick also sent me a couple of rebuilt postal jeeps that I’ll highlight tomorrow.
He wrote, “1955 Willys CJ5 completely restored 2 years ago. Everything is new or rebuilt. All original except seats, and carb & air cleaner. I have the originals and they are perfect condition. Asking $6000.00, or trade for a flat fender in good condition. Trade should be of equal value, or buyer willing to pay difference in value. This Jeep is ready to go.

This looks mostly stock. So, the engine smokes like all old jeeps do, but the jeep is in great running condition? Is there a tiny disconnect there?
“This is a 1952 Willy’s CJ3-B. This is a civilian jeep that was purchased from a farm in New Mexico. When we got the jeep it was all there. It had no rust and was running (poorly but running) and the breaks didn’t work at all. The jeep has been straightened and painted and it is all metal. There is no bondo on this jeep the body was straight except for a few dents that were removed by the body shop with out using filler with all the original sheet metal. It had the original paint on it when we got it. To prevent the paint on the inside from getting damaged we had them put a “spray on bed liner” type material down on the inside of the tub and inside the fender wells that is the same color as the paint. The head gasket on the original (to my knowledge) flat head motor was replaced. The head was machined smooth and the deck was prepped. Brakes were torn down and repaired and function as they did in 1952. The jeep is in great running condition and can be seen locally by appointment. It runs and drive fantastically. It smokes a little sometimes like all old jeeps do. We are located in Wingate just out side of Monroe North Carolina.”
It looks nice, but please, pretty please fix the side panels!
