“This is a 1962 Willys Jeep and trailer. The Jeep is in good condition and has a 4 cylinder engine. The Jeep has been mostly used in parades. The top and heater are included, but not installed. It runs well and the 4×4 works well. There are no side curtains. The Jeep was built for the USMC. I am asking $8000 or best offer. Please text or email with questions.”

Mike is hoping to find a CJ-5 Renegade on the west coast. He’s got a reasonable budget, so if anyone knows of something good available, feel free to contact him at Heimbig@aol.com
