UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price.
No description.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3850.
The rear wheel wheels have been trimmed some.
“Very good project. New brakes drums and a new hub on one wheel, rebuilt starter, newer gas tank, new clutch pedal, and LOTs of new and used parts that I have for it, that have yet to be needed or installed, including electronic distributor, and a brake master cylinder. Its very mechanically sound. I had the head milled, and put a new head gasket on it. All it needs is a battery charge, and new gas and she’ll run and drive like the day she rolled off the assembly line. I have a mechanics manual for it too. Price is negotiable, however low ballers need not apply. I don’t have to sell it, and its garaged so I’d just assume keep it than let it go for a low ball price. Also keep in mind, its a project jeep, so if you pick it apart and tell me everything you find hoping to get it cheap, I’ll just walk away. I’m not an asshole, but this isn’t my first time selling on craigslist. Call or text.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8800.
(11/26/2016) Has an incorrect grille. Drain holes are filled. Other minor changes.
“Older restoration, good body and interior. Cranks and runs great, just replaced engine. Over $10,000.00 invested including initial buy. The seats are not original but were used to accommodate a bigger driver, (I’m 6′ 2” and 300 pounds) but I have the original seats and some spare parts. The complete electrical system was replaced by Claxton Auto Electric four years ago and it is converted from 6 to 12 volt system. Jeep has 82nd Airborne paint scheme and Michelin road tires versus the old military “knobbie” tires for a better ride on the highway. I have only put 1,000 miles on it, using it for local parades, etc. Four wheel drive works perfectly but has only been used on highway the seven plus years I have owned it. Only serious buyers need to respond, I’m very close on my price; cash only…..no trades.”
Rolling chassis. Seller lists the year as a 1954 (obviously wrong), but it doesn’t appear to have reversed front springs to me, so I’d say more like ’57 or later.
“1954 jeep Willy’s very solid needs restored. No motor no trans . 1,200 firm do not need help selling. Vehicle is located in Cuba MO. Please text or email for questions”
Look like there’s value here.
“Got Willy’s Jeep for parts. 200 gets what I have. I don’t have the front window, Hood or front. Motor has a hole in the block. Training and axles still look good.”
Maybe some value here?
“1955 CJ5 for sell. Don’t have room for it anymore. Will need some work. Last ran was 2009. Will need new carb, and Engine work. Not dead set on the selling price.”
That might be the shortest cage I’ve ever seen.
“Willys body on 1/2 ton dodge 4×4 frame . $1500 or trade”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2895.
(01/05/2016) Still some work to be done.

Scramboleer Dan took the time to assemble these vintage newspapers ads for the Traveller (sorry it took me so long to get these posted!).
