From Hemmings:

“The Klairmont Kollections Automotive Museum in Chicago announced that it is permanently closing its doors, also confirming that the entire collection of vintage and classic cars will go up for auction this September without reserve.”

There are a number of really cool cars being auctioned (e.g. “The Golden Sahara II“) but there are quite a few Jeeps that will be auctioned as well, including some quite rare models:

1966 Jeep CJ-5A Tuxedo Park Mark IV

1970 Jeep CJ-5 Renegade

1951 Willys Jeep Station Sedan

1955 Willys Jeep M38A

1985 Jeep Grand Wagoneer

1968 Jeep Wagoneer

1950 Willys-Overland Jeepster Convertible

1950 Willys-Overland Jeepster Convertible

1960 Willys Jeep DJ-3A Surrey Gala

1951 Jeep Willys CJ-3A

1947 Willys-Overland Jeep CJ-2A

1986 Jeep Wrangler Serial No. 1 SUV

1993 Jeep Wrangler Custom

1950 Willys Jeep Model 473 Pickup

1969 Kaiser Jeep J-3000 Gladiator Pickup

1985 Jeep CJ-10A Flightline Tug

1965 Jeep CJ-6A Tuxedo Park Mark IV

1955 Jeep CJ-5 Cutaway Chassis

All of these vehicles appear to be in top cosmetic condition, but (as with any museum vehicle) they will likely require some (possibly significant) work prior to being road worthy.

Or you could simply buy them all, and start your own Jeep Museum!

Here’s a link to the entire auction catalog if you’d like to browse the other cars and memorabilia being auctioned:

1967 Jeep CJ-5 $18,500 OBO NE PA

Original owner and just WOW this is a really nice CJ-5 has many years of care put into this one. New fiberglass tub and front clip installed over the years along with many common areas recently addressed. The half cab is really great.

V6, Overdrive, Half Cab, Spot Light, it has a lot a really neat features. The rear waterproof deck lid is nice.

Sent over via email if you have any questions please reach out.

Information from seller:

For Sale from Original Owner- 1967 CJ5 Kaiser Jeep- $18,500 or Best Offer

Original owner offers for sale his 1967 CJ 5 225 cu in V6 Kaiser JEEP. The jeep has been maintained regularly. The jeep has the original wheel rims and original steering ball joints which shows the long term care given to the jeep.

About 15 years ago, a body off rebuild occurred. A fiberglass body with one piece front end replaced the original deteriorating metal body. The frame was painted with epoxy paint, transmission and transfer case were cleaned, checked and resealed, new wiring harness installed, new brake lines, shoes, and drums installed and a stainless-steel exhaust system with side pipes installed. Many other repairs were made to keep the jeep in excellent condition.

More recently, a new clutch, pressure plate, and aluminum radiator were installed.

This jeep is a very unique vehicle with a vintage period correct Meyers half cab, vintage period correct spotlight mounted on cab roof, Saturn overdrive, rear waterproof lid over rear compartment and some other minor items. Also, the interior has a high back bench seat mounted on a frame mounted seat roll bar! The seat is very comfortable and better than the original seats. An additional heater has been installed which keeps the cab toasty in cold weather!

The V6 is strong running. As pre-maintenance, the fuel pump, spark plugs, and electronic ignition system were installed. Over the years, I did not spare any expense to keep my jeep in great shape.

I purchased this Jeep when I was 16 years old and feel reluctant to depart with it, but time has come in my life to enjoy the memories.

For those jeep connoisseurs, yes, the vehicle has those typical transmission/ transfer case gear lube drips. This low geared vehicle always starts and runs like a champ.

Owner is looking for a buyer that will provide the jeep with a good home!

If interested, please text at 570 449-4239 for more information or schedule an inspection. Must see to appreciate!

1953 Willys M170 $5,000 Cedar Grove, IN

This looks to me like a M170 with the drivers side with that long section and the passenger side.

M170 are 20” longer then the M38-A1.

Might be a good find here looks like in good shape.

12V Conversion, but from the other post from today you can still dig up the 24V Stuff if you want it.
