1973 4 Door CJ-5 Custom Jeep Sunnyvale, TX **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This was made from 2 CJ-5s. The seller provides a variety links and pictures for this neat project.
“This auction is for a custom four door CJ. The Jeep was built using all CJ5 parts. The front door is modeled off of a CJ7. The rear door is modeled off of a CJ5. The bed is extended to the length of a CJ6 or CJ8 Scrambler. The frame is stretched 36 inches in the middle and 14 inches behind the rear axle. The frame was boxed from the front to to the rear spring perches. It has Dana 30 and Dana 40 axles both are open diffs. The transfer case is a Dana 20. The transmission is a 3 speed. I believe it is a T150. The engine is an AMC 360 from a 1972 Wagoneer. It was rebuilt about 15,000 miles ago. It was bored over. The crank was turned. It got all new bearings, new pistons, new valve guides, and hardened seats. It has an RV cam, an Edelbrock SP2P low rise dual plane intake, and a Holley Street Avenger 570cfm carb. The motor has more than enough power for a vehicle this size. I drove it about a month on the new motor when I broke the input shaft on the old transmission. I then put the heaviest spring in the secondaries of the carb and backed up the timing a little bit to take some of the grunt out of the motor. The Jeep was built in 2009. It got all new floors. There is no rust in the body or frame. The color is Rescue Green from a 2008-2009 Wrangler. The seats are new from Bestop. The seat belts were new in 2009. It has a super thick aluminum radiator, power steering, and front disk brakes. It has a 20 gallon gas tank from an 86 CJ7. The tires are 33 10.50 15 BFG Mud T/A KM2. The fronts have about 5k miles on them and the rears are new. I have no idea how many miles are on the Jeep. It has about 15k since built. Almost everything was replaced at that time. The tub and bed have bedliner throughout. It looks funny in the pictures, because it is a little wet from washing the Jeep. The leaf springs were upgraded to the wider springs from a 76 model CJ7. It has front sway bar mounts on the frame, and I have a sway bar for it. It will need new rod ends and bushings if you plan to install it. I will also include the stock front bumper if you want it. You can see pictures of it on the link below.
This Jeep was my daily driver for almost 3 years. It draws a crowd everywhere you go. You can’t buy gas or go into Home Depot without someone stopping you to talk about it. Since it was my daily driver, it has all of the scratches and dings you would expect of a truck used for that period of time. It runs and drives good. The four wheel drive works fine. Since I had to rely on this as my driver, It hasn’t been thrashed off road since built. The four wheel drive has been used in the snow, pulling trailers out of the muddy pasture, and around the deer lease.
Negative issues: This is no trailer queen, so it has normal dings and rock chips and scratches that you would expect from a driver. There is one good dent in the left rear fender well. I included a picture of it. The speedometer doesn’t work. The gas gauge half ass works half the time. The gauge is new, it needs a sender. While you are replacing the sender, you could replace the oring on it that leaks gas if you overfill it. The oil gauge works, but is falling apart. It needs a new horn switch. You have to hit just the right spot to make it honk. If you romp on it in reverse, it will pop out of gear. Driving sensibly prevents it from happening. The transfer case shifter needs new bushings, but it shifts fine for me, so I don’t worry about it. It has a top and doors that need recovering. I don’t have any pictures of it, but you can see it in the snow video below.

“This Willys has an older restoration. It was done about 9 years ago. Always has been garaged. The engine and drive train operate like they should tight and smooth. The engine runs like a sewing machine very quite. The trans. operates in all gears like it should. Four wheel drive work perfect. Interior, gauges, lights, heater, wipers, etc. operate perfect. It has the rear seat, and the original hard top. The hard top was never painted. I have the soft doors and i use them for the hard top. This Willys needs nothing to enjoy.
