The “New” CJ-5 at SEMA

UPDATE: It appears this endeavor didn’t work out.

Merlin reported on a NEW CJ-5 that will go into production (approx 5,000 jeeps per year) soon. One question that many folks have asked is how the new jeep can meet the current safety specs for new cars. According to Merlin, the short answer is it can’t, but it doesn’t have to meet them. In 2014 the feds passed regulations that allow low production auto manufacturers to only have to meet the specs for 1967.

“With Sema going on I am excited to finally announce the return of an old favorite, the Cj5. Universal Motors Corp (makers of the Allied Jeep L head blocks) has the new Mopar licensed Cj5 on display in booth 32326 at Sema. These sport the current Jeep engine, and there will be a diesel option as well. Bodies and parts will be manufactured by UMC, not bought from current parts and panel manufacturers other than Jeep. A kit version will be available as well. Assembly is done in Detroit. More info and pics will be posted as I receive more. http://universalmotorscorp.com/

Looks promising.

“This is an all original, unrestored Jeep with 30,923 showing on the odometer. Taken off the road and unregistered since 1974, stored in a barn and used around a farm/camp since then. The odometer stopped working after the first few years of farm use, have evidence of 28,782 miles on 8/24/1972. Engine runs great, starts right up, new tires, recent exhaust, excellent brakes, drives great, 4WD works as it should. Has the cabin heater option. Comes with the original canvas top with bows, two sets of doors, an extra set of bows for a bikini top, spare tire and original manuals. The top needs some re-sewing of the seams. Some rust in the usual places. Need some minor repairs to be roadworthy, mostly electrical.”

1960 CJ-5 Hampton, NH $2500

• CATEGORIES: CJ5 • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: Still Available.

(09/18/2017) Has a fiberglass body and runs.

“I purchased this a year ago with the hopes to fix it up but I realized that I dont have the time or space for it. That being said I did a little work to it. Replaced battery and battery cables. Replaced the carb and replaced the fuel filters. I also purchased a new gas can for it.

The body of the vehicle is in great shape. The body has been replaced with a fiber glass one. The inside is also in great shape no rips in the seats.

The frame is also in great shape. There is rust but NO ROT. A previous owner cut a notch in the frame for some reason but it doesn’t seem big enough to effect anything.

The jeep starts and runs but is very loud and blows a blue smoke. I have been told that it has a rod nock. I am asking $2500 OBO. Some research tells me to get the engine running reliably it will be about $2500. You could have a cool jeep for 5k. Only serious inquiries please. I can send more pictures if needed. “
