This appears to be an excellent price on a running CJ-5 with an OD, a full rollcage and a winch (though the winch is having an electrical issue).

“1960 (Orig Year) CJ5 Willys Jeep that has been customized for Off-Road Use. Added are Rebuilt Ford 289 Small Blk (V8) engine (approx 5,000 miles on rebuilt) with a T-90 3spd Full-Overdrive Transmission (3 stick adjustment, like the old Tractor Trailers — has overdrive to every gear, including reverse, so 6 forward gears). This vehicle is low geared enough to climb a hillside that the BFGoodrich All-Terrain tires (only 10k miles used), and you can walk it up from the outside. Painted 3 years ago and although not perfect, good enuf for off-road, with twin 7-gal fuel tanks. Added Bucket seats with heavy-duty Seat covers (seats are a little torn), Buick Tilt & Power Steering, New WIndshield and Wipers. Offroad lights and 10k lb Warn Winch. It would be a great project vehicle, as there is always little things to tinker with, but the only two issues to mention: 1> the big bucket seats and old military jeep frame don’t allow real big men too much comfort, so a larger person might want to switch out the seats; and 2> the warn winch is having electrical problems and I had the armiture looked at, but they told me it is part of the electrical relay or component in the winch, so I have not fixed that.  I am motivated to sell, and I know the value of this in excellent collectors shape would bring $5k, but I am willing to go half ($2500) or a near best offer.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.

There appears to be plenty of parts, but I can’t tell if they are all there.  Note this does have stock reversed front springs.

“Picked this Willys up in Vegas last year. It has clear Nv title as a 1959, after some research it turns out to be a 1955, easy fix. Went to Willys Overland web site with vin and figured it out.  I believe everything is here. I have a small shed with loads of parts that go with the CJ, carb, dist, seats, 2 windshield frames 1 with glass, gauges, 2 stearing columns, soft top, soft doors, grill with lights & turn signals, floor panels, skid plate, trailer hitch, bolts & screws and CJ builders book.  It has a 350 GM crate motor mounted, with trany, transfer case, missing front drive shaft. Drive shaft should be aval. from Border parts in Spring Valley. Motor I was told has 15,000 miles on it, I have not had it running, turns by hand”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800

“Up for sale is my ’62 CJ-5, affectionately know as the JEEPAPILLAR!!!! It has a 8000lb Ramsey winch on the front A lifting boom and tow bar”

This sounds like a good price on a CJ with new tires and brakes. There’s a couple things that puzzle me.  The reversed springs in the front and the M-38a1 dash would suggest, well, a M-38a1; However, the serial number suggests a CJ-5.

“64 CJ Willys jeep. Runs and drives great, New brakes and tires this winter. Not much has been done with this jeep as I have no time. Job transfer is forcing the sale, We dive this jeep about three times a month and almost everytime it snows in the winter..”

“I am forced into selling my 1956 Willy’s Jeep. It is in pretty good condition for it’s age. It has a nice vinyl top and a new backseat. It has one very small patch of rust on the rear tailgate.  Due to an accident that I had and being out of town for work, we haven’t been able to use it for awhile but last time we used it, it ran very well. Right now it won’t start and we believe it is a bad starter. We just haven’t had time to find out.  We use it on the farm and in the mountains. A really fun 4 wheeler and hunting rig. We have dropped the asking price by a considerable amount because of the starter.  It has a winch on the front and also a tow bar. It has fancier wheels than are shown in these pictures and larger tires. The tires are in fairly good condition.

Whoever had it before we did, cut the front fenders to put huge tires on it. We removed the tires and put a more reasonable size on it but we never got the fenders replaced. We put fender flares on it, which look okay. It does have bigger tires than are shown in the pictures and nicer wheels.  If you are interested, I will take current pictures with the other wheels and tires. It’s just been such crummy weather that I didn’t think I could get a good picture. These pictures are only a year or so old.”

This looks like a nice jeep to be parting it out.  The top is a bestop and appears in good condition.

“Lots of good parts and lots of good prices. Bestop, fenders, hood, body, frame, Old Man EMU ARB leaf springs, trailmaster shocks, T18 Transmission, Dana 44 Dana 30 with power locker, 6 point roll bar, racing bucket seats, 1988 Wrangler steering column with key, 1976 cj5 swinging peddles. Bridgestone Dueler 33×15 tires and 10×15 rims etc, etc…”
