The pics aren’t the greatest, but it sounds like this is in excellent shape!

“1965 Willy’s Tuxedo Park 20Th Anniversary CJ 5 These jeeps are very rare!!! 225 cu V-6. Holly 400 cfm 4 barrel carb on an Edelbrock manifold. Headers, Overdrive, Full Cage Roll Bar, 11 inch Brakes, Duel gas tanks, Front locking hubs,Tilt and Power Steering and an after market heater. Here are some pictures. I`m going to put it up on a lift and get some pics of frame and running gear for those of you that want more. It`s never had a break or crack in the frame. I even have the original key that came with the jeep when purchased new. It had a single shift transfer case that my dad changed the shifter handles on. You know how those old school folks are. This jeep was set up right. It has a long stroke motor with small primaries in the carburetor for good low end torque and good gas mileage and secondaries for good performance. Its the only 225 I’ve ever seen with a 4 barrel. Not to say they’re not out there. It has 39.000 original miles. With a little cleaning and a nice paint job it would look like new. It has a little dent in the hood and at the bottom of the door. When I say little I mean very little.This jeep was my fathers and he took very good care of it. He passed away 2 years ago and its been sitting outside. It was in the garage for the first 42 years of its life. Its going to be hard to see it go. I would like to see it go to someone who would take care and enjoy it like my dad did. I will send you more pictures if you want. Thanks for looking and hope you like what you see. Steve.   My Email is Jeeepin@yahoo.com”

One of our reader’s thinks this might be 1 of 89 produced according to the early CJ-5 Page based on these links (1) Production numbers http://www.earlycj5.com/technical/engines/ (2) If the Dauntless is stock it would be a 67 http://www.earlycj5.com/technical/engines/

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1550.

Here’s what appears to be a good price on a running, low mileage CJ-5 with a plow.  I’m not sure how it got so much rust if it was garaged for 44 years.

“1963 Willy’s Jeep with plow, 29,540 miles, Garaged for 44 Years! Complete and Original Engine
Convertible Top and Doors, Body sturdy (good amount of rust), Engine Runs Terrific! Still plowing snow (original plow) and tugging out trees! Happy to provide more information”

Jim provided a link to this jeep.  This is an unusual CJ-5 due to the very low mileage (14,736) and vintage accessories.  I love the old top.

“This is a classic all original 1960 Willys CJ5, garage kept with 14,736 miles, one owner. It is in very good condition with original orange paint and factory plough attachment. It has never been restored but it doesn’t need it. It includes the original soft top, owner’s manual, service manual, and the original receipt (from 1959). Flaws: Rodent chewed a single small hole in the top, approximately 1.5″ in diameter. Seats each have a single crack down the middle of the backrest. Ding on left rear corner. Crack in passenger door plastic window. All of the above are repairable. Other than that, it is in excellent shape. It starts, runs, and drives flawlessly. The original suspension is in good working order. The paint is in great shape. Buyer is responsible for shipping charges, if applicable. Please feel free to ask me any questions.”

There had been some discussion amongst us (maybe it was just Mitch and I?) about whether CJ-5s came with reversed shackles.  Well, here’s an early pretty stock 1955 CJ-5 (serial number 10534) pointed out to me by a reader that has a the reverse shackles.  So, at least for a time, the CJ-5s came with the reversed shackles.

I couldn’t resist posting this unusual and modified jeep.

“I bought an old jeep to restore but it has not happened and I have owned it for over a year. Its stock with a modified bed with safari seats. I just need it to go to a good home so make me a deal and it will be yours. I paid $500 over a year ago. I am ready to sell for scrap so come get it… make me an offer. Ask Questions and I will answer what I can. Thanks.”

UPDATE:  this jeep sold and is on it’s way to California.

Here’s an unusual find.  A garage kept, completely original Tuxedo Park CJ-5 with only 67,500 original miles.  It’s been garaged in Montana since new, garaged in Washington the last four years and serviced every year.

This project includes a new fiberglass body and fenders.  It also, to my surprise, has some desert dogs with decent tread.  It looks like a lot of work has already been done.

“Mechanical work complete. Finish the body and drive! Mint frame and suspension. Brand new Rancho 2.5″ Lift Kit with Shocks. All new wheel cylinders and master cylinder. All new brakes. Motor mounts and body mounts new. New lock-outs. New universal joints. New fiberglass body & fenders. Tow bar, top, seats, doors. 134F Head, 3 speed with lo range and hi range. Needs paint & assembly, but it’s all there if you want to put together and drive. Could use new windshield frame. Call Gene @ 440-554-2935.”
