Safari Kar International’s DJ-5 Mods

I found a DJ-5 for sale (see below) that had a Safari-Kar data plate. I did some research to learn more about these vehicles.

Safari-Kar International was a company from Woodruff Avenue in San Bernardino, California, that purchased, restored, and resold postal jeeps. It was launched in 1993. Don’t confuse it with a weird car by the same name called the SafariKar.

As best as I can learn, the company sold remanufactured DJs and two different kits. One to swap the steering and chop and modify the back half and another for soft top kits. At their height they remanufactured around 30 jeeps a month. They also signed up twelve independent manufactures.

By 1995 the company ran into a legal problem. They were reselling the vehicles with a new odometer as a modern vehicle. But, by doing so the law dictated the ‘kars’ had to meet modern safety regulations. (you can read an entire article about the company in a 1995 article from Automotive news (also archived at the bottom of this page).

Four Wheeler Magazine may have reported on this modification in a 1993-1994 article, but I have yet to confirm that. They did reference a DJ in a later Cheap Jeep article, but with no mention of a soft top.

Here are a few links:

UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $9500.

(10/10/2014) It doesn’t have the column shift, but does have other early elements. It is #11653.

“Ive got to sell my beautiful 1945 Willys CJ2A to make room for my side by side. Original 4 cal 6V civilian model 1st year they were built. It has been in car shows and paradise and also around the hills around Mesquite. Green with yellow wheels was the original color, pretty wild for 1945. It will take you about anywhere you want to go and always puts a smile on everybody’s face. A lot of fun and in great shape”

1942 GPW Boulder, CO **SOLD**

December 10, 2014 • CATEGORIES: GPW (Ford MB) • TAGS: , . This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE:**SOLD** Was $24,000

Has matching numbers.

“One is a 1942 WW2 Jeep. It is Model GPW built by Ford and identical in every way to the Willys Model MB. Both Ford and Willys shared the WW2 production of 500,000 Jeeps almost equally. Ford had a policy of identifying virtually all of their parts including Bolts with the Ford script “F”. Because of this, a complete and original GPW will usually sell for a higher price than the comparable Willys. My GPW is serial number 10,100. Simply stated this is a very early WW2 Jeep and the 10,100th Jeep produced of a total Ford production of approximately 250,000 Jeeps. It was completed on March 25, 1942. The date is engraved on the original Ford data plate on the Glove box door.
The body, floors and all metal are in excellent condition. There is no rust. The Jeep has been garaged since I’ve owned it. Have Top/bows.
The engine is original and is engraved GPW 10,100 on the block. The Frame is also engraved GPW 10,100.
The Jeep cranks and starts like it should. It is a good driver as well.
The Jeep has a gun mount for a 30 cal Browning MG. I have the Browning MG which is made from a Browning parts kit. It is correct in appearance, size and weight. The guts of the MG have been modified so the MG will not fire. The MG is not a Live gun. It is for display.”

The engine runs.

“Old Jeep I call Rusty. A little to good to scrap out and not quite good enough for high dollar restoration. When I got her the plugs were broken and rusted in place so I pulled the head and removed them and cleaned up the head. Inspected engine and it looked in great condition. Reinstalled head with new plugs. Then found out starter was no good. Gave up on fixing starter and got new one only to find out ring gear had teeth missing. Pulled engine replaced ring gear and put new clutch kit in while I was at it. Put engine back in, pulled shift tower on transmission and inspected gears. All good. Changed fluids twice in transmission and transfer case. Shifts good now. Hooked up my jumper box and and after 30+ years, engine started right up. The carburetor needs a complete rebuild so I have to choke it to make it run. Engine has excellent compression and vacuum. Pretty good old Jeep. Will need hat channel and some floor work. It will also need a fuel tank, brake work and a windshield. Has great patina. This old Jeep came from the Warren, Arkansas area where it has been in an old shed for years. I have a video of engine running, so I’ll send it to an email address, just let me know. It’s sold with bill of sale only.”
