1964 CJ-5 Trencher Somerset, PA **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: This sold for $6250 on eBay.

Dave’s selling his low mileage, stock CJ-5 Trencher. This will make a great vehicle for someone. I got a chance to look at this during our trip this past summer. It was a bit dustier then.

“I’ve been chasing Jeep vehicles for several decades and this is the nicest, lowest mileage, most original Jeep I’ve ever run across – especially considering that is will be FIFTY years old next year!

If you can find a 1964 CJ-5 with fewer miles, more original, and with more factory options on it – then buy it and not this one…

This Jeep was originally purchased by a local Steel company for the sole purpose of installing a sprinkler system in a golf course that they owned. I was told that oncethat task was completed it pretty much simply just stayed in the company garage of vehicles being

driven occaisionally and inspected each year! I’ve owned it for probably fifteen or twenty years now and am not able to enjoy it as I should be doing so its time to find it a new home. As the new owner, you’ll be only the third owner of this FIFTY year old Jeep and “Bubba” never had his hands on this one to mess it all up!”

CJ-3A with Snow Plow and Auburn Jeep-a-Trench Santa Rosa, CA

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3A, Features • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

I was looking through some pictures related to this post and spotted this CJ-3A with a Jeep-a-Trench and snow plow in a wrecking yard in Santa Rosa, CA. I don’t know if it is for sale, but it might be. It’s no wonder the back tires are flat!
