1961 Jeep CJ

Jeep CJ (1961)
for sale

Price: US $5,500.00

Description:

Here is a very complete mostly original CJ5. I believe it received a frame-off restoration in the 1980s. Judging by the engine swap, and the quality of paint both on the exterior as well as under the tub body. The frame is rock solid. Top speed is around 45mph-50mph from the factory. Not suitable for the highway. I have driven it a few hundred miles around town with no mechanical problems.

I've driven it for a couple months with no problems. But if I were to keep any longer I would upgrade the brake pads and flush the entire system with fresh brake fluid.

“This is a 50 plus year old Jeep CJ5 pickup. It is not for the faint of heart. Top speed from the factory is around 45-50 mph. Overall this is a well cared for Jeep that is an excellent candidate for a driving restoration, or enjoy as it is. I have driven it a few hundred miles around town. There are no mechanical faults I'm aware of. There is no warranty of any kind.”
