I said I would never do it, but for personal reasons. I am going to sell my very nicely restored CJ-5. You've seen all the carved up ones with rhino liner and deck plating to hide rust and other problems, but you won't see any of that here. This is one awesome CJ-5. Here's the scoop. I had this shipped to me in MN from California several years ago. It was in exceptional condition. No rust, no issues. I paid a lot for it, but you cant hardly find a nice original CJ like this was. With that said, I went forward and disassembled her inside and out. We did not do a frame off because the underneath of her was just that nice. Still, I wanted to restore it to original. I have pics for the new owner of the interior, dash included, removed, cleaned, hand sanded and repainted. Yes, the complete original metal tub has been hand sanded, sealed, primed and painted with the original color and cleared on top of it. After the interior was done, the outer body got the same treatment. Very little body work with no rust removal or issues. The body was great already. It was prepped, primed, sealed, painted with 3 coats of original white and clear coated. Needless to say, it is a beautiful shiny paint job. The frame and suspension have been touch up painted and rust proofed for long lasting protection. This is not a trailer queen, but it has been in the World Of Wheels car show 3 times and has won several trophies. It has the original suspension with no lift kit. Still the like new 33.12.50 15" tires and 10" wide wheels fit perfect and do not rub. This Jeep does not wander down the road. The steering is tight, and it is such a pleasure to drive. The 258 6 Cyl engine is rebuilt. The last owner had it done before I got it. I think I have those receipts but I have to find them. The engine starts easily and runs perfect. Here's a bonus! It has a beautiful Warn winch on the front with lanyard and brand new cable on it and it works great. It also has new carpet, just put in a new heater core, (what a job), new windshield, brand new great fitting Best Top, front stabilizer shock, many new dash parts, roll bar padding, cb radio, tow hitch, 4 speed trams, new shift knobs, brakes are very good, manual hubs rebuilt, good heater, newer wipers, and a new radio. But it needs a new antenna. The one on it is nice but reception is bad. The seats including the rear seat are the original seats and in excellent condition. I'm very proud of that, you rarely see that either. It has a larger aftermarket gas tank in the same original place. The gas gauge worked just fine but now it doesn't. I don't know why. It's not the gauge. I think it's the wire to the tank. Just haven't looked at it. I guess I could go on and on, but I will let you look at the pics and ask Q's if you need to. All I can say is this looks like a brand new original CJ. No disappointments here! A beautiful CJ-5 in original condition, that runs like a dream. Thanks for looking and good luck. Any shipping will be arranged by the winning bidder. But I will help where I can. It can easily be driven anywhere. It is well maintained and garaged 24/7. Happy bidding. Very sorry about the picture angles, cant figure out how to change them. Thanks, Bob
