1969 Jeep CJ5
The previous owner purchased in 1974. When we got it , it was a rolling chassis, and most of the parts had been painted. We completed the build over the last eight weeks.
Im still waiting on the tailgate and front bumper.
NEW
The Willys CJ-5 (after 1964 Jeep CJ-5) was influenced by new corporate owner, Kaiser, and the Korean War M38A1 Jeep. It was intended to replace the CJ-3B, but that model continued in production. The CJ-5 repeated this pattern, continuing in production for three decades while three newer models appeared. "The CJ-5 has the distinct honor of being a vehicle that was hard to kill off... equaling the longest production run of note."
