For Sale: 1962 Jeep CJ5 in Mesa, Arizona

This 1962 Jeep CJ5, a true two-owner vehicle originally purchased new out of Lake Havasu, AZ, is an off-road trailblazer from a bygone era, a rugged embodiment of the adventurous spirit that refuses to be tamed. Clad in a gleaming white paint job that was refreshed with a BMW white basecoat/clearcoat, it sits on 15" black steel wheels wrapped in 33/21.50/15 front tires and 33/12.50/15 rear tires. Custom front and rear bumpers, rock sliders, a front tow bar, and a spare tire carrier/swing-out rear bumper add to its go-anywhere capabilities.

Climbing into the sparse yet functional interior is like stepping into the boots of an intrepid explorer. The Rhino-lined tub is built for durability, ready to withstand whatever the wilderness throws its way. The black vinyl and cloth bench seat may not coddle, but it'll keep you firmly in place as you navigate the unbeaten path. A Grant GT custom steering wheel on a tilt column puts control at your fingertips, while a Pioneer WMA/MP3 CD player with aux port provides the soundtrack to your adventures.

Beneath the hood, a 327 V8 crate motor roars to life, a replacement for the original powerplant courtesy of the Jeep's first owner. It's paired with a 3-speed manual transmission with a Warn overdrive unit, a dana model 18 transfer case, and a borg warner T90. The front Dana 30 and rear Dana 44 axles were overhauled with new bearings, seals, and gearing (believed to be 4.88), plus a locker up front and a limited slip in the rear, ensuring this Jeep is ready to conquer any terrain.
