1962 Willys CJ5 - 15k Miles - Highly Original - Rare options This is an exceptional opportunity to own a highly original Willys 'Universal Jeep' CJ-5, the first massed produced 4WD vehicle. Charming original Spruce Tip Green paint and original green upholstery make this great driver all the more enjoyable. Rare factory options include a removable hardtop, dealer installed heater, dealer installed undercoating and Power Lock Hubs. The originality of this CJ-5 is astounding. Aside from the original paint you will find matching engine, transmission and Carter YF carburetor. A good deal of the original rubber is intact, including the factory spare tire (which looks to have never been used). A period correct Motorola radio and the addition of rear bench seats, in the factory NOS upholstery, are among the few non-factory modifications. This CJ-5 drives exceptionally well, starting easily on the manual choke and warming up quickly. Shifting through the 3-speed transmission is smooth, complimented by a recently replaced clutch. The original Hurricane inline-4 has substantial torque and provides good acceleration up to 60 mph. Brake feel and control is excellent from the original drum brakes. While very capable with selectable 4WD, this CJ-5 is fun to drive around the city, too. It's easy to park with great visibility. This is a classic you can use year-round, in town or in the country. Despite it's age, this truck is immensely capable and will take you most anywhere in the world, on-road or off. This is an easy to own classic driver that's simple to service with parts availability on nearly every continent. You'll only find minor cosmetic issues including a few easily repaired rust spots (see photos). No cosmetic repairs were undertaken, only to preserve originality. This time capsule CJ-5 has been prized for its factory originality and used in period film, including the Bob Dylan bio-pic 'A Complete Unknown' and the miniseries 'The Crowded Room.'
