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.' Sold with Bill of sale
