Asking $10 000 (books for $14 000). Need to sell. 95 restored very good condition! All reasonable offers will be consideredThe 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.[12] A total of 603 303 CJ 5s were produced between 1954 and 1983.In 1965 Kaiser bought the casting rights to the Buick 225 cu in (3.7 L) V6 Dauntless and the CJ 5 and CJ 6 got a new engine with 155 hp (116 kW) supplementing the four cylinder Willys Hurricane engine.A similar model the Jeep DJ was based on the CJ.The company was sold to American Motors (AMC) in 1970 and the GM engine was retired after the 1971 model year. (GM's Buick division repurchased the engine tooling in the early 1970s which served as the powerplant in several GM vehicles.) The Trac Lok limited slip differential replaced the Powr Lok in 1971.American Motors began using their own engines in 1972. Replacing the Hurricane was the one barrel 232 cu in (3.8 L) (except in California). Optional was a one barrel 258 cu in (4.2 L) (standard in California). Also in 1972 AMC's 304 cu in (5.0 L) V8 engine became available in the same tune as a base V8 muscle car. To accommodate the new engines the fenders and hood were stretched 5 inches (127 mm) starting in 1972 and the wheelbase was stretched 3 inches (76 mm). Other drive train changes took place then as well including the front axle becoming a full floating Dana 30.In 1976 the tub and frame were modified slightly from earlier versions. The windshield frame also changed meaning that tops from 1955 1975 will not fit a 1976 1983 CJ 5 and vice versa.Link to ad on Hemmings.com
