SOLD 12/24/15

This little original CJ5 has had the same Arizona owner since 1980.  Rot free original paint (except for windshield frame which I had blasted and painted).

Very cool color, decals and interior.

This Jeep has zero rot (no bubbling rust).  No Patches now or ever.

This is an unrestored specimen and very uncommon.

Documents and service recordsOriginal dealer invoice from Flagstaff Arizona with all options shown.  The better engine for the year in the Good running original 258 6 cylinder.  I believe the inadequacies of the oiling system in the AMC V8 had a lot to do with the company going out of business.  The basis for the inline 6 cylinder engine was used through 2006!  The AMC V8 was scrapped as soon as the parts ran out.

Interior removed to clean and show off the original paint un-rotted floors.  Compare this to the other Jeep you're thinking about that is Rhino lined to hide all the patches and rot.  This floor is not touches up and what you see is the most minor surface rust

Spare tire removed to show off the back of the Jeep where CJ5s always rust first

Shown in place....Correct original carrier and even the original factory tire. wheel and bumperettes.

Original carpet included but I suggest you leave it out.

Original Jack and bag in it's designated storage location next to the driver (usually gone)

Original seats and center console

Tilt column and Renegade sport wheel.  Dealer installed factory tachometer

Unduplicatable patina on the hood and fenders.  You can clear coat this to protect it or paint it and know exactly what it will cost as this Jeep has ZERO body work in it.  Repainted Jeeps will almost surely be full of bodywork and rust)
