Description of 1956 Willys CJ |
Offering for sale a 1956 Willys Jeep CJ5. This is everything a classic 60 year old Jeep is and should be. It has a 260 Ford V8 and the rest of the drive train is the stock T-90 transmission, Dana 18 transfer case, and Dana 25 and 44 axles. Sometime in the Jeeps past it received a 260 Ford V8. for those not familiar, it is just a slightly smaller version of the 289 and 302 small block Fords. It was produced for a few years in the 60's. The good: Very dependable, has been my daily driver for a year. Engine runs like a sewing machine, has good oil pressure and runs cool Sweet fender well exhaust headers Pertronix ignition Saturn or Warn PTO overdrive unit (tag is worn) 4 wheel drive works as it should Winch works, but has not been needed or tested under heavy load Seats 4 with seat belts Metal hard top Top and doors are easy to remove The top is currently off, but I can easily re-install for you take take home Brakes have been upgraded to bigger, later model Jeep drums Good tires, lots of tread Tow bar included Clear title, current registration until May of 2017 The bad: The gas gauge doesn't work, I watch the odometer Rattles and clunks like any old Jeep will do Some rust is just starting on the rocker panels Some rust has taken hold in the windshield frame Minor oil leaks from engine and trans/transfer Both front seats have minor tears Front fenders are fiberglass If you are in the market for an early CJ, this will not disappoint. The V8 has an ideal low power band for the stock running gear. It's old, it's a well used Jeep. It drives nice for what it is with such a short wheel base. I am keeping the gas can on the rear rack. I'm sure I've forgotten to mention something, so please ask questions and come take it for a test drive. If you are not local, I will work with the shipper you arrange and pay for. I can provide free indoor storage for 30 days after auction end and fully paid. $200 down via paypal with 48 hours of auction end. Fully paid via cash or certified bank check with 7 days. |
