1959 Willys Jeep CJ5

1959 Willys Jeep CJ-5. After WWII, Willys smartly capitalized on the success of their military Jeeps and began producing a “Civilian Jeep” -- or CJ -- and the rest is history. This “Universal Jeep,” as it was marketed at the time, was a huge hit and over 600,000 CJ-5s were produced from 1954 to 1983 -- but few have been restored to this standard.The engine, axles and suspension were all rebuilt and detailed to a show standard. The Hurricane F-head 4-cylinder runs great and is mated to a 3-speed manual gearbox. The seats were restored with appropriate materials, including the rare factory rear seat. Likewise the correct wheels were media blasted and restored with modern radial tires in place of original bias-plys, but close in size and appearance.
