1955 Jeep CJ5 Convertible – Barn find – Clear Title
Bought from an old timer in Flagstaff AZ. This is a Southwestern Jeep its whole life. Sitting and stored for many years in a barn.
Very clean body, no rot. Minor scratches and small dents, no accidents, no Rust Rot, Only light Surface rust on frame, spring, tub.
She shifts, starts and is in running shape. Not surprising the brakes are weak from sitting so long. An pleasant surprise is she is powered by a V8 Ford 289 Cobra motor! With Manual trans & Twin Stick Transfer Case and only 42,106 showing on the original speedo/odometer.
I replace all the original old tires & rims with Brand new All Terrain Firestone Tires and White Steel Wagon wheels all around.
New Driver's bucket seat & mount, Original soft top bows, original Half Doors.
She runs and shifts. With some cleanup, fresh gas, and fluids. She will run like a bat out of hell.
Would make a fun basic 4x4, or starter project with Valuable V8 289 Motor.
