1963 CJ-5 Colorado Springs, CO **SOLD**

UPDATE: **SOLD**

"1963 Willys CJ5 Jeep
It has the rare Tuxedo Park package and the original Indian Ceramic paint with removable Meyers Hard top.
It has the mighty Hurricane 4 cylinder motor.
I purchased it from the original owner (a rancher in Gunnison) and she told me she was the only person who ever drove it.
It has less than 28,000 original miles and it runs great.
Everything works- heater, wipers, lights, gauges, has new tires.
The frame, body and suspension are solid as a rock.
Transmission and the 4 wheel drive transfer case work just right and it has Warn locking hubs.
This is a rare find that has not been messed up or molested.
I purchased it just to have a project to work on.
I cleaned it up and have done all the maintenance it needed with new hoses, fluids, tune up, brake lines, tires etc.
I am ready to move on to the next project so this one needs a new home.
Original Owner's Manual and Service Manual and it even has the original Jack!
Tow bar and lights are included.
It has never been re-painted but a lot of value is now in the "rust-o-rod" look.
You can restore a car many times but they are only Original once.
Located in north end of Colo. Spgs.."

    Well here we are a year later and it's still foe sale, another example of a INFLATED market price.

    Very educational posts on MarkIII. I enjoyed them. I think the Ackerson book was one of the first I bought that created a dream that someday I would own one of each model produced. YEAH RIGHT! I learned pretty quick that would never happen. I eventually also learned that the Standard Catalogue of 4x4's is sort of like the Sears Catalogue. It has a little information on a lot of things. Someone we both know contacted and met with Ackerson to try to buy his original data. Thee was none. It's a great book but was written from published spec sheets not engineering records. Jim Allen's publications required much more "in depth" research, we he continues today... As far as carrying a Jeep top on a bicycle, um, no. I bought a Meyer CJ7 top in Laramie Wyoming and had to strap it to the roof of a Ford Excursion to get it home.

    Mike. It's not "a year later and it’s still for sale". It was sold a year ago, cleaned up, checked and serviced and now again for sale by the new owner at a higher value because it is now clean and serviced.

    Same pictures as a year ago, doesn't look any better than a year ago, but OK, what do I know. Just a New Jersey guy with "Street Smarts."

    I like seeing the Indian ceramic paint. Dad's 67 was Indian ceramic with V6 but not tuxedo park, always a good time

    I bought this jeep about a month ago. I've had a few jeeps in my life and as far as being rust free and completely original it's one of the best I've seen. I'm going to drive it like it is and at some point I will get it painted because things in Louisiana tend to rust pretty quickly. I did spray a clear coat over the body when I got it home which looks really good. it definitely has the old school patina look to it. It is very complete so if anyone need any measurements or photos please let me know.

    Thanks for the update Allen. Thanks for your offer. You never know when someone needs those kinds of details. Enjoy your "new" jeep. - Dave
