1974 CJ-5 Rustburg, VA SOLD

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3200.

This has government plates, so might be a true CJ-5 Army jeep!

"Real deal surplus jeep, running gear good(only 56,000 miles) , drive/hunt with it as is or restore."

The CJ-5 was never used in direct combat, it was just used by a NAF employee.

Of course, this was probably parked on a base more than anything else. But, that could be true of many of the surviving MBs/GPWs/M-38s/M-38A1s. As for the CJ-5 was never in combat, I suspect that is probably not true. I think it is more accurate to say that the United States Military did not purchase the CJ-5 for use in combat. However, the military did test the CJ-5 between 1975-1976, along with other 4x4s. Meanwhile, the CJ-5 was fought with in Africa: http://cj3b.info/Finds/FindsCongo.html. Whether those were American-made or a jeep-licensed manufacturer isn't clear.
