1961 Willys CJ5 Description:

This is a 1961 titled year (year sold) Willy’s Jeep, Serial Number 57548 115728 (Manufactured 1960).It was my Uncles project vehicle that he restored from the ground up.He was a very accomplished mechanic with over 50 years of experience. During the restoration process he was very meticulous in documenting everything; In-process pictures, receipts, and any other various documents. I am the third registered owner however it was only done to sell it. This jeep is an off-roading Monster, it was built to handle rugged Mountainous terrain. Engage 4x4 Lo, place in first gear, and watch it climb a mountain at idle.

Below is a good summary of what was done but it is not a complete list, just the major items.

-The frame was sand blasted, epoxy coated, and painted black.The paint is 2005 Dodge Red and was lined with Gator Guard on the interior and underneath.

-1981 Buick 231 V-6 bored .0030 over, with polished and balanced crank.

-NP435 Four speed transmission including Granny Gear, and a Dana 18 Twin Stick transfer case.

-Dana 27 Front Axle with 373 gears, new bearings, seals, etc.

-New Carb, Distributor, Clutch, Bellhousing and adapter, and Disc Brake Kit.

-Later Model Jeep Roll Bar

-Other Brand-New installed items: heater, speedometer and gauges, seats (mounted to original seat frames), and (3) brand-new seat belts were installed (no seatbelts originally).

-Super Top from Bestop and a Jeep Bikini Top also included.
