This 1962 Jeep CJ5 is an unrestored 134ci I-Four 3-Speed manual equipped example that was purchased new in Harrisonburg, Virginia. The original owner ordered the truck with a factory hardtop, limited slip Model 44 rear end, and upgraded locking front hubs. This Jeep remained with its original owner until 2000, and a selection of inspection tear-offs support the odometer’s 12k-mile reading. Several modifications made in-period are present, including a tubular frame for mounting an engine-driven snow blower, and a rear PTO for use with a gang mower. A recent service was completed roughly a year ago which included a full brake overhaul and new fluids, as well as additional work detailed in the listing. It is sold with its original manual and warranty book.

The original owner fitted custom fabricated framework around the original front bumper front plus a custom draw bar at the rear, though the remainder of the body and paintwork is said to remain original. The factory equipped hardtop and doors are uncommonly seen factory options, as both Sears and Koenig offered lower-cost alternatives at the time. The glass remains intact and the garage door-style rear hatch retracts properly. The front bumper houses an unusual dual-spool Bendix winch, which the seller believes was used to control the chute on a snow blower.

Painted on details, like the 4-Wheel Drive logo and Willys logo, remain intact and the green vinyl chain covers are believed to be original. Some light corrosion is visible around panel seams. The paint around the right rear taillight brackets was sanded away by a prior owner in an attempt to correct some rust next to the taillights on both sides.

The Power-Lock hubs were an optional upgrade from the standard Warn locking front hubs. All five tires are original, and the spare does not appear to have been used.

The truck is optioned with dual heaters and the dash has not been cut for additional instrumentation. The interior looks to be well preserved and painted surfaces show minimal wear. The seller notes that the turn signal stalk along with the wiring to dash will need to be installed, along with some of the wiring to the rear tail lights. The original stalk is included.

The seats are a metallic green vinyl match the car’s paintwork. The seller notes that the driver’s seatbelt was replaced in the 1970s with an incorrect brown item. The seller sourced an NOS green seatbelt at Hershey last year to match the rest of the interior. It is believed that the rest of the interior fittings are original.

Dealer optioned dual-heaters cause this CJ5’s engine bay to appear slightly more crowded than normal. Both heaters are conventional, with one on the driver’s side under the dash, and the other on the right side of the engine bay.

The carburetor is original, but has been rebuilt along with the rest of the fuel system. The original radiator has likewise been re-cored, and the brakes have been serviced. All of the hoses are new, and an NOS AC fuel pump has been fitted.

Some surface corrosion is visible on the underside of the truck where the paint has deteriorated. The original owner had the truck undercoated by the dealer. The chassis, floors, inner fenders, and underside of the hood are all protected by undercoating. The front axle has been rebuilt to correct leaky inner seals.

The original owner’s manual and brochure are both included. Thirteen inspection tear-offs are included from new through 1993, and the truck was last registered in 1994. The tool kit and jack are included as well.

The seller has provided a walk-around video detailing how they acquired the truck, along with additional details of the services it has received during their ownership.
