1970 Jeep CJ5

Restored 1970 Kaiser Jeep CJ5 'Open Body' in Spring Green with Black Interior. This fantastic example has the optional, very rare and desired 225ci/160hp Dauntless (Buick) V6 Engine under the hood, (which is correct for this truck), backed by a Borg-Warner 3-Speed Manual Gearbox with Over-Drive. Warn Locking Hubs, Steel Wheels with Off-Road Tires, Correct Oil-Bath Air Cleaner Assembly, Temp Gauge, Heater and Defroster, Vinyl Upholstery, Carpeting, Soft Top, Removable Soft Side Doors, Fold-Down Windshield, Bench Seat, Courtesy Lamp, Extra Wheels and Tires, New Battery. This completely restored, (older restoration), shows very well throughout with a nicely finished undercarriage, and it runs and drives flawlessly. Well maintained, properly serviced and caringly stored, this Kaiser CJ5 will make a fine addition to any garage.
The CJ-5 has the distinct honor of being a vehicle that was hard to kill off. It came in 1954 and left in 1984. The CJ-5 was a bit bigger/longer than the CJ-3B and was based on the round-fendered '51 M38A1. Willys gave its latest Jeep Universal model lots of newness at launch. Completely new! New ruggedness! New dependability! New comfort! New versatility! The CJ-5 was stepping it up in the brakes, suspension, seating, and even the glovebox (now with cover!) departments. A new instrument panel, larger windshield, and hand brake were selling points. The CJ-5 graduated from Willys to Kaiser and then to AMC. The short wheelbase and narrow frame of the CJ Jeeps allowed them to fit into places where full-size 4x4 trucks could not go. Their ability to maneuver over rough terrain made them ideal for park maintenance vehicles, forest fire protection, and transporting equipment and supplies to hard-to-reach places. Also helping them gain popularity was their low cost of repairs and operation. The push was that the Universal Jeep was truly universal--stick it in agriculture, public service, transportation, communications, industry, and it would do the job--from street sweeping to "acting as a public address vehicle" because it was "the world's most useful vehicle".
Kaiser Jeep was the result of the merger between the Kaiser-Frazer Corporation, and the Willys-Overland Company. Willys-Overland had survived World War II by producing the Jeep vehicle for the armed forces, and Jeep was considered the crown jewel of Willys-Overland. American Motors Corporation (AMC), looking to expand their product line, had on a couple of occasions entered into negotiations with Kaiser executives with the intent of purchasing the company. The deal was finalized in 1970, and Kaiser Jeep became "Jeep Corporation," a wholly owned subsidiary of AMC.
