Now for sale in our Houston Showroom is the 1961 Willys CJ5 for sale. This Willys has had a frame-off restoration by the previous owner (P.O.). The body was media blasted, epoxy coated and then painted. All original panels as far as the seller knows. Windshield assembly was replaced with a 1971 version. The later model version allows a taller person to see better without âslouching" because the windshield wipers are on the bottom, not the top of the windshield.
The Interior has sprayed with Bedliner by the PO. It has also been upgraded with seat tracks were modified, then powered coated, for the new seats. Rollbar was added (powder coated). New top. Ammo can âconsole" 75MM Howitzer shell casting âdrink holders" and gun rack. New gauges, speedometer and 12V power port added.
