For Sale 1971 Jeep Cj-6 Fire Jeep W/5,800 Orig. Miles (dauntless V-6)

$12,900

See bottom of this listing for items we'll consider as partial trades. Located in East Tennessee (37743). FYI...My Username here is relatively new because I couldn't get logged into my old account (Username 1x1_Speed_Craig), despite trying to get admins here to get me back in. I've been around here on & off for years.

This rare 1971 Jeep CJ-6 was purchased new and owned by a volunteer fire station.

The mileage is not a typo...these are actual miles. It has the desirable Dauntless Odd-Fire 225 V-6 engine, T14 transmission and Dana 18 transfer case, along with the "unicorn" offset flanged Dana 44 rear axle used only in '70 1/2-71 CJs. It also has a working Ramsey DC-9 8000-lb. winch (similar to a Warn 8270), which was installed new as a factory Jeep option (I can include some electronic documentation from Ramsey with the purchase).

The paint is all-original, so what you see is what you get (no hidden bondo/bodywork). It's very solid for it's age, with the exception of the rear cargo area. The fire station installed a water tank in the rear on top of a rubber mat. Over time, this rusted the floor underneath. The interim owner after the fire department installed a plywood rear floor section, fiberglassed it in, and then used bed liner in the cab. It presents decently, but I'd replace it with steel panels from Classic Enterprises were I keeping the Jeep. The front floor pans, hat channels, and passenger tool compartment floor are all very solid.

The list of *NEW* parts is long...

• BDS 2 1/2" suspension (springs/shocks) are great for the 31" x 10.5" tire size (Kelly Safari tires are in excellent condition). Original front springs were riding on the bump stops, and 15-leaf rear springs were STIFF.
• Fresh alignment after the suspension install
• Aluminized exhaust from the manifold back (with better ground clearance than OEM), including a new Borla stainless steel muffler
• Professionally-rebuilt carb from I-5 Automotive (new carb has electric choke)
• Full tune-up
  
• Fuel pump
• Fuel filter
• Plugs
• Spark Plug Wires
• Distributor cap (Prestolite distributor)
• Rotor
• Points
• Condenser
• PCV valve & grommet
• Rear wheel cylinders
• Bestop Tigertop
• Crown spare tire carrier for the passenger side (not yet installed)
• Walck's/Kaiser Willys front bumper replaced the extended fire station bumper (horrible approach angle, and HEAVY)

It runs nicely, and drives straight down the road; drives decently, at least for a 52-year-old Jeep with manual steering & brakes. The 3.73 axle gearing allows for nice road cruising speeds vs. many of the lower-geared vintage Jeeps. There are still some minor wrap-up things to address...turn signals, wipers and heater don't yet work. Bestop doors need minor tweaking for fit, and lower snaps installed (I have all necessary hardware). I'd personally replace the fuel tank, as well.

This Jeep is a survivor, and turns a LOT of heads. It's not perfect, but it's a solid example of a rarer Jeep CJ model still sporting original body/paint, and has less original miles than most of the population puts on a vehicle in a 6-month timeframe. We have owned several rare/unique Jeeps, and this one ranks right up there!

Thanks,
Craig

Will consider partial trades related to:

• Category 1 tractor implements (60" is typically ideal for our tractor)
• Small hobby farm equipment
• Military CUCV parts/vehicles
• Military generator (5-10kw)
• M1101/M1102 military trailer
• Livestock fencing materials
• Building materials (we still need to stick-build end walls, including doors, for a Quonset Hut building)

 

If I were closer this might get me back into old Jeeps! Very nice and I always wanted a 6.

 

I am closer, and have been thinking about this Jeep for a while.

PM inbound

 

Wow, just wow. I wish I was in the position to snap on that because it is almost exactly what I want for a -6.

 

Yep!!!
It's better than a Ronald Regan CJ-6.

 

Man that is a great deal. What a bute!!!!

 

X3 & 4 . Yes it's a great example & rare too Boot ! GLWS

 

Thanks, everyone. Much appreciated.

FWIW, we're into self-sufficiency, and "preparedness-related things"...I hesitate to use the word "preppers", as "Reality TV" pretty much made all of us look like lunatics. I did list some specific partial trade items at the bottom of my ad above, and we would potentially be open to other prepping and/or self-sufficiency-related items if you want to get creative. PM me if you're interested in having a conversation, and I'll shoot you my phone number.

 

I have equipment for taking down big game and canning the meat. In other words rifles, and a pressure canner.

 

That's a great looking jeep, and probably a fair price! I'd definitely be interested if I wasn't in thr middle of a project. Was this jeep on your youtube channel awhile back? I think I remember it.

 

Thanks. Yeah, I bought it from a guy who flipped it, and had it on his YouTube channel after he brought it home. Lots of work has been done to it since then (more than I expected/planned).

 

Nice, I thought I recognized it! Looks like a really nice jeep,good luck with the sale!

 

Additional trade considerations...

• Diesel fuel transfer tank (for install in the back of a pick-up truck)
• Diesel farm tank
• Pew-pew related things (can be discussed via phone if you PM me your number)

I'd like to get this sold within the next few weeks, and will consider reasonable offers.

Thanks,
Craig
