Original '59

This is about as original a CJ as you're likely to find.

Agreed.

Due for a refresh mechanically, I'd expect.

I like it. It looks just like it should, used but cared for. It has a tag so I guess it has a title.

Wow! Very nice and a great price! Will sell fast!
Still has the rare Willys speedo and correct blue lens Sparton turn signal, along with the original correct tail lights and more.

The rear PTO is special. And the one piece seat frames are getting scarce.

The "8" speedo suggests the build date might possibly be earlier than '59, IIRC.

But the air in the tires isn't original!

All i can think about is how everything will fight you when you try to take it apart. Probably best not to try and just love it as it is.

Helps to be pro-active.

After a lifetime around vintage vehicles, it is my practice to keep several oil cans handy, filled with ATF. Anytime I'm "under the hood," underneath, or even walking past, I squirt whatever connectors, fasteners, nuts or bolts are within sight. It makes any future operations go much more successfully.

That license plate is priceless!

The area this Jeep is in (upper Arkansaas valley) is locally known as Colorado's "banana belt". It's surrounded by high mountains and is pretty arid. I doubt that rust is much of an issue on this Jeep.

This will sound odd coming from me but I think that’s a pretty fair price. I like it. Too nice to put a snow plow on though.
