Why This CJ-5?

Most “cheap” CJ5s out there are unfinished projects, rust buckets, or running tired 258/304 motors. This one has already had the hard (and expensive) work done — rebuilt AMC 360, new braking system, sealed body, and brand-new tires/wheels. Add in the complete seating setup and a full soft top/doors package, and this CJ is a turn-key classic 4x4 with thousands in recent upgrades.
