1975 Jeep CJ-5

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

The Jeep CJ-5 emerged through Willys-Overland's refinement of the initial World War II Willys MB "Jeep." Introduced in 1955, the CJ-5 represented a civilian version of the M-38A1 military Jeep being used in the Korean War. Vastly improved over its military sibling, the CJ-5 boasted a longer 81 inch wheelbase, comfortable bucket seats, and more rounded bodywork made of thicker-gauge steel. Initially, the sole available engine was the "Hurricane" F-head four-cylinder, tracing its roots back to the original WWII Jeep engine. That changed with the purchase of Kaiser-Jeep by American Motors in 1970, introducing a 100 horsepower, 232 cu-in inline-six as the standard power unit, with two V8s available as options beginning in 1972. The rugged, no-frills CJ-5 proved to be the longest-running iteration of the continually evolving Jeep, remaining in production until 1983. Today, these charming off-roaders continue to be enjoyed for their rugged appearance and military-derived overlanding prowess.

This lot is offered Without Reserve from The Roger Boman Collection, which comprises 27 vehicles ranging from European to American classics.
