1961 Willys Jeep Truck CJ (Civilian) Restored/Restomod in Beautiful Condition
V8 Gas Engine Restored 4x4 off-road Jeep truck For Sale. 1961 Models are listed as Model 6-226. Are you ready for your next adventure in this open air 4 wheel drive Americana? My family is ready to sell this Jeep that has been restored, painted in a shiny bright Red, combined with a nice new re-imagined interior. You will find that various parts of the interior, exterior, and engine bay have been coated with black truck bed liner for a durable finish and to prevent rust. It is in good running condition. It features a "granny low" 1st gear, and 2nd, 3rd, and 4th for cruising. My understanding is that you have to turn the lockers on the front wheels to lock the front wheels for rock crawling. This Jeep drives straight despite the short wheelbase because a special steering box was installed which makes the steering smooth as well. The 350 tbi engine was rebuilt and has about 6000 miles on it and has fuel injection, mated to a 465 manual transmission with computer trans. A custom Ron Davis radiator was been installed. With Power Steering and Power Brakes this Jeep is easy and fun to drive. Featuring a Dana 20 rear end with a Detroit locker model 30 front end and 411 gears with electronic lockers. Dana 300 Transfer Case. A custom 20 gallon aluminum gas tank was installed to put all the gas in one place and keep the truck driving a long distance. Custom Front and Rear Bumpers have been installed, just look how beautiful and strong they look in the pictures. New Rancho Suspension with new Springs and Shocks lift kit installed. Autometer guages installed and they all seem to work well except that the speedometer needs something connected to make function. Check out the awesome offroad AT tires with sporty 5 spoke wheels. Includes the black Bikini Top soft top cover that slips in on the front and ties to the Roll Bar on the rear. There are quality of life modifications done such as the notches made to allow the front seats to go back and recline so you can be in a comfortable position, even for a tall guy like me!
Clean title is in hand, clear. You may consider this a Restomod as there are some modern touches done to it. This vehicle is located in Hawthorne, California. Local pickup unless shipping is arranged beforehand. Any shipping and handling costs will be covered by the buyer. Please ask if you have any questions at least a day in advance from the auction closing. I try to be as accurate as possible with the listing, but please understand I am not an expert on these vehicles and I am not a qualified mechanic able to judge the vehicle in any way. I only work on my own personal vehicles which has suited me well over 10 years.
