1965 CJ5 AUCTION Fresno, CA

ENDS- 5-5-2025 Good Luck to any prospective bidders.

Up for Auction is a 1965 CJ5, looks to have a stout winch and like most rigs on here many stories that are most likely lost to history only mentioned around a few buddies every couple of years.

Tim’s Take on Auctions

Find a friend who you trust and has been through the process, in other words not me. But in my opinion Auctions are a little tricky, I’ve so far not been a bidder or buyer, but I have sold at Auction and I think you need to compartmentalize at times the overall cost vs gain, move it down the road or toss it back on the trailer. Commit but be flexible enough to see the forest through the trees kind of deal, sometimes the rig is just is better off down the road and you move on, and it costs you a few Willys Bucks’ Total Cost of Ownership is not just the dollars in your pocket after your time has ended with the rig, there are lots of memories that are priceless, which is why I say get out there and meet up with some folks at some of these great events.

You really should read the Terms and Conditions directly on the Auction House website for how exactly the bidding works, including title transfer, ownership, type of title you are getting, is this even able to be put back on the road. I can keep going, but do your homework, and there will always be another Willys coming up for Sale very soon that my fit your needs better then something that has just caught your attention and is ending too soon to do your homework.

This auction has: Lots of hyperlinks to their T&C and processes, they are listed next to the various items at times.

• Reserve Price
  • Minimum they will sell this lot for.

• Max Proxy Bid
• From this Auction Houses Link:
• Understand proxy pre-bidding
• IMPORTANT – You are asking us to represent you at an upcoming private auction and bid on your behalf only up to the limit you set here. Accordingly, you should submit your MAXIMUM bid prior to the pre-bidding deadline noted above. Remember, current bid amount at close of pre-bidding is not a good indicator of the ultimate sale price. Sellers may have a reserve price set and another bidder may have a max bid set much higher than the current bid shown. Bid realistically.

• Auctions utilize a proxy bidding system, whereby the system can automatically bid up the minimum amount necessary for one to be the high bidder, but only up to the max bid amount entered here. If you do not enter your maximum bid, you will be at a significant disadvantage to those who do.
• My take on it
  • You set your max price and they have a system that increments your bid to your max price, typically and not sure if this applies if you are below the Reserve price your first bid is going to go to the Max, so if its $25 to register to buy a vehicle get set up and the sort and your Max bid is $1200 and the reserve is $2500, your bid is going right to the $1200.

• Minimum Bid
  • Lowest possible bid. (see above on the proxy max bid)

• Buy it Now Price
  • They listed a price for you to buy it now.

• Auction fees listed
  • Not sure if they go up past what’s listed read the T&C’s goes a long way.

So lot to unpack there and just beware of the total cost of the rig and how the increments work for the bidding.

Bring on the PICTURES ALREADY!!!!!

1957 WILLYS JEEP CJ5 AUCTION San Diego, CA ***SOLD***

AUCTION CLOSED LOT SOLD. NOT FOR SALE.

Auction ended on Friday, October 25, 2024.

Someone got a really cool CJ5, this has a lot going for it. It seems like it should have a bunch of stories to tell from previous adventures.

Dual Gas Tanks

Has a battery box like a M38A1, so again I’m little out of my range here on that set up, gauges seem to be CJ5.

Seats are just awesome to look at, not so much to sit on probably.

Works out to a 1957 CJ5 on the VIN TAG 57548 46393

Some notes from the Auction House:

Primary Damage: All over  < That’s just not true,

Odometer: 401,389 mi (645 973 km) < Wonder if it has service records? Guess some new kid did not know how to read the thing.

1968 Jeep Willys CJ5 $1,700 Rexburg, ID

V6 missing some stuff for sure, but if you don’t need all that missing stuff just think about all the extra work and scrap you don’t have to deal with. It looks like it has a bunch of stuff, says OBO, No Title, not sure on ID Title stuff with Bill of Sale.

Information from seller:

1968 CJ5 with factory Buick V6. Engine turns over but doesn’t run. I got it in a package deal and don’t need it. Tires are new and where about for around $1500. Selling with bill of sale only. Last owner lost the title but I can provide a copy of my bill of sale as well to help get a title. Rust isn’t to bad but definitely has surface rust. Would make a great project. Price is OBO

1956 Willys Jeep CJ5 $2500 East Windsor, NJ

Maybe these are what we used to buy as $500 rigs as kids in the mid 90’s.  Maybe another of those go take a look if your doing a swap rig.

Another goal of some of these posts is to give folks some sense of the market and rigs that are out there currently, also can give you some reference of the older stuff and see some period modifications for better or worse.

For example these what I call Wagon Wheels, back in the day they were everywhere!

Information from seller:

1956 Willys jeep cj5. No engine no title. Body in very good condition for its age. Very sturdy. Some rust. Had 4cylinder engine from factory. $2500 plus extra parts.
