Gateway Classic Cars of San Antonio/Austin is proud to present this classic 1959 Willys Jeep CJ5, a true icon of American automotive history. 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. The rugged, no-frills CJ-5 proved to be the longest-running iteration of the continually evolving Jeep, remaining in production until 1983. Sporting a striking red exterior, this vintage beauty is sure to turn heads wherever it goes. The tan and red interior offers a charming contrast, creating a nostalgic atmosphere that transports you to a bygone era. Under the hood, this CJ-5 is powered by a “Hurricane“ 134 cu-in inline-four-cylinder engine equipped with Solex carburetor, new fuel pump, pressure regulator and ignition, mated to a three-speed manual transmission with a new clutch, throw-out bearing and shift linkage. This combination ensures a driving experience that is both engaging and authentic, allowing you to fully appreciate the craftsmanship of this historic vehicle. Equipped with 15“ steel wheels wrapped in Kumho radial tires, this Jeep offers improved handling and stability, enhancing your driving experience whether you're on or off the road. Safety and comfort are not overlooked in this classic model. The inclusion of seatbelts provides an added level of security, while the vinyl interior ensures durability and ease of maintenance. This 1959 Willys Jeep CJ5 is more than just a vehicle; it's a piece of history that offers a unique blend of style, performance, and practicality.
