Overview of 1955 Jeep CJ-5 For Sale by Owner

The 1955 Willys Jeep CJ-5 represents the early civilian evolution of the wartime Jeep formula, retaining the compact dimensions, simple mechanicals, and go-anywhere character that made the platform famous. Showing 32,946 miles, this example is finished in Forest Green with a Black/Gray vinyl interior and features the classic open-top CJ configuration with removable doors, a fold-down windshield, and a rear cargo area with a drop-down tailgate. Its 134ci Hurricane F-head four-cylinder, 3-speed manual transmission, and dual-range 4WD system give it the straightforward, mechanical driving experience that defines an early CJ.

Exterior and Interior

The exterior of this 1955 Willys Jeep CJ-5 is finished in Forest Green and keeps the purposeful styling that makes these early Jeeps instantly recognizable. Rounded front fenders, exposed hinges, a fold-down windshield, removable doors, and the open body emphasize its utilitarian roots, while white steel wheels and military-style all-terrain tires complete the period look. Front locking hubs and a simple rear cargo area reinforce the CJ-5’s off-road focus, and the drop-down tailgate adds the kind of practical functionality expected from a vintage utility vehicle. The interior of this 1955 Willys Jeep CJ-5 is deliberately simple, with Black/Gray vinyl bucket seats, a basic instrument layout, and exposed metal surfaces throughout. A floor-mounted 3-speed manual shifter is joined by the transfer-case controls, keeping the drivetrain operation direct and hands-on. There is little unnecessary trim or decoration here, which is part of the appeal—the cabin feels more like a working tool than a conventional passenger car and gives the driver an authentic early-Jeep experience.

Engine

Powering this 1955 Willys Jeep CJ-5 is a 134ci Hurricane F-head inline-four fed by a single-barrel carburetor and paired with a 3-speed manual transmission. A Dana 18 dual-range transfer case sends power through the 4WD system, while solid axles and leaf springs front and rear provide the rugged underpinnings these Jeeps were known for. Manual steering and manual brakes keep the driving experience entirely mechanical, making this CJ-5 a strong example of the simple, durable engineering that defined Willys’ civilian off-roaders of the period.
