    buyer's market . far from stock , list it for what you think it's worth . but it comes down to what ever they are willing to pay . as they say location location location . spend a few bucks and have it appraised

    In France, the CJ5 are not well appreciated, in comparison with the standard WWII Jeep. It is maybe half price or less!
    The D DAY look is over-evaluated, but it is like this.
    Maybe it is the same in USA?

    I will take a shot at it. I watch Craigslist several times a day and try to really stay on top of what sells quickly against the listing that goes on for weeks or months unsold. Out here the fiberglass tub most times drops the value quite a bit. Back in rust land it may be a necessary evil though. Everything depends on your timeline of not needing the money versus wanting to sell it today to pay bills. Here I could get $2800 for that today and might be able to push it to $3800 if some patience was spread over a couple weeks. When selling Jeeps these days, other then the super rare totally stock original or quality restoration, it is all about the add-ons. Tires, new tops, winches, overdrives and axle lockers are what drives the sales price. Things change over time as to what is in demand and your experience may vary depending on availability in your area.
