Rescuing a Legendary 1955 Jeep Barn Find

We picked up a super cool 1955 Willys Jeep CJ5 from Wyoming. This thing has been parked for 51 years, and has been in the same town, family for its whole life. In this video, we're doing a full engine and transmission inspection to uncover why this classic won't run. From a thick, sludgy oil drain to the surprising discovery of a broken connecting rod, we're taking you through every step of this hands-on diagnostic process.

Watch along as we reveal the damage and discuss our plans to either rebuild the existing engine or source a new one to get this iconic machine back on the road. This video is a must-see for mechanics, off-road enthusiasts, and anyone who loves a good heavy equipment restoration project.
