1960 CJ-5 'WESTCLIFFE' - WILL IT RUN AFTER DECADES AS YARD ART [Ep. 1]

Описание: Welcome back to Hacking Patina

We are heading up to the high country for this one. Meet "Westcliffe"—a 1960 CJ-5 that spent decades serving as literal yard art. Most people saw a abandoned, rusty lawn ornament; I saw a challenge.

Here is the start of the revival:

The "Westcliffe" (1960 Willys CJ-5)
This isn't just a barn find; it's a high-desert survivor. Dragged out of Westcliffe, Colorado, this rig has been sun-baked, weathered, and sitting silent for decades.

The Condition: She is rough. We are talking about a vehicle that has likely been home to generations of critters and hasn't turned a wheel in years.

The Mission: As always, no frame-off restoration here. We aren't looking for shiny paint. We are looking for a heartbeat.

The Revival: In Episode 1, we are cracking open the hood, dealing with the ancient wiring, and checking the essentials: air, fuel, and spark.

The Big Question: Can a piece of yard art actually drive again? We are going to find out if we can wake the dead.
