1970 Cj5 4x4 Fiberglass Body With Plow No Reserve on 2040-cars

Year:1970 Mileage:0
Location:

Niles, Michigan, United States

No Reserve- highest bid gets it!  This is a very good CJ5 that I use strictly for plowing.  It has a rebuilt F-134 4-cylinder engine, although I have no idea when it was rebuilt or how many miles or hours are on it.  It runs very strong, but does burn some oil.  It starts every time and runs very well.  It has a rebuilt carburetor, new fuel pump, new battery, new plugs, new wires, new cap, new coil, and has been converted to electronic ignition.  The lights work, and so does the heater… although no top or doors are included.  I only used it for plowing, and have never driven it on the road.  It would need some work to be road worthy, so plan on trailering it home.  The brakes could use some attention, and  the transmission may have a syncro out or something because it only goes into first and reverse gears.  I haven’t looked into it because I didn’t need 2nd or 3rd gears anyway.  I do have another transmission that will go with the Jeep, however I know nothing about the condition of it.  The 4-wheel drive works and I have brand new Mile Marker hubs for it, only one set is installed.  The other lockout on it is the original Warn and still works just fine.  The tires are newer Bridgestone Blizzak’s and show virtually no wear.  The plow is a Western 6’-6” I believe, and has the cylinders for angling it however they are not hooked up.  You have to manually angle the plow right now, but they could be made to work.  I have some hardware for that.  The up and down cylinder works as it should.  The body is fiberglass, except for the steel hood and windshield frame.   The CJ is pretty in its own way, and gets a lot of attention from the plow guys with newer trucks.   Please ask any questions before bidding.  If you’re local, I encourage you to come take a look at it.  It’s a plow vehicle and it would need “A LOT” of work to restore it.  Clear Michigan title in my name.

Jeep Cherokee faces on-sale delay

Sat, 23 Mar 2013

A report in The Wall Street Journal looks at some of the obstacles to the 2014 Jeep Cherokee that go beyond its mootable yet "very contemporary" looks, almost all of them based on Fiat's financial position. Starting with that sheetmetal, in defense of it SRT president Ralph Gilles and Jeep design head Mark Allen said they wanted to "make sure the design still looks modern five years from now."
The WSJ piece doesn't cite longevity as a factor, instead saying that its features originated in a design for an Alfa Romeo, the transformation into a Jeep design meant allowing Chrysler get it to market more quickly and save "hundreds of millions of dollars" in engineering.
The need for Fiat to save money while it weathers the European situation has cut budgets for development, engineering and the pace of retooling the Toledo, Ohio plant to build the Cherokee. In a familiar case of snowballing at work, among the effects will be pushing back the Cherokee's volume sales date and delaying updates to some of Chrysler's other products.

Jeep Wrangler likely to get aluminum body, will stay in Toledo

Mon, 27 Oct 2014

Perhaps more than any other vehicle currently for sale in the United States, the Jeep Wrangler is viewed by purist fans as a vehicle that simply must maintain the status quo. In this case, that means a body-on-frame design, solid axles, a relatively large engine sitting up front and a removable top. It's always been that way, and it always will be.
Maybe.
According to the most recent reports, the next-generation Jeep will continue to soldier forth with a full steel chassis underneath its stamped bodywork. The biggest change, reports Automotive News, will be that said panels will be hewn from aluminum instead of steel, a seismic shift of a transition not unlike what's happened with the new Ford F-150. Because it won't be a unibody, the SUV will likely continue to be assembled in Toledo, OH as it (almost) always has been - the latter has been a source of heartburn in recent weeks for the Northwestern city in the Buckeye State.

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky

Fri, 24 Aug 2012

It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
