Jeep CJ5 The chassis
and drivetrain are year correct and believed to be original. 225 ci
Dauntless (odd fire) V6 T-14 three
speed transmission with the Dana 18 transfer case Handmade
Stainless Steel Body The body is
believed to have been hand fabricated in the Philippines. This type of body
work was relatively common in the Philippines. The details are amazing! My understanding is that a few of these
bodies were imported and fitted to existing Jeeps back in the ‘70’s. It
seems that most all of these were probably scrapped due to the difficulty of
body repair and the attractive value of the scrap stainless. This could be one
of a remaining few and I doubt there are any in better condition. After several
internet searches I have yet to find any other Stainless bodied CJ5’s out
there. There are no dents or any other evidence of any body damage. This would
lead one to believe that this jeep did not see any hard off-roading in its
lifetime. The stainless has a brushed looking finished similar to a DeLorean
but it could be polished to a chrome like finish if desired. Many of the
accessories are also stainless; this includes the bumpers, roll bar, review
mirror, gas tank, dash board, tail gate, trailer hitch, can and tire rack, jerry
cans, etc. I was told by
the previous owner that the transmission has had a recent rebuild but it does
leak, and shifting into second can require a bit of double clutching. This is
not in need of immediate repair but may need attention at some point, parts are
available and inexpensive. The remainder
of the drivetrain and all other systems are working as they should. This jeep
runs and drives well. The odd fire engine runs very strong and has pleasingly
unique sound. Most all wear parts have been replaced, including the clutch,
brake shoes, all hoses and belts. The starter, distributer, Holly two barrel
carburetor, gauges, fuel pump, shocks are new or near new. Other than
the body a few deviations from stock have been made. They include the addition
of power steering, tilt column, Select-O disengaging front hubs, HEI
distributor, Skyjacker soft ride leaf springs, chrome long tube headers, and
late model replacement seats. These and items like the clear shift knobs give
it a very vintage 1970’s Vibe. This vehicle could be brought back to 100% stock
(other than the body!) with very little effort. This is a
rare, and possibly one and only, opportunity to own a truly unique vehicle like this. Clean
California title and registration in my name. I will be
happy to assist with arranging any shipping required. Thank you for
your interest. |

WWII Jeep 'found in crate' set to cross Greenwich auction block
Thu, 30 May 2013Fans of old military vehicles might want to pay extra close attention to the Greenwich Concours d'Elegance coming up this weekend. Crossing the Bonhams auction block on Sunday are a pair of seemingly flawless World War II Jeeps, which are both expected to fetch serious dollars.
Lot Number 305 at the auction is a 1945 Ford GPW Jeep that has been fully restored, which is expected to command between $35,000 and $45,000. Shortly after the Ford GPW, a potentially more interesting 1944 Willys MB (shown above) will be auctioned off, but Hemmings raises some red flags about this Jeep. First, it is claiming to have been "discovered in its original crate about 30 years ago," but there is no proof or documentation of any sort. Also, it is claiming to be all original, but it was given a paint job "shortly after it was discovered." Even with these questionable descriptions, this Willys could reach between $20,000 and $30,000. Head over to Bonhams' site and Hemmings for more information on both WW2-era Jeeps.
Four Wheeler crowns Ultimate Factory 4x4... who wins?
Thu, 15 Nov 2012Nearly every automaker doing business in the SUV or pickup truck segments offers a package designed to improve the off-road capabilities of its wares. But, of course, not all such factory kits are created equal. How, then, to separate the wheat from the chaff? Gather each of them up and put them through their paces, naturally.
The folks from Four Wheeler and PickupTrucks.com joined forces to run just such a comparison test, with the winner named the Ultimate Factory 4x4. A total of seven vehicles showed up to the fight: the 2012 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor, 2013 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, 2012 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X and Xterra PRO-4X, 2012 Ram Power Wagon, and 2012 Toyota 4Runner Trail and Tacoma TRD T|X Baja Series.
With the contestants in place, the whole crew put each vehicle through a battery of tests that included skidpad and acceleration measurements, a hillclimb, a rocky stairstep course and a rock garden. Considering the nature of the beasts, on-road ride and comfort were not part of the routine.
Jeep going bigger with new Grand Wagoneer, smaller with sub-Renegade?
Tue, 11 Mar 2014The headlines are still rolling in for the new Renegade that Jeep unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show last week, but already reports are surfacing, citing sources within the company, about what Chrysler's iconic off-road brand will do next.
Speaking with Auto Express (whose reports we tend to take with a grain of salt or two), Jeep chief Mike Manley suggested that two courses of action are currently under consideration at Auburn Hills to develop two very different new models - one smaller and one larger than anything Jeep currently makes.
One plan would be to make an SUV or crossover even smaller than the new Renegade, although it isn't immediately clear what platform it would take. The Renegade (pictured above in Trailhawk spec) will be built in Italy alongside Fiat's upcoming 500X, but uses a heavily modified platform. We figure the smaller model, if approved, could base itself on the new Fiat Panda Cross.
