Up for your consideration is my 1971 Jeep CJ5.
This Jeep has been restored to better than original condition. The front half(ffrom the door post forward) is original. The floor is 1/8 inch(!!!) steel, so will not flex or rust thru in our lifetime. The rear fenders and tail are new steel. There is NO rust on this body.
The engine is the original Buick "Dauntless" V6 with unknown miles(its a jeep). Still runs strong and drive it daily in the summer. The transmission is 3 speed,transfer case in one, so it tends to be noisy, but not excessive considering the age. The axles and suspension are original, with the front closed hub 25 with drum brakes. The rear is 44 with drum brakes. Brakes are upgraded to power.
There is a "cold air intake" installed, but I have the original air cleaner assembly. Optima yellow top battery.
The soft top is a newer "Bestop", with split doors and many options for riding. I have a bikini top that adds to the fun.
Interior is clean with nice sports seats. Guages include Autometer tach, oil, and temp. volt,amp, and air pressure guage for the on board air. Fire extiguisher included, as is the Hi-lift jack on the front. Upgraded power steering with tilt wheel.
All of the lights are converted to LED lights, except the headlights, which have the H4 conversion. The Back- up light is mounted into the spare, and is 55 watt.
This Jeep has won an award at a car show, and turns a lot of heads on the summer with the top off. There is a lot of history and love that goes with this Jeep.
Please keep in mind that if you are a larger person or tall, remember that it is an older style CJ5, with comfortable sport seats. If you are larger, you will want to change seats.
Please note that this is for sale locally, so I reserve the right to sell before the reserve is met at auction. once the reserve is met, I will stick with the auction. Thanks for your consideration.

GMC boss wants a Jeep Wrangler rival
Wed, 12 Nov 2014Challengers come and challengers go, but the Jeep Wrangler continues to push forward even after vehicles like the Toyota FJ Cruiser and the entire Hummer brand have been shut down. Now GMC reportedly wants to take a stab at the quintessential Jeep, as well.
The news comes directly from Buick-GMC vice president Duncan Aldred, speaking with our compatriots over at Edmunds. Although Aldred said there are no plans currently on the table to expand GMC's lineup beyond the current range, "there is plenty of room everywhere in the hierarchy."
That could include a rival to the Wrangler, as well as a flagship luxury SUV positioned above the current Yukon Denali (pictured above). Just when (or for that matter, if) such models might come into fruition remains a big question mark, but it's certainly interesting to see what GM's dedicated truck brand has on the drawing board.
2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee pricing leaks out
Thu, 24 Jan 2013With our deep dive and auto show coverage of the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee revealed at the Detroit Auto Show, we brought you as much information as Chrysler would allow us to, but one thing we're still left in the dark about was the pricing. It would seem that Jeep Garage might have the answer for that. The Jeep enthusiast forum claims to have gotten its hands on the ordering and pricing breakdown for the updated Grand Cherokee, and while a Jeep representative has yet to get back to us as to the validity of the site's claim, these preliminary numbers look pretty kosher to us.
In base form, the two-wheel-drive Laredo will reportedly start at $28,795, which is a $1,100 increase over the 2013 model year, and the new Grand Cherokee Summit trim level starts at $47,995 for 4x2 models and $50,995 for the 4x4. Waiting for the new diesel engine? The torquey new 3.0-liter oil-burner will be a $4,500 option on Limited, Overland and Summit 4x4 models, but 4x2 pricing (and availability) are not known. As for the range-topping Grand Cherokee SRT (no longer called the SRT8), this added performance could run you an extra $2,700 with a new starting price of $62,995. More importantly, loaded to the gills with all available options, the 2014 Grand Cherokee SRT will top out at around $72,400 - or around $6,000 more than a fully loaded 2013 GC SRT8.
We'll let you know if the gang over at Jeep get back to us with any confirmation, but until then, head over to Jeep Garage to see the pricing details it has listed.
Jeep lays out 5-year plan, including rebirth of Grand Wagoneer and new C-segment offering
Tue, 06 May 2014Fiat Chrysler CEO Sergio Machionne presented a five-year plan for the company brands this morning, with Jeep first up on a long day of presentation. Jeep's head honcho Michael Manley wasted no time in laying out what the foreseeable future will look like for what he calls the "lead global brand" of the company.
Big goals for the next half-decade will include expanding the lineup from five nameplates built in one country, to six nameplates build in six countries. That expansion of models will include both a three-row competitor, and, of course, a small vehicle to slot below Cherokee. The company is also seeking to add a whopping 1,300 dealers over the next few years, to sell all this new metal, and has an aggressive goal of doubling Jeep sales by the time 2018 rolls around.
As expected, that first salvo from the off-road brand will be the debut of the much ballyhooed Renegade small crossover in the third quarter of this year. Jeep has already designated that Renegade will get refreshed for the 2017 model year, as well.
