Selling my wife’s 1979 Jeep CJ5 Custom Resale RED “Hot Rod”!

 

Yeah you heard me right my wife’s Jeep. A couple of years ago she wanted a toy to ride around town in and take to the local car shows and monthly cruise in. Well she found this Jeep and fell in love with it. It is COOL, FAST, LOUD, DEPENDABLE, FUN and gets attention everywhere you go.

This Jeep underwent a full frame off restoration. Then later the owner at that time had an awesome

Chevy 350 V8 built and installed. The professional engine builder estimates the horsepower at 350 HP

It is mated up to a GM TH350 automatic transmission attached with Advance Adapters to the stock Dana 20 transfer case with custom drive shafts running to a stock front end and to a fully custom Ford 9 inch rear end. The rear was narrowed and features Lock-Right Powertrax Automatic Positive locking Differential. The front axle sports Pro-Comp hubs. Controlling the TH350 is a B & M bump shifter with reverse lock out. If you want to leave a red light FAST this Jeep will make it happen with slight pressure on the right foot!

The GOOD:

The interior is clean and nice

It sounds GREAT! You will wake your neighbors

The winch has never been used and works as new w/ remote

Passes North Carolina inspection

All lights work – Headlights both low & high, brakes, running and turn signals

All gauges work perfectly

Indicator lights for high beam and turn signals all work

The Bad:

 

The paint is not 100% perfect. Hey it is a Jeep right?

There are a few very small chips on the front edge of the front fenders

There are two paint chips on the driver’s side entry area hidden with the doors on

There are two small dings on the hood (no chips) that do not show in the pictures

There is one very small ding on the top of the driver’s side front fender

There are some small blisters in the paint on the cowl behind the hood in front of the windshield

There is a very small oil leak around the transmission oil pan

It has a new horn but it needs a new horn switch in the steering column. It works if the wheel is turned just right.

The indicator light for the four wheel drive is not hooked up

There is not a park brake put it is an automatic so no big deal

The glove box is fake and only a chrome door cover for looks

 

True miles on this Jeep are unknown. The Jeep shows 22K miles since the frame off restoration and build.

 

Sold As Is - NO WARRANTY 

 

You also get a folder almost two inches thick of receipts, engine specs and owner’s manuals for the winch and carburetor.

We have owned three CJ’s and two Wranglers and have never had one this cool and so well done. With a short wheelbase, lifted, oversize tires and twice the stock horsepower this Jeep deserves respect. Having driven it now a couple of years I find it very easy and fun to drive. We call it our Go Cart! I ran it down I-40 two weeks ago for five miles both ways and kept up with all traffic easy in a 70 MPH speed zone and it tracked and handled GREAT. I added 3 degree shims under the front axle last year and it improved the steering considerably but on grooved two lane country roads it will wonder. On good smooth roads and highways she drives straight & easy.

 

The total investment to date on this Jeep exceeds $18,000.00. I have the reserve set a few thousand under that number. This Jeep is for sale locally for $16,500.00 and I reserve the option to end this auction immediately if the Jeep sells.

This is a very nice Jeep and I’m sure I have missed listing some of the options.

Clear North Carolina title in hand in my wife’s name.

 

Terms:

I require a $500.00 deposit via PayPal by the winning bidder within 24 hours. Full Payment and pick up within 7 days of close of auction.

Buyer responsible for pick up or transportation.

I welcome any questions. Please feel free to contact me on my cell at 336-480-7851.

Thank you for looking and happy bidding.

2014 Jeep Cherokee flaunts its new contemporary curves

Wed, 27 Mar 2013


Only slightly more than one month ago, undisguised (and less-than-flattering) shots of the all-new 2014 Jeep Cherokee were leaked online. Later that day, in an effort to suppress the uprising, Jeep countered with its own official photography offering us much clearer front and three-quarter views. We've been left to digest those pictures for weeks.
Now, mere hours before the fabric comes sliding off its newest mid-size sport-utility at its live reveal at the New York Auto Show, Jeep has released dozens of new images showing all four corners, plus a few interior shots, of its new Cherokee.

Chrysler earns $1.7B in 2012, revises product plans for US

Wed, 30 Jan 2013

Hot on the heels of Ford's earnings announcement for the year that was, Chrysler today reported a 2012 net income of $1.7 billion, up substantially from the comparatively minuscule $183 million profit earned in 2011 when it repaid its US government loans.
Chrysler's good year ended with an excellent fourth quarter that saw net income rise 68 percent from $225 million in 2011 to $378 million. Where are all those extra earnings coming from? Market share, which Chrysler saw increase to 11.4% last year on sales of 1.65 million vehicles. In fact, the Auburn Hills, MI-based automaker out-paced the industry's market growth of 13 percent last year with sales up 21 percent for the year.
The company also revealed an updated product plan for its Chrysler Group and Fiat brands that looks all the way out to 2016. It's an updated version of the plan introduced in 2009 shortly after Fiat took control of the American automaker, and includes such new additions as an Alfa Romeo model, likely the 4C, to be introduced in the US this year, as well five more Alfa models by 2016. Likewise, Fiat will be growing by an additional seven models in the coming few years.

Jeep Wrangler gets the wide-track treatment

Mon, 07 Jan 2013

When we read the tip about a Gulf-state diplomat in Rabat, Morocco who had supposedly "merged two Jeep Wranglers," we figured the two off-roaders were somehow linked front-to-back. Oh no. As you can see in the image above, taken from video of that vehicle actually traveling down the road and needing more than one lane to do it, the two Jeeps were put together side-by-side.
The seriously widebody truck is said to have six wheels, one at each corner and two in the middle. That's about all anyone seems to know about it at the moment, and that's probably enough - in these situations you know better than to ask why, just watch the video below.
