1978 Jeep Cj 5 Beautiful! on 2040-cars
Knoxville, Tennessee, United States
This is a jaw-dropping, head-turning 1978 Jeep CJ 5 that recently completed a frame-up restoration. This Jeep looks brand new inside, outside and under the hood. It is a beautiful metallic brown color with black interior. It is structurally, mechanically and aesthetically perfect.
I purchased this Jeep last month on eBay for $17,000 for my wife. I do not think that she will ever drive it as she isn't interested in driving a manual (something that I should have considered ahead of time admittedly) and it has largely sat in my garage except for the occasional Saturday joy ride. Unfortunately, I work a lot and I don't think this Jeep is going to be used like it deserves to be. I can tell you that it gets ALOT of attention when I take it out. The bikini top can be removed and the windshield folded forward for a very unique look. Since I have owned it, I have had steering stabilizers professionally installed on it. I honestly know very little about its history but can tell you confidently that it hasn't been taken off of the road since its restoration was completed earlier this year. It has locking hubs and brand new tires (along with everything else). The fuel gauge and temperature gauge aren't hooked up but I plan to return it to the shop to at least remedy the fuel gauge before it sells. If you have any questions I will be happy to answer them or find an answer or take more pics for you. Buyer is responsible for shipping and a $1000 deposit is due within 48 hours of listing end. The remainder of the balance is due within two weeks and the Jeep and title will be released upon full payment. Thanks for viewing! |

Chrysler to accelerate production of 2013 Ram and V6 engines
Fri, 16 Nov 2012Chrysler is adding a third shift at its Warren Truck plant to meet demand for the new 2013 Ram pickup. And with tight supplies of its Pentastar V6, the company is also boosting output at its Mack Engine plant.
The expansions will add 1,250 jobs and are part of a $238 million investment by Chrysler in the Detroit area. Warren's third shift will begin work sometime in the spring, a Chrysler rep told Automotive News. Mack's increased Pentastar production a could include both 3.6 and 3.2-liter engines.
The company says it also plans to invest $40 million in its Trenton Engine plant to allow for production of a 3.2-liter V6 as well as the Tigershark inline-four for the upcoming Jeep Liberty replacement.
Chrysler recalling 644k more Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs over brakes
Wed, 02 Apr 2014Early last month, we reported on Chrysler issuing a preemptive, proactive recall for about 25,000 units of the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango. The issue revolved around a brake system that wasn't causing any actual problems, but delivered an unsatisfactory brake feel, so Auburn Hills called in a good 25,000 of SUVs around the world, including 18,700 in the United States.
Now Chrysler, having apparently determined that the brake problem on its sport utes is actually much bigger than it initially realized, has drastically broadened the scope of the recall. As a result, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for precisely 655,354 examples of the Grand Cherokee and Durango, covering the 2011 through 2014 model years. In addition, Chrysler is recalling 42,380 units in Canada, 21,376 in Mexico and 159,685 overseas.
The problem which Chrysler found revolves around the brake booster, whose center shell has been found to be subject to corrosion, allowing water to get into the brake system. That water in turn could freeze, preventing the brakes from working as well as expected.
Fiat 500X poised for Paris catwalk
Wed, 05 Feb 2014We've known for some time that the new, Fiat-based baby Jeep (which may or may not be called the Jeepster) is set to arrive at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show. What we weren't sure of was whether its platform mate, the so-called Fiat 500X, would be doing so alongside or at a later date. Well, according to Reuters, we'll get to see the first all-wheel-drive 500 later this year in the City of Lights.
Yes, we can expect the 500X to arrive at the 2014 Paris Motor Show, according to an official with an Italian trade union. The unnamed source cited retooling at Fiat's Melfi factory, in southern Italy, which currently produces the Grande Punto. It's expected that the newest member of the growing 500 family will replace the Suzuki SX4-based Fiat Sedici, although when the X will go on sale remains an open question.
According to Reuters, both the Jeepster and 500X will be built alongside each other in Italy. Whether the 500X will cross the pond with it's slat-grilled cousin, though, remains to be seen (we're leaning towards yes).
