I have a 1966 Kaiser Jeep CJ5 that has been restored! I bought this jeep in May of this year from an old man who owned it for 23 years, and HE knew the original owner. It was purchased at Barrington Jeep in downtown Columbus, GA. I has been kept here in Columbus its entire life. It only has 59k original miles! He took VERY good care of it mechanically so there was little to do in regards to that. He only used it as a hunting vehicle so he never did any cosmetic repairs. The day I bought it, I drove it home nearly 25 miles away and started taking it apart. I stripped it down. There was little rust. The biggest areas of rust were below the doors (the usual places). The floors were solid. After I stripped it I sent it to the paint shop. They cut out the rust areas and welded in new pieces. They stripped it to bare metal and applied a basecoat/clearcoat paint job to the original factory color. . .Spruce Tip Green! It looks AMAZING! This is a VERY NICE driver quality paint job. While it was in the paint shop I started refurbishing any old parts that could be saved and ordered new parts for the one's that couldn't be. After getting it back, I installed all the new parts, took the exterior components of the engine apart and painted or replaced what needed to be. As you can see, it looks GREAT! I even put on new original style decals on the valve covers.
This Jeep came from the factory with the super tough Buick Dauntless V-6 engine. It runs great and has plenty of power. You can't imagine how powerful this thing is! The engine does not smoke and is in great condition. The 3 speed transmission shifts great and the clutch is strong. All the lights and gauges work and so does the heater. I can't list all the items that were replaced because it would just take too long. Make no mistake, this Jeep is NICE! I had the floor sprayed with bedliner and it looks great too! I put this Jeep back to original as closely as I could! I even stenciled the original "4 Wheel Drive" emblem on the tailgate just like from the factory.
The 4 wheel drive works great and shifts in and out of gear smoothly and with ease.
I have a ton of pictures from the day I bought it, all through the restoration process and of course the finished product. Pictures do not do this Jeep justice though! I have included 2 pictures of what it looked like the day I bought it. Most of what you see is surface rust. The frame is in great condition and does not have any rot or decay. Its rock solid!
I do have the original metal hardtop and doors that will go with it. They have not been restored yet, but just need to be stripped down, prepped and painted. All Glass is good!
The 4 tires on the Jeep are in great condition and have plenty of tread. I would say they have at least 85% left and have no signs of dry rot. They ride smooth with no shake or bounce
I've driven this JEEP to work 20 miles away several times lately and it drives GREAT! I easily go 65-70 mph and it holds the road great. No play in the steering and it doesn't bounce you all over the place. It drives much nicer and handles much better than you can imagine! I have probably put about 300 miles on it since the restoration and would feel comfortable driving it just about anywhere.
Please feel free to call me at 706-325-4360 if you have any questions. I reserve the right to end the auction early unless the reserve has been met, as I do have it for sale locally

EPA posts 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited fuel economy
Sun, Nov 5 2017When Jeep loosed a trio of 2018 Wrangler photos in October, Jeep cognoscenti parried over details like radio antenna placement and painted tailgate hinges, while every other viewer merely noted, "It's still a Wrangler." Now that the Environmental Protection Agency's listed fuel economy ratings for the 2018 Wrangler Unlimited with the 3.6-liter V6, Jeep savants will again parry over details. Every other viewer will merely note, "It's still got Wrangler gas mileage." According to the EPA, the current Wrangler Unlimited with the 3.6-liter V6 and six-speed manual clocks 16 miles per gallon in the city, 21 on the highway, and 18 combined. The 2018 version with the same six-speed manual comes in at 17/23/19. Switching transmissions, the current model with the five-speed automatic hooks up 16/20/18, the 2018 model with an eight-speed automatic does 18/23/20. Those numbers might not jump off the page, yet according to the EPA's cost calculator, you'll save $250 per year on gas with the eight-speed auto 2018 Wrangler Unlimited, $150 per year with the coming six-speed manual. The eight-speed auto option also exceeds Chrysler's prediction from 2014 of a nine-percent improvement in fuel economy over the five-speed auto. Now we wait for numbers on the dark horse four-cylinder, which we'd expect to best the sixer's numbers, unless the rumors are true and the four-pot really is packing every wild horse it can handle. In that case, we'll turn to the EcoDiesel for frugal kicks. If we don't find out beforehand, we can expect those goodies and more at the LA Auto Show in December.

Dodge muscle cars, armored Jeep to star in Furious 7 [w/video]
Wed, Mar 11 2015We're less than a month away from the smorgasbord of speed, stunts and shooting that is Furious 7, and it arrives in theaters on April 3 as one of the first big films of the year. Starring Fast and Furious regulars Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, plus Jason Statham as the big villain, this entry looks to be another exciting addition to the franchise. With such a major movie that features cars as much as the actors, it shouldn't be a surprise that an automaker is getting in on the action as a promotional partner. FCA US supplied nearly 30 vehicles for the film, including prominent roles for a 2015 Dodge Charger, Challenger R/T and armored Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. To really play up the connection, the automaker has laid out a global advertising campaign featuring its models. The marketing includes a variety of unique spots with the cars appearing online and in music videos. Among them in the US is a TV ad called Flash to the Future (embedded below) for the Challenger. Hopefully, Furious 7 can live up to all its pre-release hype. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
