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.

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014
Thu, 27 Feb 2014Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.
Chrysler extending production of current Dodge Avenger, Jeep Wrangler, Grand Caravan
Wed, 24 Jul 2013Are you hesitant to pull the trigger on a brand new Dodge Avenger in hopes that a new one will be coming? Well, don't hold your breath. According to The Detroit News, Chrysler will be extending production of the current Avenger sedan through the end of 2015.
Originally, we heard that the company would kill the Avenger to better focus its midsize sedan efforts on the Chrysler 200 replacement. But then new reports stated there would indeed be an Avenger successor, and that we could see it as early as next January. This Detroit News report cites supplier sources confirming the extension of Avenger production, though Chrysler has not released an official statement on the matter.
These same suppliers say that the current Jeep Wrangler will live on through mid-2018 - that's right, another five years. The Detroit News reports that a replacement for the iconic, go-anywhere Jeep was due in mid-2016.
Chrysler recalls 468,700 Jeep Grand Cherokees, Commanders over rollaway risk
Mon, 13 May 2013Chrysler has issued a recall covering a combined 469,000 units of the 2005-2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee and the 2006-2010 Jeep Commander (inset). Of that number, 295,000 are in the US, roughly 33,000 in Canada and Mexico and the remainder in other markets. It seems an electrical fault in the transfer case can allow the affected SUVs to shift into neutral on their own, while an Associated Press report says that Chrysler had "found cracks in a circuit board that turns the four-wheel-drive system on and off." The issue was discovered when an owner started his car remotely and it rolled away.
Chrysler is expected to begin notifying owners in June 2013, who can then take their cars to dealers. The dealer will reflash the final drive controller free of charge. There's a bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below with more information.
