1971 Jeep Willys Cj5 Cj Fiberglass Body 4.3 Chevy V6 Muncie 4 Speed Project on 2040-cars
Charleston, West Virginia, United States
You are bidding on a 1971 Jeep CJ5 Project. The trailer shown in the pictures is not included. I purchased this with hopes of completing it as a fun toy. Unfortunately I have lost the storage space that I planned on using and rather than letting it sit I would rather it go to someone that can finish it. Now about the Jeep..... Frame/Chassis: This project is a combination of a number of different parts. The frame appears very solid. A former owner had done a nice job of cleaning and painting it. There are a few spots that need repainted but overall very solid. The original springs were swapped for some newer (and slightly longer) Jeep springs which should give it a better ride. The front end has a shackle reversal which should allow it to handle better. The previous owner also has mounted a Saginaw power steering box. Personally I would trim some of the excess steel away from the mount. I also have a stock cast iron Saginaw box mount that I will include. I purchased the Jeep without a steering column but I include a steering column and wheel from another Jeep that I parted out. You will need to come up with a shaft from the column to the box but those are relatively common and inexpensive. Body: The body tub and fenders are fiberglass. The hood, grille and windshield frame are steel. The tub was made by 4WD Hardware which from what I understand they made good bodies. The steel parts are in good condition and the windshield glass is nice. Although not shown, I purchased a used gas tank that looks to be in good shape. I also have the metal surrounding piece for the tank inlet and a new rubber gasket. I do not have any seats for this project. I have two radiators that I think can be made to work. One is new and the other is an older used radiator from Ford Mustang that looks good. For the most part you will need to wire this Jeep and you will need to purchase a speedometer. Since it came to me without a speedometer I listed the milage at 99,999. Drivetrain: The Jeep was converted to a Chevy V6 (not sure but I believe it to be a 4.3) and Muncie 4 speed conected to a Dana 20 transfercase via a Novak adapter. These adapters typically sell for about $600.00. The motor is locked and does not have a starter, distributor or flywheel. It looks like its purpose was to mock up the mounts and such. My plan was to pick up another running V6 (typically about $300 to $400 around here) or possibly a V8. Since the motor does run I could not test the transmission but it seems to shift nice. In addition to the Model 20 transfercase that is currently attached, I also have another Model 20 transfercase that looks pretty good and since I have no plans for it I will include it in the deal. The Jeep came to me without driveshafts but I have a couple from another Jeep project that might work and I will throw them in. There currently is no exhaust. There is a pedal assembly that came with the Jeep. It is the dual chamber style. I have a brand new mastercylinder that I will include. The rear axle is a 4.27 ratio. I did not pull the front cover but I will assume it has the same ratio. Tires/Wheels: The tires are LT325 BF Goodrich. They are a few years old but I don't think they were driven much if at all. Roll bar / Roll cage: It is not shown but I have a roll bar from another jeep that I will thow in. I also have the front bars to a roll cage that I will include in case you would like to weld them on and make a roll cage. The roll bar and cage parts have some surface rust. They will need cleaned and painted but they are solid. Personally I think this project has a lot of potential and would make a nice ride when finished but keep in mind that it is a project and still requires some work and some parts with the motor being the biggest issue. This is not something that you will have finished in a weekend. I am sure that I have missed something and I would be more than happy to discuss this with you. Please email me through the Ebay "Ask a Question" system or call me via my cell (304-951-7375). A $200 non-refundable deposit is required within 48 hours after the close of the auction. The balance within 2 weeks via cash or certified check. I am happy to store the Jeep for up to 30 days (unless other arrangements are made prior to the end of the auction). Vehicle will not be released and title will not be transferred until full payment has been made. The Jeep is located in Charleston, WV.

Jeep Cherokee finally dealer-bound
Tue, 22 Oct 2013We had our First Drive of the 2014 Jeep Cherokee last month, but it appears that prospective buyers won't have too much longer to finally get time behind the wheel of the new small Jeep.
Automotive News is reporting that after a two-month delay, Jeep dealers will finally start receiving their first shipments of the new Cherokee, in the next 10 days. A Chrysler spokesperson confirmed to Autoblog that the Cherokee is indeed on its way to Jeep dealers.
According to AN, about 23,000 Cherokees have been built since production commenced back in June, but potential powertrain issues forced Jeep to make adjustments to the Cherokee along the way. Automotive News says that in order to make sure there are no issues with the Cherokee before it reaches customers, it is testing each vehicle after it rolls off the assembly line at a rented test track near the vehicle's Toledo North Assembly Plant.
Mopar showcases modified Jeeps in Dubai
Tue, Nov 10 2015Showing that FCA is serious about expanding its global reach, Jeep and Mopar have rolled in to the Dubai Motor Show this year with three modified off-roaders. One is based on the Cherokee, and the other two are wrought from the Wrangler. But it's the Cherokee that's getting the lion's share of attention. The vehicle you see pictured here is called the Jeep Cherokee KrawLer. It's based on the Trailhawk, but adopts some special equipment to set it apart. It packs a modified suspension, BFGoodrich off-road tires, widened fenders, skid plates, a pseudo-military matte green paint job and a matching green leather interior from Pelle Frau. Power comes from the 3.2-liter Pentastar V6 driving 272 horsepower through a nine-speed automatic and locking rear differential to all four wheels. The name KrawLer emphasizes the KL code by which the current Cherokee is known. Alongside the Cherokee KrawLer, Mopar and Jeep are also showcasing a pair of modified Wranglers. One is the Sahara Sun Runner, done up in matte yellow with a four-inch lift kit and half-doors. The Wranger Dark Side, meanwhile, is based on a two-door Rubicon and features giant tires, flat fenders, and an array of other Mopar components. Alongside those, Jeep is showcasing the Renegade for the first time in the Middle East. Meanwhile, Mopar is also demonstrating its enhancements for the Chrysler 200, Dodge Charger R/T, Dodge Challenger Hellcat, Ram Rebel, Fiat 500X, and the new Fullback pickup from Fiat Professional. The Fiat division will also be on hand to show the new Tipo sedan as well. 10 November 2015 The Jeep® Brand at the 2015 Dubai International Motor Show - Premiere for the Middle East of the new Jeep®; Renegade - Three show cars fitted with exclusive Mopar®; accessories: Cherokee KrawLer, Wrangler Sahara Sun Runner and Wrangler Dark Side to star on the stand - Reinforcing the breadth of the Jeep brand, the full current vehicle line-up will be on show at the Middle East's leading automotive event Making its debut for the first time at a leading motor show in the Middle East is the new, recently-introduced Jeep®; Renegade, the compact SUV that boasts the best off-road performance in its segment alongside three Moparised show editions: Cherokee KrawLer, Wrangler Sahara Sun Runner and Wrangler Dark Side.
Daily Driver: Long-Term 2014 Jeep Cherokee
Tue, Mar 10 2015As a fan of the boxy Jeep styling of old, I was disappointed when photos first leaked of Jeep's revived Cherokee in early 2013. Then the midsize crossover arrived in Autoblog's longterm garage in May of 2014 and my opinion did a 180. I was prompted to rethink the exterior design of the vehicle after reading our reviewer's interview with head Jeep designer Mark Allen. "The previous, blocky Cherokee was so aerodynamically inefficient, it would be wrong to do it," Allen told Autoblog's Jonathon Ramsey. That made sense. After all, Jeep is a brand associated with the outdoors, so its only natural that they seek to produce efficient, yet capable vehicles. It was then I began reconsidering the sleek lines of the new Cherokee. What once seemed bland and rounded now appeared streamlined and purpose-built. I also give Jeep credit for the slim headlamp silhouette, which look like no other SUV on the market – a far cry from the distinct circular lamps on Wranglers or squared headlights of past XJs. As I drove our long-term Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk on a few road trips, my affinity for the vehicle's comfortable interior grew as well. The seats held up to a nine-hour trek to Montreal, and the Chrysler Uconnect system made navigating the roads and the radio a breeze. Above you'll hear my early impressions of the Cherokee, and below you'll find a previous long-term update featuring Autoblog's Steven Ewing and Chris McGraw. UPDATE: The video mistakingly indicates that the Jeep Cherokee features LED headlights. The Jeep Cherokee, in fact, has daytime running lamps with LED accent lighting. Related Video:
