She’s got the LOOK!
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! Features: 15 x 10 Eagle Alloys Mickey Thompson 33 x 12.50 Baja Claw Tires (less than

range Disc brakes front and Drum rear stop the Jeep straight
and safely 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 windshield wipers work in both high and low speeds 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. 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. Mark |

Here's why you shouldn't try to drift a Jeep Cherokee
Tue, Nov 25 2014This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. There are many reasons why an XJ-generation (or really any other) Jeep Cherokee doesn't make for a good drift machine. It's tall, it's four-wheel-drive... it's a Jeep, okay? But someone apparently forgot to tell that to this guy. Uploaded to LiveLeak, this video shows some poor schmuck who took his Cherokee to a (mostly) empty parking lot and tried to drift it. Needless to say, things didn't go quite as he planned, but they probably went exactly as you might have expected. Thankfully, nobody appears to have been hurt. Or at least, we assume so, since the guy apparently survived to put the video up online.
2015 Jeep Renegade brings the cute
Tue, 04 Mar 2014The jig is up, the noose is out, we finally found it: the Renegade that Jeep has made, retrieved for a bounty.
Okay, enough of that. Meet the Renegade - Jeep's cute little compact crossover that makes its official debut here at the Geneva Motor Show. We recently brought you a massive Deep Dive into what makes the Renegade tick, and we're now getting our first live look at the tiny Jeep, live from its coming out party in Switzerland.
With the exception of associate editor Jonathon Ramsey, who doesn't know what he's talking about, we at Autoblog are kind of smitten with the little Jeep - it's a really unique package, featuring details that really make it kind of special (notice that jerry can pattern in the taillights, for example). Jeep will offer the Renegade with either a 1.4-liter turbo-four (from the Fiat 500L) or a 2.4-liter naturally aspirated four (from the Dodge Dart), with either a six-speed manual transmission or a nine-speed automatic. There will even be a Trailhawk version with four-wheel drive - properly trail-rated, to boot. The Renegade also features a nifty new My Sky removable roof panel system, giving this little cutie sort of a baby Wrangler feel.
Stellantis tells UK: Change Brexit deal or watch car plants close
Wed, May 17 2023LONDON - British car plants will close with the loss of thousands of jobs unless the Brexit deal is swiftly renegotiated, Stellantis has told the UK parliament, the latest in a series of warnings from the industry since the country left the European Union. The world's No. 3 carmaker by sales and owner of 14 brands including Vauxhall, Peugeot, Citroen and Fiat said that under the current deal it would face tariffs when exporting electric vans to Europe from next year, when tougher post-Brexit rules come into force. "If the cost of EV (electric vehicle) manufacturing in the UK becomes uncompetitive and unsustainable, operations will close," Stellantis said in a submission to a House of Commons committee examining the prospects for Britain's EV industry. Stellantis urged the government to reach an agreement with the European Union about extending the current rules on the sourcing of parts until 2027 instead of the planned 2024 change. In response, a government spokesperson said the business secretary had raised the issue with the EU. "Watch this space, because we are very focused on making sure that the UK gets EV and manufacturing capacity," Britain's finance minister Jeremy Hunt said on Wednesday at a British Chambers of Commerce event. The potentially existential problem facing Britain's car industry is closely tied to the shift to EVs. Under the trade deal agreed when Britain left the bloc, 45% of the value of an EV being sold in the European Union must come from Britain or the EU from 2024 to avoid tariffs. The problem is that a battery pack can account for up to half a new EV's cost. Batteries are also heavy and expensive to move long distances. Experts have been warning since Britain left the EU at the end of 2020 that the country would need a number of EV battery gigafactories or potentially lose a hefty chunk of its car industry. Only Japan's Nissan has a small EV battery plant in Sunderland, with a second one on the way. Cost of failure Britishvolt, a startup which received UK government support for an ambitious 3.8 billion pound ($4.80 billion) battery plant at a site in northern England, filed for administration in January after struggling to raise funds. The company was then bought by Australia's Recharge Industries, which has yet to unveil plans for the site.
