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

Carb Transmission Serviced with new fluid & Filter Radiator Flushed and fresh fill The GOOD: This Jeep really looks sharp It has a slick paint job that from 5 feet looks perfect It starts runs and shifts like it should The four wheel drive works perfectly in high and low
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 |

2015 Ford F-150 named Truck of Texas, Lincoln and Jeep also awarded at Truck Rodeo
Tue, 14 Oct 2014The Ford Motor Company has a lot of reasons to celebrate after winning eight categories in this year's Texas Auto Writers Association's annual Truck Rodeo. Most important among them, the Blue Oval's latest 2015 Ford F-150 earned the prestigious Truck of Texas award, ending the Ram 1500's two-year winning streak. The 2015 Lincoln MKC also grabbed the honor as the CUV of Texas, and Ford was named Truck Line of Texas.
FoMoCo even took trophies for best technology with its extensive use of aluminum on its latest F-Series and best commercial vehicle for the new Transit 250. It wasn't a total sweep, though, because the Jeep Grand Cherokee grabbed the title of the SUV of Texas for the fifth straight time.
This year's event put 60 auto writers in 75 pickups, SUVs and crossovers and challenged them to find the best in a plethora of categories. All of the winners are listed below, and scroll down to read the full announcements from the Texas Auto Writers Association and Ford.
Jeep leads list of 25 most patriotic brands
Thu, 04 Jul 2013It's not unusual to feel extra patriotic this time of year, what with the Fourth of July being today and all. As if to celebrate, New York-based research firm Brand Keys conducted a study among 4,500 consumers about what brands they find to be the most patriotic. According to the Detroit Free Press, Jeep took top honors in this study, besting other American stalwart brands including Coca-Cola, Levi's and Hershey's.
Interestingly, the only other automotive brand to make the list was Ford, in the 16th spot (motorcycle fans take note - Harley-Davidson claimed the No. 13 slot). This means consumers found Jeep to be more patriotic than any of the brands in the General Motors portfolio, including Chevrolet, which has long used American themes in its advertising over the decades.
According to Brand Keys, Jeep came in "with a score of 98 out of 100 on a scale representing consumers' emotional engagement expectations," the Detroit Free Press reports. Be sure to read the report to scan the entire Top 25 list for yourself.
Jeep Cherokee faces on-sale delay
Sat, 23 Mar 2013A report in The Wall Street Journal looks at some of the obstacles to the 2014 Jeep Cherokee that go beyond its mootable yet "very contemporary" looks, almost all of them based on Fiat's financial position. Starting with that sheetmetal, in defense of it SRT president Ralph Gilles and Jeep design head Mark Allen said they wanted to "make sure the design still looks modern five years from now."
The WSJ piece doesn't cite longevity as a factor, instead saying that its features originated in a design for an Alfa Romeo, the transformation into a Jeep design meant allowing Chrysler get it to market more quickly and save "hundreds of millions of dollars" in engineering.
The need for Fiat to save money while it weathers the European situation has cut budgets for development, engineering and the pace of retooling the Toledo, Ohio plant to build the Cherokee. In a familiar case of snowballing at work, among the effects will be pushing back the Cherokee's volume sales date and delaying updates to some of Chrysler's other products.
