1980 Cj-5 on 2040-cars
Vail, Colorado, United States
|
1980 Jeep CJ-5 - 6 cylinder - 4x4- soft top - soft doors - 33 in tires with lift. I purchased this Jeep on Ebay in 2006 with the intent of off roading and rock climbing. Before I could do any of that my wife and I had our first child. So it is has been on asphalt ever since. Occasionally driven with the top off in the summer. I realize I will never get to use it the way I wanted to so I am selling it. The engine is not original and it has what I estimate to be 140,000 miles on it. The odometer is not accurate. The person I bought it from used it as a rock climber and it has the suspension set up for that. It has a custom roll cage. It runs very well. I recently had a new starter put in. It is a great Jeep that could be driven as is or improved upon. Things that I know are wrong with it: There is a small exhaust leak that I was told by the mechanic has been rpaired as well as it can be. It will soon be time to redo the suspension and shocks if you intend to make this a true off road monster. There is no radio ( I will include the one I purchased - still in the box). The framing for the soft top has some pieces that should be replaced (I have included those replacement pieces). There is some typical rust for a 34 year old vehicle. There is a crack in the rear right brake light casing. There is a tear in the rubber casing around the gear shift. The windshield wiper switch is tricky and should be replaced.
Extras included: Bikini top Jack Stereo (in box) Replacement soft top framing
I will answer any additional questions as best I can. When I picked this Jeep up in 2006, I drove it from Albequerque, NM to Vail, CO. It can be driven that far but I would suggest you pull it or trailer it if you are going to go that far. I will require a Paypal deposit of $1,000.00 within 48 hours of the end of the auction. |

Chrysler recalling 31k SUVs and vans
Fri, 06 Jun 2014Chrysler is issuing recalls covering roughly 31,700 vehicles worldwide due to two separate problems. In both cases the company believes that most of the affected vehicles are either still on, or in transit to, dealer lots.
One recall covers roughly 10,700 Dodge Durango, Jeep Cherokee, Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee SRT models from the 2014 model year built between January 16 and April 17, 2014. The SUVs need a software update for the cruise control. It's possible that when the cruise is on and the driver presses on the throttle, the acceleration could last a second after the pedal is released or two seconds for the SRT. Afterward, they return to the speed originally set by the driver.
Chrysler says it isn't aware of any accidents, injuries or even reported incidents of this happening in the real world. Also, in all cases, if the driver presses on the brake, the cruise shuts off. The automaker believes that there are about 6,100 affected SUVs in the US, 950 in Canada, 425 in Mexico and 3,200 outside of North America. The software upgrade will be ready shortly, the company says.
Jurassic Park made a big impact on these Jeep drivers
Thu, 12 Jun 2014For a certain cohort of young folks, Jurassic Park is a touchstone film from their childhood. Not only did it play into practically every little boy's love of dinosaurs, the movie included some great action scenes and special effects that still hold up today. In its latest video, The Aficionauto takes a look the Jurassic Park Motor Pool, a California car club with over 40 fans who created replica vehicles from the iconic film.
The club is made up of an interesting cross-section of people. Many of them were Jeep Wrangler fans that already loved off-roading and Jurassic Park, and liked the idea of bringing them together. Like any close-knit club, it ends up being about community and people coming together to share their interests. It's quite a heartwarming video. Also, be sure to stay until the end because The Aficionauto teases a future Jurassic Park-themed vehicle. Scroll down to check out the motor pool.
First Jeepster prototype spotted with final, boxy form
Thu, 23 Jan 2014The long-awaited baby Jeep is getting closer to production, as evidenced by these spy photos. Previously, the only images of the so-called Jeepster saw it wearing a Fiat 500L body (see below), while this new batch of photos show hefty amounts of camouflage. How is that better? Well, it's very likely there's a production body hiding under all that cladding.
While picking out styling details is virtually impossible thanks to all the camo, as our spies point out, this gives us a very sound idea of the Jeepster's final size. It's small, although we'd argue that it's only slightly smaller than the current Jeep Patriot, based on the images of the newest Jeep sitting in front of an Alfa Romeo Giulietta.
As we reported previously, this little bambino will be built on a Fiat platform, but the styling should be uniquely Jeep - likely to include a somewhat vertical seven-slat grille and round headlights. We can expect to see a production Jeepster, if that ends up being the actual name (Latitude has been rumored, although as that's traditionally a trim level, we imagine there'd be some confusion), when it debuts at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show.
