1981 Jeep CJ5 LAREDO

This Jeep CJ5 is a beautiful original classic gets a lot of comments everywhere I go to.   I got it from one of my brothers medical colleagues who purchased it from his mother 12 years ago.  He rarely drove it and it sat on his ranch in his barn for years (he drove it less then 2k miles total).  Last week, I drove it to Denver 2x, once to Central City and to the mountains yesterday to take photos of it for this auction.  I had 3 people comment on it yesterday when I pulled up into Starbucks.  The Jeep starts right up, drives smooth and doesn't have any vibrations, shimmy or problems keeping up with traffic in town, on the highway or in the mountains.


Engine:
258 4.2L 6cylinder motor that runs great, is very peppy and runs great.  Overall the motor runs great, I don't notice any leaks on the ground after driving and it does not smoke.  The Valve cover gasket has the classic leak and will need to be replaced sometime.

Transmission/Transfer Case:
4spd T176 Manual Transmission that shifts perfect, no play in the transmission and no grinding or crunching.  The Clutch is very tight, responsive and does not slip.  The transfer case shifts easily in and out of 4x4.  It is a Dana 300. 

Drivetrain/suspension:
The Jeep drives excellent and has that soft tight stock suspension.  There aren't any loud clunks or noises, it is very smooth.  The drivetrain and suspension are completely stock.  The power steering is super sensitive and the brakes stop the jeep easily. 

Interior Controls/Switches:
Everything in the interior works including the gauges, speedometer, odometer, wipers and blinkers.  The horn, cig lighter and heater do not work(I will check the fuses) the radio powers up but there is no sound.  The Tilt Steering makes it easier to get in and out.

Paint/Body/Rust:
The paint is Copper Brown Metallic with Laredo Striping.  It is original paint that looks great and super reflective, shows a lot of luster and is shiny.  The front drivers fender was replaced along with the windshield frame at one point.  The front clip fenders have sand chips.  The body has 2 small areas of rust in the rear of the tub, a bit of surface rust on the side of the passenger front fender and on the interior under the drivers retractable seat belt(it is thru under it).  Overall very clean, view photos and ask a question to see more pictures from photobucket.com, I have approx 100 more photos to share.

Interior:
The interior is beautiful, the nutmeg seats are in great condition along with the carpets.  The seats are clean and only the drivers seat has seem separations.  The seats are discolored a bit from sitting in the sun and so are the tops of the rear wheel well carpets but overall the seats, dash and interior is in great condition.  The passenger visor is broken.  The interior paint is in excellent condition.  The dash pad is solid except on the corners (view photos).  Beautiful color combination.

Bestop Soft top and Doors:
The nutmeg bestop soft top is in great condition with clear windows and no significant rips or tears.  There looks to be a couple spots that were repaired but overall the top and doors are in excellent shape.  All zippers work with ease and the top seals to prevent leakage in the elements.

Tires/Wheels:
This are the original 15x8 Chrome Jeep wagon wheels with Center Caps.  The Chrome is original and the clear coat has never been removed on them.  The spare wheel does show some clear coat peeling in places however the other 4 do not.  The spare tire looks to be original and is dry rotting on the side wall.  The tires have a couple years life remaining on them, I'd say 65-70% left.

Additional Photos:
Ask a questions and I will provide a link to view more photos of the Jeep at photobucket.  eBay will no longer allow seller to post a clickable links on our auctions.

Overall:
This is a beautiful and Rare CJ5 Laredo Jeep in Copper.  It is ready to go and will make a great daily driver, weekend warrior, summer adventurer or an addition to your collection.  The CJ5 is used and 33 years old, so it may have blemishes I didn't capture on my camera or missed.  I do my best to illustrate the condition, I may have missed something so be sure to ask all questions you have prior to bidding or winning the Jeep.  The Jeep is being sold as is, where is, without warranty or guarantees.  I am not required for your state emission or safety inspections including Colorado.

Shipping:
If you are out of state and need to have this Jeep shipped, call M&E Auto Transport #606-354-3643.  Michael is great to work with and offers competitive pricing, quick pickup and delivery.  He has helped me on a couple cars I have bought as well as sold and shipped.

Conclusion:
A $500 non refundable deposit is due within 24 hours of the conclusion of the auction via paypal.  All sales are final.  The final payment must be received within 7 days of auction end time.  Payment options include cash upon pickup, Electronic Bank Transfer or Wire Transfer.  I have sold multiple cars on ebay and can provide references if necessary.  I reserve the right to remove the auction at anytime as this Jeep is listed for sale locally as well.

Jeep's Wrangler Hellcat and six other sweet concepts for Moab

Thu, Mar 10 2016

Jeep. Wrangler. Hellcat. You read that correctly. And while it's just a concept for this year's Moab Easter Jeep Safari, it has us dreaming about blasting through the desert at 200 miles per hour. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles released a whole slew of Easter Jeep concepts at an event at the company's Auburn Hills, MI, headquarters today. The 50th annual Moab Safari will take place in just a couple of weeks – it's a sort of mecca for Jeep owners, and for the past few years, FCA brings its concepts out to the rocks and trails of Moab to prove that these are more than mere one-off, delicate showcars. Our own Brandon Turkus was live at FCA's reveal event, and he passed along a bunch of notes, in addition to the official stuff from Jeep. Here are some details about each concept, with full photo galleries and videos of each Jeep creation.

FCA design chief Ralph Gilles uses Jeep to help couple in fiery wreck

Mon, Feb 26 2018

Fiat Chrysler's head of design Ralph Gilles recently rendered assistance at a fiery crash scene that left one dead. Gilles helped two people trapped inside a vehicle following a pair of collisions that left them pressed up against a burning vehicle. He used his Jeep Wrangler to nudge a Ford Edge engulfed in flames across the road. The 57-year-old female passenger who was trapped inside the other car was later pronounced dead at a local hospital. The first crash happened early Sunday, Feb. 18, in a rural area north of Detroit when a 2013 Ford Fiesta carrying the woman and her husband collided head-on with a 2013 Ford Edge that had crossed the center line. The driver of that vehicle sustained minor injuries; police said alcohol is believed to have played a role. Gilles was driving home with his wife, Doris, when they came upon the accident, stopped and called 911. He told the Oxford Leader he and the driver of the Edge tried to help the couple in the Fiesta, but none of the doors would open. After Gilles went to move his Wrangler out of the way, he saw a Buick LeSabre broadside the already-crippled Fiesta and push it up against the Edge, which then caught fire. With the couple still trapped inside the Fiesta, Gilles got the idea to put the Wrangler into four-wheel drive and push the Edge to the opposite shoulder using his Jeep.

"The only thing I can remember thinking (is) I've got a Jeep, it's got a bumper on it, I think I can do this. All I could think about were the two people still inside the other car." Firefighters were later able to extract the couple from the Fiesta and transport them to a hospital. The woman was then airlifted to a second hospital, where she was pronounced dead. Her husband was listed in stable condition. Gilles posted a short video of the burning vehicle on Instagram and wrote that he was "NOT a hero." "It made us appreciate the true heroes. The first responders, Firemen/women, EMS and Police who deal with this stuff every day," he wrote. Image Credit: Ralph Gilles / Instagram Jeep fire
