Jeep CJ5 1979 for Parts 

This auction is for a 1979 Jeep CJ5 for parts or possibly restoration. This was my daily driver for a few years until I parked it about 10 or 12 years ago. It’s sat since then.

During the time that I drove it, I rebuilt the clutch, did a valve job then put in a rebuilt engine. It has the AMC 258 c.i. (4.2 L) straight six engine. It has a stock T150 three-speed transmission and I never had any problems with it, the transfer case, diffs or axles. The disclaimer is that it has sat untouched for 10 or 12 years. I can’t guarantee what kind of shape anything is in now.

I parked it because I always had trouble getting it to pass emissions testing. A mechanic told me that it needed a new carburetor and catalytic converter. I removed the carb and exhaust system past the manifold, and then stopped working on it.

Like most old CJs, this one has some rust including a small hole in the driver’s side floor. The carburetor and the exhaust are long gone and not part of this auction. The power steering and smog pumps are disconnected. I believe that the pumps are there, but I’m not sure about all the brackets. It has a shackle lift kit, the seats and seat brackets are junk and the top is gone. The tires are dry rotted, but they currently hold air.

It will need to be towed, preferably on a rollback tow truck. I will not ship it or arrange shipping.

If you have any questions, please ask, but don’t wait until the last moment.

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.

China orders Jeep to investigate Wrangler fire risk

Mon, 06 Jan 2014

It's been some time since we've heard anything about fires related to the Jeep Wrangler (foreign or domestic), but it sounds like the go-anywhere SUV could be in hot water once again in China. Bloomberg is reporting that the Chinese government is ordering Jeep to investigate the matter and, in the meantime, also recommending Wrangler owners to not drive their vehicles in "extreme conditions" due to a "relatively high risk" of catching on fire.
There is no indication as to how many vehicles or which model years are affected, but the previous fire problems in both the US and China - which led to investigations but no recalls - were traced back to automatic transmission fluid leaks. The article, however, does not say what the potential problem is this time around as Jeep has not released a comment on the matter. The official notice, in Chinese, can be found here.

Chrysler recalling nearly 141k vehicles over electrical woes

Wed, 02 Oct 2013

Software glitches that randomly illuminate warning lights and cause instrument cluster blackouts are forcing Chrysler to recall 140,800 vehicles, The Detroit News reports. The automaker is recalling 132,000 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokees, 91,559 of which are in the US. In addition to the Jeep recalls, Chrysler is adding 10,800 2014 Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 trucks to the list for similar problems.
Chrysler reportedly says, "Both events occurred infrequently and appeared to resolve themselves by tuning the vehicle's ignition off and then on."
Engineers discovered a problem with the anti-lock-braking system software that causes the instrument cluster display of the Grand Cherokee to illuminate warning lights and black out - even its ABS and electronic stability control systems are affected. To fix the Jeeps, Chrysler will update the vehicle's software.
