You are bidding on a lovingly and perfectly restored 1955 Willys CJ5 Jeep. The 1955 CJ5 is special because this was the first year that the CJ5 was produced. This is your chance to own a legend.
This Jeep was stripped to the frame and then carefully restored and reassembled with rebuilt or new parts and all new hardware to make this a beautiful and reliable vintage Jeep. The chassis was cleaned, stripped and repainted. The front and rear axel assemblies were rebuilt (front and rear bearings, seals and gaskets all around, new spicer-style front axels, new kingpin bearing assemblies, new knuckle seals). The axel assemblies are installed with new Rancho shocks and springs. To make the jeep safe on modern roads, the breaking system is upgraded: 11 rear brake drums and GM Front disc brakes are installed along with new brake lines, proportioning valve and a dual-chamber high-capacity master cylinder (this was done in a non-destructive and reversible upgrade). The original steering system is rebuilt and and installed with new tie-rod ends and a Rancho steering damper to make driving more comfortable. New bumpers, wheels and tires complete the rolling chassis (I chose to keep a more vintage look with the smaller tire size but there is space in the chassis for much larger tires). The Hurricane F4-134 engine is stripped and rebuilt (New pistons, rings, bearings, remachined block, crank, cam, and head, valves and seats reground, valve seals replaced, distributor rebuilt, new carburetor, generator, starter, oil-pump, water pump, fuel pump, fuel, oil and vacuum lines, crankcase vent, timing belt and gear, spark plugs and wires, water temp and oil pressure sending units, ignition coil, and gaskets installed. A new clutch, pressure plate and bearings are fitted. The original oil-bath air filter was replaced with a K&N filter to make maintenance easier (the original oil-bath filter comes with the jeep). The transmission and transfer case were inspected, overhauled and reinstalled. A new radiator and hoses ensure great cooling. The front and rear driveshafts were overhauled, with new universal joints installed. A new end to end exhaust system is installed. The body is completely and flawlessly restored, the exterior is painted candy apple red, the engine compartment is painted gloss black and the under body and passenger compartment are sprayed with black Rhino Liner. The body is assembled with new gaskets and seals and fitted to the chassis with 1" of chassis lift. A new bestop black and removable doors, mud flaps, hood latches, tailgate chains, and classic round side-view mirror finish the exterior. New Bestop front seats make for a comfortable ride. A new heater makes the interior comfortable on chilly mornings even with the top off. Front seat belts, and a roll bar are installed for safety. A new wiring harness is installed along with a new voltage regulator, and battery, all of the the lights were restored or replaced with the correct units for a classic vintage look, and new gauges, wiper motors and switches are fitted to finish off a perfect electrical system. I'm sure there is much more but this should give you the majority of what's been done. All receipts, the Jeep service manual, tune-up spares and various other extras are included.
The jeep has only seen 375 miles since restoration, all driven on sunny days. The rest of the time, it is stored in my garage.
I had so much fun restoring this jeep that I am selling this one and starting work on another.

Best 3rd Row SUVs of 2024
Wed, Oct 19 2022If you plan on using a vehicle's third row a lot, let us at least make the suggestion that a minivan would be a smarter bet than anything you're going to see on this list of best three-row SUVs. Their third rows are bigger, more comfortable and easier to get to. The kids will definitely be happier. Here are our two top choices. OK, now that that's out of the way, we totally get why minivans are totally depressing and that if the kids want to be happier, they can buy their own darn vehicle. You're buying, you're driving, you're being seen in it and you'd rather have a three-row SUV. Fair enough. Luckily, there are more choices than ever and they're really good. The best do a particularly good job of being family friendly without looking like a drab transportation appliance, although really, you can't go wrong with any of the mainstream three-row SUVs. Now, some of the luxury choices are a bit suspect, including those that are otherwise very appealing but have cramped third-row seats (the Genesis GV80 comes to mind). We're focusing on three-row SUVs here, so having a usable third row is a must.  In this list, we have broken things down into four sub-categories: Best Three-Row Crossover |  Best Full-size Three-Row SUV Best Luxury Three-Row SUV |  Best Flagship Luxury Three-Row SUV Note that we define crossovers as SUVs since most buyers use the terms interchangeably, but acknowledge that "crossover" is literally a vehicle with a car-like unibody structure as opposed to the truck-like, body-on-frame construction that traditionally has defined "SUV." In other words, we consider all crossovers SUVs, but not all SUVs are crossovers (specifically those in the full-size segment and some in the flagship luxury segment). Best Three-Row Crossover SUVs of 2024 2024 Honda Pilot Why it stands out: Exceptional storage and cargo space; unique second-row functionality; refined ride; versatile and capable TrailSport; advanced AWDCould be better: Subpar acceleration with lackadaisical transmission and engine response; so-so driver assistance tech Read our full 2024 Honda Pilot Review The Honda Pilot was completely redesigned for 2023. It maintains its predecessor's family friendly packaging and overall focus, but it has injected a welcome sense of style (especially in the TrailSport pictured above) that makes it stand out much better from the big crossover crowd.
Jeep: Portraits
Mon, Feb 8 2016Jeep looks back on 75 years of four-wheeling. The brand's tough vehicles have carried everything from soldiers to sunbathers. The brand wants you to remember all the highlights, from the beaches of Normandy to the fictional Jurassic Park – one a remarkable accomplishment of human determination in the face of war, the other a really successful movie. Do you think Jeep's spot captures the essence of the brand? Vote it up or down. Marketing/Advertising Jeep Super Bowl Commercials 2016 super bowl ad
Jeep lays out 5-year plan, including rebirth of Grand Wagoneer and new C-segment offering
Tue, 06 May 2014Fiat Chrysler CEO Sergio Machionne presented a five-year plan for the company brands this morning, with Jeep first up on a long day of presentation. Jeep's head honcho Michael Manley wasted no time in laying out what the foreseeable future will look like for what he calls the "lead global brand" of the company.
Big goals for the next half-decade will include expanding the lineup from five nameplates built in one country, to six nameplates build in six countries. That expansion of models will include both a three-row competitor, and, of course, a small vehicle to slot below Cherokee. The company is also seeking to add a whopping 1,300 dealers over the next few years, to sell all this new metal, and has an aggressive goal of doubling Jeep sales by the time 2018 rolls around.
As expected, that first salvo from the off-road brand will be the debut of the much ballyhooed Renegade small crossover in the third quarter of this year. Jeep has already designated that Renegade will get refreshed for the 2017 model year, as well.
