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.

FCA is setting a five-year strategy: Here's how the last one played out
Thu, May 31 2018We're slightly more than four years removed from Sergio Marchionne last five-year plan for FCA, a tell-all where the Italian-American automaker divulged its plans for the 2014 through 2018 model years. It was a grand affair, where Sergio told FCA investors that all was right in Auburn Hills, Alfa Romeo and Maserati were making comebacks, and the fifth-gen Dodge Viper received a mid-cycle refresh. You can read every last one of those past predictions right here. We're on our way to Europe to see Sergio's sequel, coming out Friday straight from FCA's Italian headquarters. (Bloomberg reports a plan to expand Jeep and Ram globally, combine Alfa Romeo and Maserati into a single division for an eventual spinoff, and downsizing Fiat and Chrysler. Also, EVs.) But before we arrive in Italy and find out exactly what Marchionne has planned for 2019 through 2023 as his last act as CEO, let's take a minute to tally up the results of his last term based on the same scoresheet we used in 2014. Now, we're only five months into 2018, so much of this — including vehicles like the Ram HD and Jeep Grand Wagoneer — could still debut this year. For those, we'll mark things TBD. We're not going to draw any conclusions or make any objectionable remarks. We're simply going to let the stats speak for themselves.
Autoblog Minute: Wrangler production to remain in Toledo, pickup may come
Thu, Sep 3 2015Jeep seems to be changing its production strategy, with Wrangler to remain in Toledo but Cherokee slated to leave. Autoblog's Mylencia Gillenwaters reports on this edition of Autoblog Minute.Wrangler to remain in Toledo but Cherokee is slated to leave. Autoblog's Mylencia Gillenwaters reports on this edition of Autoblog Minute. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] Jeep seems to be changing its production strategy. Wrangler to remain in Toledo but Cherokee is slated to leave. I'm Mylencia Gillenwaters and this is your Autoblog Minute. According to a report from the Automotive News production of the Jeep Cherokee will be moved to another state. To fill the void, Jeep might develop a pickup that would be built alongside Wrangler at the Toledo, Ohio plant. A Wrangler pickup is an exciting prospect [00:00:30] for Jeep fans ever since the Jeep Gladiator concept was first introduced in 2005. Jeep officials declined to comment on its production and future vehicle development plans. We will most likely get an official statement from the automaker when they wrap up negotiations with the UAW. Leave us a comment below. Would you buy a Wrangler pickup? For Autoblog, I'm Mylencia Gillenwaters. Autoblog Minute is a short-form video news series reporting on all things automotive. Each segment offers a quick and clear picture of what's happening in the automotive industry from the perspective of Autoblog's expert editorial staff, auto executives, and industry professionals.
Jeep CEO promises Grand Cherokee Hellcat 'before the end of 2017' [UPDATE]
Tue, Jan 12 2016UPDATE: Video of Mike Manley confirming the Grand Cherokee SRT Hellcat has been added. In one of the worst kept secrets in the auto industry, Jeep has confirmed that the Grand Cherokee SRT Hellcat is coming. The news comes from Vvuzz, which has Jeep CEO Mike Manley on camera confirming the monstrous SUV. Manley confirmed that the Jeep, which we hope will offer the same 707-horsepower version of Chrysler's 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 as the Dodge Challenger and Charger, will arrive before the end of 2017. This, friends, is grand news. By the time the Grand Cherokee Hellcat arrives, it'll be faced with an array of high-performance challengers from BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Land Rover, and Porsche. But, if things stay the way they are with the competition and SRT engineers can bring the Hellcat engine's full output to bear on an all-wheel-drive platform, the Grand Cherokee will have a power advantage ranging from 130 to 157 hp. It's one thing to best the competition by a dozen horsepower, it's entirely different to outgun them by an entire Toyota Corolla. Expect much more on the Grand Cherokee SRT Hellcat in the coming months. Scroll on to see Manley confirm the news. This content is hosted by a third party.
