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.

If you have any questions feel free to calling or texting anytime #720-295-3372

Wrangler truck, aka Scrambler, will reportedly have a convertible top

Mon, Nov 27 2017

Update: We reached out to Jeep for confirmation on the Wrangler convertible top. A representative said he couldn't give any comment. The text has been updated to reflect this. Besides off-road ability and boxy design, the Wrangler's other signature feature is its convertible top. And while the top was implemented on the four-door Unlimited, there has never been a guarantee that the upcoming truck, sometimes referred to as Scrambler, would have the same kind of roof. But the odds are looking better than ever now that an anonymous source told Automotive News the pickup will have some sort of convertible top. This helps supports other tidbits of information that have trickled out about the truck's roof. A few months ago, a Wrangler forum discovered parts information for the truck that included multiple colors and materials for the top. We've also seen spy shots of a prototype with a hard top that had a distinct front section like the removable portion on current multi-piece Wrangler hard tops. We've reached out to Jeep for official comment, and a representative there was unable to give us any comment regarding the Wrangler truck's roof. Related Video:

SEMA crowns Mustang, FR-S as this year's hottest cars in the building

Wed, 31 Oct 2012

After wrapping up the first day of the 2012 SEMA Show, organizers handed out awards for some of the trendiest vehicles on display. Since the whole point of SEMA is to show off new products available in the aftermarket world for use in cars, trucks and SUVs, each year, the show distinguishes the most popular vehicle in various segments. Not surprisingly, this year's Hottest Car and Hottest Sport Compact are the Ford Mustang and Scion FR-S, respectively, while the Ford F-Series brought home the Hottest Truck and the Jeep Wrangler was named the Hottest 4x4-SUV.
More than 2,000 companies are at this year's show, and the display booths represents a "vote" for each car to determing the trendiest vehicles in each of the four categories. It isn't clear if these awards also take cars brought by OEMs into account, but the Mustang and FR-S were definitely well represented by both OEM and aftermarket show versions.
As usual, the OEMs showed up in force at the this year's SEMA Show exhibiting a variety of cars ranging from production-intent cars like the beastly Ford Mustang Cobra Jet to much flashier rides like Scion's Carbon Stealth FR-S.

2014 Jeep Compass/Patriot sing their swan songs with a six-speed automatic

Tue, 15 Jan 2013

Unless the governor, Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne, gives them a reprieve, the 2014 Jeep Compass and Patriot are expected to meet their makers sometime next year. Should they perish, it's a shame that it would happen just as they've shed the continuously variable transmission that was their major bugbear, and just as the Compass has gotten its best looks yet.
Both will roll with a proper six-speed automatic transmission, courtesy of PowerTech. Noise-resistant gears and tuning by Chrysler boffins should alleviate the unappealing sounds that were given off by the older CVT. Unless, that is, you choose to have either model equipped with Freedom Drive II; the serious off-road package, available on both baby Jeeps, will still come with the CVT. The base transmission on the entry-level Sport trim remains the five-speed manual.
Otherwise, it's minor changes for the Compass, set off by the new 18-inch wheel option, trim pieces around the car and a back-up camera. The Patriot gets seat-mounted airbags, but is carryover otherwise. With their expected demises perhaps a year away, not much has changed otherwise. Engine choices comprise the 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 158 horsepower and 141 pound-feet of torque or the 2.4-liter four-cylinder with 172 hp and 165 lb-ft.
