Description:

1977 Jeep CJ5 up for grabs.  This Jeep is incredible; it gets attention everywhere it goes.  It is a complete off frame restoration, including a new frame and nearly all new parts on it.  It has taken about a year to complete the project; hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars have went into this Jeep.  If you are looking for a CJ with all the heavy lifting done for a low price...this is it.  I was originally going to take it to Barrett Jackson and auction it off, but with the few minor issues it has, and little time i have, i could not complete the mission.  This Jeep has nearly double the money/time into it than what the buy now price is asking.  It's priced for a quick sale because winter is coming up and i need my garage back with all the snow SLC gets.  I honestly hate to sell it, but it needs to go since there is no space and i refuse to let the Jeep sit outside.  The Jeep has never seen rain or snow since I've restored it and is only driven as a show car/ casual driver.  Please call with any questions or concerns before bidding. The engine has been freshened up and has 2,750 miles since being put back together. The frame is not the original frame, it came from a bodyshop that restores frames. It has been completely restored, reinforced, sand blasted and painted by a professional shop.

Milage on the body is unknown, the majority (almost every nut and bolt) of this Jeep has been restored or replaced with original and aftermarket parts. The title Reads "Odometer 0." So it is essentially a new 1977 CJ, however it is a used 1977 CJ5….

This Jeep has a mechanical clutch.  This means that since the upgraded V8 sits further back in the engine bay, meaning that it's closer to the flywheel and clutch.  We installed a mechanical clutch to fit right on par with the new engine.  When shifting gears, the clutch is only pushed in about 1/4 to 1/2 way.  It is controlled by a strong spring underneath and is made for easy shifting. (please contact with any questions)


The Issue's:

There are some chips on the top part of the Grill because the owner dropped it during final assembly putting it back together. The Fuel sending unit in the gas tank needs replaced which causes the gas gauge not to work (runs and drives fine). There are stress marks/fine cracks in the paint on the back of the tub near the passenger side brake light from the weight of the spare tire and assembly pulling on the back of the tub. A metal plate has been added to reinforce the fiberglass tub and the issue has been corrected. However, the paint still needs fixed. Also it has a very small oil leak coming from where engine and transmission meet. Also, the knob for the indicator lights has been broken off and will need to be replaced for the indicator lights to work. The final issue is that there is a locking lug nut on each wheel, however the lug nut key has been lost. So in order to take them off you will need to figure out a way to get them off. This Jeep does have some issue that need to be worked out but with a little bit of TLC this will be one of if not the best CJ5 on the Road.

Stellantis reveals STLA Large platform with EV and ICE support

Fri, Jan 19 2024

Hot on the heels of a Jeep Wagoneer S teaser and photos of the prototype next-generation Dodge Charger (or Challenger), comes a reveal and details of what will likely underpin both of them: the STLA Large platform. It's one of multiple Stellantis flexible architectures that will be the basis of its upcoming electric cars, and apparently internal combustion ones, too. Stellantis says the STLA Large platform will be for D- and E-segment cars, crossovers and SUVs. In other words, it will be for midsize and large vehicles. For reference, lengths supported will be from 187.6 to 201.8 inches, and width will range from 74.7 to 79.9 inches. It will be highly flexible, too, with Stellantis claiming significant amounts of adjustability in overhangs, wheelbase, suspension placement and powertrain arrangement. The powertrain flexibility is quite impressive. Front-, rear- and all-wheel-drive layouts will be supported. Single- and dual-motor layouts will be on offer. Internal combustion will be available, too, either on its own or as a hybrid. Apparently engines can be fitted either longitudinally or transversely, too. Battery packs with between 85 and 118 kWh of capacity will be offered, with Stellantis claiming that sedan-style vehicles could have a range of up to 500 miles. The packs will also be available in 400- and 800-volt designs. Stellantis noted also that the platform can "easily accept future energy storage technologies when they reach production readiness." This seems to hint that the company is looking at different battery chemistries and maybe even solid-state batteries that could be added more easily in the future. Furthermore, the platform is designed to handle impressive output. Stellantis says that some models on the platform will have 0-to-62 mph times in the 2-second range. Limited-slip differentials for improved power delivery and wheel-end disconnects for reduced mechanical drag are also on the table for this platform. All of these details fit well with the information previously given for the concept Dodge Charger Daytona Banshee and Jeep Wagoneer S. The former was previewed with both battery voltage architectures and a wide range of electric powertrains with between 456 and 670 horsepower depending on specification and upgrades. And that's just for the 400-volt system; the 800-volt option wasn't detailed. We've also seen photos of the Charger chassis seemingly with provisions for gas engines, likely versions of the Hurricane I6.

NHTSA investigating why Jeep recall fix is taking so long

Mon, 07 Jul 2014

Jeep's saga with the National Traffic Safety Administration and the voluntary campaign to repair 1.56 million vehicles for allegedly unsafe trailer hitches, is getting yet another chapter. The controversy appeared to finally be over in January when the automaker found a supplier for the replacement parts. Nothing is ever that easy, though, and the government regulator is now requesting documents from the company to clarify why the repairs are taking so long to begin.
Jeep parent company Chrysler has until July 16 to submit documents and answers to NHTSA explaining the situation. The regulator claims that despite its compromise to inspect and repair the models with improper hitches in June 2013, Chrysler didn't find a part supplier until December and didn't order the replacements until January. The government agency believes that the first components weren't manufactured until May of this year and vehicles may not actually be repaired until as late as August. According to the report, if the Chrysler doesn't supply what NHTSA is asking for, the agency could "take additional appropriate action as warranted."
Throughout this entire process, Chrysler has asserted that the vehicles met the applicable crash test standards of the time, and it has kept NHTSA abreast of the repair activity. In a recently released statement it said that the regulator analyzed eight rear impact reconstruction tests and found the replacement hitch to be safe. To keep up with the high demand for replacements, Chrysler is working with multiple suppliers, and they are running three shifts, six days a week to get the parts ready as soon as possible.
