Selling my wife’s 1979 Jeep CJ5 Custom Resale RED “Hot Rod”!

 

Yeah you heard me right my wife’s Jeep. A couple of years ago she wanted a toy to ride around town in and take to the local car shows and monthly cruise in. Well she found this Jeep and fell in love with it. It is COOL, FAST, LOUD, DEPENDABLE, FUN and gets attention everywhere you go.

This Jeep underwent a full frame off restoration. Then later the owner at that time had an awesome

Chevy 350 V8 built and installed. The professional engine builder estimates the horsepower at 350 HP

It is mated up to a GM TH350 automatic transmission attached with Advance Adapters to the stock Dana 20 transfer case with custom drive shafts running to a stock front end and to a fully custom Ford 9 inch rear end. The rear was narrowed and features Lock-Right Powertrax Automatic Positive locking Differential. The front axle sports Pro-Comp hubs. Controlling the TH350 is a B & M bump shifter with reverse lock out. If you want to leave a red light FAST this Jeep will make it happen with slight pressure on the right foot!

The GOOD:

This Jeep really looks sharp

It has a slick paint job that from 5 feet looks perfect

It starts runs and shifts like it should

Disc brakes front and Drum rear stop the Jeep straight and safely

The interior is clean and nice

It sounds GREAT! You will wake your neighbors

The winch has never been used and works as new w/ remote

Passes North Carolina inspection

All lights work – Headlights both low & high, brakes, running and turn signals

All gauges work perfectly

Indicator lights for high beam and turn signals all work

The windshield wipers work in both high and low speeds

 

The Bad:

 

The paint is not 100% perfect. Hey it is a Jeep right?

There are a few very small chips on the front edge of the front fenders

There are two paint chips on the driver’s side entry area hidden with the doors on

There are two small dings on the hood (no chips) that do not show in the pictures

There is one very small ding on the top of the driver’s side front fender

There are some small blisters in the paint on the cowl behind the hood in front of the windshield

There is a very small oil leak around the transmission oil pan

It has a new horn but it needs a new horn switch in the steering column. It works if the wheel is turned just right.

The indicator light for the four wheel drive is not hooked up

There is not a park brake put it is an automatic so no big deal

The glove box is fake and only a chrome door cover for looks

 

True miles on this Jeep are unknown. The Jeep shows 22K miles since the frame off restoration and build.

 

Sold As Is - NO WARRANTY 

 

You also get a folder almost two inches thick of receipts, engine specs and owner’s manuals for the winch and carburetor.

We have owned three CJ’s and two Wranglers and have never had one this cool and so well done. With a short wheelbase, lifted, oversize tires and twice the stock horsepower this Jeep deserves respect. Having driven it now a couple of years I find it very easy and fun to drive. We call it our Go Cart! I ran it down I-40 two weeks ago for five miles both ways and kept up with all traffic easy in a 70 MPH speed zone and it tracked and handled GREAT. I added 3 degree shims under the front axle last year and it improved the steering considerably but on grooved two lane country roads it will wonder. On good smooth roads and highways she drives straight & easy.

 

The total investment to date on this Jeep exceeds $18,000.00. I have the reserve set a few thousand under that number. This Jeep is for sale locally for $16,500.00 and I reserve the option to end this auction immediately if the Jeep sells.

This is a very nice Jeep and I’m sure I have missed listing some of the options.

Clear North Carolina title in hand in my wife’s name.

 

Terms:

I require a $500.00 deposit via PayPal by the winning bidder within 24 hours. Full Payment and pick up within 7 days of close of auction.

Buyer responsible for pick up or transportation.

I welcome any questions. Please feel free to contact me on my cell at 336-480-7851.

Thank you for looking and happy bidding.

2017 Jeep Compass debuts with tiny Grand Cherokee looks

Tue, Sep 27 2016

Meet the Jeep Compass. It is, thankfully, completely new and entirely unrelated to the Jeep Compass and Patriot that are on sale now. Bet you almost forgot about that pair. As the new C-Segment SUV in Jeep's lineup, it'll replace both of those models and take a spot in between the Renegade and Cherokee. The new Compass is based on a stretched version of the Renegade platform, what Fiat Chrysler Automotive in a fit of eloquence calls the "Small Wide 4x4" architecture. We expect front-wheel drive as standard and four-wheel drive as a very commonly selected option. The Compass should offer either a 2.0-liter turbo inline-four or a naturally-aspirated 2.4-liter inline-four, both mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission. There's a chance it'll get a manual, but it's a very slim chance. That being said, globally there will be 17 powertrain options, according to FCA, and that may mean US consumers will have more than one choice in the matter. Judging by the first photo above, a an off-road-ready Trailhawk model is a good bet. We've already seen this thing completely uncovered in these spy shots, which were taken in Brazil, where it will be produced, so the overall mini-Grand Cherokee aesthetic isn't a surprise. The interior looks more like the Cherokee's than the Renegade's, however, and you'll notice there's no controversial T-handle shifter in sight. So why didn't we see the new Compass at the New York Auto Show, like everybody expected? Jeep says it's because it wanted the reveal to occur at the plant that's going to build the thing, highlighting the importance of the South and Central American markets for the brand. There will be a North American debut with more information coming at the LA Auto Show in November, so we won't have too long to wait for more details. As originally planned, the Compass should hit American dealerships in early 2017. Featured Gallery 2017 Jeep Compass Revealed in Brazil Jeep Crossover SUV Off-Road Vehicles jeep compass jeep patriot

Win a car while supporting a charity this holiday season

Thu, Dec 9 2021

Autoblog may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Pricing and availability are subject to change. No donation or payment necessary to enter or win this sweepstakes. See official rules on Omaze.  The leaves have fallen, there is a crispness to the air and there have already been multiple forecasts of snow, which can only mean one thing: We're coming up on Christmas. While you've been busy thinking about what kind of gifts you're going to give your loved ones, we here at Autoblog have been deciding which dream car we'd like to see in our driveway on Christmas morning. A car for Christmas does seem a bit extreme and expensive, but thanks to these Omaze sweepstakes, it doesn't have to break the bank. Here are the current sweepstakes we'd like to win this holiday season. Win a DeLorean DMC-12 - Enter at Omaze James Riswick, West Coast Editor: Let me be clear, the DeLorean is a pretty terrible car. Its speedometer doesn't even go up to the fabled 88 mph. Seriously, look at the pictures: tops out at 85. Also, who services a DeLorean? And how much would it cost to maintain one? $AlloftheMoney or just $MostoftheMoney? So owning it could be a total headache, but at least by winning one through Omaze, you'd be relieved of the financial burden of buying one in the first place. You'd also get the chance to own one of the most iconic cars of all time, one that transcends car enthusiasm and is instantly recognizable by everyone as the "Back to the Future" car. Plus, "everyone" doesn't know that the DeLorean was actually a pretty terrible car. So, I already own James Bond's car from 1995, why not Doc Brown's from 1985? Win a 2021 Bentley Bentayga V8 - Enter at Omaze Eddie Sabatini, Production Manager: Why am I choosing a +$200K Bentley SUV? Because even if I could afford one I'd never be able to wrap my head around spending money on one. So why not try to win one by donating what I can afford to a good cause? I first saw the Bentley Bentayga up close and personal at the Frankfurt Motor Show (I forget which year but I'll never forget this SUV). And although it looks like the Bentayga Omaze is offering up doesn't have the opulent tailgate setup I fell in love with when I saw it in Frankfurt, I'd still enter to win. Win a 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280SL Pagoda - Enter at Omaze Byron Hurd, Editor: Few automotive marketing efforts stick out in my head more than the Mercedes-Benz holiday spots and magazine placements.
