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.

Jeep rear-mounted fuel tank controversy

The fascinating history of the Popemobile

Tue, Sep 22 2015

Pope Francis will be arriving today in the US for a variety of stops, including the World Meeting of Families in Philadelphia, PA. While here, the Pontiff won't be riding in the usual Mercedes-Benz Popemobile, but instead will make a more American switch to a modified Jeep Wrangler, according to the Washington Post. It'll feature a protected front, top, and rear, but the sides will be open for His Holiness to see the throngs of people gathering for him. For hundreds of years, Popes were transported in horse-drawn carriages or sometimes carried in an enclosed chair by footmen, but His Holiness finally traded for some real horsepower in 1929. While his ride sometimes varied depending on the country being visited, a Mercedes-Benz was generally the common choice. However, the Pontiffs have ridden in everything from a modified GMC Sierra to a Ferrari Mondial over the past few decades. Pope Francis has definitely preferred more plebeian transportation, though, including a Renault 4 running on biofuel. A trip to South Korea even put him in a Kia Soul, and he opted for an Isuzu D-Max in the Philippines. The Post's whole list is quite a fun read, and it's fascinating to see how the Popemobiles evolve over time. Related Video:

The Jeep Wrangler is finally getting modern headlights for 2017

Thu, Sep 1 2016

Some of Jeep's headlights leave a lot to be desired – namely light output. In particular, the halogen lamps on the Wrangler and Cherokee have been called out by the IIHS as among the worst on the market. Things should improve for 2017, as Jeep is addressing the sorry illumination by adding LED or HID headlight options for the Wrangler, Cherokee, and Renegade. Thank heavens (or, you know, the IIHS for upping its lighting requirements). In the Wrangler's case, the decision to develop an LED for a single model year of the JK before its replacement arrives – or two if you count the extended run of the current model alongside the new one – might seem strange, but we aren't complaining. The current headlights are one retro cue that sorely needed eradicating, plus this almost guarantees LEDs for the next-gen model. Any 2017 Wrangler can be equipped with the new LED headlights and fog lights – the LED lighting group will be optional on the Sport and Sport S, and standard on Sahara and Rubicon. The Cherokee is a slightly different story – HID headlights are currently optional on that model's Limited and High Altitude trims and standard on the range-topping Overland. Next year, the brighter, more focused lamps will be standard on everything but the base Sport model, where they'll be optional. For the wee Renegade, meanwhile, HIDs are a "late availability" option as part of the safety and security group on Latitude, Limited, and Trailhawk trim levels. If you want a 2017 Renegade Sport with the better lights, though, you're out of luck. Jeep hasn't announced pricing for its 2017 offerings, so we don't know what sort of premium the LED and HID headlamps will add. We just know that whatever the price, it will be worth it. And you can bet each unit will have some sort of Easter egg Jeep design detail on it.
