A True Survivor! A very original, 1970 Kaiser-Jeep CJ5.
Description: This Jeep is a survivor. I am unaware of others in this original condition. The Jeep is completely stock. It even has the original, oil bath air cleaner. The previous owner told me that the Jeep has less than 40,000 miles and lived most of its life on a farm in Arkansas where miles were low but the vehicle worked hard. The previous owner made the re-spray a few years ago and replaced the carburetor, speedometer, turn signal system, radiator, hoses, wiring, tires and a few other items. I built the roll cage for the sake of safety. I replaced the heater core, installed rebuilt and recovered Tuxedo Park seats and various trim items. I also added the period correct, Warn "Belleview" Winch. This winch was the only electric winch available when this Jeep was new. It works perfect and could likely tug the little CJ up a tree. The Dauntless V6 pulls like crazy and has incredible torque to the 3 speed transmission. Issues: This is an original, 44 year old Jeep! It drives fine but is a cobby old creature! To make it road perfect, I would replace the springs, shocks, upgrade to the common, larger front drum brakes and maybe a power steering system.I would also replace the 44 year old seals in the transmission and resurface the grabby clutch at the same time. The body is almost rust free with some degradation in small reinforcement struts under the tub and these areas have been neutralized. The heater needs ducts in the cab. The Warn winch needs new actuating cables. All of this is pretty trivial. I have way too many projects and a busy racing season. Take this old girl to a new home and put her on display. |

Watch this 650-hp Hennessey Jeep Grand Cherokee go from 0-60 in 3.9 seconds
Tue, 14 May 2013Hennessey Performance Engineering has created an HPE650 package for the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT fitted with the 6.4-liter Hemi engine. When it leaves the showroom floor it has 470 horsepower and gets from 0-60 miles per hour in 4.8 seconds. When it leaves Hennessey's garage floor after the upgrade it has 650 horsepower - 530 hp at the wheels, according to Hennessey - and gets to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds on its way to running the quarter-mile in 12.6 seconds.
There's more than just a Roots-type supercharger bolt-on, with ported cylinder heads and high-flow headers among the many changes made to the engine. You can watch this pre-2014 facelift silver model prove its spec sheet on the drag strip in the video below.
Key-swapping thieves steal Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT from FL dealer
Sat, 09 Nov 2013Just a few weeks back, we reported on the theft of an Audi RS5 by a pair of creative thieves who managed to swipe the car's keys when the salesperson stepped away from their desk. Now, a Florida dealership is missing a Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 after some crooks switched the Jeep's keys with an identical, non-functioning set.
According to the report from local NBC affiliate WPTV, the men went in and spoke to a dealer about the Jeep. They walked outside, took a look at it, started it up and in the process managed to switch out the fobs. After doing their time with the salesperson, the thieves walked back out to the car, got in and drove away.
"I mean obviously, the way it was done, I think that they were professionals and they knew what they were doing," said Arrigo Jeep General Manager Joe Tufo. "The fact that they did it in broad daylight and switched the key fob and it was like it was nothing. That's what makes it unique," he added.
Jeep Wrangler gets the wide-track treatment
Mon, 07 Jan 2013When we read the tip about a Gulf-state diplomat in Rabat, Morocco who had supposedly "merged two Jeep Wranglers," we figured the two off-roaders were somehow linked front-to-back. Oh no. As you can see in the image above, taken from video of that vehicle actually traveling down the road and needing more than one lane to do it, the two Jeeps were put together side-by-side.
The seriously widebody truck is said to have six wheels, one at each corner and two in the middle. That's about all anyone seems to know about it at the moment, and that's probably enough - in these situations you know better than to ask why, just watch the video below.
