Jeep CJ5 The chassis
and drivetrain are year correct and believed to be original. 225 ci
Dauntless (odd fire) V6 T-14 three
speed transmission with the Dana 18 transfer case Handmade
Stainless Steel Body The body is
believed to have been hand fabricated in the Philippines. This type of body
work was relatively common in the Philippines. The details are amazing! My understanding is that a few of these
bodies were imported and fitted to existing Jeeps back in the ‘70’s. It
seems that most all of these were probably scrapped due to the difficulty of
body repair and the attractive value of the scrap stainless. This could be one
of a remaining few and I doubt there are any in better condition. After several
internet searches I have yet to find any other Stainless bodied CJ5’s out
there. There are no dents or any other evidence of any body damage. This would
lead one to believe that this jeep did not see any hard off-roading in its
lifetime. The stainless has a brushed looking finished similar to a DeLorean
but it could be polished to a chrome like finish if desired. Many of the
accessories are also stainless; this includes the bumpers, roll bar, review
mirror, gas tank, dash board, tail gate, trailer hitch, can and tire rack, jerry
cans, etc. I was told by
the previous owner that the transmission has had a recent rebuild but it does
leak, and shifting into second can require a bit of double clutching. This is
not in need of immediate repair but may need attention at some point, parts are
available and inexpensive. The remainder
of the drivetrain and all other systems are working as they should. This jeep
runs and drives well. The odd fire engine runs very strong and has pleasingly
unique sound. Most all wear parts have been replaced, including the clutch,
brake shoes, all hoses and belts. The starter, distributer, Holly two barrel
carburetor, gauges, fuel pump, shocks are new or near new. Other than
the body a few deviations from stock have been made. They include the addition
of power steering, tilt column, Select-O disengaging front hubs, HEI
distributor, Skyjacker soft ride leaf springs, chrome long tube headers, and
late model replacement seats. These and items like the clear shift knobs give
it a very vintage 1970’s Vibe. This vehicle could be brought back to 100% stock
(other than the body!) with very little effort. This is a
rare, and possibly one and only, opportunity to own a truly unique vehicle like this. Clean
California title and registration in my name. I will be
happy to assist with arranging any shipping required. Thank you for
your interest. |

Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango still catching fire after recall
Thu, May 7 2015Automakers issue recalls all the time. It's part of the cost of doing business. We just assume that once the recall has been carried out, the problem in question has been fixed. But that's not always the case, as this latest investigation being undertaken by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration goes to show. The problem stems back to a recall issued by Chrysler last summer. It revolved rather the sun visor in the SUVs it makes at its Jefferson North Assembly Plant – specifically, the screw affixing the sun visor could end up rubbing against the wiring for the lamp in the vanity mirror, potentially causing an electrical short and even a fire. 62 such short circuits, 38 fires and three injuries reported, prompting Chrysler to recall nearly 900,000 units of the 2011-2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango (over 650,000 of them in the United States). The plastic spacers they installed to rectify the problem, however, may not have done the trick. Eight reports (but none involving injuries) have been filed with the NHTSA regarding the same issue recurring, spurring the government agency to open a new investigation into the matter. If deemed necessary, the NHTSA could ask FCA to issue another recall to fix the issue again, which we may necessitate the installation of a fuze to prevent any such the electric short. Related Video: INVESTIGATION Subject : Headliner Fires Date Investigation Opened: MAY 01, 2015 Date Investigation Closed: Open NHTSA Action Number: RQ15003 Component(s): ELECTRICAL SYSTEM , INTERIOR LIGHTING Manufacturer: Chrysler (FCA US LLC) SUMMARY: On July 1st, 2014 Chrysler (FCA US LLC) issued safety recall 14V-391 to remedy a wiring-related fire hazard on the headliner of approximately 661,888 model year (MY) 2011-2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango vehicles manufactured between January 5, 2010 and December 11, 2013. The recall was in response to the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) investigation EA14-001 during which data provided by Chrysler indicates that the fire is caused by an electrical short in the vanity lamp wiring for either one of the sun visors mounted on the vehicle. The sun visors are mounted to the roof of the vehicle through the headliner with three metal screws.
Jeep's new Chip Away commercial has us hunting Al Pacino's back catalog
Tue, 19 Feb 2013Chrysler has done a pretty good job as of late turning its television commercials into pep talks or rallying cries, but for its first ad for the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee, it turned to Al Pacino's inspirational speech from the movie Any Given Sunday. In the movie, Pacino's character talks about how football is a game of inches, but the commercial, titled Chip Away, focuses more on the attention to detail that Jeep has exhibited on its updated flagship SUV.
Centering around the newest Grand Cherokee model, the luxurious $47,995 Summit trim level, the commercial shows off some of the hand-stitched leathers and real metal and wood accents found inside the cabin. Check out the new 60-second spot by scrolling below.
