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 SRT gets power increase, minor tweaks for 2015
Tue, 02 Sep 2014As a brand within Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, SRT may have an uncertain future, but it's pumping out some seriously mean machines anyway. The supercharged Hellcat V8 may be gobbling up most of the headlines with its 707 horsepower, but even the Grand Cherokee SRT is getting some small updates for the 2015 model year.
Most importantly for many enthusiasts, the Grand Cherokee SRT is getting a slight power bump. Don't expect the 700+ hp from the Hellcat, but this SUV sees a modest 5-hp and 5-pound-feet of torque improvement to bring output to 475 hp and 470 lb-ft for its 6.4-liter V8 with an eight-speed automatic. The minor change doesn't change the sprint to 60 miles per hour, clocking in at the same 4.8 seconds, or the tow rating at 7,200 pounds. Still, more grunt is never a bad idea.
Another new addition is the Active Noise Canceling system as a standard feature for this powerful SUV. It adds four microphones around the vehicle and uses the stereo system to nullify extraneous sound. However, Jeep claims that the meaty exhaust note from the V8 still gets through into the cabin for driver enjoyment.
Six 'shut up and take my money' cars
Tue, 11 Nov 2014Any time you see this iconic moment in pop culture - Shut up and take my money! - posted in response to a new car reveal, rumor for an upcoming model or even lip-service to a vehicle that should exist, you can bet there's some intrinsic good in the idea. Though depending on the person offering up the cash, that good could take the form of extraordinary form, functionality, weight savings, power, handling, etc. You get the idea.
In fact, when I first proposed this list, I reached out to the Autoblog staff to help me brainstorm. Here are some of the ideas they offered up that I ultimately didn't use: Jaguar XE Coupe, Pagani Huayra Roadster, Mercedes-Benz S-Class "parade car" (cabriolet), Morgan 3-Wheeler with Ducati V-twin, Ford Transit Connectamino (pickup), Mercedes CLA63 AMG, Ford Fusion 5.0, BMW i8 Spyder, Lexus RC-F Shooting Brake, Volvo XC90 Polestar. Oh, and things we collectively wanted to stick Dodge's Hellcat in were almost as numerous as models that Fiat Chrysler Automotive currently makes (though none quite so compelling as the Grand Cherokee you see above.)
Ultimately though, while I used a couple of ideas from my colleagues, the list of cars I'd shell out for unquestionably is very personal. Though it isn't complete, what follows is a selection of cars whose very existence would prompt me - or the trust-fund-baby versions of me - to utter without hesitation: "Shut up and take my money."
Stellantis says its 2021 performance has been better than expected
Thu, Jul 8 2021MILAN — Stellantis softened up investors ahead of its electrification strategy event on Thursday by flagging that 2021 got off to a better-than-expected start despite a chip shortage that has hit automakers worldwide. Stellantis, which was formed in January from the merger of Italian-American automaker Fiat Chrysler and France's PSA, faces an investor community keen to hear how it plans to come up with a range of electrified vehicles (EVs) to rival Tesla. At its "EV Day 2021" kicking off at 1230 GMT, Stellantis will disclose significant investments in electrification technology and connected software as it aims to be an industry frontrunner, it said in a statement. In April, Chief Executive Carlos Tavares said it would offer low-emission versions — either battery or hybrid electric — of almost all of its European models by 2025, and they should make up 70% of European sales and 35% of U.S. sales by 2030. Stellantis, the world's fourth-biggest automaker, has 14 brands in its stable, including Jeep, Ram, Opel, Fiat, Peugeot and Maserati.  Stellantis EV Day coverage: Dodge will launch the 'world's first electric muscle car' in 2024 Fully electric Ram 1500 will begin production in 2024 Jeep will have 4xe plug-in hybrid models across the lineup by 2025 Stellantis teases mystery electric Chrysler concept Stellantis previews 4 electric platforms: Here's how they'll be used Fiat says all Abarth models to be electric from 2024 Opel Manta E will be the electric revival of the classic German coupe Stellantis says its 2021 performance has been better than expected  At a similar EV strategy event last week, French rival Renault announced that 90% of its main brand models would be all-electric by 2030, whereas previously it had included hybrids in its target. Germany's Volkswagen, the world's second-biggest automaker after Toyota, expects all-electric vehicles to make up 55% of its total sales in Europe by 2030, and more than 70% of sales at its Volkswagen brand. Stellantis said its margins on adjusted operating profits in the first half of 2021 were expected to exceed an annual target of between 5.5% and 7.5%, despite production losses due to a global shortage of semiconductor supplies. Stellantis shares listed in Milan were down 2.6% at 0920 GMT, underperforming the broader European car index. Bestinver analyst Marco Opipari said Thursday's news was positive but that the stock was suffering from profit taking as it had moved up about 20% since the end of April.
