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.

Fiat Chrysler to get $105M fine from NHTSA for recall woes

Sun, Jul 26 2015

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is about to send a powerful message to automakers doing business in the United States, assuming reports of an upcoming $105 million fine against Fiat Chrysler Automobiles comes to fruition. In addition to the record-setting monetary fine, according to The Wall Street Journal, FCA will have to accept an independent auditor that will monitor the company's recall and safety processes and will be forced to buy back certain recalled vehicles. In other cases, such as with Jeep Grand Cherokee and Liberty models with gas tanks that could potentially catch fire in certain types of accidents, FCA will offer financial encouragement for owners to get their recall work done or to trade those older vehicles in on new cars, according to the report. FCA could reportedly reduce its fines if it meets certain conditions, though those remain unclear at this time. These actions against FCA are being taken after NHTSA began a probe into the automaker over almost two dozen separate instances where the government claims FCA failed to follow proper procedures for recalls and safety defects. Included in those safety lapses are more than 11 million vehicles currently in customer hands. These penalties and fines are separate from the investigation over security problems with Chrysler's Uconnect system that allowed hackers to obtain remote access into key vehicle systems in 1.4 million vehicles.

FCA delays Grand Wagoneer and next-generation heavy-duty Ram trucks

Mon, Dec 12 2016

The upcoming Jeep Grand Wagoneer has had a tumultuous gestation thus far. At one point it was essentially confirmed, but later it was rumored to have been cancelled. In that context, the latest report from Automotive News is something of a mixed blessing. According to the publication, the Grand Wagoneer has simply been delayed, as has the next-generation Ram heavy duty truck line. This does not seem to affect the fully redesigned Ram 1500, which was previously reported to have been pushed back slightly to 2019. Automotive News says the information came from unnamed sources at the company. Nothing was said about how long the vehicles would be delayed. The publication also conjectures that FCA is delaying the models to save some money to help cover the company's $7 billion of debt , since re-tooling both the heavy-duty truck plant and eventual Grand Wagoneer plant will be expensive. View 6 Photos We reached out to Chrysler for more information on the subject, but the company wouldn't comment on the report. Even so, we wouldn't be too surprised if FCA is indeed delaying these products. The company has delayed a number of vehicles in recent years. In fact nearly every major FCA truck and SUV, including the Grand Wagoneer and Ram line, were delayed about a year and a half ago. We certainly hope the company doesn't delay the Grand Wagoneer for too long, since it's possible it will have a price tag of over $130,000. The profit margins on an SUV with that kind of MSRP would go a long way to helping to pay down the company's debt. Related Video:

Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk and a Final Four of automakers | Autoblog Podcast #723

Fri, Apr 1 2022

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski. We start out with news on the Lotus Eletre and Ferrari Purosangue. These two high-end crossovers are followed by discussions about the new inline-six engines from Stellantis and an overabundance of Hummer EV orders. Next we try something we've never tried before: ranking automaker blue bloods. We took inspiration from the current NCAA tournament, which features Duke, North Carolina, Villanova and Kansas — very much traditional blue-blood basketball programs — to name our Final Four automakers. Let us know if you agree or disagree with our picks and what your definition of a blue blood car brand is. We wrap up with a discussion about the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk that Jeremy's been driving all week. Send us your questions for the Mailbag and Spend My Money at: Podcast@Autoblog.com.
