I have a nice little 1971 CJ5 for sale. If you're looking for one to make a cream puff out of this may be it.
Let me clarify one item so we're all on the same page. I'm going to say this Jeep is rust free. What I mean by that is there are no panels to replace, no floors to repair, none of that painful stuff. Now is there some light surface rust in places, certainly but nothing major. This Jeep stayed in an enclosed garage all its life. The dad bought it in 71. Mississippi didn't have titles at the time. The son acquired it in 78 and that was the first title issued. He has had it up until a few months ago. A guy bought it for his wife, she couldn't drive a manual transmission and I ended up with it. I have no idea what the actual mileage is.
Starting with the good. Sound body, new windshield, 10ft paint job (not professional). Runs and drives nice. Transmission shifts perfectly, Spicer/Dana 18 single stick transfer case shifts and works great. Locking hubs on front. Seats are OK, but could stand new covers. The headlights work and one tail light works. Blinkers are toast. New steering wheel (it had a chain steering wheel on it when I got it).
Now for the not so good. None of it really bad, just things that will need to be addressed. The previous owner (PO) was let's say creative and so there are some things needing attention.
Let's start with the gas tank. It had this monster what looked to be homemade tank in it when I brought it home.It had been sitting for a little over a year so thankfully they decided to use a boat tank (pictured) and not try to use this tank. It must have been near full when they stopped driving it since the tank had several inches of crud and rust in the bottom. It was also welded into the Jeep. I cut it out and you can still see part of one of the mounts in one of the pictures. So the boat tank is in it for the present. Your choice would be a rear mounted original tank or getting an underseat kit available online. While we're taking about the tank. The PO cut a access hole in the bed floor to access the sending unit and fuel line hookup. Can easily be repaired but its there. For some reason when he put the monster tank in it, he moved the gas filler to the side where the spare tire mount would be. No clue why. I moved it back to the correct spot, put a spare tire carrier back on and covered the hole with aluminum (pictured).
If it doesn't sell, my plans are to get a EZ Wiring 8 circuit kit and rewire the Jeep. The wiring on these Jeeps was sketchy to begin with. The lights and blinkers need addressing so doing the whole thing just makes sense. The kits are less than a $100. Cheap for the peace of mind. I've already bought a new turn signal assembly with horn for the Jeep.
Part of the heater was missing and the fan didn't run. I was able to pick up a good original heater for the Jeep and this will be included. I've been leaning more to a Mojave type heater mounted on the passenger side. Just an option.
The dash is nice except where the PO drilled some holes for a speaker. I think this could be repaired with little trouble. There is no glove box. I noticed a homemade cover over the hole to access the brake master cylinder.
The tool box under the passenger seat has some minor surface rust but otherwise good to go. A little brushing and some paint and it'll be fine. Seats could use some attention but serviceable as they are.
It has a 225 Dauntless V6. Runs great. Starts right up. The air cleaner is one I had laying around. I would like to find an original so I could hook up the PCV hoses correctly. The PO put a crossflow radiator in it at some time. The rear seal on the transfer case was leaking pretty bad when I got it. I replaced the seal this past weekend and now good to go. It has a new starter in it. It starts up fine but I'm just not sure about the sound it makes when the starter engages. 4WD and hubs lock in and out as they should.
The left front fender took a lick at some time and had a 2 - 3" split in it. It looks like they put bondo on it and didn't weld the split up. The bondo has since fallen out. Will need to be repaired.
As for the tires. Although they look good in the pics, they would only serve you around the neighborhood at slow speeds or on the farm. They will need to be replaced. They're cracking on the sidewalls pretty bad.
That's about it. I need to free up some space in the shop but I'm not going to give it away. Its too nice a Jeep for that. You don't find Jeeps like this east of the Mississippi, especially in mud country.
$500 non-refundable deposit within 48 hours of auction end. The rest due in cash at pickup. Cashier's Check Ok but must clear bank before Jeep will be released. All moneys should change hands within 7 days. I'll work with you or your carrier to get it loaded. If you have less than 10 feedback, don't bid, I will cancel and block your bid. No exceptions. Please ask all questions through Ebay before bidding. I'm available most of the time to talk so leave your number and I'll call you back. Thanks.

Weekly Recap: GM scales back as Russian auto market teeters
Sat, Mar 21 2015General Motors' extensive plans to scale back its Russian operations are the latest sign the automotive market in the former superpower is collapsing – and there are few signs of recovery. GM said Wednesday it will stop selling mainstream Chevrolets and shutter the entire Opel brand in Russia. The moves leave GM with a luxury-focused presence consisting of Cadillac and Chevrolet's Corvette, Camaro and Tahoe. The cutbacks will be completed by the end of the year. The automaker will also idle its factory in St. Petersburg and end a contract-assembly agreement with Russian manufacturer GAZ. "We had to take decisive action in Russia to protect our business," Opel Group CEO Karl-Thomas Neumann said in a statement. "We confirm our outlook to return the European business to profitability in 2016 and stick to our long-term goals." GM is the latest automaker to scale back in Russia as the economic conditions, volatile currency and uncertainty over the conflict in the Ukraine all have sandbagged new car sales. Last month, vehicle sales collapsed 38 percent in Russia to 128,298 units, according to the Association of European Business, which records sales. Joerg Schreiber, chairman of the AEB automobile manufacturers committee, didn't even feign optimism in a statement announcing the figures. "The market is entering a very difficult phase now, and February is only the beginning," he said. "Industry sentiment is the next few months will be extremely difficult and the market bottom has yet to be found." The dovetails with industry experts, who predict the Russian auto sector will remain in the doldrums. IHS said earlier this year it expects Russia's sales to slip to just 1.8 million units in 2015, which is a 40-percent drop from 2012. Other News & Notes Chief leads Jeep's Easter Safari stable Jeep is bringing seven attention-getting concepts to Moab for its annual Easter Safari off-roading celebration in Utah, but the Chief is perhaps the standout of the group. It salutes the 1970s Cherokee with a throwback appearance and surfer styling cues. The Chief has a custom modified razor grille made famous by the Wagoneer, and it rolls on 17-inch slotted mag wheels. The surf theme comes in with ocean blue paint, floral cloth and leather seats and a tiki-style shifter handle. Based on the Jeep Wrangler, the Chief has removable sides, a 3.6-liter V6 engine and a six-speed manual gearbox.
