Up for your consideration is my 1971 Jeep CJ5.
This Jeep has been restored to better than original condition. The front half(ffrom the door post forward) is original. The floor is 1/8 inch(!!!) steel, so will not flex or rust thru in our lifetime. The rear fenders and tail are new steel. There is NO rust on this body.
The engine is the original Buick "Dauntless" V6 with unknown miles(its a jeep). Still runs strong and drive it daily in the summer. The transmission is 3 speed,transfer case in one, so it tends to be noisy, but not excessive considering the age. The axles and suspension are original, with the front closed hub 25 with drum brakes. The rear is 44 with drum brakes. Brakes are upgraded to power.
There is a "cold air intake" installed, but I have the original air cleaner assembly. Optima yellow top battery.
The soft top is a newer "Bestop", with split doors and many options for riding. I have a bikini top that adds to the fun.
Interior is clean with nice sports seats. Guages include Autometer tach, oil, and temp. volt,amp, and air pressure guage for the on board air. Fire extiguisher included, as is the Hi-lift jack on the front. Upgraded power steering with tilt wheel.
All of the lights are converted to LED lights, except the headlights, which have the H4 conversion. The Back- up light is mounted into the spare, and is 55 watt.
This Jeep has won an award at a car show, and turns a lot of heads on the summer with the top off. There is a lot of history and love that goes with this Jeep.
Please keep in mind that if you are a larger person or tall, remember that it is an older style CJ5, with comfortable sport seats. If you are larger, you will want to change seats.
Please note that this is for sale locally, so I reserve the right to sell before the reserve is met at auction. once the reserve is met, I will stick with the auction. Thanks for your consideration.

New England Patriots player helps driver of rollover crash
Tue, Jan 20 2015Winning the AFC Championship game to guarantee a spot in the Super Bowl would be a pretty major accomplishment for most people in a day. However, just hours after the victory, New England Patriots defensive tackle Vince Wilfork showed what he could do off the field, when he helped save a woman from an overturned car. Though, the player remained modest about what happened. Wilfork and his wife were driving home late at night when they spotted a flipped Jeep near Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, MA. Surveillance video showed Wilfork pulling over and running to the vehicle's aid to be among the first on the scene. Finding a woman trapped inside, Wilfork told her, "Don't panic," and according to Massachusetts State Police, the 325-pound player simply reached his arm into the vehicle and lifted the woman out to save her. She was later charged with driving under the influence. Hear Wilfork's description of what happened in the video above.
Jeep Wrangler Copper Crawler is our idea of a restrained Mopar shopping spree
Thu, 07 Nov 2013According to a recent report, the Jeep Wrangler is the most popular SUV for customization, and this is backed up by the fact that the iconic off-roader was just named the Hottest 4x4-SUV at SEMA for the fourth year in a row. Looking for ways to keep its customers in-house rather than going aftermarket, Jeep and Mopar are always teaming to offer exciting new parts and pieces for the JK Wrangler.
Compared to most other Wranglers on display at SEMA - as well as other Chrysler Mopar SEMA concepts - the Jeep Wrangler Copper Crawler is surprisingly reserved, but should be no less exciting for owners to give their Wrangler a distinctive look. Starting off with an eye-catching copper paint scheme, the Jeep then goes on a Mopar catalog shopping spree with its matte black grille, black beadlock wheels, two-inch lift, Rubicon bumper (with a winch and aero end caps up front) and rocker panel and taillight guards.
Jeep also upgraded the Wrangler's transfer case for low-speed rock crawling (hence the vehicle's name) and cold-air intake for extra measure.
Infiniti looking for a new boss after Christian Meunier leaves to lead Jeep
Wed, May 8 2019Nissan's premium division Infiniti is expected to announce a new acting global chief for the brand, the company said, after its current head, Christian Meunier, left to lead the Jeep unit of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. Nissan's chief quality officer Christian Vandenhende will oversee Infiniti's global operations effective immediately, until a new brand chief is named, Infiniti said in the statement on Tuesday. Meunier, 51, was named Infinit's global chief in early January after its previous boss Roland Krueger left the Hong Kong-based brand. Meunier will take over as global president for SUV-focused Jeep effective immediately, Fiat Chrysler said in a separate statement. Fiat Chrysler CEO Mike Manley had been running Jeep until he was elevated to the top job in July after the death of Sergio Marchionne. Meunier has international experience from his years with Ford, Land Rover, Nissan and Infiniti, which may prove valuable as Jeep attempts to expand overseas with a lineup of new products including the Gladiator pickup, a Wrangler plug-in hybrid, and the revived Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer nameplates. He's worked mostly in sales and marketing roles, including as senior vice president of sales, marketing and operations for Nissan North America; chairman of Nissan Canada; and his recent role heading up Infiniti. An Infiniti spokesman said Meunier's resignation was not related to Nissan's internal investigation into its former leader Carlos Ghosn.
