1972 Jeep CJ5, unrestored mostly original Jeep from the Arizona desert. It has spent it's entire life in the dry desert climate around Phoenix metro area. Appears to have all original paint except left front fender which has been replaced and painted to match the original orange color. Seats and seat belts appear to be original equipment, but I am not an expert on early Jeeps. Starts and runs perfect, upgraded with Weber 2 bbl. carb kit (original 1 bbl. carb included in box), and tubular headers and Magnaflow muffler. Gauges work properly, wipers, turn signals all work, speedometer is erratic when cold. Front side marker light do not work.
232 CID straight 6 engine with great torque feeds a 3-speed standard transmission. Transfer case has 2 High, 4 High, 4 Low selection, front hubs have lock outs. Transfer case shifts fine into all selections, 4 wheel drive works fine. Has a very nice black full Besttop convertible top with full doors or half doors by removing top half. Rear window plastic is clear but has some cracks. Also comes with bikini top in nice shape. Standard roll bar bolted in the rear. This is a rare find, these early CJ5's are tough to find that aren't a pile of rust. This Jeep has a number of holes that have been drilled in it over the years for various accessories such as rear tire carrier, radio antenna, etc. 15 X 8 steel wagon wheels painted black including a 5th matching wheel for a spare. It needs a new set of tires, the tires on it are mismatched with decent tread, but are more than 10 years old and need to be replaced for SAFETY!!
Look at all of the pictures I have posted, I have tried to depict the overall condition of this nice Jeep. However, the pictures don't show various bumps and bruises, scratches, and extra holes that have been sustained over the last 40 years. This Jeep is very solid, easy restoration, or drive it like it is. It is 40 years old and drives like a 40 year old Jeep, so don't expect a new Jeep with all of the creature comforts, these are primitive and basic, no frills, easy to work on. Ask questions, I am not an expert on these old Jeeps. Selling with no reserve!! It is located in Scottsdale Arizona.

Federal investigations about safety of rear-mounted gas tanks is nothing new
Sun, 09 Jun 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Chrysler are currently making waves in our daily news feeds due to a disagreement over the safety of a few million Jeep Liberty and Grand Cherokee models. Specifically, NHTSA has asked Chrysler to recall the SUVs because of the location of their fuel tanks, but you may be interested to know that requests such as this are nothing new.
Besides the two Jeep models, NHTSA has launched investigations over the years in such models as the Ford Crown Victoria (and its police-car counterpart), GM pickups built between 1972 and 1987, and rather famously the Ford Pinto.
Understanding how automakers and NHTSA have dealt with fuel-tank-safety concerns in the past may offer a better understanding of how Chrysler and the government agency will settle their current dispute. Check out the complete article from The Detroit News here.
eBay Find of the Day: 1977 Jeep J20 time capsule
Tue, 08 Jan 2013Is it just us or has eBay really become, of late, a surprising time capsule of older, barely used automobiles? We've had the 2005 Porsche Carrera GT with 83 miles, the 2004 Ferrari Enzo with 175 miles, the 1987 Shelby Lancer with 22 miles, the 1989 Shelby Dakota with 23 miles - none of those four cars ever even registered - and the 1975 Cosworth Vega with 191 miles. You can add to that list a 1977 Jeep J20 - the kind of Jeep that enthusiasts point to when they beg the brand to make another pickup truck.
Listed on eBay by Masterpiece Classic Cars in Whiteland, Indiana, the Brandywine and Alpine White truck has used its 360-cubic-inch V8 paired with a three-speed automatic to go just 3,940 documented miles. Not surprisingly, it's listed in excellent condition and the images appear to bear that out. The three-quarter-ton pickup comes with its original manual and pamphlets, the Quadra-Track four-wheel drive probably just as ready to tackle the terrain as it was 36 years ago. If only it came with some John Denver to play in that AM/FM/8-Track stereo...
At the time of writing it hasn't garnered a single offer or bid, probably due to the above-top-dollar Buy It Now price of $34,900. Still, since this is likely the closest you'll get to a Jeep pickup for some time, we'd recommend admiring it in the gallery of photos above.
Jeep Renegade sales being held due to powertrain issue [UPDATE]
Wed, May 20 2015UPDATE: An unnamed FCA US source has clarified to Automotive News that while there is a software issue, it does not concern the transmission. The Jeep Renegade appears to be facing early software problems that are similar to the ones at the introduction of the Cherokee a few years ago. The issue is keeping the brand's latest compact crossover away from dealers until the situation can be resolved. The fault reportedly deals with the software controlling the Renegade's nine-speed automatic transmission. FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne briefly talked about what was happening in an interview with Automotive News. "I'm having a very bad engineering day," he said. "It's a combination of attributes of that vehicle that is making my life horrible." The company boss predicted at the longest it could take until mid-June to fix things. Through April, Jeep has sold 5,157 Renegades, including 4,214 of them in that month alone. Autoblog reached out to an FCA US spokesperson to learn more about the software problem, but the company had no comment. Getting the software right to control the nine-speed automatic plagued development of the Cherokee. The issues delayed the model's launch in 2013, and the company was still releasing improvements for some vehicles this year.
