Classic unmolested 1973 CJ-5. 3 speed transmission with original AMC 304 V8. The body is in fantastic condition inside and out with no dents or bondo.(rear right 3/4 panel was replaced by previous owner) Very minor surface rust in the back bed as pictured. This was a restoration project that I seem to never have time for and now need a long distance vehicle that can go over 75 mph comfortably (this 40 year old CJ wont cut it as a daily HWY driver). My loss your gain as you can see in one of the pics, nearly $5,000.00 was spent on maintaining and upgrading this beauty since late 2012. The work done on it is as follows : Alternator, regulator assembly, belts, seals, tie rods, break lines, U joints, Clutch kit, pitman arm, batteries and Power steering unit installed.


This very original Jeep as you can see is in excellent all around shape. All 5 matching original wheels with hard to find 60/40 front seats that are in great shape.
 Starts right up with the V8 roaring strong.  No mechanical issues with steering, braking, shifting, 4WD, etc..

There are some things that I have not fixed like windshield wipers (sometimes they work,sometimes they don't). Front headlights don't work as of recent nor do the  gauges..which BTW I am including a new unused speedometer in the sale along with oil & volt gauges. Parking brake lever is not connected and the passenger under seat storage lid hinges need to be replaced. The Dash heating/ventilating control unit is disconnected and a replacement unit (not the cables) is included in the sale along with a grab bar, original V8 emblems & original dash lighter. Original manuals, inspection report and receipts are also included. These are minor things but I felt I should mention them.
This CJ is unique and full of character unlike all the new jeeps out there, This baby is ready to be experienced On and Off road ! 

The Jeep is located in Austin, TX so if you are in the area you are more than welcome to come check it out for yourself. 
Any questions if you have them, feel free to contact me. As of today the Jeep is also listed local so I reserve the right to end auction early. I will entertain offers within reason. 
The vehicle is listed and sold as-is and all sales are final. Winner is responsible for all shipment fees and services.

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.

This American Life spends a week selling Jeeps in Long Island

Thu, 19 Dec 2013

So you think you know car dealers? Well, maybe you do, but This American Life spent a month at Town and Country Jeep Chrysler Doge Ram in Long Island to give us a behind-the-scenes look (or listen, since it's a radio program) at what it's like to be a car dealer.
Yes, there's a lot of swearing in thick New York accents, frustration, confusion, and generally it's a madhouse at the dealership. But that's understandable when the sales staff has to sell 129 vehicles in October in order to get an $85,000 manufacturer bonus - with several other Jeep dealerships within a 10-mile radius.
The episode, 129 Cars, is worth a listen, but make sure you have 71 minutes to spare if you want to get through it in one sitting. Head here for the unedited version or here for the bleeped version (which is 58 minutes long).
