Kingston, Pennsylvania, United States

Selling my 1974 CJ5. This thing is a true untouched running / driving, survivor. Even better its a Northeast Jeep with no major rust rot or body work. Original floors not rotted not repaired, original paint. 33k original miles, clean clear title. This is registered, insured inspected , and driven.
Body does have some stress cracks, dings/ scratches, minor surface rust,  a small rust hole ( pictured)on passenger rocker, and some spray can / brush touch ups, but all and all about as original as you can get. Tailgate is rust free, passenger under seat toolbox rust free! Don't expect a show jeep, but either a great driver or an excellent candidate for a restore, as most everything that came on it is still on it and works. 

Motor runs great 258 straight 6 , starts easy, idles good, etc. Original 1 bbl Carter YF carb. 4x4 works, T18 granny low 4 speed shifts good. Transfer case is greasy / oily but it doesnt leave any puddles or drips when its parked. 

New Bestop front seats, and a new Bestop bikini. Gauges all work, including fuel gauge! Heat/ defrost work , but can use new control cables. Horn even works!

Rear tail lights not currently connected. I replaced the broken originals with 76-86 CJ tail lights and didnt hook them up yet.
Original wiring/ connections still in tact if you want to put the early round ones back on.

Headlights do work.

Underneath, it has brand new 2.5" BDS springs, grease able shackles,, ( originals were completely flattened out), braided stainless brake hoses, new shoes, wheel cyls, etc. new parking brake cables come with it. 32x11.5-15 BFG AT Tires with approx 70% tread even wear. Factory CJ Wagon wheels.

Frame was cracked and plated , on both sides, ( see pic) but that's pretty common on these older CJs, good solid repair, should not have any issues.
There is no rot on the frame.

Has plow frame and pump. Pump isn't hooked up, I never tested it. No blade or undercarriage mount for plow.

Everything works great on this jeep and it drives great for a 40 year old original. I really liked the patina so I kept it original. You can probably drive this anywhere, but it won't be a comfy ride. Manual steering, manual brakes.

Windshield has some frosting from being old, but I have a good shape used glass that goes w/ jeep.

No other top than bikini, but I have the original Meyers hard top listed in an other auction.

 email me if you have any questions.

I really planned on keeping this, because how many do you come across with a T18, and this kind of original shape, but too many other projects and work have been keeping me from enjoying it. 

Please don't bid if you can pay or pick up. Feedback less than 10 email me or ill block you and cancel your bid.
If you have some crazy place you want it shipped or some plan for pickup, email before you bid please.


Local pickup, but will work with a shipper- arrangements are up to you.

2014 Jeep Cherokee configurator up and running

Fri, 09 Aug 2013

Production delays aside, Jeep is steaming towards its September on-sale date for the 2014 Cherokee. The reborn midsizer's configurator has just gone live, meaning you can fiddle with different options, colors and trim levels to your heart's content.
The cheapest model available is the 4X2 Sport, which starts at a reasonable $22,995. On the high end, the Cherokee's builder allowed us to indulge our passion for ludicrously priced vehicles by outfitting the top-end Trailhawk, which already starts at $29,495, with $8,610 in options. The resulting car, which you can see above, would retail for $39,100 after the $995 destination is factored in.
Head on over to Jeep's build-it-yourself website and have a look around.

Watch a Cayenne Turbo S, Range Rover SVR, and Cherokee SRT drag race

Thu, Mar 17 2016

We live in a weird world where high-performance SUVs could win a 60-mile-per-hour sprint against sports cars from just a few years ago. Here, Top Gear sets up a three-way drag race against the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S, Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR, and Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT, and the results show just how quickly these high-riding models can cross the quarter mile. The Cherokee SRT is the patriotic choice among the three, but it's down on power in this fight. Meanwhile, the Range Rover's menacing growl sounds the best, and the Cayenne Turbo S has the most horsepower. You'll have to watch the video to see which SUV will win this battle. Related Video:

Auto critic calls out Corvette, Mustang and Cherokee faithful

Mon, 26 Aug 2013

Most automotive purists fear change, but not without reason. Change, after all, did kill big-block V8s, along with most station wagons and manual transmissions. But change has also brought with it far more performance, safety and fuel economy - not to mention ridding the world of shag carpet interiors, bias-ply tires and those horrible motorized seatbelts of the early '90s.
By this time next year, the Chevy Corvette, Jeep Cherokee and next-generation Ford Mustang will all be on sale and will all, in some way, have angered or offended purists. To those critics, Mark Phelan of the Detroit Free Press is preemptively telling them to stop complaining - at least until they've all been driven. From the Corvette's square taillights and the Cherokee's radical nose to whatever pony car purists will harp on the 2015 Mustang for, Phelan's column points out the positives of automotive evolution and the negatives of staying the course for too long. That's fair enough, but do you think Phelan is on point, or all wet? Head on over to the Detroit Free Press to read his words, then have your say in Comments.
