1974 Jeep CJ-5 304 V8


This is an early model CJ-5 in great condition!  If you're looking for a vintage CJ that's been well taken care of and hasn't been abused by off-road use or unneeded modifications, then look no further!  Much time and effort has been given to installing only the upgrades which improve performance and handling. 

Thousands of dollars kept in receipts!  Jeep is ready for final touches to finish the restoration. 

Original style and power fitted with modern upgrades to improve safety and comfort

304 cubic-inch V8 packaged with an Edelbrock four-barrel carb = incredible horsepower!

32 x 11.50 BFG All terrains

Bestop softtop and doors

Bumpers, fender flares (not on pictures)

Greaseable, heavy-duty shackles (factory size) with urethane bushings

Rubber body mount kit

Stainless steel shock-absorbing steering shaft (Flaming River)

Stainless, tiltable column (greatly improves ease of entering vehicle), also Flaming River

Clutch, transmission seals, and clutch linkage kit

2.5’’ suspension lift

Seats & seatbeats

Additional info:

The engine runs great and it starts right up! There was a top-end rebuild on the engine less than 500 miles ago!  This job included the installation of new lifters, rods, and a slightly oversized camshaft. 

Other features include an Edelbrock 4-barrel, 600cfm carburetor and Headman headers.


As with almost all CJ's this age, the driver & passenger floorboards were starting to rust when I bought it.  I have gone through the process of treating any hint of rust. It was a three stage treatment with POR-15 products.  After the rust was removed by wire brush, I applied a metal treatment (chemically removes all remaining rust), a POR-15 hardner, & a black POR-15 top coat.  Again, this was only the front floorboards. The rest of bed was original paint with no flaking rust.  The undercarriage, bed, and floorboards were then rolled with Herculiner for protection and cleaning ease.  The original metal body is very solid.  It is very hard to find an early model CJ in this condition.

To the best of my knowledge, most major components of Jeep (engine, transmission, transfer cases and axles) are also all original.

There is a small amount of cracking paint in various areas.  This is where one layer of paint was applied over another layer.  There is no fiberglass on vehicle. 

Any questions are encouraged to be asked prior to end of auction.

NHTSA boss Strickland weighs in on Jeep recall fracas

Sat, 15 Jun 2013

Adding yet another chapter to the ongoing Jeep recall story, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) head David Strickland has gone on record to defend the government's request that Chrysler recall 2.7 million out-of-production Jeep Grand Cherokee and Jeep Liberty vehicles after the agency investigated fiery rear-end collisions that have reportedly killed at least 51 people over the years. In statements made to The Detroit News, Strickland said, "We felt very strongly that the process that we undertook and the findings that we made and ... we made the decision to issue a recall request. We do not take that very lightly." The top US auto safety regulator stopped short of telling owners to park their cars until the automaker takes action. "They can make their own risk assessment and their own choices," he said.
Chrysler does not intend to recall the models, insisting the "vehicles met and exceeded all applicable requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, including FMVSS 301, pertaining to fuel-system integrity" when they were manufactured and sold. "The company does not agree with NHTSA's conclusions and does not intend to recall the vehicles cited in the investigation. The subject vehicles are safe and are not defective," Chrysler announced last week in a statement. "We believe NHTSA's initial conclusions are based on an incomplete analysis of the underlying data, and we are committed to continue working with the agency to resolve this disagreement."
Legally, Chrysler has until June 18 to formally respond to NHTSA's request. If the automaker does not take action, NHTSA is expected to issue a formal finding and seek a recall.

Fiat Centro Stile sells design sketches to support kids in Italy

Sun, Jun 21 2020

Fiat's Centro Stile design studio in Europe has kicked off a project called stART Again to support the global charity Save the Children. The studio put 136 high-resolution sketches of Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Fiat Professional, Jeep, and Lancia vehicles for download online at just ˆ20 a pop — about $22. The proceeds from all sales will be donated to a charity founded in England 101 years ago "to improve the lives of children through better education, health care, and economic opportunities, as well as providing emergency aid in natural disasters, war, and other conflicts." Save the Children will use the funds to provide supplies, teaching materials, and support for studies for more than 100,000 children in the most disadvantaged areas of Italy who have been additionally harmed by the coronavirus and its effects. There are a heap of knockout drawings available. The selection at the Alfa Romeo store ranges from a 1958 Alfetta 158 racer to the coming Giulia GTA, classics in between including the immortal GTV 6 and the left-field 75 1.8 Turbo TCC racer. The Fiat marketplace contains wares from Abarth, Fiat, and Fiat Professional, with a massive emphasis on the new 500, but the hardcore 1972 Abarth 124 Spyder and oddball 900E van get slots in there (the 900E looks like a Volkswagen Vanagon, but the 900E came first). The Jeep shop is all business and big tires, save for the 1942 Willys MB, but someone needs to take the 1956 Jeep Forward Control sketch off the page and into reality. And the Lancia store has more to offer than the Stratos and Delta Integrale, an ominous Aurelia B20 GT and a Fulvia GT part of the five-model lineup. For some reason, Maserati got left out of the graphic bonanza, as did Ram, Dodge, and Chrysler, which is a shame. That still leaves 136 good reasons to click through and help the kiddies.
