Classic 1974 Jeep CJ5 Renegade

AMC 304 V8 - 3 Speed - Original Engine and Transmission
This is a 3 day auction and will end soon.

This Jeep is a daily driver and is very dependable, turns heads everywhere I go and is fun and easy to drive.  I keep it indoors when not being driven and take good care of it.  I love this Jeep and I'm only selling it because we need the money to grow our business and that's a priority right now.

I have listed it for sale locally in Denison, Texas and I reserve the right to end the auction early if sold.

Details:
All metal body - Very Solid 
Full Roll Cage
This Jeep was not and is not rusted (only surface on suspension parts, etc.. where fresh paint may have chipped off while being driven - Very common for a daily driver.

During the restoration, both front fenders, hood and grille were replaced with brand new Factory Replacement Parts from AMD Metal for the following body parts:

New Left and Right Fenders
New Grille
New Hood
These body parts are new and straight, factory coated to prevent corrosion or rust and looks great.

Front Floor Pans are original and have not been patched.  
They are not rusted and are in great shape.
Rear Floor pans are also in good shape, however there are small imperfections (dents - dings) in the metal where it looks like they carried something in the back.  They still look great and are solid.

New Parts:
Brand New Holley 650 CFM - Electric Choke
New Plugs and High Voltage Wires
New High Voltage Coil
New Valve Covers
New Alternator and belt
New Radiator  (Runs cool, does not overheat)

Engine:
Original AMC 304 V8
Starts very very easy.
Idles great
Runs great - lots of power.
AMC 304 Long Tube Headers with Jeep CJ5 Side Exhaust.  Looks Great and Sounds Amazing.  These were extremely popular back in the 70's and I know why.

Transmission: Factory 3-Speed Manual.  Shifts perfect and easy.  Clutch works great.  No problems.

Transfer Case:  4x4 works good.  The transfer case shifts into HIGH and LOW with ease.

Electrical: 
Headlights work (high and low beam)  
Tail lights and brake lights work.  New LED tail/brake lights - Very bright and safe.
All turn signals work.
Hazard lights work
Wipers work (2 speed)  New Wiper Motor and wiper transmission linkage.

Horn works

New Windshield and rubber

New AM/FM Radio with dash mounted speaker (Radio works good)

Factory OEM Jeep Steel Wheels - Powder coated White.
4 Factory hub caps in great condition (rare and hard to find in this shape)
New BFG All Terrain Tires
Comes with 5th Powder Coated Steel Wheel and extra hub cap if you want it for a rear mounted spare.

New Racing Seats - very comfortable and safe.
New Seat Belts

The front suspension was recently aligned and this Jeep goes very straight down the road.  Rare for a CJ5 with such a short wheel base.

New Heavy Duty Front Bumper

New Brake Master Cylinder

New VERY Heavy Duty Custom Rear Bumper with receiver (not yet installed) Comes with Jeep.

New Rear Drive Shaft and U-Joints - I had a heavy duty drive shaft specially built by a drive shaft shop and machinist.  Has been balanced and works great.

Ammo Box Center Console (Works great)

New 8000lb Warn Winch (works great and has remote)

New Orange Paint - Old paint taken down to metal, etch primed then sealed and painted right

I used Armor Liner that was tinted Orange like body color for Roll Cage, Dash and firewall 
(Tough as nails and will not rust)
Black Armor Liner on floor pans.

4 New Fender Flares

What else?

This Jeep comes with a CJ5 Renegade Decal / Stripe Kit that is correct for 1974.
I have a factory Jeep tailgate that is sandblasted and ready to be installed to fill the hole in the back.
I have a new CJ5 (replacement) heater motor and switch that needs to be bolted up to the firewall.
The newly installed carburetor needs to be tuned jetted down 1-2 sizes to run perfect.  It runs great as it is and I drive it every day, and I would drive it across country like it is, but it needs to be tuned.  There is a very slight lag when you barley press on accelerator.  If you press down about 1/4 to 1/2 or all the way down....it has TONS of power and get's on it great, just hesitates under very slight acceleration.  It's just a brand new carb and needs to be tuned.
Needs a fuel sending unit installed.

The Speedo is not accurate and the fuel gage does not work (needs a sending unit).
I like using my Iphone for the speedometer (downloaded a GPS speedometer App for Free) and stuck it to windshield with Velcro - very accurate and comes with NAVIGATION.

As the photos will show, I have turned the steering wheel around in order to give me more room, however I do have a very nice (flat) custom wood grain steering wheel that will go with the Jeep if you prefer to have that one instead.   Personally, I like the one that's on it.

This Jeep is ready for Car Shows, the Trail or your daily commute to work.

It's located in Denison, Tx and can be driven and inspected anytime.

I have a clear Texas Title in my name and it currently registered, inspected and insured in Texas.
This is not a quick flip vehicle, it's a great Jeep and I hate to see it go.

Thank You for you interest.

Chrysler expecting up to 200,000 9-speed transmissions for 3 models this year

Tue, 22 Jan 2013

Striving for improved fuel economy, we already knew that Chrysler will begin using a nine-speed automatic transmission in some of its new products this year, but what we haven't known is that volume at which this gearbox will be used. According to Bloomberg, Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has been quoted as saying that the automaker expects to sell close to 200,000 units equipped with this new transmission in 2013. Those gear-rich trannies will be spread out across three models, consisting of the redesigned Chrysler 200, the still-unnamed Jeep Liberty replacement and the Dodge Dart.
This transmission should play a pivotal role in making Chrysler vehicles more competitive in their respective segments. Just for comparison, one of the Dart's key competitors, the Toyota Corolla, still uses a four-speed automatic, and a previous report indicates that the next-generation 200 could get up to 38 miles per gallon on the highway, which is better than most non-hybrid midsize sedans on the market. Marchionne says that the new Jeep model is expected during the second quarter of this year, but there is no word as to when the new 200 or nine-speed Dart will debut, but clearly Dodge would like to have the transmission in its compact yesterday. As for that volume figure, it definitely doesn't seem out of reach since the Dart, Liberty and 200 combined for a total of more than 225,000 units in 2012.
How many more gears can we expect in future cars? Probably not many more, since the CEO of transmission-builder ZF, Stefan Sommer, previously stated that nine speeds was the "natural limit" for transmissions.

Stellantis says its 2021 performance has been better than expected

Thu, Jul 8 2021

MILAN — Stellantis softened up investors ahead of its electrification strategy event on Thursday by flagging that 2021 got off to a better-than-expected start despite a chip shortage that has hit automakers worldwide. Stellantis, which was formed in January from the merger of Italian-American automaker Fiat Chrysler and France's PSA, faces an investor community keen to hear how it plans to come up with a range of electrified vehicles (EVs) to rival Tesla. At its "EV Day 2021" kicking off at 1230 GMT, Stellantis will disclose significant investments in electrification technology and connected software as it aims to be an industry frontrunner, it said in a statement. In April, Chief Executive Carlos Tavares said it would offer low-emission versions — either battery or hybrid electric — of almost all of its European models by 2025, and they should make up 70% of European sales and 35% of U.S. sales by 2030. Stellantis, the world's fourth-biggest automaker, has 14 brands in its stable, including Jeep, Ram, Opel, Fiat, Peugeot and Maserati.   Stellantis EV Day coverage: Dodge will launch the 'world's first electric muscle car' in 2024 Fully electric Ram 1500 will begin production in 2024 Jeep will have 4xe plug-in hybrid models across the lineup by 2025 Stellantis teases mystery electric Chrysler concept Stellantis previews 4 electric platforms: Here's how they'll be used Fiat says all Abarth models to be electric from 2024 Opel Manta E will be the electric revival of the classic German coupe Stellantis says its 2021 performance has been better than expected   At a similar EV strategy event last week, French rival Renault announced that 90% of its main brand models would be all-electric by 2030, whereas previously it had included hybrids in its target. Germany's Volkswagen, the world's second-biggest automaker after Toyota, expects all-electric vehicles to make up 55% of its total sales in Europe by 2030, and more than 70% of sales at its Volkswagen brand. Stellantis said its margins on adjusted operating profits in the first half of 2021 were expected to exceed an annual target of between 5.5% and 7.5%, despite production losses due to a global shortage of semiconductor supplies. Stellantis shares listed in Milan were down 2.6% at 0920 GMT, underperforming the broader European car index. Bestinver analyst Marco Opipari said Thursday's news was positive but that the stock was suffering from profit taking as it had moved up about 20% since the end of April.

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards

Tue, 27 Nov 2012

Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
