1975 Jeep Cj5 Base Sport Utility 2-door 4.2l on 2040-cars
Guthrie Center, Iowa, United States
|
Up for auction is this 3 speed 1975 CJ5 Jeep I purchased in Washington, OR in 2005, and drove it 1,600 miles back to Iowa with no problems! It has the stock 258 6 cylinder engine (not the 232) and had 69,000 miles on it. I am the 4th owner. It was originally passed down from Grandfather to Grandson in 1991 with 23,000 miles, and sold to the gentleman I bought it from with 47,000 miles. It had been repainted from the original white to dark metallic blue. Custom features include stainless bumpers, bumper guards, body hardware and interior grab bar. It has a black powder coated Swing Away Spare Tire Carrier (paint is peeling off); a big option at that time, an entire black Rhino lined interior pan and wheel wells. Wheel Rims are 15x8 5/5-1/2 (#164 Ultra) polished aluminum with s/s center caps. Included are the Original Window Sticker, 1975 Owner’s Manual, Warranty Pamphlets, original Repair Receipts, and Ads used to sell this jeep. Also included are Moses Ludel’s Jeep CJ Rebuilder’s Manual 1972-1986, Chilton’s Repair & Tune Up Guide 1947-1987. This jeep is in good mechanical condition and has a plenty of pep. I would not hesitate to drive it back to Oregon. It does burn a little oil and I suspect that someday it will need the rings replaced. The biggest problem is that it has sat outside, so developed the inevitable rust holes in the quarters. The left upper plastic door window has a foot long tear, otherwise, the Bestop soft top is in pretty good condition. The front seats had tears in them when I bought this jeep. I see one can now buy the 1975 original appearing seats, which were unavailable for a long time. I installed a new HEI distributor a couple of years ago, and recently installed a new valve cover gasket and had the carburetor overhauled, as it was hard to start if it sat for more than one week. Now it starts fine. The throw out bearing complains occasionally in really cold weather. Currently, it has 76,333 miles, so I have driven it about 7,000 miles during the past eight years. It is a great winter vehicle, which is what I mainly used it for, and of course fun to drive in the summer with the doors off. I am selling this jeep now as I’m in my 60’s and it is becoming increasingly uncomfortable for me to get in and out of it, especially with the door height and it’s short wheelbase ride. This would be a nice jeep the way it is now or as a project to restore or customize. Originally I paid $7500 for it, but am starting the bidding at $5,000 due to the needed rust repairs. Am selling ‘AS IS’ with no refunds or returns! Buyer must pick up Jeep and I must be paid via Bank Cashier’s Check or in cash, before I sign the Title and the Jeep leaves my house. Good luck bidding! |

Jurassic Park made a big impact on these Jeep drivers
Thu, 12 Jun 2014For a certain cohort of young folks, Jurassic Park is a touchstone film from their childhood. Not only did it play into practically every little boy's love of dinosaurs, the movie included some great action scenes and special effects that still hold up today. In its latest video, The Aficionauto takes a look the Jurassic Park Motor Pool, a California car club with over 40 fans who created replica vehicles from the iconic film.
The club is made up of an interesting cross-section of people. Many of them were Jeep Wrangler fans that already loved off-roading and Jurassic Park, and liked the idea of bringing them together. Like any close-knit club, it ends up being about community and people coming together to share their interests. It's quite a heartwarming video. Also, be sure to stay until the end because The Aficionauto teases a future Jurassic Park-themed vehicle. Scroll down to check out the motor pool.
FCA delays Grand Wagoneer and next-generation heavy-duty Ram trucks
Mon, Dec 12 2016The upcoming Jeep Grand Wagoneer has had a tumultuous gestation thus far. At one point it was essentially confirmed, but later it was rumored to have been cancelled. In that context, the latest report from Automotive News is something of a mixed blessing. According to the publication, the Grand Wagoneer has simply been delayed, as has the next-generation Ram heavy duty truck line. This does not seem to affect the fully redesigned Ram 1500, which was previously reported to have been pushed back slightly to 2019. Automotive News says the information came from unnamed sources at the company. Nothing was said about how long the vehicles would be delayed. The publication also conjectures that FCA is delaying the models to save some money to help cover the company's $7 billion of debt , since re-tooling both the heavy-duty truck plant and eventual Grand Wagoneer plant will be expensive. View 6 Photos We reached out to Chrysler for more information on the subject, but the company wouldn't comment on the report. Even so, we wouldn't be too surprised if FCA is indeed delaying these products. The company has delayed a number of vehicles in recent years. In fact nearly every major FCA truck and SUV, including the Grand Wagoneer and Ram line, were delayed about a year and a half ago. We certainly hope the company doesn't delay the Grand Wagoneer for too long, since it's possible it will have a price tag of over $130,000. The profit margins on an SUV with that kind of MSRP would go a long way to helping to pay down the company's debt. Related Video:
2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio vs. 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk: On-paper sibling rivalry
Thu, Feb 15 2018Pricing was revealed for the 2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio, and with its $81,590 price tag, it's within range of yet another high-performance SUV from Fiat-Chrysler: the 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk. The Hellcat-powered Jeep is more expensive than the Stelvio at $86,995, but depending on options, the price advantage might go either way. This left us wondering, how similar are these two high-powered SUVs? Besides sharing the same number of words in their very-long names, we took a look at some of their performance specs and put them in the spreadsheet below. As always, if you want to compare either of these with other speedy SUVs, be sure to try out our comparison tools. As far as outright speed, both SUVs are surprisingly close. The Trackhawk is just a bit quicker in a straight line, hitting 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds as opposed to the Alfa's 3.9. The Jeep's 180-mph top speed is also 3-mph quicker than the Alfa. But neither of these differences is especially huge. What makes this interesting is how different the paths each SUV takes to get to its results. The Trackhawk accomplishes the task with pure grunt. It has Dodge's Hellcat supercharged 6.2-liter V8 making 707 horsepower and 645 pound-feet of torque to overcome its hefty 5,363-pound body. The Alfa, on the other hand, makes do with less power and torque, 505 and 443, respectively, from its twin-turbocharged 2.9-liter V6. It has less weight, though. Exactly how much less we're not sure, since Alfa hasn't revealed that number, but a regular Stelvio weighs right around 4,000 pounds, so we would guess the weight is similar, possibly a little more. View 14 Photos The differences in how each SUV achieves its performance should result in pretty different driving characteristics, and probably different buyers. Each SUV's bragging points also indicates this. The Trackhawk boasts an impressive 11.6-second claimed quarter-mile time, something that American muscle car fans everywhere care about. The Alfa brags about how it's the fastest production SUV to lap the Nurburgring, something sure to impress fans of foreign cars and those that value handling over straight-line performance. So really, although these two SUVs have performance similarities, they're also very different, and the right one for you depends on what you value.
