1978 Jeep Cj 5 Beautiful! on 2040-cars
Knoxville, Tennessee, United States
|
This is a jaw-dropping, head-turning 1978 Jeep CJ 5 that recently completed a frame-up restoration. This Jeep looks brand new inside, outside and under the hood. It is a beautiful metallic brown color with black interior. It is structurally, mechanically and aesthetically perfect.
I purchased this Jeep last month on eBay for $17,000 for my wife. I do not think that she will ever drive it as she isn't interested in driving a manual (something that I should have considered ahead of time admittedly) and it has largely sat in my garage except for the occasional Saturday joy ride. Unfortunately, I work a lot and I don't think this Jeep is going to be used like it deserves to be. I can tell you that it gets ALOT of attention when I take it out. The bikini top can be removed and the windshield folded forward for a very unique look. Since I have owned it, I have had steering stabilizers professionally installed on it. I honestly know very little about its history but can tell you confidently that it hasn't been taken off of the road since its restoration was completed earlier this year. It has locking hubs and brand new tires (along with everything else). The fuel gauge and temperature gauge aren't hooked up but I plan to return it to the shop to at least remedy the fuel gauge before it sells. If you have any questions I will be happy to answer them or find an answer or take more pics for you. Buyer is responsible for shipping and a $1000 deposit is due within 48 hours of listing end. The remainder of the balance is due within two weeks and the Jeep and title will be released upon full payment. Thanks for viewing! |

Weekly Recap: Hackers demonstrate auto industry's vulnerability
Sat, Jul 25 2015There's always been a certain risk associated with driving, and this week cyber security came into focus as the latest danger zone when researchers demonstrated how easily they could hack into a 2014 Jeep Cherokee from across the country. The incident raised concerns over the vulnerability of today's cars, many of which double as smartphones and hot spots. During the now-infamous experiment, Chris Valasek and Charlie Miller infiltrated the Jeep's cellular connection and were able to control the infotainment system, brakes, and other functions. The hackers told the Jeep's maker, FCA US, of their findings last year, the company devised a software fix. Though Valesek and Miller hacked a Cherokee (like the one shown above), several FCA products, including recent versions of the Ram, Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango, and Viper were also affected, illustrating potentially wide exposure that could reverberate across the sector. "For the auto industry, this is a very important event and shows that cyber-security protection is needed even sooner than previously planned," Egil Juliussen, senior analyst and research director for IHS Automotive, wrote in a research note. "Five years ago, the auto industry did not consider cyber security as a near-term problem. This view has changed." Hours after the Cherokee hacking incident was publicized on Tuesday, Sens. Ed Markey (D-Mass) and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn) introduced legislation to direct the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Federal Trade Commission to establish national standards for automotive cyber security. The bill also would require vehicles to have a cyber-rating system to alert consumers how well their cars' privacy and security are defended. "Drivers shouldn't have to choose between being connected and being protected," Markey said in a statement. "We need clear rules of the road that protect cars from hackers and American families from data trackers." Though FCA and its Jeep Cherokee were in the spotlight this time, they were just the latest to showcase how automotive technology has advanced faster than safety and regulatory measures. IHS forecasts 82.5 million cars will be connected to the internet by 2022, which is more than three times today's level. "Cyber-security will become a major challenge for the auto industry and solutions are long overdue," Juliussen said.
