1978 Jeep Cj5 Base Sport Utility 2-door 4.2l on 2040-cars
Columbia, South Carolina, United States

This was my fathers jeep. He bought it from a hunting buddy in 1980 and had it until his death in 2012. The car lived in Northern California until September 2013 and never saw rain. He would take it out of the garage for hunting season, tow it to his campsite, and tow it back to his garage when hunting season was over. Of the 42K miles, I would estimate that 1/3 to 1/2 of those miles were put on the jeep with the engine off being towed behind his truck.
The jeep has been outfitted for hunting. There is a rifle rack between the driver and passenger side. Fog lights were added. A Warn Winch ($1000?) was installed sometime in the last 5 years or so. The soft top is in mint condition as are the doors. I think the only time they were ever used was to ship the Jeep from Northern California to South Carolina. The back seat has never been used. The glove compartment was removed to install the rifle rack and is in perfect condition. I had a new battery put in during a full service in September 2013. Also had a new ignition switch put in. There is also a tow hitch-bar that can be used to tow the jeep behind your truck or RV. Everything works with the exception of the gas gauge. I do not know what is wrong with it. The rear view mirror is missing. My father may have removed it for better visibility while hunting. The tires have great tread on them, more than 60%, and appear to be fine, however, they have been on the jeep as long as I can remember (25+ years) and the new owner may want to change them out. My father was meticulous and the Jeep has been well cared for. I've put about 100 miles on it since September, and it runs great, very responsive. Since my fathers death, I've learned many things about him that are extremely unpleasant and I can't look at this jeep without those reminders, so I am selling it.It is very fun to drive. If you are looking for a well built AMC jeep with low miles that has been well cared for, please feel free to email me with any questions. Please request additional pictures and I will take an upload. Shipping is buyers responsibility however I will assist with shipping if needed. |

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee gets surprisingly comprehensive update, new diesel power
Mon, 14 Jan 2013Traditionally, automotive journalists can be heard muttering something to the effect of "Geeze, it's about time!" whenever a vehicle's midcycle refresh is revealed. As we routinely see and drive new models many months before the public even claps eyes on them in showrooms - and then go on to tweeze apart their minutia in our daily writings - perhaps some impatience is to be expected. With so much exposure to a given vehicle, it's fair to say we tire of most cars and trucks far more quickly than the average consumer.
The alterations are handsome, if not subtle touches from the "If It Ain't Broke" school of design.
Which is why we're pleased to say "Oh, is it time for that already?" when it comes to the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The current WK2 Grand Cherokee hit the market in 2011 and climbed its way into our hearts with its rugged good looks, go-anywhere capability and surprising refinement. We're not yet tired of its appearance or performance, but even so, we're very glad to see Chrysler giving its flagship Jeep some attention, including a much-anticipated diesel powertrain option and some other economy-minded measures.
Chrysler 3.0L EcoDiesel V6: Autoblog Technology of the Year finalist
Wed, 19 Nov 2014Offering a diesel engine in an American pickup is anything but new - Ford, General Motors and Chrysler all offer excellent and almost impossibly powerful oil-burning engines in their various fullsize trucks. What is new and novel about the 3.0L EcoDiesel, though, is its size, and the variety of vehicles that use it. It's the smallest engine, as far as displacement is concerned, currently offered in a large truck in the US, and, for 2014 and 2015, it is available in the Ram 1500 and the Jeep Grand Cherokee.
Though it may be small, it's got muscle. While 240 horsepower isn't particularly impressive these days, the engine's 420 pound-feet of torque more than makes up for that. The torque rating is even greater force than even the big 5.7-liter Hemi can muster. Chrysler's well-regarded eight-speed automatic transmission makes the most of all that bull-headed pulling power in both the Ram and Grand Cherokee. Chrysler claims the Ram EcoDiesel 1500 can tow as much as 9,200 pounds when properly equipped, which makes it "90-percent of the Hemi with a night and day difference in fuel economy."
Make no mistake; it's that promise of a sizable fuel economy improvement that many long-haul truckers will be most interested in. In the Ram 1500 that we tested for our Tech of the Year competition, the diesel engine costs $2,850 more than the gas-fed V8, and Ram estimates that EcoDiesel buyers will pay off their investment when compared to the Hemi engine in less than three years, which is considerably less time than the 4.5 or so years the average buyer will keep his or her fullsize pickup. The more you drive, the more you'll save, and the math proves equally as effective in the Jeep Grand Cherokee.
Jeep will show new Grand Wagoneer to dealers this summer
Mon, Jun 8 2015It's generally accepted that the Jeep Cherokee was the first real midsize sport utility vehicle to make headway into the hearts, minds and driveways of American consumers in 1984. While that SUV was aimed at the mainstream, it could be argued that the vehicle that made the idea of a luxury SUV possible was the seminal Jeep Grand Wagoneer. We've been hearing rumblings of a revived Grand Wagoneer for years, but if a report from Automotive News is accurate (despite the fact that it seemingly contradicts an earlier report from the same outlet), the wait may nearly be over. Jeep plans to show off its new Grand Wagoneer at the upcoming dealer show in Las Vegas in August, and while that doesn't give any real indication of when such a vehicle may make it into the hands of consumers, such news probably at least means the automaker has a finalized design. While we're mostly over retro-inspired cars, we'll happily cast a vote toward a three-row Grand Wagoneer with faux woodie body sides, if anyone cares to tally it...
