1978 Jeep Cj5 Chevy V8 Currie Dana 60 And Ford 9in Custom Frame 37's on 2040-cars

Year:1978 Mileage:115000
Location:

Coopersburg, Pennsylvania, United States

Coopersburg, Pennsylvania, United States

 I will be listing this Jeep 1 time.  If It does not sell, I will keep it and work on it over the winter.  Like most Jeeps, this one needs some minor things to be 100%  I just don't have time for the Jeep right now.  I own 7 Jeeps.

Every Jeep has a story and so does this one.  The person that re-built the Jeep was in NY.  He sold it to a guy in DE.  The Jeep had a Chevy 406 small block with over 500hp.  Way too much for a tall CJ5.  That person took the 406 out and sold it to me with a Chevy 305 V8.

I suggest you look at the Jeep if you are serious and close enough by.  It's garage kept in Coopersburg PA 18036. Clear title in my name.

Jeep can be shipped.  YOU MAKE ALL THE ARRANGEMENTS.  There will be a $300 fee on top for shipping.  The shipper normally comes on a week day and I need to take off work.  Shipper cannot make it to my rural house, so I have to pay someone to rollback it to a shopping center.  Jeep is not insured, registered, or inspected.  It will pass, except I don't think the horn is hooked up. 

Now for the Jeep:

Had a brand new frame, no rust.  Think it's by Advance Frame Works, over 2k

Unknown make fiberglass body and front end.  Nice paint, except drivers fender needs repaint.

Nice Best top soft top and soft doors.

Currie built Shaved Ford 9 inch front rear, Detroit Locker, 3.73 gears

Currie built Hi Pinion Dana 60, disk brakes, e brake, Detroit Locker, 3.73 gears  These rears over 9k for the pair.  They look brand new yet.

Custom front shaft, CV rear shaft

Has stainless hinges and mirrors

Custom front bumper with 11k Quadratec Winch and 8 inch Hella lights

Custom rear bumper with tire carrier.  I have a brand new 37in MTR for it, but no rim.  A rim is $70.  Bumpers and winch/lights $1500

Oversize 25 gallon fuel tank, custom skid, reverse lights, LED rock lights, sunken rear tail lights, Rocker Gaurds

Vanco power brake system, stops awesome with 4 wheel disc, over $500

Aluminum radiator with electric fan, over $700

GM SM465 granny 4 speed trans with adapter to Dana 300 twin sticked, 1k for that setup with adapter

New flywheel, Center Force clutch, hedders, nice custom Flow Master exhaust system out the rear

Chevy 305.  I don't know much about the motor.  Motor runs good, has new 327/350hp cam, new oil pan, new holley 600, HEI distributor.  Motor actually surprised me with the power, new plugs, MSD wire, cap and rotor.  The oil pan is dry and so is the rear main seal.  The power steering pump has a leak at the rear connection and I think the valve cover has a leak.

Interior has a custom dash, but is missing 2 gauges.  Wires are there for the gauges.  Needs  Volt and temp gauge.  Oil pressure is 60 - 80lbs when running.

PAINLESS wiring harness

Tilt wheel, tuffy steel center console with a CD player and amp.  Speakers in dash and on the floor. 

Seat covers are a little faded, there are harnesses for seatbelts.  Has a rear seat

Has a full roll cage tied into the frame.  The spreader bars are too far in and right over your head.  Bars need to be mover toward the outside.

Rims are brand new steel $300

Tires are Goodyear MTR.  The 4 on the Jeep all have over 1/2 tread and they are radial 37 x 12.5 x 17  spare is Brand New

Has a AGR steering box and borgenson steering shaft $500

Dual shocks up front, dual stabilizers

Has working heater

I'm sure there is more I'm missing.

Needs rollbar spreaders moved, some gauges in dash, stereo wires hooked up. Needs battery

The AGR box is a quick ratio.  I can sit at idle and turn the steering wheel with my pinky and turn the 37's.  This makes for some touching steering while going down the road.  I would put a stock box in and sell that AGR.  I can drive it, I've had over 20 Jeeps.  I had a computer alignment and it's right on.

Fix the one or two small leaks.  Oil pan and rear main is good, don't think intake is leaking.

Original owner lifted the Jeep with spring under springs.  The pack consists of 12 leafs.  Also has about 1 1/2inch body lift.  I would take some springs out of the pack or just buy 4 new BDS springs and drop it down a little. 

That's an honest description of this Jeep.  I have 100 percent feedback.

The frame and rears are less then the starting bid.  Like I said, I will keep it if it doesn't sell and work on it over the winter. 

I do have a trailer.  I can deliver the Jeep, with full payment, up to 150 miles for $2 a loaded mile.  Can store, with full payment for up to 2 weeks.

Work at a Chrysler dealership, get free college education

Mon, May 4 2015

The cost of a college education in the US can put a student tens (hundreds, in some cases) of thousands of dollars into debt. FCA US wants to give its dealership employees a leg up, though, and the automaker is now offering a completely free education to them through a partnership with Strayer University. The workers can take any of the college's classes online or on campus through program called Degrees@Work. Currently, the offer is only available to employees Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram and Fiat dealers in the automaker's Southeast region, which includes Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Alabama and Tennessee. However, a national expansion will happen before the end of the year, Strayer spokesperson Cristina Henley tells Autoblog. The program will cover all of the students' expenses, including their books, according to Henley. FCA US sees this partnership as a way to improve the talent of its workforce, retain employees longer and possibly attract people wanting to take advantage of this free education. "Many of our dealers have expressed concern over the availability of talent to fill open positions due to business growth and turnover in their stores, especially in metro markets," Al Gardner, the company's Head of Dealer Network Development, said in the Degrees@Work announcement. Strayer has about 40 programs available, including in business administration, accounting, marketing, and more, and the university offers associate's, bachelor's, and master's degrees. It will also give FCA US employees credit for their work experience to get them a diploma even more quickly. FCA US Dealers to Offer Employees No-Cost, No-Debt College Education FCA US teams with Strayer University to develop first-of-its-kind dealer program Degrees@Work program open to all employees of participating dealerships Employees can earn no-cost, no-debt degree through Strayer University All Chrysler, Jeep®, Dodge, Ram and FIAT dealerships may participate First phase of program rollout begins with dealers in the FCA US Southeast Business Center National rollout expected later this year May 4, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - Employees of Chrysler, Jeep®, Dodge, Ram and FIAT dealerships will have the unique opportunity to earn a no-cost, no-debt college degree through Strayer University's Degrees@Work program, developed in collaboration with FCA US LLC. FCA US is the only company in the automotive industry to offer the program.

2014 Jeep Cherokee musters 22 MPG city, 31 highway

Thu, 05 Sep 2013

Production and media drive delays included, there has been no lack of press surrounding the 2014 Jeep Cherokee. With the most recent delay reportedly due to powertrain calibrations, we've been waiting to see how the Cherokee's fuel economy looks against the highly competitive compact CUV segment. Thanks to the EPA, we now know the fuel economy figures for the newest member of the Jeep family.
Arguably, the Cherokee has the most modern powertrain in its class with an updated base engine, all-new V6 and all-new nine-speed automatic transmission, but its fuel economy figures are simply on par for the segment. Still nothing to scoff at, though. According to fueleconomy.gov, front-wheel-drive Cherokee models with the base four-cylinder mill will top out the lineup with 22 miles per gallon in the city and 31 mpg on the highway; opting for four-wheel drive with this engine drops the figures to 21 city and 28 highway. Get even crazier with the option list, and the new 3.2-liter Pentastar V6 will get you 19 mpg city and 28 mpg highway in two-wheel-drive form or 19 city and 27 highway for 4WD.
If you're wondering how that stacks up among compact CUVs, head on over to Automobile Magazine for a full fuel economy breakdown for the segment. The controversially styled crossover hits dealers this month, and we'll be driving it in just a couple of weeks.

Mopar introduces winter tire and wheel packages

Wed, Dec 2 2015

Winter is coming, and Mopar will try to help drivers stay safe in the cold weather this year by offering a winter tire and wheel package for a variety of FCA US vehicles for the first time. The packages combine everything drivers need to be prepared for slick roads, including winter tires, steel wheels, and Tire Pressure Monitoring System sensors. Even better, the company delivers them mounted, balanced, and ready for installation. Customers can order the bundles from dealers now. Mopar offers packages with the General Altimax Arctic tire on the Dodge Caravan, Chrysler Town & Country, Jeep Cherokee, and Chrysler 200. All- and rear-wheel drive configurations of the Chrysler 300 get the Michelin X-Ice Xi3, and the all- and rear-drive Dodge Charger models use the Continental WinterContact SI. Depending on the vehicle, prices vary between $242 and $292 per wheel, and Mopar will expand the program to even more models next year. Spending the extra money on winter tires really can make a difference. Experts are clear that the specialized rubber simply works better when the weather gets cold. They can shorten braking distances and improve traction – even with all-wheel drive. Plus, winter tires can often last for more than one year, which spreads out the investment. ALL-NEW MOPAR WINTER WHEEL ASSEMBLIES DELIVER ADDITIONAL COLD-WEATHER CONTROL 01/12/15 from Mopar Print this page Add this release to Your Downloads Mopar winter wheel assemblies include winter tire, steel rim, Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Assemblies delivered mounted, balanced, ready to install December 1, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - Winter is coming and just in time, so are all-new Mopar winter wheel assemblies. The all-new Mopar winter wheel assemblies are available for order for a variety of FCA US vehicles. Assemblies include a winter tire, steel rim and Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), and are delivered mounted and balanced, so you or your dealership can quickly and easily pop off all-season rims and rubber and put on cold-weather appropriate gear. "Mopar is rolling out our first-ever offering of winter wheel assemblies for those customers who desire a little extra control during the cold weather seasons," said Pietro Gorlier, Head of Parts and Service (Mopar), FCA – Global.
