Birmingham, Alabama, United States
|
You are viewing a super solid and all original1981 CJ-5 Renegade. This Jeep was purchased new at Tupelo Datsun/American Motors in Tupelo, Mississippi. The original MSRP was $9479.00. Optional equipment is as follows, Renegade package, 258 6 cylinder engine, rear traction lock differential, power steering, power front disc brakes, tilt steering wheel, blue denim soft top, and draw bar with hitch. This CJ still wears its original Olympic white paint, Renegade stripes/decals, and blue denim Whitco soft top! It truly is an unbelievable survivor that has been untouched by its only two owners. The body is rock solid with no rust repair ever. It is laser straight too with no dents anywhere! The paint is 33 years old but still looks amazing! It is very obvious that this Jeep has been garaged and pampered its entire life! Even the original Whitco soft top looks great! There is absolutely no evidence of previous accident damage, rust repair, patch panels, bonds, etc. this Jeep really is beautiful. You could search for years and years and still not find a CJ that is this original and clean!
Mechanically, this Jeep is super sound. It has just 99K miles from new but could pass for a Jeep with half the miles. It starts up easily and runs absolutely perfect. The motor sounds super smooth and does not run hot, knock, tick, etc. it pulls strong through the gears and is a pleasure to drive. The T 176 4 speed transmission shifts perfectly and the 4WD works as it should. The alternator, starter, solenoid, battery cables, etc. are new. I have a receipt for the tires when they were purchased by the original owner back in 1990! They now have about 23K miles on them and are still in good shape. Absolutely everything works on this Jeep including the lights, gauges, turn signals, wipers,horn, heater, blower motor, etc. The Jeep drives down the road nice and straight and is super quiet too. Again, this is as nice of an unrestored time capsule CJ-5 as you will ever find for my reserve price. I have the original owners manual, books, window sticker, service records, bikini top, top parade boot, jack, etc. If you have been searching for a beautiful unmolested Jeep then you've found it. Now is your chance to own this appreciating classic. Many of my auctions end with just a phone call. I can arrange shipping worldwide. 205-276-1918. |

Next Jeep Wrangler to keep solid axles
Mon, Feb 16 2015Jeep fans, you're not out of the woods yet, but the latest news is good: Automotive News reports that the next-generation Wrangler will stick with floating solid axles front and rear. Fiat-Chrysler wouldn't comment on the report, but the theory is that the combination of cost, capability, and ease of modification were deciding factors. We're sure the multibillion dollar aftermarket industry is also pleased. Remember, Jeep showed off the lifted Cherokee Dakar Concept at the Easter Jeep Safari last year, but the first ingredient in the recipe for jacking up its independent suspension was, "a whole new suspension." Above that there will be an aluminum body that's smaller than the current one, which Allpar says could be done with a narrower track and tighter gaps. It will sport a fixed windshield with increased rake to improve aero efficiency, and while there are rumors of a diesel-engined version that we'll finally get in the US, there's been no reliable info as of yet to back that up.

BMW tops Consumer Reports 2023 Brand Report Card
Thu, Feb 16 2023Feels like we wrote about Consumer Reports' 2022 Brand Report Car and 10 Top Picks a few weeks ago, but it was last April. So the mag is back with a ranked roster of 32 brands and 10 vehicles in four categories for your debating pleasure. Starting with the brands, last year's top three were Subaru, Mazda and BMW. This year, the Munich crew climbed two spots to win the prize thanks to "Superb road test scores and solid results in CR’s reliability and owner satisfaction surveys." Subaru narrowly fell to second, maintaining its four-year run in the top three. Mini, eighth last year, jumped five spots to get the last step on the podium. The rest of the top 10 were Lexus (up one spot from last year), Honda (down one spot from last year), Toyota (up three), Genesis (up 12), Mazda (down six), Audi (down three) and Kia (up eight). The magazine and testing outfit says its Brand Report Card "[reveals] which automakers are producing the most well-performing, safe, and reliable vehicles based on CRÂ’s independent testing and member surveys," and that "Brands that rise to the top tend to have the most consistent performance across their model lineups." Last year's top 10 had six automakers from Japan, three from Germany (giving Mini credit for England), none from the U.S. or South Korea, and five luxury brands. This year's list counts five makes from Japan, two from Germany because Porsche fell out of the top ten, two from South Korea, still none from the U.S., and four luxury brands. Buick again ranked as the best domestic, dropping to 12th after being 11th last year. The big mover was Lincoln, its 10-place jump up to 16th attributed to better reliability from the Corsair and Nautilus. Tesla's improved overall reliability saw it climb six spots to 17th. Dodge climbed one spot to 15th. Jeep got out of the penalty box in last to come second-to-last. Land Rover fell three places into the penalty spot. CR's top 10 vehicle models The 10 Top Picks list is practically a new list. Only two holdovers made it to 2023, those being the Subaru Forester and Kia Telluride.
