No Reserve Auction!! 1981 Jeep CJ5 LAREDO This Jeep CJ5 is a beautiful original classic gets a lot of comments everywhere I go to. I got it from one of my brothers medical colleagues who purchased it from his mother 12 years ago. He rarely drove it and it sat on his ranch in his barn for years (he drove it less then 2k miles total). Last week, I drove it to Denver 2x, once to Central City and to the mountains yesterday to take photos of it for this auction. I had 3 people comment on it yesterday when I pulled up into Starbucks. The Jeep starts right up, drives smooth and doesn't have any vibrations, shimmy or problems keeping up with traffic in town, on the highway or in the mountains. Engine: 258 4.2L 6cylinder motor that runs great, is very peppy and runs great. Overall the motor runs great, I don't notice any leaks on the ground after driving and it does not smoke. The Valve cover gasket has the classic leak and will need to be replaced sometime. Transmission/Transfer Case: 4spd T176 Manual Transmission that shifts perfect, no play in the transmission and no grinding or crunching. The Clutch is very tight, responsive and does not slip. The transfer case shifts easily in and out of 4x4. It is a Dana 300. Drivetrain/suspension: The Jeep drives excellent and has that soft tight stock suspension. There aren't any loud clunks or noises, it is very smooth. The drivetrain and suspension are completely stock. The power steering is super sensitive and the brakes stop the jeep easily. Interior Controls/Switches: Everything in the interior works including the gauges, speedometer, odometer, wipers and blinkers. The horn, cig lighter and heater do not work(I will check the fuses) the radio powers up but there is no sound. The Tilt Steering makes it easier to get in and out. Paint/Body/Rust: The paint is Copper Brown Metallic with Laredo Striping. It is original paint that looks great and super reflective, shows a lot of luster and is shiny. The front drivers fender was replaced along with the windshield frame at one point. The front clip fenders have sand chips. The body has 2 small areas of rust in the rear of the tub, a bit of surface rust on the side of the passenger front fender and on the interior under the drivers retractable seat belt(it is thru under it). Overall very clean, view photos and ask a question to see more pictures from photobucket.com, I have approx 100 more photos to share. Interior: The interior is beautiful, the nutmeg seats are in great condition along with the carpets. The seats are clean and only the drivers seat has seem separations. The seats are discolored a bit from sitting in the sun and so are the tops of the rear wheel well carpets but overall the seats, dash and interior is in great condition. The passenger visor is broken. The interior paint is in excellent condition. The dash pad is solid except on the corners (view photos). Beautiful color combination. Bestop Soft top and Doors: The nutmeg bestop soft top is in great condition with clear windows and no significant rips or tears. There looks to be a couple spots that were repaired but overall the top and doors are in excellent shape. All zippers work with ease and the top seals to prevent leakage in the elements. Tires/Wheels: This are the original 15x8 Chrome Jeep wagon wheels with Center Caps. The Chrome is original and the clear coat has never been removed on them. The spare wheel does show some clear coat peeling in places however the other 4 do not. The spare tire looks to be original and is dry rotting on the side wall. The tires have a couple years life remaining on them, I'd say 65-70% left. Additional Photos: Ask a questions and I will provide a link to view more photos of the Jeep at photobucket. eBay will no longer allow seller to post a clickable links on our auctions. Overall: This is a beautiful and Rare CJ5 Laredo Jeep in Copper. It is ready to go and will make a great daily driver, weekend warrior, summer adventurer or an addition to your collection. The CJ5 is used and 33 years old, so it may have blemishes I didn't capture on my camera or missed. I do my best to illustrate the condition, I may have missed something so be sure to ask all questions you have prior to bidding or winning the Jeep. The Jeep is being sold as is, where is, without warranty or guarantees. I am not required for your state emission or safety inspections including Colorado. Shipping: If you are out of state and need to have this Jeep shipped, call M&E Auto Transport #606-354-3643. Michael is great to work with and offers competitive pricing, quick pickup and delivery. He has helped me on a couple cars I have bought as well as sold and shipped. Conclusion: A $500 non refundable deposit is due within 24 hours of the conclusion of the auction via paypal. All sales are final. The final payment must be received within 7 days of auction end time. Payment options include cash upon pickup, Electronic Bank Transfer or Wire Transfer. I have sold multiple cars on ebay and can provide references if necessary. I reserve the right to remove the auction at anytime as this Jeep is listed for sale locally as well.

This incredibly detailed toy Jeep will set you back $2,300 [w/video]
Wed, Dec 30 2015When I was a kid, I desperately wanted one of those Power Wheels Ford-badged Big Foot impersonators. They were far cooler than my lousy, plastic Big Wheel trike. This 1/8-scale electric Jeep takes the Power Wheels idea to a fanatical level. For one, the Capo Racing Jeep is as true to the real Wrangler as is possible in a 1/8-scale vehicle. Everything works, from the three-speed automatic transmission to the transfer case to the locking differentials. It uses a body-on-frame design with a real, metal multi-link suspension. In the cabin, the seats recline and the instruments light up. It has to be one of the most remarkable miniatures we've ever laid eyes on. Of course, that all comes at a price. As our chums at Jalopnik point out, for $2,300 you could pick up a full-size Wrangler. It'd be battered, sure, but it'd be something you could take on actual roads. Check out the fully gallery of images and official details over on the Capo Racing website. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

Which electric cars can charge at a Tesla Supercharger?
Sun, Jul 9 2023The difference between Tesla charging and non-Tesla charging. Electrify America; Tesla Tesla's advantage has long been its charging technology and Supercharger network. Now, more and more automakers are switching to Tesla's charging tech. But there are a few things non-Tesla drivers need to know about charging at a Tesla station. A lot has hit the news cycle in recent months with regard to electric car drivers and where they can and can't plug in. The key factor in all of that? Whether automakers switched to Tesla's charging standard. More car companies are shifting to Tesla's charging tech in the hopes of boosting their customers' confidence in going electric. Here's what it boils down to: If you currently drive a Tesla, you can keep charging at Tesla charging locations, which use the company's North American Charging Standard (NACS), which has long served it well. The chargers are thinner, more lightweight and easier to wrangle than other brands. If you currently drive a non-Tesla EV, you have to charge at a non-Tesla charging station like that of Electrify America or EVgo — which use the Combined Charging System (CCS) — unless you stumble upon a Tesla charger already equipped with the Magic Dock adapter. For years, CCS tech dominated EVs from everyone but Tesla. Starting next year, if you drive a non-Tesla EV (from the automakers that have announced they'll make the switch), you'll be able to charge at all Supercharger locations with an adapter. And by 2025, EVs from some automakers won't even need an adaptor. Here's how to charge up, depending on which EV you have: Ford 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E. Tim Levin/Insider Ford was the earliest traditional automaker to team up with Tesla for its charging tech. Current Ford EV owners — those driving a Ford electric vehicle already fitted with a CCS port — will be able to use a Tesla-developed adapter to access Tesla Superchargers starting in the spring. That means that, if you own a Mustang Mach-E or Ford F-150 Lightning, you will need the adapter in order to use a Tesla station come 2024. But Ford will equip its future EVs with the NACS port starting in 2025 — eliminating the need for any adapter. Owners of new Ford EVs will be able to pull into a Supercharger station and juice up, no problem. General Motors Cadillac Lyriq. Cadillac GM will also allow its EV drivers to plug into Tesla stations.
Jeep Wrangler diesel likely after 2015 model refresh
Thu, 28 Feb 2013We automotive journalists aren't always the right people to ask about whether a US-spec vehicle should or should not be offered with a diesel powertrain (hint: the answer is usually "YES"). But when it comes to the iconic, off-road-ready Jeep Wrangler, we aren't the only ones who have been clamoring for an oil-burning engine behind that famous seven-slat grille. To that end, it appears there's good news on the horizon, as Jeep CEO Mike Manley recently told Ward's Auto that the "Wrangler is on the radar to get (a) diesel."
"I'm confident that the Grand Cherokee will show just how large a demand there is for diesel, and I think what that will do is reinforce the need for us to target Wrangler as a vehicle that can take a diesel," Manley told Ward's. The most rugged of Jeeps is scheduled to get an overhaul around 2015-16, and the diesel powertrain will likely be introduced around that time.
This year alone, Chrysler will be adding a diesel engine to the Grand Cherokee SUV, as well as the Ram 1500 pickup and Promaster utility van.
