I am offering up for sale one of the nicest Jeeps I have ever owned.
CONDITION:
This Jeep runs and drives like a dream. Just turn the key and it immediately comes alive. The original owner bought this Jeep just before retirement. He claimed that it never saw a winter being that they were snowbirds (had one house in Idaho and one in Arizona). The mileage of 75,500 are original miles and the original owner stated that half of those miles were towed miles. Just drive this Jeep and see its condition and you will know that he was telling the truth. There is absolutely NO RUST on this Jeep. It has always been in the dry climates of Idaho and Arizona. It is extremely rare to find a Jeep of this age and in its original condition with No Rust. As you can tell by the pictures, it is nearly flawless. The Laredo stickers are in great shape and there are a few small light surface scratches and no dents. You will have a hard time finding one this nice and in this great of condition.
The only thing that this Jeep is missing is the original Air Conditioning. The original owner had it removed because he did not believe air conditioning should have come in a Jeep in the first place. If the Jeep doesn't sell, I am going to keep it and put in an aftermarket Vintage Air system. (Vintage Air will be more reliable than trying to find the original compressor anyway). As you can see, the mounts for the air conditioning compressor are still attached to the engine block, so the addition of the compressor would be simple. I drive this Jeep daily and it is a blast to be in. It gets looks all the time. The Laredo package on this CJ5 doesn't end with the decals, it also has the upgraded steering wheel, custom leather seats and leather grab bar, ash tray on the dash, badging, clock, etc. All the gauges work as they should and the last trip I took which was about 150 miles, I got about 16 miles to the gallon at @ 60-65 mph. (With the 4 speed, I could have traveled faster. RPM Gauge was reading just under 2,000 RPM's at 65 mph).
The Four Wheel Drive works as it should and it as well as the transmission shifts perfect, just like new. In the time that I have owned this Jeep, it has been very reliable and I would not have a problem driving this across the country (as long as the weather is nice). As are most CJ5's, it can be a little squirrely with the Power Steering, however, I got used to it really quick and as mentioned above, I have traveled long distances with it at a fast pace.
FEATURES:
Jeep comes with the original 1981 Jeep Owners Manual, soft top with full soft doors, soft half doors, good tire life left on the All-Terrain BFGoodrich Tires, Original Factory Wheels, the original owner owned this Jeep until this year. I admit, I got a great deal on it and if I do not sell it, I will keep it. It is worth every penny and more of my Buy It Now price. The lucky new owner of this Jeep will be in Heaven and be the envy of many. That is how great this Jeep is. The Jeep has not been lifted. When I bought it, I had a local spring shop re-arch the front springs so that the Jeep would sit level. The springs are still in the stock original location. The Jeep also has the stock Posi-Trac in the Rear. It does not leak any fluids what-so-ever. Oil changes were done regularly with 10-30 Valvoline and K&N Oil Filters.
I am sure that I am missing something, so if you have any questions or comments, just send them my way and I will answer them. I can also take more pics if you want to see something specific that are not in the pics in the ad. As you can see by my feedback, I am very honest and truthful in describing what I am selling. This ad is no exception. You will not be disappointed with this Jeep.
Shipping is at the owners expense, however, I will do what I can to help load the Jeep. Good Luck. Thanks for looking at my auction. You can call or text me at 2O8.869.9927. I am in Idaho.

Georgia judge slashes verdict to $40M in Jeep fire case
Wed, Jul 29 2015A judge in Georgia has drastically reduced the damages that Fiat Chrysler Automobiles will have to pay to the family of Remington Walden, who a court said died as a result of the unsafe design of one of its vehicles. While the jury originally awarded the family $150 million at FCA's expense, Judge J. Kevin Chason cut that amount to $40 million, the Detroit News reported. The automaker may still appeal the verdict. The case dates to March 2012, when a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee in which four-year-old Walden was riding was rear-ended by another vehicle. Due to what the jury ruled was an unsafe fuel tank, a fire erupted, and Walden died in the fire. The family's lawyers successfully argued that the automaker knew there was a problem and didn't take sufficient action to address the issue, while FCA countered that its vehicles met the applicable safety standards when they were built. The jury found FCA 99 percent responsible for the fire and Walden's death, reserving the final one percent for the driver who caused the crash. The court awarded the Waldens $150 million in damages to be paid by the automaker: $120 million for wrongful death, and a further $30 million for pain and suffering. FCA, however, argued that the damages were disproportionate to the incident, noting that the $120 million was 11 times higher and the $30 million four times higher than any comparable awards upheld on appeal in the state. Chason agreed and cut the penalties extensively. The Walden family has reportedly accepted the reduced verdict. But according to the News, company spokesman Michael Palese said, "The reduction in the damage awards does not cure the many errors that tainted this verdict and denied FCA US a fair trial. We are considering our legal options." News Source: The Detroit NewsImage Credit: Jeep Government/Legal Recalls Jeep lawsuit court
FCA fibbed on sales according to internal report
Mon, Jul 25 2016Following last week's news that Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) is under investigation by the Department of Justice and Securities and Exchange Commission for allegedly fudging sales figures, a new report in Automotive News says an internal investigation at FCA uncovered misreported sales. According to the AN story, 5,000 to 6,000 vehicles from various FCA brands were reported sold by dealers, but no customers existed for those cars. FCA sales chief Reid Bigland has already put a stop to the practice. One potential reason for the practice was to maintain the company's month-to-month sales increase streak, currently at 75 months. In April, FCA added a lengthy disclaimer to its sales announcements: "FCA US reported vehicle sales represent sales of its vehicles to retail and fleet customers, as well as limited deliveries of vehicles to its officers, directors, employees and retirees. Sales from dealers to customers are reported to FCA US by dealers as sales are made on an ongoing basis through a new vehicle delivery reporting system that then compiles the reported data as of the end of each month. "Sales through dealers do not necessarily correspond to reported revenues, which are based on the sale and delivery of vehicles to the dealers. In certain limited circumstances where sales are made directly by FCA US, such sales are reported through its management reporting system." FCA did not provide comment to Automotive News.

MotorWeek reviews '83 American Motors lineup
Wed, Mar 18 2015The 30th anniversary of American Motors' 1987 sale to Chrysler by Renault is just a few years away. AMC is long dead, but for its latest peek in the archives, MotorWeek winds back the clock to somewhat happier times. Take a look at the entire AMC lineup from 1983, including its models from Jeep and Renault. The Jeeps, and to a lesser extent, the AMC Eagle, enjoy a cult following today, but it's amazing how many of these other vehicles are now practically forgotten. Even the big debut in '83 of the Renault Alliance is largely ignored. Although with a ludicrous amount of body roll and a 55-horsepower 1.4-liter engine, it's probably rightly buried.
