1997 Jeep Wrangler 5.7l V8 on 2040-cars

Up for auction is my 1997 Jeep wrangler with a 5.7L small block Chevy 350 and a 700r4 transmission. My goal for this jeep was to make it a simple vehicle to work on as well as visually appealing and I personally believe that I have succeeded. There are no complicated fuel systems needed to diagnose or intricate computer systems to troubleshoot. Anybody who knows Chevy motors would be able to work on this jeep with no trouble. This vehicle runs and drives well. It has great low end power with the ability to cruise 80 miles on the highway no problem. This Jeep has not been abused at all. For the most part it was garage kept except on sunny days when riding to the beach. The odometer on the jeep list 195930 but I did the swap at 182000 miles so the power train only has 14,000 miles on it. I am the second owner. As soon as I purchased the Jeep I parked it in my garage and began the conversion. The reason I am selling is because of the lack of use it gets in my possession.  The majority of the 4 years I’ve owned it, it just sits in the garage. So I would like to now use that space to build a caf? racer. Here’s a list of a few of the main specs/mods I have done:

If you would like a specific picture to be taken, message me and I will try to take it as soon as possible.

I understand that it may be a little intimidating to buy a vehicle so I am trying to make it as easy as possible so I have created a video for your viewing pleasure. These are not the best quality videos but it can give you something to judge off of before you come see the jeep.

There aren’t many flaws at all on this jeep, but I want to be open with the jeep so the only ones I can find are a small scratch on the driver door. The Pulley kit comes with the AC Compressor and the Jeep’s OEM setup had A/C as well, I just haven’t had the work done to finish the setup. It really just needs an accumulator and a shop to hook up the hoses to the compressor. With the windows down or doors off, I never had a need for A/C but at least you know its not too much more work needed to get A/C if necessary. And the driver sun panel may need to be stitched up (seen in the pictures).

I have a clean title in hand. This jeep is road ready. Bring cash and your own license plate and drive it home if you want. Keep in mind that this is a FL jeep so I have not had to have any emissions tests. Buyer is responsible for researching their state's registration requirements. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask or come and see it for yourself. 

I will need a non refundable $500 paypal deposit within 24 hours of auction ending and the rest of the payment within 7 days of auction ending.  I’ll accept cash or cashier checks for payment.
