1981 Jeep CJ-5, with 51,402 miles originally manufactured by AMC, was built back in the early 1990’s to be a force to take on trails and crawling adventures.

This mostly original Jeep has been stored in a heated garage for more than 20 years and used sparingly. However, the 2nd owner spared no expense to build up the 401 cubic inch AMC motor and drivetrain to withstand any condition.

The body is in excellent shape (REBUILT) and retains its original interior and Renegade decals on the hood. The roll bar cover and top were replaced in 2000 as Best Top equipment and are in good condition. The top color matches the original denim blue. The top windows are cloudy from the elements and could be replaced by a good top repair service or cleaned. The side doors are in excellent shape with unclouded plastic windows.

Under the hood sits a 401 CI AMC V8 (with a little over 1100 miles since built) is coupled to a T176 4-speed manual transmission. This motor was built with flat top pistons, Summit rods, Crane Off Road cam , Summit steel roller rockers, double roller timing chain, Edelbrock Torquer intake manifold, Edelbrock 750 cab, which has recently been replaced with a Holly 4 barrel with electric choke. (the Edelbrock 750 does come with it) Mallory ignition, Hooker headers, 94 Amp Alternator, Hays HD Clutch and pressure plate, Drive line by Advanced Drive Line, Mean Green starter, new gas tank, fuel pump and fuel lines installed in Aug 2023. Moser Super Duty Axles, Lock Right Lockers (front and rear) and 456 gears, Superwinch hubs, new brakes, and bearings, Warn X8000 which and off-road kit.

The Smithbilt bumpers (front – no rust and rear – little surface rust) are in great condition. The tires are 35x15.5 Super Swampers (tires are in fair condition with age cracks and average condition chrome wheels) with new internal tubes. Pro Comp 4'' lift kit. This jeep is ready for everything! The Jeep does have a tag from the State of Florida that says rebuilt, however, the 2nd owner spared no expense to get it back into top notch condition. 

This vehicle is also considered a crawling or swamping vehicle at this time. Not intended for street use unless you change out the low gearing. If you do that you have a street vehicle you can take anywhere.

Vehicle comes with all receipts and original purchase documents, books, and warranty cards. This is your chance to own a piece of Jeep history and have fun doing it. This Jeep would make a terrific addition to any collection. For more information, please contact me through the portal. I am a broker for the gentlemen who owns the Jeep.
