1961 Cj5 on 2040-cars
Irvington, Alabama, United States
|
This is a 1961 Willys Kaiser CJ5, 4 cylinder with Tuxedo Park Mark III trim, it is convertible with a folding windshield and completely open body style if desired. This jeep is part time 2 wheel drive or a part time 4 wheel drive with all new seats and belts installed recently, the paint job is not original however it is extremely nice. This particular model of the CJ5 came stock with a hood and body made of heavy gauge sheet metal, a larger windshield frame, and a new passenger car type handbrake located to the left of the driver underneath the instrument panel. There is nothing on the interior or exterior of this jeep that is damaged, no rot through rust, no exterior rust on the outer surface and minimal surface rust to the chassis that is from natural aging. It has NEVER been exposed to salt water or mud and has never been driven off road, never. The tires on this jeep have some wear on them however are still worthy of quite a few miles. The speedometer was recently replaced with an exact replica due to the temperature gauge on the original speedometer malfunctioning, the original speedometer is available also if the buyer would like to have it. The maintenance of this vehicle has been remarkable considering the Jeep's age. It has truly been babied by both of it's original owners. The Jeep was bought brand new by a Korean War Veteran in 1961. It was sold to a retired individual by the original owner in 2001. I bought it from the second owner about 2 months ago. I intended to sink a few bucks into it and fully restore this jeep however it is not something I am able to do at the present time. Here's the best part about this Jeep: IT HAS ONLY 19,000 ORIGINAL MILES ON IT!!!! This baby maneuvers like you wouldn't believe! I will give the buyer the new door skins and Bimini Top. It has a soft top as well that was recently purchased and is in excellent condition. It has been garage kept and only driven in nice weather it's entire lifetime. I have driven it about 20 or so miles since I bought it. I'm willing to negotiate with anyone who is serious about taking this winner off my hands. I am moving soon and would rather for it to go to someone who will love it as much as it's been loved over the years. The title is clear. The buyer won't be disappointed! Good Luck!!!! |

Chrysler reports $166M net income for Q1, down $307M vs. 2012
Mon, 29 Apr 2013Preliminary first-quarter results from 2013 have been announced by Chrysler, and the company is reporting a net income of $166 million on revenue of $15.4 billion. Compared to this period last year, net income is down $307 million and revenue has dropped $1 billion.
Chrysler says that its quarter was negatively affected by the costs associated with launching its 2013 Ram Heavy Duty, 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee and preparation for the return of the all-new 2014 Jeep Cherokee pictured above. The launches should provide a strong second half of 2013, says the automaker. "We remain on track to achieve our business targets, even as the first-quarter results were affected by an aggressive product launch schedule," said Chrysler Group LLC Chairman and CEO Sergio Marchionne.
On a positive note, the automaker says worldwide vehicle sales are up 8 percent from one year ago, a number pushed by a 12 percent bump in U.S. retail sales. In addition, domestic market share has risen slightly, up to 11.4 percent from 11.2 percent last year. Read more in the official statement below.
NHTSA investigating 2015 Jeep Cherokee after new owner's total-loss fire [w/video]
Fri, Jan 16 2015The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a Preliminary Evaluation into the 2015 model year Jeep Cherokee after a single example caught on fire in California. This investigation will decide the cause, scope and frequency of this possible problem and will decide whether a recall is necessary for 50,415 potentially affected examples. According to Automotive News, the Cherokee's owner only purchased the CUV about two days before the fire, and it had been driven less than 100 miles. The new buyer reported parking the Jeep, and noticed a smell like smoke. Shortly after, the vehicle was consumed in flames. There were no injuries, but much of the incident was captured on video. NHTSA is also trying to decide whether another report is related. In this case, a driver noticed smoke under the hood of a 2015 Cherokee with just 45 miles on it, while driving at 60 miles per hour. According to the complaint to the agency, "the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired," but FCA was notified. Read below NHTSA's announcement of the Preliminary Evaluation.
