I have a 1966 Kaiser Jeep CJ5 that has been restored! I bought this jeep in May of this year from an old man who owned it for 23 years, and HE knew the original owner. It was purchased at Barrington Jeep in downtown Columbus, GA. I has been kept here in Columbus its entire life. It only has 59k original miles! He took VERY good care of it mechanically so there was little to do in regards to that. He only used it as a hunting vehicle so he never did any cosmetic repairs. The day I bought it, I drove it home nearly 25 miles away and started taking it apart. I stripped it down. There was little rust. The biggest areas of rust were below the doors (the usual places). The floors were solid. After I stripped it I sent it to the paint shop. They cut out the rust areas and welded in new pieces. They stripped it to bare metal and applied a basecoat/clearcoat paint job to the original factory color. . .Spruce Tip Green! It looks AMAZING! This is a VERY NICE driver quality paint job. While it was in the paint shop I started refurbishing any old parts that could be saved and ordered new parts for the one's that couldn't be. After getting it back, I installed all the new parts, took the exterior components of the engine apart and painted or replaced what needed to be. As you can see, it looks GREAT! I even put on new original style decals on the valve covers.
This Jeep came from the factory with the super tough Buick Dauntless V-6 engine. It runs great and has plenty of power. You can't imagine how powerful this thing is! The engine does not smoke and is in great condition. The 3 speed transmission shifts great and the clutch is strong. All the lights and gauges work and so does the heater. I can't list all the items that were replaced because it would just take too long. Make no mistake, this Jeep is NICE! I had the floor sprayed with bedliner and it looks great too! I put this Jeep back to original as closely as I could! I even stenciled the original "4 Wheel Drive" emblem on the tailgate just like from the factory.
The 4 wheel drive works great and shifts in and out of gear smoothly and with ease.
I have a ton of pictures from the day I bought it, all through the restoration process and of course the finished product. Pictures do not do this Jeep justice though! I have included 2 pictures of what it looked like the day I bought it. Most of what you see is surface rust. The frame is in great condition and does not have any rot or decay. Its rock solid!
I do have the original metal hardtop and doors that will go with it. They have not been restored yet, but just need to be stripped down, prepped and painted. All Glass is good!
The 4 tires on the Jeep are in great condition and have plenty of tread. I would say they have at least 85% left and have no signs of dry rot. They ride smooth with no shake or bounce
I've driven this JEEP to work 20 miles away several times lately and it drives GREAT! I easily go 65-70 mph and it holds the road great. No play in the steering and it doesn't bounce you all over the place. It drives much nicer and handles much better than you can imagine! I have probably put about 300 miles on it since the restoration and would feel comfortable driving it just about anywhere.
Please feel free to call me at 706-325-4360 if you have any questions. I reserve the right to end the auction early unless the reserve has been met, as I do have it for sale locally

Chrysler to accelerate production of 2013 Ram and V6 engines
Fri, 16 Nov 2012Chrysler is adding a third shift at its Warren Truck plant to meet demand for the new 2013 Ram pickup. And with tight supplies of its Pentastar V6, the company is also boosting output at its Mack Engine plant.
The expansions will add 1,250 jobs and are part of a $238 million investment by Chrysler in the Detroit area. Warren's third shift will begin work sometime in the spring, a Chrysler rep told Automotive News. Mack's increased Pentastar production a could include both 3.6 and 3.2-liter engines.
The company says it also plans to invest $40 million in its Trenton Engine plant to allow for production of a 3.2-liter V6 as well as the Tigershark inline-four for the upcoming Jeep Liberty replacement.
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.
