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

April Fools' Day brings Jeep Sedan, Hyundai N Roadster, Toyota Yaris pickup and more

Mon, Apr 1 2019

There is one day out of the year when public relations professionals have permission to lie to journalists and to the public: April Fools' Day. Manufacturers release details about wild, weird and wacky new technology, concept vehicles and services. Some take it to obvious outlandish extremes (Jeep Sedan anybody?), while others plot to mislead with products that are just outside the realm of possibility. Check out all the "jokes" below. BMW Motorrad BMW doesn't want to exclude anybody from experiencing the thrill of high-level racing, so it is introducing 'iRace" autonomous programming on its S 1000 RR sport bike. It includes beginner, sportsman, advanced and unlimited driving modes, and stores GPS information for all Superbike world championship tracks. Hyundai Hyundai is wrong for this. The Hyundai N Roadster is the work of South Korean designer Yeonjoon Park and features a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, rear-wheel drive and a hard convertible top. Hyundai says this is a "concept (for now)," but we think it'd make a seriously great Mazda Miata competitor. Honda Honda wins the award for the best interactive gimmick, as its press release for the '90s-inspired special-edition Pastport includes a live hotline number with a message from Fred Savage. Call 1-833-PASTPORT for more information. Jeep Put the Jeep Cherokee face on the Chrysler 300's body, and voila! The 2019 Jeep Sedan is born. We can't decide if the name or the rendering is better. Land Rover Accessibility to charging ports is of major concern to anybody with a plug-in vehicle. So, with the recent launch of the Range Rover P400e and Range Rover Sport P400e, Land Rover is putting forth an effort to install more stations around the globe. First up is Scotland's Isle of Skye. Adventurers need juice too! Lexus Australia Lexus expands its Encore service to include doggos. The new service, called Enpaw, will take pups to luxury boarding kennels in style. Toyota U.S. Toyota created the Yaris Adventure pickup for "those who want to tell their friends they own a truck but never veer off pavement." It's part Mazda 2, part RAV4, 100 percent ute and it looks ... great? Creating a new segment might be all fun and games to Toyota, but Ford is reportedly considering a Focus-based ute in a similar, albeit larger, style. Toyota Australia Toyota is launching a new HiAce van, and it's already getting a limited-edition variant called the PieAce.

Train derailment leaves Jeep, GMC, Chevy pickups damaged in Nevada

Thu, Jul 11 2019

An unfortunate train derailment is causing some inevitable delays for pickup truck customers west of Nevada. Yesterday morning, 33 train cars derailed in Lincoln County, and the cargo that was being transported consisted of new Jeep Gladiators and Wranglers along with Chevrolet Silverados and GMC Sierras, judging from the photos released by the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office. The train derailment also caused the adjacent road to be closed, and local law enforcement recommends the area is to be avoided as long as it takes to clean it all up. In the photos, damaged Jeeps and other trucks sit either on their wheels or shiny-side-down as the incident is being assessed. Available information says there were thankfully no personal injuries, but itÂ’s not likely any of these trucks will end up in customer hands, even with a significant discount. Pre-registration transport damage, significant or not, has often resulted in scrapping complete vehicles so that manufacturers can steer clear of liability issues. Hooniverse.com, which also reported on the incident, notes a couple of interesting things. Firstly, the upended Gladiator seems to have a pretty sturdy support structure for its glasshouse, thanks to its new rollbars. Another matter is that the GM trucks, also pictured, wear discreet and temporary transport steel wheels instead of fancier items, perhaps to deter thieves eager to grab a shiny set from trucks on their way to the dealer. Still, itÂ’s a shame these vehicles could never fulfill their hauling purposes in the hands of new owners. Perhaps the manufacturers can at least use the damage for data-gathering purposes.
