1970 Jeep Cj5 Handmade Stainless Steel Body!!!! on 2040-cars

Stainless
Steel Jeep 1970 Kaiser
Jeep CJ5 The chassis
and drivetrain are year correct and believed to be original. 225 ci
Dauntless (odd fire) V6 T-14 three
speed transmission with the Dana 18 transfer case Handmade
Stainless Steel Body The body is
believed to have been hand fabricated in the Philippines. This type of body
work was relatively common in the Philippines. The details are amazing! My understanding is that a few of these
bodies were imported and fitted to existing Jeeps back in the ‘70’s. It
seems that most all of these were probably scrapped due to the difficulty of
body repair and the attractive value of the scrap stainless. This could be one
of a remaining few and I doubt there are any in better condition. After several
internet searches I have yet to find any other Stainless bodied CJ5’s out
there. There are no dents or any other evidence of any body damage. This would
lead one to believe that this jeep did not see any hard off-roading in its
lifetime. The stainless has a brushed looking finished similar to a DeLorean
but it could be polished to a chrome like finish if desired. Many of the
accessories are also stainless; this includes the bumpers, roll bar, review
mirror, gas tank, dash board, tail gate, trailer hitch, can and tire rack, jerry
cans, etc. I was told by
the previous owner that the transmission has had a recent rebuild but it does
leak, and shifting into second can require a bit of double clutching. This is
not in need of immediate repair but may need attention at some point, parts are
available and inexpensive. The remainder
of the drivetrain and all other systems are working as they should. This jeep
runs and drives well. The odd fire engine runs very strong and has pleasingly
unique sound. Most all wear parts have been replaced, including the clutch,
brake shoes, all hoses and belts. The starter, distributer, Holly two barrel
carburetor, gauges, fuel pump, shocks are new or near new. Other than
the body a few deviations from stock have been made. They include the addition
of power steering, tilt column, Select-O disengaging front hubs, HEI
distributor, Skyjacker soft ride leaf springs, chrome long tube headers, and
late model replacement seats. These and items like the clear shift knobs give
it a very vintage 1970’s Vibe. This vehicle could be brought back to 100% stock
(other than the body!) with very little effort. This is a
rare, and possibly one and only, opportunity to own a truly unique vehicle like this. Clean
California title and registration in my name. I will be
happy to assist with arranging any shipping required. Thank you for
your interest. |

Auto critic calls out Corvette, Mustang and Cherokee faithful
Mon, 26 Aug 2013Most automotive purists fear change, but not without reason. Change, after all, did kill big-block V8s, along with most station wagons and manual transmissions. But change has also brought with it far more performance, safety and fuel economy - not to mention ridding the world of shag carpet interiors, bias-ply tires and those horrible motorized seatbelts of the early '90s.
By this time next year, the Chevy Corvette, Jeep Cherokee and next-generation Ford Mustang will all be on sale and will all, in some way, have angered or offended purists. To those critics, Mark Phelan of the Detroit Free Press is preemptively telling them to stop complaining - at least until they've all been driven. From the Corvette's square taillights and the Cherokee's radical nose to whatever pony car purists will harp on the 2015 Mustang for, Phelan's column points out the positives of automotive evolution and the negatives of staying the course for too long. That's fair enough, but do you think Phelan is on point, or all wet? Head on over to the Detroit Free Press to read his words, then have your say in Comments.
Autoblog's Editors' Picks: Our complete list of the best new vehicles
Mon, May 13 2024It's not easy to earn an “EditorsÂ’ Picks” at Autoblog as part of the rating and review process that every new vehicle goes through. Our editors have been at it a long time, which means weÂ’ve driven and reviewed virtually every new car you can go buy on the dealer lot. There are disagreements, of course, and all vehicles have their strengths and weaknesses, but this list features what we think are the best new vehicles chosen by Autoblog editors. We started this formal review process back in 2018, so there's quite of few of them now. So what does it mean to be an EditorsÂ’ Pick? In short, it means itÂ’s a car that we can highly recommend purchasing. There may be one, multiple, or even zero vehicles in any given segment that we give the green light to. What really matters is that itÂ’s a vehicle that weÂ’d tell a friend or family member to go buy if theyÂ’re considering it, because itÂ’s a very good car. The best way to use this list is is with the navigation links below. Click on a segment, and you'll quickly arrive at the top rated pickup truck or SUV, for example. Use the back button to return to these links and search in another segment, like sedans. If youÂ’ve been keeping up with our monthly series of the latest vehicles to earn EditorsÂ’ Pick status, youÂ’re likely going to be familiar with this list already. If not, welcome to the complete list that weÂ’ll be keeping updated as vehicles enter (and others perhaps exit) the good graces of our editorial team. We rate a new car — giving it a numerical score out of 10 — every time thereÂ’s a significant refresh or if it happens to be an all-new model. Any given vehicle may be impressive on a first drive, but we wait until itÂ’s in the hands of our editors to put it through the same type of testing as every other vehicle that rolls through our test fleet before giving it the EditorsÂ’ Pick badge. This ensures consistency and allows more voices to be heard on each individual model. And just so you donÂ’t think weÂ’ve skipped trims or variants of a model, we hand out the EditorsÂ’ Pick based on the overarching model to keep things consistent. So, when you read that the 3 Series is an EditorsÂ’ Pick, yes, that includes the 330i to the M3 and all the variants in between. If thereÂ’s a particular version of that car we vehemently disagree with, we make sure to call that out.
Chrysler expecting up to 200,000 9-speed transmissions for 3 models this year
Tue, 22 Jan 2013Striving for improved fuel economy, we already knew that Chrysler will begin using a nine-speed automatic transmission in some of its new products this year, but what we haven't known is that volume at which this gearbox will be used. According to Bloomberg, Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has been quoted as saying that the automaker expects to sell close to 200,000 units equipped with this new transmission in 2013. Those gear-rich trannies will be spread out across three models, consisting of the redesigned Chrysler 200, the still-unnamed Jeep Liberty replacement and the Dodge Dart.
This transmission should play a pivotal role in making Chrysler vehicles more competitive in their respective segments. Just for comparison, one of the Dart's key competitors, the Toyota Corolla, still uses a four-speed automatic, and a previous report indicates that the next-generation 200 could get up to 38 miles per gallon on the highway, which is better than most non-hybrid midsize sedans on the market. Marchionne says that the new Jeep model is expected during the second quarter of this year, but there is no word as to when the new 200 or nine-speed Dart will debut, but clearly Dodge would like to have the transmission in its compact yesterday. As for that volume figure, it definitely doesn't seem out of reach since the Dart, Liberty and 200 combined for a total of more than 225,000 units in 2012.
How many more gears can we expect in future cars? Probably not many more, since the CEO of transmission-builder ZF, Stefan Sommer, previously stated that nine speeds was the "natural limit" for transmissions.
