Here is a 74 Jeep cj5. This vehicle was traded to me for labor on a 69 Land Rover. Since I specialize in Land Rover restoration I have no need for this Jeep. The previous owner had the jeep since 08 there is a recent invoice for about $1700 in parts and labor plus I added about $1800 worth of parts to get the jeep more presentable. Body- I recently repainted the body in desert tan, I liked this color as it gives the Jeep a very expedition/ military look. The paint job is very utilitarian and looks fine from about 10 feet away but there are small drilled holes dings, and roughly finished bondo work that is apparent close up. The old paint was scuffed and it was 2k urethane primed and top coated in desert tan acrylic enamel. The left fender, windshield frame, windshield frame gasket and driver side floor were all replaced with new units. There is bondo on the body which appeared sound so I painted over it. There is some rot on the passenger side under the body supports and on the bottom of the tailgate. The windshield has a crack and is not installed in the new windshield frame, a new windshield shouldn't be too expensive maybe $200 or so. The seats are the original and in great shape I added a new original style steering wheel and new speedo. The top is in ok condition there is a crack in the rear window and a small rip on the roof. Engine/trans- The 6 cylinder engine runs great, it was being driven before but I have not road tested the jeep. It has a new starter, battery cables, starter solenoid, valve cover gasket, distributor cap, rotor, carburetor, throttle cable, voltage regulator, upper and lower hoses, radiator cap and full exhaust system. The heater core is leaking so it is disconnected it, the radiator has a small leak as well. There is also a new 20 gallon plastic fuel tank complete with skid plate and sending unit that is ready to install this was about $350. The transmission is a 3 speed and shifts fine with no obvious synchro or clutch problems. Electrical- The jeep has a painless wiring harness. The headlights, taillights, brake lights, turn signals, and heater blower motor all work. The jeep also has a new speedo assembly. The taillights and parking lights are new. The headlights, taillights, brake lights and turn signals all work, the horn does not. Frame- The frame has surface rust but no rot or repairs. The jeep has a lift but I am not sure how much probably 2.5'' the rear suspension is very stiff, I would recommend replacing it with something softer riding. The power brakes work good I added 2 new lines on the rear axle that were very corroded. The tires a re 31'' and have decent tread left. Overall this is a functional Jeep that needs a bunch of finishing up work that can be easily accomplished by the new owner. Connectiut does not issue titles for vehicles older than 1980, the Jeep is sold with a bill of sale and old registration only.

Which electric cars can charge at a Tesla Supercharger?

Sun, Jul 9 2023

The difference between Tesla charging and non-Tesla charging. Electrify America; Tesla Tesla's advantage has long been its charging technology and Supercharger network. Now, more and more automakers are switching to Tesla's charging tech. But there are a few things non-Tesla drivers need to know about charging at a Tesla station. A lot has hit the news cycle in recent months with regard to electric car drivers and where they can and can't plug in. The key factor in all of that? Whether automakers switched to Tesla's charging standard. More car companies are shifting to Tesla's charging tech in the hopes of boosting their customers' confidence in going electric.Â Here's what it boils down to: If you currently drive a Tesla, you can keep charging at Tesla charging locations, which use the company's North American Charging Standard (NACS), which has long served it well. The chargers are thinner, more lightweight and easier to wrangle than other brands.Â If you currently drive a non-Tesla EV, you have to charge at a non-Tesla charging station like that of Electrify America or EVgo — which use the Combined Charging System (CCS) Â— unless you stumble upon a Tesla charger already equipped with the Magic Dock adapter. For years, CCS tech dominated EVs from everyone but Tesla.Â Starting next year, if you drive a non-Tesla EV (from the automakers that have announced they'll make the switch), you'll be able to charge at all Supercharger locations with an adapter. And by 2025, EVs from some automakers won't even need an adaptor.Â Here's how to charge up, depending on which EV you have:Â Ford 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E. Tim Levin/Insider Ford was the earliest traditional automaker to team up with Tesla for its charging tech. Current Ford EV owners Â— those driving a Ford electric vehicle already fitted with a CCS port Â— will be able to use a Tesla-developed adapter to access Tesla Superchargers starting in the spring. That means that, if you own a Mustang Mach-E or Ford F-150 Lightning, you will need the adapter in order to use a Tesla station come 2024. But Ford will equip its future EVs with the NACS port starting in 2025 Â— eliminating the need for any adapter. Owners of new Ford EVs will be able to pull into a Supercharger station and juice up, no problem. General Motors Cadillac Lyriq. Cadillac GM will also allow its EV drivers to plug into Tesla stations.
