This is a jaw-dropping, head-turning 1978 Jeep CJ 5 that recently completed a frame-up restoration.  This Jeep looks brand new inside, outside and under the hood.  It is a beautiful metallic brown color with black interior.  It is structurally, mechanically and aesthetically perfect.  

I purchased this Jeep last month on eBay for $17,000 for my wife.  I do not think that she will ever drive it as she isn't interested in driving a manual (something that I should have considered ahead of time admittedly) and it has largely sat in my garage except for the occasional Saturday joy ride.  Unfortunately, I work a lot and I don't think this Jeep is going to be used like it deserves to be.  I can tell you that it gets ALOT of attention when I take it out.  The bikini top can be removed and the windshield folded forward for a very unique look.

Since I have owned it, I have had steering stabilizers professionally installed on it.  I honestly know very little about its history but can tell you confidently that it hasn't been taken off of the road since its restoration was completed earlier this year.  It has locking hubs and brand new tires (along with everything else).  The fuel gauge and temperature gauge aren't hooked up but I plan to return it to the shop to at least remedy the fuel gauge before it sells.  If you have any questions I will be happy to answer them or find an answer or take more pics for you.

Buyer is responsible for shipping and a $1000 deposit is due within 48 hours of listing end.  The remainder of the balance is due within two weeks and the Jeep and title will be released upon full payment.

Thanks for viewing!

Jeep Grand Cherokee in headliner fire probe

Fri, 23 Aug 2013

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching an investigation into 146,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs from the 2012 model year, The Detroit News reports. This comes as the result of the government safety agency receiving three complaints from owners who cited fires inside the Jeep's cabin.
According to the report, NHTSA says:
"The customers reported a burning odor and visible smoke coming from the headliner while the vehicle was being driven. This was followed by flames from the headliner itself. Customers lowered the windows in an effort to clear the smoke but this increased the fire's intensity. All three vehicles had to be extinguished with a fire extinguisher or by the fire department as they continued to burn after the vehicle was turned off."

Fiat Chrysler taps Amazon, Shell execs to fill roles

Fri, Dec 7 2018

MILAN — Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is tapping executives from Amazon and Shell Oil Company with previous automotive industry experience to fill its ranks.

At Amazon, Stewart led teams focused on advanced robotics, artificial intelligence and automation methods. He previously was COO of ZF TRW automotive components supplier. Niel Golightly was named head of global communications. He was most recently Shell's vice president for external relations in North and South America, with a focus on reputation, brand and stakeholder engagement beyond communication strategies. He previously held roles at Ford Motor Company. Related Video: Image Credit: REUTERS/Rebecca Cook Hirings/Firings/Layoffs Alfa Romeo Chrysler Dodge Fiat Jeep RAM FCA Amazon shell Mike Manley
