1979 Jeep Cj5 Golden Eagle Sport Utility 2-door on 2040-cars
Ball Ground, Georgia, United States
Second listing with lower reserve. 1979 Jeep CJ5 Golden Eagle. This was an original Golden Eagle. 29,000 miles on the ticker? I have the original gold spare wheel and tire that has never been on the pavement. It had the tach and clock common to the upgrade. It was repainted by the second owner. It had new Golden Eagle decals at that time. The jeep has power steering with a chrome power steering pump. A new power disc brake kit from Collins Bros jeeps with slotted high performance rotors. Jeep stops straight and drives great. No steering slop. Original 3 speed T-150 transmission rebuilt with new synchronizers and bearing kit Shifts like new. Dana 20 transfer case works great. The jeep came originally with a 304 V8 which is available. The engine was replaced with a Tuff Dawg 365hp AMC Jeep 360cid crate engine. See their web site ($5,000) tuffdawgengines.com. The engine only has a few hundred miles on it. This is a Sunday driver that only gets out once or twice a month when it is pretty. The jeep sounds great. Impressive horsepower in a light weight vehicle. Engine has a Powermaster chrome alternator. Aluminum pulleys from bulltear.com. New Holley Street Dominator Caburator. Hooker ceramic coated headers. Chrome Hooker side pipe mufflers not glass packs. Sounds good but not too loud. New Powermaster high torque starter. New centerforce clutch and pressure plate. Mickey Thompson Classic Lock wheels with 33" ProComp tires. Tires like new. Bestop low back seats. They just feel right in a vintage classic. Retractable factory lap belts. SS dash. The original dash was cut for speakers. It looked bad so I replaced it. All the gauges work!. I sent the factory clock off and had it rebuilt for $200. This is the original clock not aftermarket. The color was off on the after market clock. It has a factory oil and volt gauge. Same deal, after market color doesn't match instrument cluster at night. Fuel gauge works. Factory tach works. The windshield washer works, see photo. The parking brake light works. It has Hella headlights with an upgraded relay wiring harness ket for them. This is a slick kit. Lights are brighter than new vehicle headlights. If it is on the Jeep it works as good as or better than factory. There is no rust on this Jeep. It spends its life in a plush garage. Bestop super top with the good doors that convert to half doors. Bikini top. I have only had the top on it a couple of times. I only drive it when it is warm and pretty although the top and heater work great. New high performance heater blower motor. Too much to list. I didn't think I would ever sale it but I want to put the money in another airplane. I am not a dealer, I am a jeep connoisseur. I have owned one or another cj for the last 30 years. I bought this jeep because it was the real deal, solid honest, factory V8, bullet proof 3 speed, dana 20, no rhino lined over rust jeep. I just made it better. Nothing to do to it but drive and enjoy. evanmarble@bellsouth.net |

Fiat Chrysler to get $105M fine from NHTSA for recall woes
Sun, Jul 26 2015The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is about to send a powerful message to automakers doing business in the United States, assuming reports of an upcoming $105 million fine against Fiat Chrysler Automobiles comes to fruition. In addition to the record-setting monetary fine, according to The Wall Street Journal, FCA will have to accept an independent auditor that will monitor the company's recall and safety processes and will be forced to buy back certain recalled vehicles. In other cases, such as with Jeep Grand Cherokee and Liberty models with gas tanks that could potentially catch fire in certain types of accidents, FCA will offer financial encouragement for owners to get their recall work done or to trade those older vehicles in on new cars, according to the report. FCA could reportedly reduce its fines if it meets certain conditions, though those remain unclear at this time. These actions against FCA are being taken after NHTSA began a probe into the automaker over almost two dozen separate instances where the government claims FCA failed to follow proper procedures for recalls and safety defects. Included in those safety lapses are more than 11 million vehicles currently in customer hands. These penalties and fines are separate from the investigation over security problems with Chrysler's Uconnect system that allowed hackers to obtain remote access into key vehicle systems in 1.4 million vehicles.

Jeep in St. Louis hacked from Pittsburgh
Tue, Jul 21 2015One of America's most popular vehicles contains a security flaw that allows hackers to remotely commandeer it from anywhere on the planet. Cyber-security researchers Chris Valasek and Charlie Miller say they've accessed critical vehicle controls on a 2014 Jeep Cherokee that allowed them to remotely control critical vehicle functions like braking, transmission function, and steering. Automakers have downplayed the possibility a car could be remotely compromised, but the significance of the findings detailed Tuesday could cause them to reevaluate the threats posed to hundreds of thousands of vehicles already on the road. A key finding – the pair needed no physical access to the Jeep to pull off the attack. Valasek and Miller accessed the controls via a security hole in the Sprint cellular connection to Chrysler's UConnect infotainment system. In the course of their research, Valasek sat in his Pittsburgh home and remotely manipulated Miller's Jeep as he drove along a highway outside St. Louis. If you know a car's IP address, they say, a hacker could control it from anywhere. "We didn't add anything, didn't touch it," Valasek told Autoblog. "A customer could drive one of these things off a lot, and they'd have no clue it had these open attack surfaces." Remotely, he disabled brakes, turned the radio volume up, engaged windshield wipers and tampered with the transmission. Further, they could conduct surveillance on the Jeep, measuring its speed and tracking its whereabouts. They conducted the experiments over multiple breaches. They made their findings public on the same day the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the federal agency in charge of vehicle safety, released its latest report on the readiness of government and automakers to fend off these sorts of cyber attacks. Later today, two US Senators are expected to introduce legislation that would help consumers better understand the potential risks of car hacking. In the early stages of their research, Valasek and Miller found a security flaw in the car's wi-fi that allowed them to remotely manipulate controls from a range of about three feet. But in recent months, they found another vulnerability in the Sprint cellular connection in the UConnect system. That was a key breakthrough. "Lo and behold, we found we could communicate with this thing using cellular, and then more research, and 'Holy cow,' we're using the Sprint network to communicate with these vehicles," Valasek said.
GMC boss wants a Jeep Wrangler rival
Wed, 12 Nov 2014Challengers come and challengers go, but the Jeep Wrangler continues to push forward even after vehicles like the Toyota FJ Cruiser and the entire Hummer brand have been shut down. Now GMC reportedly wants to take a stab at the quintessential Jeep, as well.
The news comes directly from Buick-GMC vice president Duncan Aldred, speaking with our compatriots over at Edmunds. Although Aldred said there are no plans currently on the table to expand GMC's lineup beyond the current range, "there is plenty of room everywhere in the hierarchy."
That could include a rival to the Wrangler, as well as a flagship luxury SUV positioned above the current Yukon Denali (pictured above). Just when (or for that matter, if) such models might come into fruition remains a big question mark, but it's certainly interesting to see what GM's dedicated truck brand has on the drawing board.
