Selling my wife’s 1979 Jeep CJ5 Custom Resale RED “Hot Rod”!

 

Yeah you heard me right my wife’s Jeep. A couple of years ago she wanted a toy to ride around town in and take to the local car shows and monthly cruise in. Well she found this Jeep and fell in love with it. It is COOL, FAST, LOUD, DEPENDABLE, FUN and gets attention everywhere you go.

This Jeep underwent a full frame off restoration. Then later the owner at that time had an awesome

It is mated up to a GM TH350 automatic transmission attached with Advance Adapters to the stock Dana 20 transfer case with custom drive shafts running to a stock front end and to a fully custom Ford 9 inch rear end. The rear was narrowed and features Lock-Right Powertrax Automatic Positive locking Differential. The front axle sports Pro-Comp hubs. Controlling the TH350 is a B & M bump shifter with reverse lock out. If you want to leave a red light FAST this Jeep will make it happen with slight pressure on the right foot!

The GOOD:

The interior is clean and nice

It sounds GREAT! You will wake your neighbors

The winch has never been used and works as new w/ remote

Passes North Carolina inspection

All lights work – Headlights both low & high, brakes, running and turn signals

All gauges work perfectly

Indicator lights for high beam and turn signals all work

The Bad:

 

The paint is not 100% perfect. Hey it is a Jeep right?

There are a few very small chips on the front edge of the front fenders

There are two paint chips on the driver’s side entry area hidden with the doors on

There are two small dings on the hood (no chips) that do not show in the pictures

There is one very small ding on the top of the driver’s side front fender

There are some small blisters in the paint on the cowl behind the hood in front of the windshield

There is a very small oil leak around the transmission oil pan

It has a new horn but it needs a new horn switch in the steering column. It works if the wheel is turned just right.

The indicator light for the four wheel drive is not hooked up

There is not a park brake put it is an automatic so no big deal

The glove box is fake and only a chrome door cover for looks

 

True miles on this Jeep are unknown. The Jeep shows 22K miles since the frame off restoration and build.

 

Sold As Is - NO WARRANTY 

 

You also get a folder almost two inches thick of receipts, engine specs and owner’s manuals for the winch and carburetor.

We have owned three CJ’s and two Wranglers and have never had one this cool and so well done. With a short wheelbase, lifted, oversize tires and twice the stock horsepower this Jeep deserves respect. Having driven it now a couple of years I find it very easy and fun to drive. We call it our Go Cart! I ran it down I-40 two weeks ago for five miles both ways and kept up with all traffic easy in a 70 MPH speed zone and it tracked and handled GREAT. I added 3 degree shims under the front axle last year and it improved the steering considerably but on grooved two lane country roads it will wonder. On good smooth roads and highways she drives straight & easy.

 

The total investment to date on this Jeep exceeds $18,000.00. I have the reserve set a few thousand under that number. This Jeep is for sale locally for $16,500.00 and I reserve the option to end this auction immediately if the Jeep sells.

This is a very nice Jeep and I’m sure I have missed listing some of the options.

Clear North Carolina title in hand in my wife’s name.

 

Terms:

I require a $500.00 deposit via PayPal by the winning bidder within 24 hours. Full Payment and pick up within 7 days of close of auction.

Buyer responsible for pick up or transportation.

I welcome any questions. Please feel free to contact me on my cell at 336-480-7851.

Thank you for looking and happy bidding.

2014 Jeep Cherokee dreams of Moab, crawls on stage [w/video]

Wed, 27 Mar 2013

The all-new 2014 Jeep Cherokee inched its way onto the stage at the New York Auto Show today, proving that at least the "Trail Rated" version of the SUV is more than just a controversial unique odd fresh face in the mid-size segment. After the short, simulated Moab run by the Trailhawk model, the gray four-door was joined on the stage by a burgundy Limited model - the luxurious highway variant.
As a recap, the all-new 2014 Cherokee rides atop a modular Alfa Romeo-derived platform (we know it from the Dodge Dart) and will be offered in both front- and all-wheel drive models with a choice between a 2.4-liter four-cylinder (rated at 184 horsepower) and a new 3.2-liter Pentastar V6 (developing 271 horsepower) engine. A nine-speed automatic is standard and no less than three different all-wheel drive systems are available.
Of the four different models (Sport, Latitude, Limited, and Trailhawk), we like the rugged looks and capabilities offered by the Trailhawk the best. Overlook the red tow hooks and check out its more aggressive wheel/tire package, flared fenders, reduced breakover angle and lack of brightwork in our gallery of live images from the New York show. Skid plates and off-road capable tires round out the package. Read all the details in the official press release below.

Chrysler recalls 468,700 Jeep Grand Cherokees, Commanders over rollaway risk

Mon, 13 May 2013

Chrysler has issued a recall covering a combined 469,000 units of the 2005-2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee and the 2006-2010 Jeep Commander (inset). Of that number, 295,000 are in the US, roughly 33,000 in Canada and Mexico and the remainder in other markets. It seems an electrical fault in the transfer case can allow the affected SUVs to shift into neutral on their own, while an Associated Press report says that Chrysler had "found cracks in a circuit board that turns the four-wheel-drive system on and off." The issue was discovered when an owner started his car remotely and it rolled away.
Chrysler is expected to begin notifying owners in June 2013, who can then take their cars to dealers. The dealer will reflash the final drive controller free of charge. There's a bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below with more information.

Sergio rethinks FCA-GM merger idea, dismisses critics

Sat, Dec 5 2015

After many public overtures, Fiat Chrysler Automotive CEO Sergio Marchionne has claimed his company won't be making a hostile takeover bid for General Motors. This is despite widespread speculation that FCA's desire to merge was motivated by its allegedly dire situation. As one unnamed GM exec who spoke to Automotive News earlier this year put it, "Why should [GM] bail out FCA?" "We are not choking. We are in relatively decent shape," Marchionne told journalists attending an FCA shareholder meeting in Amsterdam, AN reports. "We have been publicly rebuffed, we have been rejected and you cannot force these things. I don't want to. At the moment, we have no intention to do anything hostile." Instead of focusing on merging with GM, or any other partners for that matter, FCA will refocus on implementing its ambitious five-year investment plan, which would see it dump $52 billion into its various brands, with a particular focus on Alfa Romeo, Maserati, and Jeep. So far the attempt has largely been unsuccessful, especially as it relates to the Italian brands. Earlier this week, additional reports emerged that claimed Alfa was pushing back the Giulia and an unnamed CUV while reassigning resources to updated versions of the Giulietta and MiTo hatchbacks. This is not the first time we've heard about trouble for the Giulia, of course. For Masearti, though, it was the first we'd heard of delays for Alfieri sports car, which allegedly won't appear in 2016, as promised. We can expect a proper breakdown of FCA's adjusted plans when Marchionne and Company reveal an updated product slate next month.
