She’s got the LOOK!
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 Chevy 350 V8 built and installed. The professional engine builder estimates the horsepower at 350 HP 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! Features: 15 x 10 Eagle Alloys Mickey Thompson 33 x 12.50 Baja Claw Tires (less than

range Disc brakes front and Drum rear stop the Jeep straight
and safely 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 windshield wipers work in both high and low speeds 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. 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. Mark |

NHTSA investigating why Jeep recall fix is taking so long
Mon, 07 Jul 2014Jeep's saga with the National Traffic Safety Administration and the voluntary campaign to repair 1.56 million vehicles for allegedly unsafe trailer hitches, is getting yet another chapter. The controversy appeared to finally be over in January when the automaker found a supplier for the replacement parts. Nothing is ever that easy, though, and the government regulator is now requesting documents from the company to clarify why the repairs are taking so long to begin.
Jeep parent company Chrysler has until July 16 to submit documents and answers to NHTSA explaining the situation. The regulator claims that despite its compromise to inspect and repair the models with improper hitches in June 2013, Chrysler didn't find a part supplier until December and didn't order the replacements until January. The government agency believes that the first components weren't manufactured until May of this year and vehicles may not actually be repaired until as late as August. According to the report, if the Chrysler doesn't supply what NHTSA is asking for, the agency could "take additional appropriate action as warranted."
Throughout this entire process, Chrysler has asserted that the vehicles met the applicable crash test standards of the time, and it has kept NHTSA abreast of the repair activity. In a recently released statement it said that the regulator analyzed eight rear impact reconstruction tests and found the replacement hitch to be safe. To keep up with the high demand for replacements, Chrysler is working with multiple suppliers, and they are running three shifts, six days a week to get the parts ready as soon as possible.
Lexus gets top brand marks from Consumer Reports; Ford, Jeep hit hard
Tue, 25 Feb 2014Consumer Reports has released its 2014 Car Brand Report Cards, with Lexus again reigning at the top and doing so with the same industry-topping score of 79 that it registered in last year's Report Cards. This year, the institute credited its lineup for being "usually quiet, comfortable, and fuel-efficient," noting it's the only brand on the list "to achieve an excellent average overall reliability score." The Car Brand Report Cars list is meant to rank the best all-around vehicles based on CR testing and reliability results tallied by subscribers it surveyed. Each brand included must have sufficient test and reliability data for at least three models, a standard which left out 11 marques including Fiat, Jaguar, Land Rover and Porsche.
This 2014 Brand Report Cars edition is the first of a new format in which sub-brands have been broken out from their parent brands, with Acura using this year to move up the leaderboard into second place with a score of 75 for its "reliable, well-finished and somewhat sporty models." The top three was rounded out by Audi, climbing from eighth to third by scoring a 74 for "well-crafted interiors, nice handling and good gas mileage." Audi scored highest in the road-test portion, its improved reliability aiding its rise. The top nine was completed by Subaru, Toyota, Mazda, Honda, Infiniti and Mercedes-Benz.
Ford and Jeep weighed in at the other end of the rankings, Jeep taking the lowest overall score in the road tests and hampered by "a mix of spotty reliability." Ford was sunk by reliability issues with its MyFord Touch infotainment system which consumers found troublesome enough to negate its cars earning "solid test scores" for being "very nice to drive." Perhaps the rumored switch from Microsoft to Blackberry's QNX for the next generation SYNC will help them out. Cadillac's score also took a hit for infotainment reasons after it was the leading US brand last year, the CUE system in the XTS dragging Cadillac to the bottom of all General Motors brands.
Next Jeep Wrangler to get hybrid option?
Wed, Jan 21 2015This may the year a Jeep hybrid is officially announced. Really. The Chrysler division may finally be making plans for its first gas-electric powertrain to help boost the group's fuel economy, says UK's Auto Express, citing Mike Manley, CEO of FCA's Jeep division. The guinea pig of sorts may be the Wrangler, which moved almost a quarter-million units in the US last year. The Wrangler could get a hybrid drivetrain by the 2017 model year, as Jeep executives look to maintain the model's feel and torque while boosting its fuel economy. The Wrangler gets a pretty paltry 18 miles per gallon combined out of its six-cylinder mill, so the bar's set pretty low. Of course, we've heard this talk before. In late 2013, Chrysler Asia-Pacific product planning manager Steve Bartoli told Australia's Drive that a Jeep hybrid was pretty much inevitable, though not much has been mentioned since. FCA could use all the help it can get in the fuel economy department. The group brought up the rear among automakers when it came to fuel efficiency, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said in its EPA Trends report released last October. The FCA models combined for a 21.1 miles per gallon average for the 2014 model year, compared to the 24.2 mpg overall industry average. The group's only electric vehicle in the US is the low-volume Fiat 500e, though the company may start selling a plug-in hybrid version of its Chrysler Town & Country by the end of the year.
