Boulder, Colorado, United States
No Reserve Auction!! 1981 Jeep CJ5 LAREDO This Jeep CJ5 is a beautiful original classic gets a lot of comments everywhere I go to. I got it from one of my brothers medical colleagues who purchased it from his mother 12 years ago. He rarely drove it and it sat on his ranch in his barn for years (he drove it less then 2k miles total). Last week, I drove it to Denver 2x, once to Central City and to the mountains yesterday to take photos of it for this auction. I had 3 people comment on it yesterday when I pulled up into Starbucks. The Jeep starts right up, drives smooth and doesn't have any vibrations, shimmy or problems keeping up with traffic in town, on the highway or in the mountains. Engine: 258 4.2L 6cylinder motor that runs great, is very peppy and runs great. Overall the motor runs great, I don't notice any leaks on the ground after driving and it does not smoke. The Valve cover gasket has the classic leak and will need to be replaced sometime. Transmission/Transfer Case: 4spd T176 Manual Transmission that shifts perfect, no play in the transmission and no grinding or crunching. The Clutch is very tight, responsive and does not slip. The transfer case shifts easily in and out of 4x4. It is a Dana 300. Drivetrain/suspension: The Jeep drives excellent and has that soft tight stock suspension. There aren't any loud clunks or noises, it is very smooth. The drivetrain and suspension are completely stock. The power steering is super sensitive and the brakes stop the jeep easily. Interior Controls/Switches: Everything in the interior works including the gauges, speedometer, odometer, wipers and blinkers. The horn, cig lighter and heater do not work(I will check the fuses) the radio powers up but there is no sound. The Tilt Steering makes it easier to get in and out. Paint/Body/Rust: The paint is Copper Brown Metallic with Laredo Striping. It is original paint that looks great and super reflective, shows a lot of luster and is shiny. The front drivers fender was replaced along with the windshield frame at one point. The front clip fenders have sand chips. The body has 2 small areas of rust in the rear of the tub, a bit of surface rust on the side of the passenger front fender and on the interior under the drivers retractable seat belt(it is thru under it). Overall very clean, view photos and ask a question to see more pictures from photobucket.com, I have approx 100 more photos to share. Interior: The interior is beautiful, the nutmeg seats are in great condition along with the carpets. The seats are clean and only the drivers seat has seem separations. The seats are discolored a bit from sitting in the sun and so are the tops of the rear wheel well carpets but overall the seats, dash and interior is in great condition. The passenger visor is broken. The interior paint is in excellent condition. The dash pad is solid except on the corners (view photos). Beautiful color combination. Bestop Soft top and Doors: The nutmeg bestop soft top is in great condition with clear windows and no significant rips or tears. There looks to be a couple spots that were repaired but overall the top and doors are in excellent shape. All zippers work with ease and the top seals to prevent leakage in the elements. Tires/Wheels: This are the original 15x8 Chrome Jeep wagon wheels with Center Caps. The Chrome is original and the clear coat has never been removed on them. The spare wheel does show some clear coat peeling in places however the other 4 do not. The spare tire looks to be original and is dry rotting on the side wall. The tires have a couple years life remaining on them, I'd say 65-70% left. Additional Photos: Ask a questions and I will provide a link to view more photos of the Jeep at photobucket. eBay will no longer allow seller to post a clickable links on our auctions. Overall: This is a beautiful and Rare CJ5 Laredo Jeep in Copper. It is ready to go and will make a great daily driver, weekend warrior, summer adventurer or an addition to your collection. The CJ5 is used and 33 years old, so it may have blemishes I didn't capture on my camera or missed. I do my best to illustrate the condition, I may have missed something so be sure to ask all questions you have prior to bidding or winning the Jeep. The Jeep is being sold as is, where is, without warranty or guarantees. I am not required for your state emission or safety inspections including Colorado.

Stellantis tells UK: Change Brexit deal or watch car plants close
Wed, May 17 2023LONDON - British car plants will close with the loss of thousands of jobs unless the Brexit deal is swiftly renegotiated, Stellantis has told the UK parliament, the latest in a series of warnings from the industry since the country left the European Union. The world's No. 3 carmaker by sales and owner of 14 brands including Vauxhall, Peugeot, Citroen and Fiat said that under the current deal it would face tariffs when exporting electric vans to Europe from next year, when tougher post-Brexit rules come into force. "If the cost of EV (electric vehicle) manufacturing in the UK becomes uncompetitive and unsustainable, operations will close," Stellantis said in a submission to a House of Commons committee examining the prospects for Britain's EV industry. Stellantis urged the government to reach an agreement with the European Union about extending the current rules on the sourcing of parts until 2027 instead of the planned 2024 change. In response, a government spokesperson said the business secretary had raised the issue with the EU. "Watch this space, because we are very focused on making sure that the UK gets EV and manufacturing capacity," Britain's finance minister Jeremy Hunt said on Wednesday at a British Chambers of Commerce event. The potentially existential problem facing Britain's car industry is closely tied to the shift to EVs. Under the trade deal agreed when Britain left the bloc, 45% of the value of an EV being sold in the European Union must come from Britain or the EU from 2024 to avoid tariffs. The problem is that a battery pack can account for up to half a new EV's cost. Batteries are also heavy and expensive to move long distances. Experts have been warning since Britain left the EU at the end of 2020 that the country would need a number of EV battery gigafactories or potentially lose a hefty chunk of its car industry. Only Japan's Nissan has a small EV battery plant in Sunderland, with a second one on the way. Cost of failure Britishvolt, a startup which received UK government support for an ambitious 3.8 billion pound ($4.80 billion) battery plant at a site in northern England, filed for administration in January after struggling to raise funds. The company was then bought by Australia's Recharge Industries, which has yet to unveil plans for the site.
Chrysler registers Trackhawk trademark
Wed, 01 Oct 2014There may not be many ways to forecast what an automaker is planning for the future, but there are some. Trademark applications are one of them, and Chrysler has just applied with the US Patent and Trademark Office to protect the name "Trackhawk." The question is, what's it planning on using it for? We don't know for sure, but we can put together an educated guess or two. And one guess is that Jeep will use the name to replace the letters SRT on the performance version of the Grand Cherokee.
How do we figure, you ask? From a number of developments. For starters, the SRT division has been reintegrated into the Dodge brand. Those letters currently appear on only two vehicles from outside the Dodge lineup: one is the Grand Cherokee SRT, and the other is the Chrysler 300 SRT. We've heard ruminations (however unconfirmed) that the latter could be either discontinued or possibly relabeled, and if the same proves true of the GC, the Trackhawk name could serve as a on-road performance counterpart to the Trailhawk label applied to off-road versions of models like the Cherokee and Renegade.
Logical it may be, but it's hardly a foregone conclusion. The Trackhawk name could just as easily be used for a new concept (like the Trailhawk name was in 2007), for another kind of trim level or for something else entirely. In fact we don't even know for sure it'll be used by the Jeep brand specifically, or used at all for that matter. Automakers have been known, after all, to register names they don't end up using.
Watch this 9-year-old drive Jeep Wrangler off-road [w/poll]
Wed, 28 May 2014This nine-year-old girl might be better at rock crawling than some people twice her age. But is it worth putting her in danger to do it? According to her father on the Jeep Experience Facebook page, her name is Faith, and she has been offroading with her family since she was two. At nine years old, she's now driving her dad's Jeep over the rocks by herself.
As you can see she's belted in and under her father's direct supervision and guidance. She shows immense confidence for someone her age and follows her dad's instructions on exactly what to do. Although, this could still be a very dangerous situation if something went wrong.
Previously, we saw a similar video with a six-year-old on a motorcycle driving on public roads through the desert. Voters decided by only a six-point margin that the adult should be in trouble for letting the kid ride the bike. Here, we have a slightly older child driving a vehicle off road. Where do you fall in this case? Is it still wrong to hand over control to a child? Let us know in the poll below and scroll down to watch the video.
