RARE 1980 CJ5 GOLDEN EAGLE RUNNING V8-304 MOTOR T176
REQUIRES COMPLETE RESTORE OR PARTS !!!!!
This is a very desirable rare last year for the GOLDEN EAGLE JEEP CJ. This has the most desirable 304 V8 motor, mated to the most desirable T176 manual 4 speed and correct short shaft dana 300 transfer case (only year). This model was also the only year for the brown denim high back seat with purse straps. I do have a correct rear fixed seat, 4 correct GE 15x8 non pre-drilled steel 8 spoke factory wheels and a correct levi tan denim dash pad which will be included.
The motor does run and I've been told that it has approx. 50k and had a new timing chain. It did run but needs some carb work. The t176 is currently out of the Jeep, as is the transfer case but will be included. There is newer brake and fuel lines as well as a newer gas tank. The tach is functional, however the clock did not move.
The body appears to be a basket case as the main floor is shot, as pictured. The rear floor pan is actually intact. The front section of the frame appears to be ok, however the typical rear section near the gas tank would require some work. It does have the original paint and Golden decals.
This Jeep would require consider amount of skill and time to restore it to it's glory, however if you're considering a restore project, this is the model and trim package you want.
If you have additional questions, please call 716-512-8307 or email.

Chrysler recalls 2013 Ram pickups, 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee
Wed, 17 Jul 2013Chrysler's spate of successful products is about to be marred by a trio of recalls. The Pentastar is recalling 51,477 Ram trucks and Jeep SUVs. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, there have been no reported accidents, injuries or deaths related to the affected vehicles.
The largest action covers the Ram 1500, which is seeing 45,961 trucks being recalled. Models built between June 26, 2012 and February 5, 2013 are being recalled due to a potential software issue in the electronic stability control. Apparently, the system can be randomly deactivated upon vehicle startup.
Chrysler is also recalling 4,458 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee models. Covering everything but the SRT models, the potentially defective SUVs were built between January 14 and March 20, 2013. This recall focuses on "premium headlights," which means cars equipped with LED running lights. During the switch from the bright daytime running lamp setting to the low-intensity parking light setting, an electrical spike can cause one of the Jeep's computers to go into a safe mode, turning off the LEDs. This violates Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.
Refreshed Chrysler 300 SRT won't be sold in NA
Mon, 20 Oct 2014It looks like it might be time to bid farewell to the V8 rumble from the Chrysler 300 SRT - at least if you live in North America. The reported change comes as Fiat Chrysler Automobiles reshuffles its ranks with the Dodge brand, re-absorbing SRT and building its muscular reputation with the Challenger and Charger Hellcat models. Meanwhile, Chrysler is taking a more mainstream approach, and that likely means the end of overt high-performance models from the division for now.
According to Automotive News, the 300 SRT will be discontinued in the US for 2015, but it won't be totally dead. Some right-hand drive markets will still get the brawny V8 sedan next year, a distinction that goes a long way toward explaining some spy shots we've seen recently.
The 300 SRT's North American demise probably shouldn't come as a total shock. In FCA's five-year plan, it says that the 300 is destined for a refresh to be unveiled later this year, presumably at the upcoming Los Angeles Auto Show. There's no mention of the SRT model in the document, though, which seems to signal its end.
MotorWeek reviews '83 American Motors lineup
Wed, Mar 18 2015The 30th anniversary of American Motors' 1987 sale to Chrysler by Renault is just a few years away. AMC is long dead, but for its latest peek in the archives, MotorWeek winds back the clock to somewhat happier times. Take a look at the entire AMC lineup from 1983, including its models from Jeep and Renault. The Jeeps, and to a lesser extent, the AMC Eagle, enjoy a cult following today, but it's amazing how many of these other vehicles are now practically forgotten. Even the big debut in '83 of the Renault Alliance is largely ignored. Although with a ludicrous amount of body roll and a 55-horsepower 1.4-liter engine, it's probably rightly buried.
