Selling a 1970 CJ5 Jeep. Last year for the Kaiser tags before AMC took over production. This Jeep has been fun, but it's time to move on to the next one.

The good:

Runs and drives. Has the 225 cubic inch Buick V6 Dauntless engine.
Runs good and has a surprising amount of torque/pep
4 speed transmission with a granny first gear
Twin transfer case sticks to independently switch front and rear axles
Warn manual front hubs
Newer heater that works well
Nice condition Best Top with full doors that convert to 1/2 doors
Spring over lift with longer shackles
35 inch Gumbo Mudder tires
Oil pressure, water temp and volt meter gauges work
Clear California title on a current non-op
No smog required in California, it's a 1970 model

The not so good:

Has rust as shown in the pictures. The worst is through the front fenders and cowl area.
The whole Jeep is mechanically and cosmetically worn
The steering is okay off road, but feels very loose on the pavement. Might be an adjustment issue or worn parts.
The front drive line was crudely lengthened, but is functional
The transmission cross member was crudely fabricated, but is functional
Has no shocks. I've only used the Jeep off road and it did not bother me.
Speedometer and fuel gauges don't work
No parking brake
No rear seat

The bottom line:

This is a off road drivable work in progress. It would be at home as a ranch/hunting rig. It is not ready to drive safely on the road and is a great start to a project jeep. The engine runs well and it is lots of fun in the hills. Depending on your desired use, this is either a good start or is ready to just be a fun dirt toy. I can be reached by email or phone at 707 599 2315 for further questions or to see in person.

I can help load onto your trailer or meet your shipper, but the cost is all up to you. I require a $500 non refundable deposit via paypal with 48 hours of auction end and cash or a cashiers bank check for the balance within 7 days or at time of pick up, whichever comes first.

2014 Jeep Cherokee will keep Liberty designation in China... sort of

Wed, 17 Apr 2013

Chinese buyers will get their first live look at the 2014 Jeep Cherokee during the Shanghai Motor Show, but CarNewsChina is reporting that it will go by a different name - Ziyou Guan, which translates to "Liberty Light." The article states that our Jeep Liberty was never sold in China, but the iconic XJ Cherokee was sold and produced there as the Qinuoji (a phonetic translation of Cherokee).
The new Jeep Liberty Light will be built alongside the Fiat Viaggio (China's Fiat-badged version of the Dodge Dart) at the Guangzhou-Fiat plant, and the two models will share the same powertrains: a 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder base engine paired to a five-speed manual or a dual-clutch transmission and a 2.4-liter four-cylinder (the base engine for the US-spec 2014 Cherokee) as an optional engine. It doesn't sound like the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 will be offered in China.
We'll be on hand when the new Jeep debuts in Shanghai, so stay tuned to Autoblog this Friday night and Saturday for our live coverage of the show.

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Wed, 23 Oct 2013

Jeep appears to have nailed it this time. After two decades of assembling its Grand Cherokee sport utility vehicle, the American automaker has finally delivered a world-class off-roader capable of taking on everything in its segment - and more - with a high likelihood of coming out on top.
And if you drove last year's model, it's time to climb behind the wheel again as Jeep has significantly updated the SUV for 2014 with a bold new exterior appearance, an upgraded interior with enhanced electronics and a new transmission that completely transforms the way it drives.
We recently spent a full week with a dark blue 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland 4x4, a well-optioned model fitted with the standard gasoline-fed V6. While it didn't have the punch of the range-topping V8-powered SRT8, or the fuel-sipping economy of its new EcoDiesel sibling, the high-volume variant left us quite impressed.

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards

Tue, 27 Nov 2012

Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:

1970 Jeep Cj5 , Kaiser, 35" Tires, Twin Stick Transfer Case, And Full Soft Top on 2040-cars
