1971 Jeep Willys Cj5 Cj Fiberglass Body 4.3 Chevy V6 Muncie 4 Speed Project on 2040-cars
Charleston, West Virginia, United States
You are bidding on a 1971 Jeep CJ5 Project. The trailer shown in the pictures is not included. I purchased this with hopes of completing it as a fun toy. Unfortunately I have lost the storage space that I planned on using and rather than letting it sit I would rather it go to someone that can finish it. Now about the Jeep..... Frame/Chassis: This project is a combination of a number of different parts. The frame appears very solid. A former owner had done a nice job of cleaning and painting it. There are a few spots that need repainted but overall very solid. The original springs were swapped for some newer (and slightly longer) Jeep springs which should give it a better ride. The front end has a shackle reversal which should allow it to handle better. The previous owner also has mounted a Saginaw power steering box. Personally I would trim some of the excess steel away from the mount. I also have a stock cast iron Saginaw box mount that I will include. I purchased the Jeep without a steering column but I include a steering column and wheel from another Jeep that I parted out. You will need to come up with a shaft from the column to the box but those are relatively common and inexpensive. Body: The body tub and fenders are fiberglass. The hood, grille and windshield frame are steel. The tub was made by 4WD Hardware which from what I understand they made good bodies. The steel parts are in good condition and the windshield glass is nice. Although not shown, I purchased a used gas tank that looks to be in good shape. I also have the metal surrounding piece for the tank inlet and a new rubber gasket. I do not have any seats for this project. I have two radiators that I think can be made to work. One is new and the other is an older used radiator from Ford Mustang that looks good. For the most part you will need to wire this Jeep and you will need to purchase a speedometer. Since it came to me without a speedometer I listed the milage at 99,999. Drivetrain: The Jeep was converted to a Chevy V6 (not sure but I believe it to be a 4.3) and Muncie 4 speed conected to a Dana 20 transfercase via a Novak adapter. These adapters typically sell for about $600.00. The motor is locked and does not have a starter, distributor or flywheel. It looks like its purpose was to mock up the mounts and such. My plan was to pick up another running V6 (typically about $300 to $400 around here) or possibly a V8. Since the motor does run I could not test the transmission but it seems to shift nice. In addition to the Model 20 transfercase that is currently attached, I also have another Model 20 transfercase that looks pretty good and since I have no plans for it I will include it in the deal. The Jeep came to me without driveshafts but I have a couple from another Jeep project that might work and I will throw them in. There currently is no exhaust. There is a pedal assembly that came with the Jeep. It is the dual chamber style. I have a brand new mastercylinder that I will include. The rear axle is a 4.27 ratio. I did not pull the front cover but I will assume it has the same ratio. Tires/Wheels: The tires are LT325 BF Goodrich. They are a few years old but I don't think they were driven much if at all. Roll bar / Roll cage: It is not shown but I have a roll bar from another jeep that I will thow in. I also have the front bars to a roll cage that I will include in case you would like to weld them on and make a roll cage. The roll bar and cage parts have some surface rust. They will need cleaned and painted but they are solid. Personally I think this project has a lot of potential and would make a nice ride when finished but keep in mind that it is a project and still requires some work and some parts with the motor being the biggest issue. This is not something that you will have finished in a weekend. I am sure that I have missed something and I would be more than happy to discuss this with you. Please email me through the Ebay "Ask a Question" system or call me via my cell (304-951-7375). A $200 non-refundable deposit is required within 48 hours after the close of the auction. The balance within 2 weeks via cash or certified check. I am happy to store the Jeep for up to 30 days (unless other arrangements are made prior to the end of the auction). Vehicle will not be released and title will not be transferred until full payment has been made. The Jeep is located in Charleston, WV.

NHTSA investigating 630k Jeep Wranglers for possible airbag fault
Wed, Jun 24 2015The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening a preliminary evaluation into a possible wiring problem on some 2007-2012 Jeep Wrangler models that could affect airbag deployment. The government agency has 221 complaints alleging that the airbag warning light is illuminating, and that could indicate that the safety devices might not deploy in a crash. If a recall is necessary, an estimated 630,000 vehicles could be affected. According to the documents from NHTSA (as a PDF here), a "faulty clockspring assembly in the driver side airbag electrical circuit" could be the culprit. Also, some of the affected Wranglers are showing a fault code that indicates the safety device wouldn't deploy in an accident. However at this time, there are no reports of injuries related to this potential problem. NHTSA's preliminary evaluations are simply meant to investigate and don't necessarily lead to a recall. This isn't the first time for a potential problem like this on the Wrangler, though. A clockspring issue already led to a safety campaign for 2008-2012 right-hand drive Wranglers and an extended warranty for 2007 left-hand drive examples. Related Video: INVESTIGATION Subject : Air Bag Clockspring Wiring Failure Date Investigation Opened: JUN 19, 2015 Date Investigation Closed: Open NHTSA Action Number: PE15025 Component(s): AIR BAGS All Products Associated with this Investigation Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) JEEP WRANGLER 2007-2012 JEEP WRANGLER 2-DR 4X4 2007-2009 JEEP WRANGLER 4-DR 4X2 2007-2009 JEEP WRANGLER 4-DR 4X4 2007-2009 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA 2007 Details Manufacturer: Chrysler (FCA US LLC) SUMMARY: The subject vehicles display an airbag warning light that may indicate a failure of the clockspring wiring in the driver side air bag circuit. Several complaints cite the following diagnostic trouble code (DTC): Code B1B02 Open Squib to driver's air bag. This DTC would indicate a no-fire condition (disablement) for the driver air bag. ODI investigated the RHD (right hand drive) Wrangler for a clockspring issue under PE11-019 which led to NHTSA Recall 11V258 on model year (MY) 2008-2012 RHD Wranglers as well as an extended warranty campaign on MY 2007 LHD Wrangler vehicles. This investigation covers the MY07-12 LHD (left hand drive) Wranglers.
FCA will pay you to hack its systems
Wed, Jul 13 2016FCA is willing to pay you to hack its cars, as long as you tell the company how you did it. In an effort to enhance cybersecurity and prevent future incidents like the Jeep Cherokee hack last year, FCA announced it's working with Bugcrowd to find vulnerabilities in its vehicle software. Bugcrowd labels itself as a crowdsourced application security testing company. Users, or independent security researchers as Bugcrowd calls them, can find exploits or vulnerabilities in FCA systems. They then submit the information to Bugcrowd, who in turn supplies the info to FCA. The goal is to update systems and close any possible security breaches. FCA is offering bounties from $150 to $1,500 to any Mr. Robot types, with payment based on the size and severity of the flaw. FCA wants hackers to focus specifically on the UConnect website and the company's iOS and Android apps. No bounties will be given for anything outside the scope of those three things. Bugcrowd says it will not take any legal action against anyone who submits an exploit. While we think it's good that the company is taking steps to address these problems, it's not a groundbreaking maneuver. Other companies employ similar systems. Earlier this year, both Tesla and Uber announced that they're willing to offer up to $10,000 to hackers who find vulnerabilities in their system. For years, Microsoft has been paying hackers to find exploits. It also seems that FCA took its time to announce this plan, considering the Jeep hack happened nearly a year ago. If the partnership works, we can expect other automakers to make similar deals. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

First Jeepster prototype spotted with final, boxy form
Thu, 23 Jan 2014The long-awaited baby Jeep is getting closer to production, as evidenced by these spy photos. Previously, the only images of the so-called Jeepster saw it wearing a Fiat 500L body (see below), while this new batch of photos show hefty amounts of camouflage. How is that better? Well, it's very likely there's a production body hiding under all that cladding.
While picking out styling details is virtually impossible thanks to all the camo, as our spies point out, this gives us a very sound idea of the Jeepster's final size. It's small, although we'd argue that it's only slightly smaller than the current Jeep Patriot, based on the images of the newest Jeep sitting in front of an Alfa Romeo Giulietta.
As we reported previously, this little bambino will be built on a Fiat platform, but the styling should be uniquely Jeep - likely to include a somewhat vertical seven-slat grille and round headlights. We can expect to see a production Jeepster, if that ends up being the actual name (Latitude has been rumored, although as that's traditionally a trim level, we imagine there'd be some confusion), when it debuts at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show.
