Classic unmolested 1973 CJ-5. 3 speed transmission with original AMC 304 V8. The body is in fantastic condition inside and out with no dents or bondo.(rear right 3/4 panel was replaced by previous owner) Very minor surface rust in the back bed as pictured. This was a restoration project that I seem to never have time for and now need a long distance vehicle that can go over 75 mph comfortably (this 40 year old CJ wont cut it as a daily HWY driver). My loss your gain as you can see in one of the pics, nearly $5,000.00 was spent on maintaining and upgrading this beauty since late 2012. The work done on it is as follows : Alternator, regulator assembly, belts, seals, tie rods, break lines, U joints, Clutch kit, pitman arm, batteries and Power steering unit installed.


This very original Jeep as you can see is in excellent all around shape. All 5 matching original wheels with hard to find 60/40 front seats that are in great shape.
 Starts right up with the V8 roaring strong.  No mechanical issues with steering, braking, shifting, 4WD, etc..

There are some things that I have not fixed like windshield wipers (sometimes they work,sometimes they don't). Front headlights don't work as of recent nor do the  gauges..which BTW I am including a new unused speedometer in the sale along with oil & volt gauges. Parking brake lever is not connected and the passenger under seat storage lid hinges need to be replaced. The Dash heating/ventilating control unit is disconnected and a replacement unit (not the cables) is included in the sale along with a grab bar, original V8 emblems & original dash lighter. Original manuals, inspection report and receipts are also included. These are minor things but I felt I should mention them.
This CJ is unique and full of character unlike all the new jeeps out there, This baby is ready to be experienced On and Off road ! 

The Jeep is located in Austin, TX so if you are in the area you are more than welcome to come check it out for yourself. 
Any questions if you have them, feel free to contact me. As of today the Jeep is also listed local so I reserve the right to end auction early. I will entertain offers within reason. 
The vehicle is listed and sold as-is and all sales are final. Winner is responsible for all shipment fees and services.

Jeep launches new ad with unreleased Michael Jackson track

Fri, 09 May 2014

We've recently heard much about how Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne plans to pump up the volume on Jeep sales, inaugurating new models and global dealerships. But that's the stuff outlined in five-year plans; right now, advertising and special editions are at the fore, and the late Michael Jackson, too. Jeep has begun airing two commercials to push its Altitude Editions, Call of Summer and Lovers of the Game, that feature the song "Love Never Felt So Good" from Jackson's upcoming album of new music.
A little more star power - and timely, too - comes from Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Kyrie Irving. While Call of Summer features a few short shots of the former Rookie of the Year and two-time NBA All-Star, Lovers of the Game is all about his white Wrangler Altitude Edition and wrangling shots. You can watch both spots below, and if you want to hear the rest of the music track before the album hits, you can download it from iTunes.

Autoblog fan favorite car ads from Super Bowl XLIX

Mon, Feb 2 2015

Super Bowl XLIX is in the books, and the New England Patriots emerged victorious. Of course, if you're like us, the big game wasn't so much about the battle between the east coast and west, so much as a fight between the world's automotive advertisers. We collected and collated all of last night's new ads and put them together for you to vote on. And yes, we're limiting this year's contest to last night's new features. That's why you aren't seeing Dodge's epic Wisdom among our collection of commercials, and it's a similar story with Chevrolet's Truck Guy Focus Group series, which highlights the new Colorado. You can still vote for your favorites. We won't be closing the voting on our Super Bowl page, so while the winners and losers are correct as of this writing, it's entirely possible that there could be some changes in the rankings as time goes on. So, without any further ado, here are the winning ads based on your voting. Nissan: With Dad Fiat: Ready For Action Jeep: Beautiful Lands BMW: Newfangled Idea Mercedes-Benz: Fable NASCAR: America Start Your Engines As for those ads that failed to impact you, loyal readers, Toyota was the absolute, undisputed loser. The Japanese brand ran four ads in total – two for Toyota and two for Lexus – and all of them have negative tallies as of this writing. Lexus' Make Some Noise and Lets Play and Toyota's One Bold Choice and My Bold Dad both had very weak showings among the commercials that aired, although they weren't alone. Neither Mazda nor Kia scored particularly well, despite featuring celebrity magic act Penn and Teller and former James Bond, Pierce Brosnan, respectively. Chevrolet was the winner of the losers, as of our writing, recording the fewest downvotes for its audience-punking The Big Game ad. If you want to take a second look at the losing ads, you can head back to our Super Bowl page for the complete collection. But for now, head into Comments and let us know what you think of the results.

Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango to lose color options temporarily

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

In the market for a Jeep Grand Cherokee or Dodge Durango? Well, if you fancy a more expressive color for your new SUV, you'd better get your order in, or plan on waiting until well into 2015.
The SUVs will be limited to just four monochromatic shades - black, white, silver and gray - until at least February, thanks to an upgrade to the paint shop at the two vehicles' Jefferson North factory. For the Grand Cherokee, that means it's losing more than half its color palette while the Durango is dropping two-thirds of its color catalog.
The loss of colors is inconvenient, but the upgrade will have a slightly bigger effect on the overall supply of SUVs, as Chrysler will need to end its relentless build pace at the factory for a three-week shutdown starting on December 22. The good news for fans of the SUVs is that once the work is completed, we should see a gradual expansion of the color palettes for both the Durango and Grand Cherokee, beyond even what's offered now.
