1974 Jeep Cj5 Desert Tan Tons Of New Parts! on 2040-cars
Monroe, Connecticut, United States
|
Here is a 74 Jeep cj5. This vehicle was traded to me for labor on a 69 Land Rover. Since I specialize in Land Rover restoration I have no need for this Jeep. The previous owner had the jeep since 08 there is a recent invoice for about $1700 in parts and labor plus I added about $1800 worth of parts to get the jeep more presentable.
Body-
I recently repainted the body in desert tan, I liked this color as it gives the Jeep a very expedition/ military look. The paint job is very utilitarian and looks fine from about 10 feet away but there are small drilled holes dings, and roughly finished bondo work that is apparent close up. The old paint was scuffed and it was 2k urethane primed and top coated in desert tan acrylic enamel. The left fender, windshield frame, windshield frame gasket and driver side floor were all replaced with new units. There is bondo on the body which appeared sound so I painted over it. There is some rot on the passenger side under the body supports and on the bottom of the tailgate. The windshield has a crack and is not installed in the new windshield frame, a new windshield shouldn't be too expensive maybe $200 or so. The seats are the original and in great shape I added a new original style steering wheel and new speedo. The top is in ok condition there is a crack in the rear window and a small rip on the roof.
Engine/trans- The 6 cylinder engine runs great, it was being driven before but I have not road tested the jeep. It has a new starter, battery cables, starter solenoid, valve cover gasket, distributor cap, rotor, carburetor, throttle cable, voltage regulator, upper and lower hoses, radiator cap and full exhaust system. The heater core is leaking so it is disconnected it, the radiator has a small leak as well. There is also a new 20 gallon plastic fuel tank complete with skid plate and sending unit that is ready to install this was about $350. The transmission is a 3 speed and shifts fine with no obvious synchro or clutch problems.
Electrical-
The jeep has a painless wiring harness. The headlights, taillights, brake lights, turn signals, and heater blower motor all work. The jeep also has a new speedo assembly. The taillights and parking lights are new. The headlights, taillights, brake lights and turn signals all work, the horn does not.
Frame-
The frame has surface rust but no rot or repairs. The jeep has a lift but I am not sure how much probably 2.5'' the rear suspension is very stiff, I would recommend replacing it with something softer riding. The power brakes work good I added 2 new lines on the rear axle that were very corroded. The tires a re 31'' and have decent tread left.
Overall this is a functional Jeep that needs a bunch of finishing up work that can be easily accomplished by the new owner.
Connectiut does not issue titles for vehicles older than 1980, the Jeep is sold with a bill of sale and old registration only.

Chrysler recalls 468,700 Jeep Grand Cherokees, Commanders over rollaway risk
Mon, 13 May 2013Chrysler has issued a recall covering a combined 469,000 units of the 2005-2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee and the 2006-2010 Jeep Commander (inset). Of that number, 295,000 are in the US, roughly 33,000 in Canada and Mexico and the remainder in other markets. It seems an electrical fault in the transfer case can allow the affected SUVs to shift into neutral on their own, while an Associated Press report says that Chrysler had "found cracks in a circuit board that turns the four-wheel-drive system on and off." The issue was discovered when an owner started his car remotely and it rolled away.
Chrysler is expected to begin notifying owners in June 2013, who can then take their cars to dealers. The dealer will reflash the final drive controller free of charge. There's a bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below with more information.
Stellantis and Foxconn's new joint venture will focus on connectivity
Wed, May 19 2021MILAN — Carmaker Stellantis and TaiwanÂ’s Foxconn announced plans to develop a jointly operated automotive supplier focusing on technology to make vehicles more connected, including artificial intelligence-based applications and 5G communications. Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares said the services that will be developed through the tie-up “will mark the next great evolution of our industry,” alongside fully electrified and hybrid powertrains. The deal brings together Stellantis, the worldÂ’s 4th-largest automaker formed this year by the merger of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and PSA Peugeot, and Foxconn, a major supplier of iPhones. The companies said the venture would focus on such services as infotainment, the integration of telecommunications and computer systems, artificial intelligence-based applications, 5G communications, e-commerce channels and smart cockpit integration. The companies announced a non-binding memorandum of understanding to form a 50-50 joint venture called Mobile Drive, which will be based in the Netherlands and function as an automotive supplier also to other carmakers. The new venture will combine advanced consumer electronics, Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI) to create new services “that will exceed customer expectations,” the companies said in a release. “Customers today and, in the future, demand and expect ever-increasing software-driven and creative solutions to connect the drivers and passengers with the vehicle inside and out,Â’Â’ Foxconn Chairman Young Liu.

Auto Mergers and Acquisitions: Suicide or salvation?
Tue, Sep 8 2015We love the Moses figure. A savior riding in from stage right with the ideas, the smarts, and the scrappiness to put things right. Alan Mullaly. Carroll Shelby. Lee Iacocca. Andrew Carnegie. Steve Jobs. Elon Musk. Bart Simpson. Sergio Marchionne does not likely view himself with Moses-like optics, but the CEO of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles recently gave a remarkable, perhaps prophetic interview with Automotive News about his interest and the inevitability of merging with a potential automotive partner like General Motors. Marchionne has been overtly public about his notion that GM must merge with FCA. For a bit of context, GM sold 9.9 million vehicles in 2014, posting $2.8 billion in net income, while FCA sold 4.75 million units and earned $2.4 billion in net income, painting a very rosy FCA earnings-to-sales picture. But that's not the entire picture. Most people in the auto industry still remember the trainwreck that was the DaimlerChrysler "merger" written in what turned out to be sand in 1998. It proved to be a master class in how not to fuse two companies, two cultures, two continents, and two management teams. Oh, it worked for the two individuals at both helms pre-merger. They got silly rich. And the industry itself was in a misty romance at the time with mergers and acquisitions. BMW bought Rolls-Royce. Volkswagen Group bought Bentley, Bugatti, and Lamborghini, putting all three brands into their rightful place in both products and positioning. No marriages there, so no false pretense. Finally, Nissan and Renault got married in 1999. A successful marriage requires several rare elements in this atmosphere of gas fumes and power lust. But a successful marriage requires several rare elements in this atmosphere of gas fumes and power lust, the principle part being honesty. Daimler and Chrysler lied to each other. The heads of each unit, the product planners, and finance all presented their then-current and long-range forecasts to each other with less-than-forthright accuracy. Daimler was the far greater equal and no one from the Chrysler side enjoyed that. The cultures were entirely different, too, and little was done to bridge that gap. Which brings me back to the present overtures by Marchionne to GM. "There are varying degrees of hugs," Marchionne stated in the Automotive News piece. "I can hug you nicely, I can hug you tightly, I can hug you like a bear, I can really hug you." Seriously?
