Hello & Thanks for Looking,

Up for auction is my personal 1975 Jeep CJ5 V8 Softop. 

I bought this as a basket-case and have sorted through this truck to make a truly reliable and fun Jeep. I've gone through and replaced almost all of the electrical connectors from the front turn signals to the new LED brake lights and almost all the wiring between.There are no electrical gremlins, and the alternator charges incredibly quickly. I've been using this Jeep as my daily driver for some time, and the farthest I've driven it is 350 miles in one way (8hr trip) . This CJ5 starts the first time, every time.

As life would have it, my wife and I are expecting our first child so the Jeep has to go. It's a real shame because I've spent so much time and money to get this Jeep to the way you see it today. The condition report should be read at the bottom for consideration. With a little paint, this could easily be a $20,000 truck, because everything mechanical has pretty much been done.


Buyer must co-ordinate shipping if buyer requires freight, but I'm very to work with a shipping company if needed.

Being over 40 years old, this CJ5 is in great mechanical shape. There are several nicks, and paint defects and with minimal rust (please see pictures).

-This is a California truck, and has a current/clear CA title. The registration & plates will expire on 5/14/14, and will cost $19 to register after that date in CA.

-The paint has been touched up, but it's an older metallic paint it is hard to match, but it is close. The hood has some clear coat damage, but still looks good. The cowl vent has a chrome blank panel installed, and the blue paint has chipped on the chrome. On the passenger/drivers side there are a couple bubbles under the paint near the jeep logo.

-The transmission reverse gear synchros grind when going in reverse sometimes, but I added new fluid additives so it may go away. The synchros got worn because the previous owner used it as a parking brake.

-The brakes pull slightly to the right initially, I believe it's a front pad issue since the previous owner drove this Jeep with the master cylinder/booster working.


-Being a California Jeep, there isn't much rust for the age. The passenger side front tub support shows some old rust damage, but it's doing it's job (there's a photo from underneath)Typical small surface rust near the exterior reinforcement panel on both sides.  


These are all to be expected from a vehicle of this age. The CJ5 was made for utility so it's amazing these trucks survived at all!

Please contact me if you have any questions of if you want to take a test drive. Also, please email me if you would like more photos (eBay will only allow 12 of my photos per auction).

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee pricing leaks out

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

With our deep dive and auto show coverage of the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee revealed at the Detroit Auto Show, we brought you as much information as Chrysler would allow us to, but one thing we're still left in the dark about was the pricing. It would seem that Jeep Garage might have the answer for that. The Jeep enthusiast forum claims to have gotten its hands on the ordering and pricing breakdown for the updated Grand Cherokee, and while a Jeep representative has yet to get back to us as to the validity of the site's claim, these preliminary numbers look pretty kosher to us.
In base form, the two-wheel-drive Laredo will reportedly start at $28,795, which is a $1,100 increase over the 2013 model year, and the new Grand Cherokee Summit trim level starts at $47,995 for 4x2 models and $50,995 for the 4x4. Waiting for the new diesel engine? The torquey new 3.0-liter oil-burner will be a $4,500 option on Limited, Overland and Summit 4x4 models, but 4x2 pricing (and availability) are not known. As for the range-topping Grand Cherokee SRT (no longer called the SRT8), this added performance could run you an extra $2,700 with a new starting price of $62,995. More importantly, loaded to the gills with all available options, the 2014 Grand Cherokee SRT will top out at around $72,400 - or around $6,000 more than a fully loaded 2013 GC SRT8.
We'll let you know if the gang over at Jeep get back to us with any confirmation, but until then, head over to Jeep Garage to see the pricing details it has listed.

Fiat/PSA's dominance in small vans hangs up EU's merger approval

Mon, Jun 8 2020

BRUSSELS — EU antitrust regulators are concerned about Fiat Chrysler and Peugeot / PSA's combined high market share in small vans and may require concessions to clear their $50 billion merger, people familiar with the matter said. The companies, which are seeking to create the world's fourth biggest carmaker, were told of the European Commission's concerns last week. If Fiat and PSA fail to dispel the European Commission's doubts in the next two days and subsequently decline to offer concessions by Wednesday, the deadline for doing so, the deal would face a four-month-long investigation. The EU competition enforcer, which has set a June 17 deadline for its preliminary review, declined to comment. Fiat was not immediately available for comment while PSA had no immediate comment. Hiving off overlapping businesses, usually a regulatory demand to ensure more competition, could prove tricky for the carmakers because of the technicalities. Fiat and PSA are looking to merge to help offset slowing demand and shoulder the cost of making cleaner vehicles to meet tougher emissions regulations. The deal puts under one roof the Italian carmaker's brands such as Fiat, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Maserati and the French company's Peugeot, Opel and DS.
