1976 Jeep CJ5 79,xxx miles on odometer Jeep was bought as a project/toy. I have upgraded/fixed most all problems to make this a capable daily driving CJ5. There are still a few things that could still use attention, but overall the jeep can be driven daily. I drive it 20 miles a day on nice days to work and back. I encourage buyers to come look at this Jeep and drive it prior to bidding. It is an older vehicle and has more character than a new car or jeep would have, but is still very reliable for a weekend warrior, project vehicle or great for a toy/farm truck. Will not ship. Must pick up in person. The jeep is in Louisville, KY 40242 and can be seen by appointment
Tires are 31" Swamper TSL's (2 have 50% tread, 2 have 25%).
Drivetrain
AMC 304: Does not use/leak oil, great oil pressure. Radiator flushed, never gets above 200 even when idling on hot days in traffic.
New stuff: aluminum header gaskets and cleaned up headers, good valve cover gaskets, rebuilt MC2100, manual choke, motorcraft distributor, MSD 6AL ignition box, cap, and E-coil, plugs & wires, Delco SI alternator, belts/hoses/fuel lines, fuel pump.
T-150 3speed trans: very drivable and shifts decent. May need a clutch in a few years, has some trouble holding to shift into 3rd gear. No leaks and recent fluid change.
Dana 20 T-case: shifts great. No leaks and recent fluid change.
Dana 30 front: New axle joints, tie rod ends, passenger side spindle, both spindle bearings/seals, wheel bearings/seals, Warn premium locking hubs, brake rotors, pads, calipers, steering gear box and new suspension u-bolts. Very slight leak from diff cover and just had fluid changed. Stock gearing, not sure of exact gear.
Model 20 rear: New wheel cylinders, steel brake line, vent line, drum hardware, inner axle seals and shoes. Drums are in decent shape. Very slight leak from diff cover and just had fluid changed. Stock gearing, not sure of exact gear.
Body
Mostly stock with minimal rust. Driver fender is the worst (see picture). Tube fenders would be a great fix for the front fenders! It looks like the PO had removed most rust but there are signs of bondo in some areas that do not show rust. Most of the paint will shine up pretty well.
Most body mounts are ok, 2 could use some attention at some point. Roll cage has front hoop by the dash. Gas tank is custom made, roughly 26 gallons, and has working gas gauge on dash.
The entire jeep has been rewired with a Jegs 12 circuit harness. All connections made with weatherproof connectors and all lights and signals work. The horn is the only thing nonfunctional and is due the steering wheel switch not being connected.
I have an older spice soft top to match the doors but the rear window zipper is torn and it is not in the best shape. I have a brand new bikini top and a cab cover that I keep on it most of the time. The jeep has been stored out of the weather for the past 2 years and has been taken really good care of.
Extra Parts
Original Motorcraft alternator, prestolite distributor, and what is left of the factory wiring harness
Half of a 5 gallon bucket of gear oil can go with it (diffs, trans, and t-case fluid)
Factory 304 Exhaust Manifolds (getting hard to come by) and a new hi-lift jack can be thrown in too for the right price.

FCA CEO Mike Manley will run Americas for Stellantis after PSA merger
Sun, Dec 20 2020DETROIT — Fiat Chrysler CEO Mike Manley will run operations in the Americas when his company merges with FranceÂ’s PSA Peugeot early next year. FCA Chairman John Elkann announced ManleyÂ’s new post on Friday in a letter to employees. ManleyÂ’s role in the merged company had been a mystery. PSA CEO Carlos Tavares will run the overall company, to be named Stellantis. Shareholders of both companies will vote on the merger Jan. 4 to seal the deal creating the worldÂ’s fourth-largest automaker. The merger is expected to be completed by the end of March. PSA will get six seats on the new companyÂ’s 11-member board, which will be chaired by Elkann. The Americas, especially the U.S., are key to the new companyÂ’s success. Fiat ChryslerÂ’s Jeep and Ram brands are highly profitable, and Tavares has long wanted to sell PSA vehicles in the U.S. Manley has been the Italian-American automakerÂ’s CEO for 2 1/2 years, taking over when Sergio Marchionne died in 2018. Stellantis will have the capacity to produce 8.7 million cars a year, just behind Volkswagen, the Renault-Nissan alliance and Toyota.

Jeep leads list of 25 most patriotic brands
Thu, 04 Jul 2013It's not unusual to feel extra patriotic this time of year, what with the Fourth of July being today and all. As if to celebrate, New York-based research firm Brand Keys conducted a study among 4,500 consumers about what brands they find to be the most patriotic. According to the Detroit Free Press, Jeep took top honors in this study, besting other American stalwart brands including Coca-Cola, Levi's and Hershey's.
Interestingly, the only other automotive brand to make the list was Ford, in the 16th spot (motorcycle fans take note - Harley-Davidson claimed the No. 13 slot). This means consumers found Jeep to be more patriotic than any of the brands in the General Motors portfolio, including Chevrolet, which has long used American themes in its advertising over the decades.
According to Brand Keys, Jeep came in "with a score of 98 out of 100 on a scale representing consumers' emotional engagement expectations," the Detroit Free Press reports. Be sure to read the report to scan the entire Top 25 list for yourself.
Dodge and Jeep recalling 895k SUVs for possibility of headliner fires
Fri, 11 Jul 2014Dodge and Jeep are announcing recalls of a total of 895,000 Durango and Grand Cherokee models worldwide from the 2011 through 2014 model years. There's a possibility that the wiring in the sun visor can short circuit and cause a fire. It specifically affects vehicles built between January 5, 2010, and December 11, 2013, and there are approximately 651,000 of them in the US, 45,700 in Canada, 23,000 in Mexico and 175,000 outside of North America.
Screws that fasten the sunvisor to the headliner may pierce wires in the visor, if the part has been removed or serviced, potentially causing a fire risk. If the wires short circuit, they could overheat and potentially combust. The automakers report three injuries caused by this defect, and according to the investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, "there may be a total of 52 unique fire incidents."
To fix the problem, Dodge and Jeep will inspect the vehicles for suspect wiring, and all of the models, whether damaged or not, will get a new sun visor spacer with a wire guide to stop the possibility of short circuits. According to the automakers' announcement, "this condition is not present in vehicles which have not had the headliner or vanity mirror serviced." They will notify affected owners, and repairs will begin in August.
