She’s got the LOOK!
Selling my wife’s 1979 Jeep CJ5 Custom Resale RED “Hot Rod”!
Yeah you heard me right my wife’s Jeep. A couple of years ago she wanted a toy
to ride around town in and take to the local car shows and monthly cruise in.
Well she found this Jeep and fell in love with it. It is COOL, FAST, LOUD,
DEPENDABLE, FUN and gets attention everywhere you go. This Jeep underwent a full frame off restoration. Then later the owner at that time had an awesome Chevy 350 V8 built and installed. The professional engine builder estimates the horsepower at 350 HP It is mated up to a GM TH350 automatic transmission attached with
Advance Adapters to the stock Dana 20 transfer case with custom drive shafts
running to a stock front end and to a fully custom Ford 9 inch rear end. The
rear was narrowed and features Lock-Right Powertrax Automatic Positive locking
Differential. The front axle sports Pro-Comp hubs. Controlling the TH350 is a B
& M bump shifter with reverse lock out. If you want to leave a red light
FAST this Jeep will make it happen with slight pressure on the right foot! Features: 15 x 10 Eagle Alloys Mickey Thompson 33 x 12.50 Baja Claw Tires (less than

range Disc brakes front and Drum rear stop the Jeep straight
and safely The interior is clean and nice It sounds GREAT! You will wake your neighbors The winch has never been used and works as new w/ remote Passes North Carolina inspection All lights work – Headlights both low & high, brakes,
running and turn signals All gauges work perfectly Indicator lights for high beam and turn signals all work The windshield wipers work in both high and low speeds The Bad: The paint is not 100% perfect. Hey it is a Jeep right? There are a few very small chips on the front edge of the
front fenders There are two paint chips on the driver’s side entry area
hidden with the doors on There are two small dings on the hood (no chips) that do
not show in the pictures There is one very small ding on the top of the driver’s
side front fender There are some small blisters in the paint on the cowl behind the hood in front of the windshield There is a very small oil leak around the transmission oil pan It has a new horn but it needs a new horn switch in the
steering column. It works if the wheel is turned just right. The indicator light for the four wheel drive is not
hooked up There is not a park brake put it is an automatic so no
big deal The glove box is fake and only a chrome door cover for
looks True miles on this Jeep are unknown. The Jeep shows 22K miles since the frame off restoration and build. You also get a folder almost two inches thick of receipts,
engine specs and owner’s manuals for the winch and carburetor. We have owned three CJ’s and two Wranglers and have never
had one this cool and so well done. With a short wheelbase, lifted, oversize
tires and twice the stock horsepower this Jeep deserves respect. Having driven
it now a couple of years I find it very easy and fun to drive. We call it our
Go Cart! I ran it down I-40 two weeks ago for five miles both ways and kept up
with all traffic easy in a 70 MPH speed zone and it tracked and handled GREAT.
I added 3 degree shims under the front axle last year and it improved the
steering considerably but on grooved two lane country roads it will wonder. On
good smooth roads and highways she drives straight & easy. The total investment to date on this Jeep exceeds $18,000.00.
I have the reserve set a few thousand under that number. This Jeep is for sale
locally for $16,500.00 and I reserve the option to end this auction immediately if the Jeep
sells. This is a very nice Jeep and I’m sure I have missed listing some of the options. Clear North Carolina title in hand in my wife’s name.
Terms: I require a $500.00 deposit via PayPal by the winning bidder within 24 hours. Full Payment and pick up within 7 days of close of auction. Buyer responsible for pick up or transportation. I welcome any questions. Please feel free to contact me on
my cell at 336-480-7851. Thank you for looking and happy bidding. Mark |

Jeep's new Chip Away commercial has us hunting Al Pacino's back catalog
Tue, 19 Feb 2013Chrysler has done a pretty good job as of late turning its television commercials into pep talks or rallying cries, but for its first ad for the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee, it turned to Al Pacino's inspirational speech from the movie Any Given Sunday. In the movie, Pacino's character talks about how football is a game of inches, but the commercial, titled Chip Away, focuses more on the attention to detail that Jeep has exhibited on its updated flagship SUV.
Centering around the newest Grand Cherokee model, the luxurious $47,995 Summit trim level, the commercial shows off some of the hand-stitched leathers and real metal and wood accents found inside the cabin. Check out the new 60-second spot by scrolling below.
Gilles defends 2014 Jeep Cherokee design as "very contemporary"
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Following the forced-hand introduction of the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, there has definitely been a mix of responses revolving around everything from its design to the return of the legendary nameplate. As evidence of this, just check out the 1,000+ comments in our article last week and some of the many opinions that were voiced. Following this not-too-warm reception, Ward's Auto had a chance to talk to Chrysler designer chief - and SRT president - Ralph Gilles, who shed a little more light on the styling direction of the new Cherokee.
Rather than looking to previous models for inspiration, Gilles says that the Cherokee has been designed to be more contemporary, with Mark Allen, head of Jeep design, adding that a main goal was to make sure the design still looks modern five years from now. Interestingly, Gilles does point out that one of the design elements incorporated on the new Cherokee that pays homage to past Jeeps is the sharply downward angle for the leading edge of the beltline, which he notes is meant to mimic the look of the old YJ and TJ Wrangler models fitted with half doors. Of course, the squared-off wheel openings - a signature Jeep cue - are still used.
This is probably a design that will need to be seen on the street in actual daylight to properly assess, but in the meantime, we'll bring you full images and impressions when the Cherokee debuts at next month's New York Auto Show.
Chrysler taking big risk snubbing NHTSA
Wed, 05 Jun 2013Maker Insists Feds Overstate Risk Of Fires With Grand Cherokee, Liberty Models
It's not often that recall stories make it above the fold, in that old newspaper parlance, but when one shows up as the lead story on the network evening news programs, you know it's something big.
And so it is with Chrysler snubbing its nose at a request by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to recall 2.7 million Jeeps the feds insist are at risk of potentially catastrophic fuel tank fires in a rear-end collision.
