I have a nice little 1971 CJ5 for sale. If you're looking for one to make a cream puff out of this may be it.
Let me clarify one item so we're all on the same page. I'm going to say this Jeep is rust free. What I mean by that is there are no panels to replace, no floors to repair, none of that painful stuff. Now is there some light surface rust in places, certainly but nothing major. This Jeep stayed in an enclosed garage all its life. The dad bought it in 71. Mississippi didn't have titles at the time. The son acquired it in 78 and that was the first title issued. He has had it up until a few months ago. A guy bought it for his wife, she couldn't drive a manual transmission and I ended up with it. I have no idea what the actual mileage is.
Starting with the good. Sound body, new windshield, 10ft paint job (not professional). Runs and drives nice. Transmission shifts perfectly, Spicer/Dana 18 single stick transfer case shifts and works great. Locking hubs on front. Seats are OK, but could stand new covers. The headlights work and one tail light works. Blinkers are toast. New steering wheel (it had a chain steering wheel on it when I got it).
Now for the not so good. None of it really bad, just things that will need to be addressed. The previous owner (PO) was let's say creative and so there are some things needing attention.
Let's start with the gas tank. It had this monster what looked to be homemade tank in it when I brought it home.It had been sitting for a little over a year so thankfully they decided to use a boat tank (pictured) and not try to use this tank. It must have been near full when they stopped driving it since the tank had several inches of crud and rust in the bottom. It was also welded into the Jeep. I cut it out and you can still see part of one of the mounts in one of the pictures. So the boat tank is in it for the present. Your choice would be a rear mounted original tank or getting an underseat kit available online. While we're taking about the tank. The PO cut a access hole in the bed floor to access the sending unit and fuel line hookup. Can easily be repaired but its there. For some reason when he put the monster tank in it, he moved the gas filler to the side where the spare tire mount would be. No clue why. I moved it back to the correct spot, put a spare tire carrier back on and covered the hole with aluminum (pictured).
If it doesn't sell, my plans are to get a EZ Wiring 8 circuit kit and rewire the Jeep. The wiring on these Jeeps was sketchy to begin with. The lights and blinkers need addressing so doing the whole thing just makes sense. The kits are less than a $100. Cheap for the peace of mind. I've already bought a new turn signal assembly with horn for the Jeep.
Part of the heater was missing and the fan didn't run. I was able to pick up a good original heater for the Jeep and this will be included. I've been leaning more to a Mojave type heater mounted on the passenger side. Just an option.
The dash is nice except where the PO drilled some holes for a speaker. I think this could be repaired with little trouble. There is no glove box. I noticed a homemade cover over the hole to access the brake master cylinder.
The tool box under the passenger seat has some minor surface rust but otherwise good to go. A little brushing and some paint and it'll be fine. Seats could use some attention but serviceable as they are.
It has a 225 Dauntless V6. Runs great. Starts right up. The air cleaner is one I had laying around. I would like to find an original so I could hook up the PCV hoses correctly. The PO put a crossflow radiator in it at some time. The rear seal on the transfer case was leaking pretty bad when I got it. I replaced the seal this past weekend and now good to go. It has a new starter in it. It starts up fine but I'm just not sure about the sound it makes when the starter engages. 4WD and hubs lock in and out as they should.
The left front fender took a lick at some time and had a 2 - 3" split in it. It looks like they put bondo on it and didn't weld the split up. The bondo has since fallen out. Will need to be repaired.
As for the tires. Although they look good in the pics, they would only serve you around the neighborhood at slow speeds or on the farm. They will need to be replaced. They're cracking on the sidewalls pretty bad.
That's about it. I need to free up some space in the shop but I'm not going to give it away. Its too nice a Jeep for that. You don't find Jeeps like this east of the Mississippi, especially in mud country.
$500 non-refundable deposit within 48 hours of auction end. The rest due in cash at pickup. Cashier's Check Ok but must clear bank before Jeep will be released. All moneys should change hands within 7 days. I'll work with you or your carrier to get it loaded. If you have less than 10 feedback, don't bid, I will cancel and block your bid. No exceptions. Please ask all questions through Ebay before bidding. I'm available most of the time to talk so leave your number and I'll call you back. Thanks.

Jeep gives a trio of customs an encore showing at SEMA
Wed, 05 Nov 2014While Jeep certainly had some new customs on display at this year's SEMA show, it wasn't afraid to recycle a few that people might have missed from earlier this year. The maker of many beloved off-roaders already displayed the Jeep Cherokee Dakar, Maximum Performance Wrangler and Wrangler Mojo at the 2014 Easter Safari, but they all made it to SEMA for an encore.
Based around the Trailhawk, the Cherokee Dakar (pictured above) imagines an even more off-road-capable version of the crossover. The concept wears a mix of Silver Steel Stain paint with Flame Red graphics and rides on 17-inch wheels wrapped in 33-inch BFGoodrich Mud Terrain tires. To back up the rugged look, the Dakar is fitted with rock rails and skid plates protecting the oil pan, front suspension, fuel tank and other underbody parts. It also sports prototype parts from Jeep Performance Parts, including a lift kit and fender flares.
The Wrangler is one of the paragons of off-roading, and as the name suggests, the Maximum Performance Wrangler concept is meant to be the ultimate example of what it can do. The custom features locking Dana 60 axles front and rear, a 4:1 Rock-Trac transfer case, prototype 4-inch lift kit and 37-inch Mud Terrain tires over beadlock wheels. To stay on the trails well into the night, a bar of LEDs is mounted above the windshield. And finally, the Mopar Blue exterior kind of makes the vehicle look like the world's toughest blueberry.
Jeep reveals annual Moab Easter Jeep Safari concepts
Wed, 20 Mar 2013Jeep has unveiled its annual spate of concepts before the Easter Jeep Safari. Those start with the Grand Cherokee Trailhawk Concept (below left), complete with the company's EcoDiesel V6 engine. Designers threw in a set of 35-inch Mickey Thompson tires wrapped around 17-inch Rubicon wheels, and a set of custom fender flares help keep all that rubber under wraps.
Meanwhile, the Wrangler Mopar Recon (below right) packs a 6.4-liter Hemi V8 good for 470 horsepower. All that grunt gets to the ground via a five-speed automatic transmission and a set of a Dana 60 axles frond and rear with 4.10 gears. The Recon also makes use of a 4.5-inch prototype long-arm kit and a set of prototype eight-lug bead lock wheels.
The Wrangler Stitch (below left) builds on the momentum of the Wrangler Pork Chop Concept. Engineers once again set out to strike as much weight as possible from the vehicle, and actually managed to trim the curb weight down to 3,000 pounds. That effort has given the machine the same power to weight ratio as the Grand Cherokee SRT8. Plenty of carbon fiber, door deletes and a chrome moly roll cage all help trim those pounds, and a set of DanyTrac Pro Rock 44 axles with 4.88 gears and ARB lockers front and rear let this machine scramble over whatever is in its path.
Key-swapping thieves steal Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT from FL dealer
Sat, 09 Nov 2013Just a few weeks back, we reported on the theft of an Audi RS5 by a pair of creative thieves who managed to swipe the car's keys when the salesperson stepped away from their desk. Now, a Florida dealership is missing a Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 after some crooks switched the Jeep's keys with an identical, non-functioning set.
According to the report from local NBC affiliate WPTV, the men went in and spoke to a dealer about the Jeep. They walked outside, took a look at it, started it up and in the process managed to switch out the fobs. After doing their time with the salesperson, the thieves walked back out to the car, got in and drove away.
"I mean obviously, the way it was done, I think that they were professionals and they knew what they were doing," said Arrigo Jeep General Manager Joe Tufo. "The fact that they did it in broad daylight and switched the key fob and it was like it was nothing. That's what makes it unique," he added.
