This 1979 Jeep CJ5 is a weekly to sometimes daily driver for me for the last year. Mileage is unknown - has a newer speedometer that was installed prior to my purchase but speed and odometer work but are off. Has an aftermarket tach attached to the steering column. The engine is the inline six cylinder and it has run great the whole time I have had it. A little oil seepage from pan but nothing serious that I can see. Previous owner and myself have used synthetic oil. What I have added to it so far is a new battery, new gear box and high pressure power steering line and new blower. Noticed last oil change that it needs new outer tie rod ends which I priced at $14.00 a piece. Does not have a glove box or radio. Pictured are the two cosmetic problems in the lower front panels located behind the front wheels. The top is a Best Top and it is in fair to good condition except for the side rear zip in windows which are missing. Also, the velcro needs to be replaced on the drivers side flap which I have pictured. Has a v shaped tear on the top of the roll bar cover. Jeep comes with a Haynes repair manual. The Jeep is sold as is with no warranty. Buyer is responsible for pick up/shipping costs. Please understand this is a 34 year old unrestored vehicle. It is a perfect vehicle to just get in and drive or a great base for restoration which I have no desire to do. I have a low end reserve so please look at KBB or NADA for approximate value. Thank you for looking.

Jeep gunning for 1M sales this year
Thu, 16 Jan 2014Jeep CEO Mike Manley would rather soft-pedal the seven-figure prognostication for now, but Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne won't have it, proclaiming in an interview that Jeep will sell one million units worldwide this year. Manley has called that come-hither number "a stretch," the history of recent gains perhaps reason for his caution: in 2011 the brand sold 568,317 units, followed by the record-breaking tally of 701,626, then another record in 2013 with 731,565 units moved.
That kind of gap means everything will need to go magically for Jeep to record a 37-percent increase this year - amazing Cherokee sales, a brilliant launch for the little Jeep arriving in Europe later this year and a heavy wave to raise sales in US, European and Chinese markets. Manley is confident about the prospects in 2015, though, with the Cherokee in full stride, the Fiat-based Jeep on its way to the US and expanded global production. It's not as though Marchionne's prediction for Jeep's 2014 sales is unexpected, since he first made it last year. But even if the number ends up a little short for 2014, there's no doubt it will be impressive.
Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT gets power increase, minor tweaks for 2015
Tue, 02 Sep 2014As a brand within Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, SRT may have an uncertain future, but it's pumping out some seriously mean machines anyway. The supercharged Hellcat V8 may be gobbling up most of the headlines with its 707 horsepower, but even the Grand Cherokee SRT is getting some small updates for the 2015 model year.
Most importantly for many enthusiasts, the Grand Cherokee SRT is getting a slight power bump. Don't expect the 700+ hp from the Hellcat, but this SUV sees a modest 5-hp and 5-pound-feet of torque improvement to bring output to 475 hp and 470 lb-ft for its 6.4-liter V8 with an eight-speed automatic. The minor change doesn't change the sprint to 60 miles per hour, clocking in at the same 4.8 seconds, or the tow rating at 7,200 pounds. Still, more grunt is never a bad idea.
Another new addition is the Active Noise Canceling system as a standard feature for this powerful SUV. It adds four microphones around the vehicle and uses the stereo system to nullify extraneous sound. However, Jeep claims that the meaty exhaust note from the V8 still gets through into the cabin for driver enjoyment.
