Cj5 Jeep 1965 Willys Rock Crawler 350 Dana 60s on 2040-cars
Bluffton, South Carolina, United States
The title indicates this vehicle as a 1965, but the Buick
V6 that came with was only offered in 1966-1970, so the model is probably a
'66. The engine is new; the miles indicated on the odometer are for the engine
(currently 20 miles). This is a CJ5 purpose built for serious off-roading and
rock crawling. The vehicle has current registration in AZ and is insured, but
is not a street vehicle. The brake lights do work however. The Jeep starts and
runs great; the body is in bad condition. This is a trail rig not a show car.
There is a lot of body rust and damage, this way you won't feel bad if you
scrape it on a rock while climbing some boulders. All of the work has
been done at home not in a shop. I have spent over $18K building this rig and
untold hours of time. I have not driven it off road in over 5 years, so it is
time to let it go and at less than half of my investment. Engine: Chevy 350 crate motor 264 hp, 346 lbft. K&N tall air filter Holley Truck Avenger 670 carburetor Edelbrock Performer EPS aluminum intake Power Steering SBC Block Hugger Headers, ceramic coated Completely independent dual exhaust with

vehicle needs: Glovebox latch, it stays open. Fender trimming, the rear
tires will hit the fenders when flexed out.
A trailer is available for purchase if the buyer wishes.
It is a Carso 16’ utility/hauler with ramps stored under the deck. It has 18” high
rails, a treated wood deck, a ball hitch and a 7-round wire attachment for
lights and electric brakes. It is wide enough to fit a full size truck. The CJ5
just fits width wise (plenty for length). The trailer has current CA registration.
I will throw in the trailer for $500 if the buyer wishes. The trailer is not
available alone without purchase of the Jeep. |

GMC boss wants a Jeep Wrangler rival
Wed, 12 Nov 2014Challengers come and challengers go, but the Jeep Wrangler continues to push forward even after vehicles like the Toyota FJ Cruiser and the entire Hummer brand have been shut down. Now GMC reportedly wants to take a stab at the quintessential Jeep, as well.
The news comes directly from Buick-GMC vice president Duncan Aldred, speaking with our compatriots over at Edmunds. Although Aldred said there are no plans currently on the table to expand GMC's lineup beyond the current range, "there is plenty of room everywhere in the hierarchy."
That could include a rival to the Wrangler, as well as a flagship luxury SUV positioned above the current Yukon Denali (pictured above). Just when (or for that matter, if) such models might come into fruition remains a big question mark, but it's certainly interesting to see what GM's dedicated truck brand has on the drawing board.
Chrysler recalls 350k vehicles over ignition switches
Thu, 25 Sep 2014Chrysler has announced a recall covering 349,442 vehicles due to ignition switches that can either become stuck or move without warning. All of the affected vehicles are from the 2008 model year, and were built before May 12, 2008.
The automaker has learned that ignition keys on some vehicles "may not fully return to the 'ON' position after rotation to the 'START' position during engine-startup," the company said in a statement. Additionally, "an ignition key may not fully return to the 'ON' position after rotation to the 'START' position and may inadvertently move through the 'ON' position to 'ACCESSORY' or 'OFF.'"
Chrysler says it is unaware of any related injuries, and notes that while reduced braking, engine or steering power is possible in such instances, the airbags are not affected. The later stands in contrast to General Motors' recent rash of high-profile recalls, and it's an important distinction that Chrysler (understandably) felt necessary to call out in bold print in its press release.
2014 Jeep Cherokee facing production delay
Fri, 17 May 2013Jeep's bold-faced new direction spearheaded by the 2014 Cherokee is facing some teething issues. According to a report by the Detroit Free Press, production start-up of the controversial new utility vehicle at its Toledo North facility is running about a month behind schedule "due to a wide range of issues." That's according to Mark Chernoby, senior vice president of engineering at Chrysler.
Chernoby maintains that the issues being encountered aren't unusual for the launch of a new vehicle - particularly one with a new powertrain - and he downplayed the delay, telling Jeep dealers that they "will have ample inventory of the midsize SUV by fall." Among the kinks being worked out? Calibrating the Cherokee's cutting-edge ZF nine-speed automatic transmission and refining assembly line tasks to make the process more efficient.
Chrysler expects to start building retail-ready versions of the Cherokee around mid-June, with official sales slated to start in September.
