1978 Jeep Cj5 Chevy V8 Currie Dana 60 And Ford 9in Custom Frame 37's on 2040-cars

 I will be listing this Jeep 1 time.  If It does not sell, I will keep it and work on it over the winter.  Like most Jeeps, this one needs some minor things to be 100%  I just don't have time for the Jeep right now.  I own 7 Jeeps.

Every Jeep has a story and so does this one.  The person that re-built the Jeep was in NY.  He sold it to a guy in DE.  The Jeep had a Chevy 406 small block with over 500hp.  Way too much for a tall CJ5.  That person took the 406 out and sold it to me with a Chevy 305 V8.

I suggest you look at the Jeep if you are serious and close enough by.  It's garage kept in Coopersburg PA 18036. Clear title in my name.

Jeep can be shipped.  YOU MAKE ALL THE ARRANGEMENTS.  There will be a $300 fee on top for shipping.  The shipper normally comes on a week day and I need to take off work.  Shipper cannot make it to my rural house, so I have to pay someone to rollback it to a shopping center.  Jeep is not insured, registered, or inspected.  It will pass, except I don't think the horn is hooked up. 

Now for the Jeep:

Had a brand new frame, no rust.  Think it's by Advance Frame Works, over 2k

Unknown make fiberglass body and front end.  Nice paint, except drivers fender needs repaint.

Nice Best top soft top and soft doors.

Currie built Shaved Ford 9 inch front rear, Detroit Locker, 3.73 gears

Currie built Hi Pinion Dana 60, disk brakes, e brake, Detroit Locker, 3.73 gears  These rears over 9k for the pair.  They look brand new yet.

Custom front shaft, CV rear shaft

Has stainless hinges and mirrors

Custom front bumper with 11k Quadratec Winch and 8 inch Hella lights

Custom rear bumper with tire carrier.  I have a brand new 37in MTR for it, but no rim.  A rim is $70.  Bumpers and winch/lights $1500

Oversize 25 gallon fuel tank, custom skid, reverse lights, LED rock lights, sunken rear tail lights, Rocker Gaurds

Vanco power brake system, stops awesome with 4 wheel disc, over $500

Aluminum radiator with electric fan, over $700

GM SM465 granny 4 speed trans with adapter to Dana 300 twin sticked, 1k for that setup with adapter

New flywheel, Center Force clutch, hedders, nice custom Flow Master exhaust system out the rear

Chevy 305.  I don't know much about the motor.  Motor runs good, has new 327/350hp cam, new oil pan, new holley 600, HEI distributor.  Motor actually surprised me with the power, new plugs, MSD wire, cap and rotor.  The oil pan is dry and so is the rear main seal.  The power steering pump has a leak at the rear connection and I think the valve cover has a leak.

Interior has a custom dash, but is missing 2 gauges.  Wires are there for the gauges.  Needs  Volt and temp gauge.  Oil pressure is 60 - 80lbs when running.

PAINLESS wiring harness

Tilt wheel, tuffy steel center console with a CD player and amp.  Speakers in dash and on the floor. 

Seat covers are a little faded, there are harnesses for seatbelts.  Has a rear seat

Has a full roll cage tied into the frame.  The spreader bars are too far in and right over your head.  Bars need to be mover toward the outside.

Rims are brand new steel $300

Tires are Goodyear MTR.  The 4 on the Jeep all have over 1/2 tread and they are radial 37 x 12.5 x 17  spare is Brand New

Has a AGR steering box and borgenson steering shaft $500

Dual shocks up front, dual stabilizers

Has working heater

I'm sure there is more I'm missing.

Needs rollbar spreaders moved, some gauges in dash, stereo wires hooked up. Needs battery

The AGR box is a quick ratio.  I can sit at idle and turn the steering wheel with my pinky and turn the 37's.  This makes for some touching steering while going down the road.  I would put a stock box in and sell that AGR.  I can drive it, I've had over 20 Jeeps.  I had a computer alignment and it's right on.

Fix the one or two small leaks.  Oil pan and rear main is good, don't think intake is leaking.

Original owner lifted the Jeep with spring under springs.  The pack consists of 12 leafs.  Also has about 1 1/2inch body lift.  I would take some springs out of the pack or just buy 4 new BDS springs and drop it down a little. 

That's an honest description of this Jeep.  I have 100 percent feedback.

The frame and rears are less then the starting bid.  Like I said, I will keep it if it doesn't sell and work on it over the winter. 

I do have a trailer.  I can deliver the Jeep, with full payment, up to 150 miles for $2 a loaded mile.  Can store, with full payment for up to 2 weeks.
