1961 Cj5 on 2040-cars
Irvington, Alabama, United States
|
This is a 1961 Willys Kaiser CJ5, 4 cylinder with Tuxedo Park Mark III trim, it is convertible with a folding windshield and completely open body style if desired. This jeep is part time 2 wheel drive or a part time 4 wheel drive with all new seats and belts installed recently, the paint job is not original however it is extremely nice. This particular model of the CJ5 came stock with a hood and body made of heavy gauge sheet metal, a larger windshield frame, and a new passenger car type handbrake located to the left of the driver underneath the instrument panel. There is nothing on the interior or exterior of this jeep that is damaged, no rot through rust, no exterior rust on the outer surface and minimal surface rust to the chassis that is from natural aging. It has NEVER been exposed to salt water or mud and has never been driven off road, never. The tires on this jeep have some wear on them however are still worthy of quite a few miles. The speedometer was recently replaced with an exact replica due to the temperature gauge on the original speedometer malfunctioning, the original speedometer is available also if the buyer would like to have it. The maintenance of this vehicle has been remarkable considering the Jeep's age. It has truly been babied by both of it's original owners. The Jeep was bought brand new by a Korean War Veteran in 1961. It was sold to a retired individual by the original owner in 2001. I bought it from the second owner about 2 months ago. I intended to sink a few bucks into it and fully restore this jeep however it is not something I am able to do at the present time. Here's the best part about this Jeep: IT HAS ONLY 19,000 ORIGINAL MILES ON IT!!!! This baby maneuvers like you wouldn't believe! I will give the buyer the new door skins and Bimini Top. It has a soft top as well that was recently purchased and is in excellent condition. It has been garage kept and only driven in nice weather it's entire lifetime. I have driven it about 20 or so miles since I bought it. I'm willing to negotiate with anyone who is serious about taking this winner off my hands. I am moving soon and would rather for it to go to someone who will love it as much as it's been loved over the years. The title is clear. The buyer won't be disappointed! Good Luck!!!! |

Chrysler resolves recall issue with NHTSA, will inspect, upgrade affected Jeeps
Tue, 18 Jun 2013Chrysler made big news earlier in the month by refusing a recall request from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for the 1993-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2002-2007 Jeep Liberty. Last week, NHTSA boss David Strickland countered by defending his agency's request for the recall of 2.7 million Jeep SUVs. Today marked the deadline for Chrysler to formally respond to NHTSA, and it seems that both parties have met in the middle with Chrysler inspecting and upgrading some of the affected vehicles without using the word "recall," which would constitute the admission of a defect; instead, Chrysler said that it is conducting a "voluntary campaign."
At issue on these vehicles is the positioning of the fuel tank behind the rear axle that could get damaged during a rear-end collision. NHTSA has stated that at least 51 people have been killed in rear-end collisions involving these Jeeps after the vehicles caught fire, to which Chrysler countered by pointing out that both models "met and exceeded" the requirements for fuel-system integrity.
As a compromise on the situation, Chrysler says that it will inspect all pre-2004 Grand Cherokees and pre-2007 Liberty models and, "if necessary, provide an upgrade to the rear structure of the vehicle." According to Automotive News, this upgrade will consist of adding a trailer hitch that will presumably better protect the rear-mounted gas tank. Vehicles already equipped with a factory or Mopar hitch will not be modified. Chrysler's official statement on the matter is posted below, but no additional information has been released, such as when the campaign will begin and how many vehicles could be affected.
Jeep Wrangler likely to get aluminum body, will stay in Toledo
Mon, 27 Oct 2014Perhaps more than any other vehicle currently for sale in the United States, the Jeep Wrangler is viewed by purist fans as a vehicle that simply must maintain the status quo. In this case, that means a body-on-frame design, solid axles, a relatively large engine sitting up front and a removable top. It's always been that way, and it always will be.
Maybe.
According to the most recent reports, the next-generation Jeep will continue to soldier forth with a full steel chassis underneath its stamped bodywork. The biggest change, reports Automotive News, will be that said panels will be hewn from aluminum instead of steel, a seismic shift of a transition not unlike what's happened with the new Ford F-150. Because it won't be a unibody, the SUV will likely continue to be assembled in Toledo, OH as it (almost) always has been - the latter has been a source of heartburn in recent weeks for the Northwestern city in the Buckeye State.
Chrysler defies NHTSA, says it won't recall 2.7M Jeep Grand Cherokee, Liberty models
Wed, 05 Jun 2013Facing a possible recall totaling around 2.7 million of its most popular SUVs, Chrysler remains insistent that the 1993-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2002-2007 Jeep Liberty are safe vehicles. This comes on the heels of a recall request from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for these two models due to fuel tanks mounted behind the rear axle, which could possibly be ruptured during severe rear-end collisions, leading to an increased risk of fire. In response to the allegations, Chrysler says that it does not agree with NHTSA nor does it plan on recalling either vehicle.
Chrysler said both SUVs "met and exceeded" the requirements for fuel-system integrity, and cooperated fully with NHTSA since the investigation was opened in 2010. While 15 deaths and 46 injuries have been reported from fires caused by rear-end collisions on these models, Chrysler is claiming that the vast majority of incidents cited by NHTSA were "high-energy crashes," including one where a stopped Grand Cherokee was rear-ended by a tractor trailer going 65 miles per hour.
The automaker wraps up by saying "NHTSA seems to be holding Chrysler Group to a new standard for fuel tank integrity that does not exist now and did not exist when the Jeep vehicles were manufactured." Scroll down for Chrysler's official response to NHTSA, but we're pretty sure this isn't the last we've heard on this issue.
