Up for your consideration is my 1971 Jeep CJ5.
This Jeep has been restored to better than original condition. The front half(ffrom the door post forward) is original. The floor is 1/8 inch(!!!) steel, so will not flex or rust thru in our lifetime. The rear fenders and tail are new steel. There is NO rust on this body.
The engine is the original Buick "Dauntless" V6 with unknown miles(its a jeep). Still runs strong and drive it daily in the summer. The transmission is 3 speed,transfer case in one, so it tends to be noisy, but not excessive considering the age. The axles and suspension are original, with the front closed hub 25 with drum brakes. The rear is 44 with drum brakes. Brakes are upgraded to power.
There is a "cold air intake" installed, but I have the original air cleaner assembly. Optima yellow top battery.
The soft top is a newer "Bestop", with split doors and many options for riding. I have a bikini top that adds to the fun.
Interior is clean with nice sports seats. Guages include Autometer tach, oil, and temp. volt,amp, and air pressure guage for the on board air. Fire extiguisher included, as is the Hi-lift jack on the front. Upgraded power steering with tilt wheel.
All of the lights are converted to LED lights, except the headlights, which have the H4 conversion. The Back- up light is mounted into the spare, and is 55 watt.
This Jeep has won an award at a car show, and turns a lot of heads on the summer with the top off. There is a lot of history and love that goes with this Jeep.
Please keep in mind that if you are a larger person or tall, remember that it is an older style CJ5, with comfortable sport seats. If you are larger, you will want to change seats.
Please note that this is for sale locally, so I reserve the right to sell before the reserve is met at auction. once the reserve is met, I will stick with the auction. Thanks for your consideration.

Fiat 500X poised for Paris catwalk
Wed, 05 Feb 2014We've known for some time that the new, Fiat-based baby Jeep (which may or may not be called the Jeepster) is set to arrive at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show. What we weren't sure of was whether its platform mate, the so-called Fiat 500X, would be doing so alongside or at a later date. Well, according to Reuters, we'll get to see the first all-wheel-drive 500 later this year in the City of Lights.
Yes, we can expect the 500X to arrive at the 2014 Paris Motor Show, according to an official with an Italian trade union. The unnamed source cited retooling at Fiat's Melfi factory, in southern Italy, which currently produces the Grande Punto. It's expected that the newest member of the growing 500 family will replace the Suzuki SX4-based Fiat Sedici, although when the X will go on sale remains an open question.
According to Reuters, both the Jeepster and 500X will be built alongside each other in Italy. Whether the 500X will cross the pond with it's slat-grilled cousin, though, remains to be seen (we're leaning towards yes).
Chrysler's Jefferson North plant builds 5-millionth SUV [w/video]
Thu, 15 Aug 2013Chrysler's Jefferson North Assembly Plant opened in 1992 for production of the first Jeep Grand Cherokee, but in the subsequent years, the Detroit plant has gone on to produce some of the company's biggest SUVs including the Jeep Commander and Dodge Durango. Earlier this week, the plant produced its five-millionth SUV, which, fittingly, was a Grand Cherokee.
Celebrating the plant's five-millionth unit, the silver 2014 Grand Cherokee was promptly donated to the USO. In addition to this milestone SUV, Chrysler also had a near-perfect 1993-95 ZJ Grand Cherokee on hand for the photo op. Scroll down for the Chrysler press release as well as a video showing some of the speeches from the celebration.
Jeep idles second shift it hired a month ago for 2014 Cherokee
Tue, 24 Sep 2013In an unusual move, Chrysler is idling its recently hired second shift of 2014 Jeep Cherokee builders because, Chrysler spokeswoman Jodi Tinson said in a statement, it already has built the "critical number of vehicles we need to stock dealerships once containment is released," Automotive News reports.
After the "critical" 9,430 Cherokees were built, the layoff was enacted so as not to strain the automaker's logistics partners before the Cherokee is actually released. Chrysler says the temporary layoff will last about two weeks, with 500 workers out of work and another 600 reassigned at the Toledo Assembly Complex where the sports utility vehicle was being built. The second-shift workers were hired on August 19.
Chrysler previously insisted that it would release the Cherokee to dealerships by the end of the third quarter, and it initially planned to start selling the SUVs in mid-August. Apparently the Cherokee needed a software fix before hitting showrooms, which is how Chrysler explains why the release schedule is out of whack. We're thinking that this software fix addresses the "powertrain calibration" issue that delayed the first media test drives of the model. According to the Toledo Blade, Chrysler has admitted it is doing "extended quality validation testing" but refused to provide more information.
