1978 Jeep Cj5 Base Sport Utility 2-door 4.2l on 2040-cars
Columbia, South Carolina, United States

This was my fathers jeep. He bought it from a hunting buddy in 1980 and had it until his death in 2012. The car lived in Northern California until September 2013 and never saw rain. He would take it out of the garage for hunting season, tow it to his campsite, and tow it back to his garage when hunting season was over. Of the 42K miles, I would estimate that 1/3 to 1/2 of those miles were put on the jeep with the engine off being towed behind his truck.
The jeep has been outfitted for hunting. There is a rifle rack between the driver and passenger side. Fog lights were added. A Warn Winch ($1000?) was installed sometime in the last 5 years or so. The soft top is in mint condition as are the doors. I think the only time they were ever used was to ship the Jeep from Northern California to South Carolina. The back seat has never been used. The glove compartment was removed to install the rifle rack and is in perfect condition. I had a new battery put in during a full service in September 2013. Also had a new ignition switch put in. There is also a tow hitch-bar that can be used to tow the jeep behind your truck or RV. Everything works with the exception of the gas gauge. I do not know what is wrong with it. The rear view mirror is missing. My father may have removed it for better visibility while hunting. The tires have great tread on them, more than 60%, and appear to be fine, however, they have been on the jeep as long as I can remember (25+ years) and the new owner may want to change them out. My father was meticulous and the Jeep has been well cared for. I've put about 100 miles on it since September, and it runs great, very responsive. Since my fathers death, I've learned many things about him that are extremely unpleasant and I can't look at this jeep without those reminders, so I am selling it.It is very fun to drive. If you are looking for a well built AMC jeep with low miles that has been well cared for, please feel free to email me with any questions. Please request additional pictures and I will take an upload. Shipping is buyers responsibility however I will assist with shipping if needed. |

Chrysler recalling 630k Jeep models worldwide
Thu, 06 Jun 2013Despite its refusal to recall 2.7 million Jeep Grand Cherokee and Liberty models this week over a gas tank fire risk, Chrysler will be recalling 630,000 Jeep Compass (pictured), Patriot and Wrangler vehicles around the globe for a pair of entirely different reasons.
The affected Compass and Patriot models are all from the 2010 to 2012 model years - 254,000 in the United States, 45,400 in Canada and 109,000 elsewhere in the world. In these models, a software error may result in the late deployment of the side airbags and seatbelt tensioners. In the event of a crash, failure of these systems could result in more serious injuries for the vehicle's occupants.
Jeep's go-anywhere Wrangler also faces a separate recall due to power steering fluid lines that can possibly wear a hole in the transmission oil cooler line. According to Chrysler, the vehicles could then leak fluid, possibly damaging the transmissions. Roughly 221,100 Wrangler models are being recalled because of this issue, all of which are fitted with Jeep's 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine. In the US, 181,000 vehicles are affected, with an additional 18,400 in Canada and 21,700 additional units worldwide. A Chrysler spokesperson said that no crashes or injuries have been reported with either case, according to the Associated Press.
Chrysler to accelerate production of 2013 Ram and V6 engines
Fri, 16 Nov 2012Chrysler is adding a third shift at its Warren Truck plant to meet demand for the new 2013 Ram pickup. And with tight supplies of its Pentastar V6, the company is also boosting output at its Mack Engine plant.
The expansions will add 1,250 jobs and are part of a $238 million investment by Chrysler in the Detroit area. Warren's third shift will begin work sometime in the spring, a Chrysler rep told Automotive News. Mack's increased Pentastar production a could include both 3.6 and 3.2-liter engines.
The company says it also plans to invest $40 million in its Trenton Engine plant to allow for production of a 3.2-liter V6 as well as the Tigershark inline-four for the upcoming Jeep Liberty replacement.
Jeep Cherokee won't get diesel until sales of oil-burning Grand Cherokee improve
Tue, 01 Jul 2014Okay Jeep fans, you want more diesel options? Time to step up and prove it. The only way Jeep will offer a diesel powerplant in the Cherokee, according to brand head Mike Manley, is if sales of the Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel nearly double.
Currently, about eight percent of the Grand Cherokees sold feature the 3.0-liter, EcoDiesel V6. That's simply not enough to warrant the bringing an oil-burning Cherokee to the US market, despite the vehicle's presence in Europe, where it's sold with a 2.8-liter diesel V6.
"Cherokee is slightly different because of its weight and size. When I think about bringing Cherokee diesel here, I would like to see Grand Cherokee diesel get much higher than eight percent," Manley told Automotive News. "It would have to be in mid-double digits."
