1979 Jeep CJ5 with clear title.  Jeep is mostly in pieces and is not complete.  You are bidding on axles, frame, full steel  body, roll cage, seats and brackets, transmission and transfer case in need of rebuild, wiring harness for the tub, speedometer, wheels and lots of small parts.  NO ENGINE.  I do not see the vin tag on the body but may be covered by the undercoating.  May not be there.  There is a vin number on the dash panel.  The dash panel has been cut and bent through this tag, making it hard to see.  There is no way to know the true mileage but ebay made me enter a number so I used 300,000.  Title is marked unknown mileage. 

I bought this jeep with another and put one together and this is what is left over.  It will need a LOT of work to get on the road.

The axles are amc 20 rear and dana front and appear to be in very good shape but I have never used them. I do not know the gear ratio but the axles were a set.  No brake drums on the rear. No brake lines. Spring perches are mounted on top of axles for lift.  The frame is very solid but has been covered in heavy diamond plate steel from just in front of the rear forward spring mounts back (about half the frame) and has been painted. I assume the frame was rusted in the back but I did not do the repair so I do not know for sure.  Springs in good shape but needs bushings as there is one missing.  The tub appears to be from an older jeep as it has the tool box under the passenger seat. (might explain the absence of the vin tag).  There is surface rust on the tub but it is not rotted out.  Even the tool box floor is there, although it has a crack that will need welded.  I do not know if there has been previous work done on the body. You will need to do some body work to be nice but this is a good body to work with.  There has been some modifying on the tub to alter the front body mounts but does not alter structure that I can tell (see pictures).  No tailgate and the fuel tank is in the back.  You will need a body mount kit.  Fenders are nice and grill is fair and not rusted out.  Windshield frames (2) are rusted through but could be patched and used.  No glass.  Roll bar is straight and not rusted.  There is a steering column but is missing parts.  Uses a GM column.  Foot pedals are there but no e-brake.  Front seats are 2 brand new corbeau 5 point harness but have a couple minor tears from being moved around (see pics).  Also a nice aftermarket fold and tumble rear with no brackets (or you could have my black and white Laredo rear seat from my driver and I'll keep the fold and tumble, you choose).  Also a set of cheap plastic racing seats in good shape included for a total of 5 seats.  Transmission is a T-150 and needs rebuilt.  The transfer case is a dana 20 and might be ok but will need checked out.  Please assume the transfer case is no good and will need rebuilt.  No top at all.  No radiator.  No drive shafts.  No steering box or shaft.  31 x 10.50 tires are not road worthy but do hold air.  Wheels are nice but need painted and are wider than stock so you could probably mount 12.50's on them but I don't know for sure. 

You will need a trailer or flat bed truck to take this home.  I will not ship it.  Please ask any questions and I will try to answer as best I can.  If you need more pictures let me know.  Thanks for looking!
