Awesome 1979 Jeep CJ Sedan. I want to explain that I am selling this reluctantly as I purchased it in 2004-05 and worked on it until my sister's unexpected health issues caused me to move to Maine to take care of her. Since I didn't own/drive the vehicle much there is a lot I have forgotten about since I haven't seen recently it until a couple of weeks ago-so bear with me as I try to list all the details. The Jeep was initially stored inside but space became an issue and it had to be moved outside where it has been for about 5 years. Jeep has the original 304 V8 engine . Anyone with knowledge about Jeeps will know the 8 cylinder Jeeps are getting harder and harder to come by. This CJ has four speed heavy duty transmission and many extras such a Mean Green Alternator,MSD High Vibration coil, electric fan, heavy duty gas tank shell, Dick Cepek tires on American (?)chrome rims, Warn hubs, BF Goodrich 33X12.5 15 Mudders (4 tires/wheels and spare),stainless front bumper, stainless dash, stainless grill, stainless mirrors. Has a 4" rollbar , matching side rock slider set, and gray carpeting Fender flares have been added.Jeep ran well when I left it and my dad started it last year to move it and said it ran well- but system needs to be flushed before running it again and I don't have the resources to do so from Maine. Has power steering/power brakes and Grant leather steering wheel. The Jeep will need to be transported by the new owner-I have driven t on the highway but it is very high and I would not advise it on a regular basis! Has a four barrel Holley carb as well as many other extras I cannot recall. Has a Ramsey Winch and KC lights in the front. Has Powertrax lock right lockers installed but comes with the original spider gears as well. Jeep is lifted 6" over the axles. Beautiful heavy duty cast differential covers front/rear. I had just purchased (and had installed) a new Painless wiring harness but some fool broke into the Jeep a week after I left and stole the Sony CD player I had put into it-so the wiring needs mending. I will include all kinds of spare parts (starter, front seat, rear seat, soft top doors and support, stainless parts, original spider gears,ect.) I have a nice pair of TJ seat brackets/ sliders I will throw in. Will include the original dash and hard doors as well as a HEAVY tow chain.. Jeep comes with the impossible to find ACME hardtop and doors. I travelled from Massachusetts to Big Rapids Michigan to get this nice set. Price does not include Hi-Lift jack. As you can see, everything needs to be cleaned, body frame needs a sand/bead blasting, ect. One of the Cepek tires was leaking air and may/may not be good-I took it off and put the spare on it so it can be moved.I will throw in a set of cj7 fiberglass aftermarket doors and rear hatch for parts,/glass. (I had to purchase these to scavange the highly sought after door latches to use on the Acme doors). Mileage on my title is 102,794 but that is approximate as I have added only a minimal amount since I purchased it.Since I can only be there to meet with the owner after the sale, I am selling this AS IS. It comes with hundreds of dollars in spare parts as shown. I am trying to be completely honest in my listing but I don't need any complications either but will be glad to answer any questions through ebays' messaging system. This was a beautiful Jeep a few years ago and needs some work but it is solid and a classic CJ 4x4 .New buyer is responsible to pick up but I will work with you if time is an issue.On Jun-06-14 at 00:28:21 PDT, seller added the following information: Obviously this is a CJ5 but I forgot to note that in my listing. Also, before it was parked I had a custom made prop shaft installed by Mitchell Driveline which was in the neighborhood of $500.On Jun-11-14 at 08:29:15 PDT, seller added the following information: Update: I just found my paperwork and maintenance records (as I have been moving). The transmission is a Borg-Warner T-18A 4 speed with 6:1 1st gear. The tub was new in 2004 with new poly mounts. Mean Green 130 amp alternator($330), Mean Green high torque gear reduction starter($320). The wheels are 15x10 Superior chrome. 1pc solid axle rear shafts, Lock-rite lockers front and rear, Tom Woods custom long-spline, booted c/v joint rear driveshaft($350), Ramsey Pro 8000winch and roller fairlead, 23 gallon oversize fuel tank w/skidplate, custom HD rollbar, auxialary electric cooling fan w/thermostat and manual override, Heckethorn booted gas shocks, steering stabilizer bar, Warn/Jeep 6botl lockout hubs, dual exhaust. I had the front spindles replaced in 2004 (before it was parked) that was ($210)-also had the front hub replaced ($50). I also had $350 in brake work done (Master cylinder, rear brake shoes, wheel cylinders at a cost of $350). My receipt for the prop shaft was $200 (not $500). I have all the receipts for the big dollar items and work done recently to back up the costs.
