A NEAR SHOW-READY VEHICLE FOR UNDER 6K!!! CANADIAN FUNDS TAKEN AT PAR. Here we have a restored 78 CJ5 for your consideration. The best of everything was used in the off- frame restoration and the vehicle it has never been put on the road since restored, so it has zero miles. Lots of chrome, all perfect. It has always been stored in heated, dry storage and never seen rain. The restoration was done over a period of about 5 years, and unfortunately, the gentleman who did the work was taken sick and unable to use his new vehicle. My wife says its time for it to go, so I am selling it regardless of loss. It has a fiberglass body and flip up front clip, which in addition to the 3 inch lift and 31 inch tires makes servicing a breeze. There is way too much to list but the highlights are, Rebuilt 258, chrome cover Offenhauser Intake Holly 4 barrel carb, chrome air cover MSD Ignition Dual exhaust Three speed manual with Hurst Shifter Custom interior Dropping front windshield Stewart Warner gauges Break away steering Stereo Multi- point roll cage 31 inch BF Gooderich tires Locking Hubs All new, no miles. I have receipts for over 10K in parts alone. The vehicle is 99 percent finished and ready to be used as an awesome off road Jeep or a Saturday Nite Cruiser. Minor items to be completed include a speedometer cable, horn, and front end alignment. The vehicle starts, runs and brakes perfect, all lights, instruments and turn signals work correctly. No leaks. Known Defects... There are some small spider cracks in the fiberglass on the front grill..... . I have trouble engaging four wheel drive low. The price listed is for the vehicle as is, where is. It is located near Kapuskasing Ontario and Transport is available for the vehicle from here to Toronto or area for 250.00 via a certified motor vehicle carrier. For other locations, I would expect transport fees to range between 1-2 dollars per mile. For US buyers, I am located about 6 hours from Sue St Marie Mi and Thunder Bay On. Any transportation fees will be the responsibility of the buyer. All transportation issues will be the responsibility of the buyer, however I will be available to assist in any way possible. With the advent of Uship.com very competitive shipping rates are available. Please email me with questions. The vehicle is available for a physical inspection at any time. For US buyers, importation of a vehicle over 25 years of age is easy, you just need to complete two forms. Information is here.. https://help.cbp.gov/app/answers/detail/a_id/278/~/importing-classic-or-antique-vehicles-%2F-cars-for-personal-use This vehicle is listed at far less than its value, no reserve and comes with no liens, and clear title. It is registered as a '78 CJ not a kit car, which will make transfer of title easy. As well, you will receive a service manual and all the parts receipts I have. Nervous about purchasing a vehicle without physically inspecting it? There is a certified car appraiser up here who does work for the government and antique/classic insurance companies. After you win the vehicle, you can order an appraisal for the cost of 100.00 and I will guarantee the appraised value to be greater than the price you pay, or I will refund the difference, pay for the appraisal or cancel the deal, your choice. Please, please do not bid unless you have the funds and intend to buy. I will expect a 10 percent non-refundable deposit at the close of the auction with the balance paid within seven days with cash, or certified bank funds. I can take paypal but the buyer will have to assume their 3.5 percent fees. The Jeep can be held a reasonable length of time to arrange for pickup or shipping. Please check my feedback. Thanks and I'll look forward to hearing from you. VEHICLE VIN J8M83EA053936
