Hello all! Up for sale is my 1974 (vintage) CJ 5! As you have already seen it's a radical machine. The colors speak for them selves. I bought the Jeep from Pennsylvania and have enjoyed it ever since. However, my parents want me to get a more civilized car and it is pretty loud so it does not go well for the neighbors as well. Sadly 5 months is all i could get to enjoy from this beast. I am not to familiar with jeeps and this was my first one but i had a lot of fun in it, on and off the road (but no too off after all i cannot afford to scratch that paint job). I will start off first with the paint. As you can see it's radical and it's a head turned. Everywhere i go people ask me about and even take pictures of it. A guy estimated the paint jobs value and he told me the paint it self was worth $5000. This was done ALL by hand alone and no stickers were used. Unfortunately it is not PERFECT but it is in amazing shape for a 8 year old paint. There are some small spots that have bubbled up but that is about it, it is not chipping off and about 98% of it is solid with years of life left. I clean it regularly to preserve it and it has a spot in the back under the "Summit" sticker that it has some rust but it's not noticeable and by spraying it with WD 40 it will prevent from further rusting. I were to say it is maybe an 9.3/10. The minor things are really none noticeable unless you are 1 foot away examining it. But even with flawless the paint job alone is outstanding and no one will even see past the amazing colors. People will either love it or hate it, which is a good thing. Now for the other things that i can remember, it is a 3 speed with a nice 327 small block chevy motor. It has a 4in lift and 2in body lift and the lockers on the back wheels. That means the back wheels spin at the same time but it still handles amazing on the road and i have had no troubles making U turns, it's a Jeep not a Ferrari. Last time i dynoed it te rwhp was about 178. That is a good number and with it weighing about 2600 pounds that thing is amazingly quick. The tires are almost brand new they are Pro Comp with about 90% of tread left and a brand new one on the back. The dimensions are 31x12.5x15 with awesome rims that still look brand new with no scratches. I also put a new clutch in it about 2 months ago so that's good as well. I have done a lot of work and time invested into fixing minor problems on the car along with a friend of mine. As of right now everything works the way it's supposed to and there are no issues. It is a custom vehicle but labor is not really expensive and nor are the parts. You can do most of the maintenance your self. The only thing that does not work are the windshield wipers. It's an easy fix but i do not drive the car in the rain, so i don't need them as it is. Why would i want to get that amazing paint job wet and risk rusting it? There are lots of new parts on this Jeep but i simply do not have the time to list them all, just give me a ring and i will run them down. Go to an Auto Show and see if you will be the winner, i already wowed the people near my area, and caution this beast is LOUD! Below is the video if the dyno-ing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_L2vbSoyiA I really do not what else to say, there is lots more but no time.
