Normal 0 false false false EN-US JA X-NONE I searched for 2 years to find the right combination of factors for my Jeep. I wanted a RUST FREE, all metal, well maintained CJ5 with the factory Tremec T176 4 speed, and the 258 6 cylinder. They are not easy to find, unless you are willing to pay $20k or more. Most CJ’s I saw were either rusted out, beat up from off road use, or prohibitively expensive. It also has the Dana 300 transfer case, the AMC 20 rear end (3.54 ratio) and the Dana 30 front axle. The rims are period correct American Racing Wheels and the tires are in good condition. It has headers with side exhaust (sounds great), good seats, a back seat, Bestop bikini top and roll bar cover, half doors, and RS 5000 Rancho Shocks. It also has tilt and power steering. Chrome bumpers with receiver hitch, and a locking metal console with pad. As you can see, the body is VERY solid and straight. The panels on the rear are decorative and are not covering problems (you can see and feel the metal, see pics). If you are building a $25k Jeep, this is an excellent CJ to build on, as it will not require body work or rust repair. If you are buying a driver or an off road Jeep, it’s ready to go. This is the Renegade model (no decals now, but they can be purchased) and has the lower side trim, the metal base between bumper and grill for mounting a winch, tilt and power steering, high back seats, etc. The entire body and frame on this Jeep is amazingly solid, straight and rust-free. In my opinion, the body alone is worth the sales price. Although I do not use it off road, the 4wd was just tested and works fine. I have been retired for years and only use it for Nice Beach Days. The ONLY reason I am selling it: I promised my wife a new car, so I need the money and garage space now. I have listed it with a very low reserve (several thousand below market value) and also reduced the price in case you want to buy a soft or hard top (I don’t need it here in South Florida. It’s Never driven in the rain. The aluminum piece on the dash is for a removable stereo and can be easily removed if you don’t use a stereo. It needs a turn signal switch ($20 on Ebay). I will consider ending the auction early for $7,500 with a $500 Paypal deposit due to my need to sell. If you are interested in doing this, please call me early, as I cannot do this when the bids approach this price (out of fairness to bidders). Once the bidding approaches this level, I will let the auction run its course. Please keep in mind that this is a 34-year-old vehicle and does have normal wear and tear. It is being sold with no warranty and “as is”. I welcome you to inspect and drive it. Call with any questions at 239-404-5575. I will also advertise the Jeep locally and maintain the right to cancel the auction early. I will require a $500 deposit within 24 hours and full payment within 72 hrs. I will need a bank wire transfer, cash or bank cashier check. If payment by bank cashier check, I will release the vehicle after it clears my bank. I am happy to work with your shipper and the Jeep will remain in a locked garage, undriven until pickup.
