A True Survivor! A very original, 1970 Kaiser-Jeep CJ5. Re-listed. The last auction missed the reserve by a few hundred dollars so, I am adding a "Buy It Now" price. Note: This is a "5 Day Auction". I need to sell this Jeep now as I have other projects that need shop space. Description: This Jeep is a survivor. I am unaware of others in this original condition. The Jeep is completely stock. It even has the original, oil bath air cleaner. The previous owner told me that the Jeep has less than 40,000 miles and lived most of its life on a farm in Arkansas where miles were low but the vehicle worked hard. The previous owner made the re-spray a few years ago and replaced the carburetor, speedometer, turn signal system, radiator, hoses, wiring, tires and a few other items. I built the roll cage for the sake of safety. I replaced the heater core, installed rebuilt and recovered Tuxedo Park seats and various trim items. I also added the period correct, Warn "Belleview" Winch. This winch was the only electric winch available when this Jeep was new. It works perfect and could likely tug the little CJ up a tree. The Dauntless V6 pulls like crazy and has incredible torque to the 3 speed transmission. Issues: This is an original, 44 year old Jeep! It drives fine but is a cobby old creature! To make it road perfect, I would replace the springs, shocks, upgrade to the common, larger front drum brakes and maybe a power steering system.I would also replace the 44 year old seals in the transmission and resurface the grabby clutch at the same time. The body is almost rust free with some degradation in small reinforcement struts under the tub and these areas have been neutralized. The heater needs ducts in the cab. The Warn winch needs new actuating cables. All of this is pretty trivial. I have way too many projects and a busy racing season. Take this old girl to a new home and put her on display.
