1970 Cj5 4x4 Fiberglass Body With Plow No Reserve on 2040-cars

Year:1970 Mileage:0

No Reserve- highest bid gets it!  This is a very good CJ5 that I use strictly for plowing.  It has a rebuilt F-134 4-cylinder engine, although I have no idea when it was rebuilt or how many miles or hours are on it.  It runs very strong, but does burn some oil.  It starts every time and runs very well.  It has a rebuilt carburetor, new fuel pump, new battery, new plugs, new wires, new cap, new coil, and has been converted to electronic ignition.  The lights work, and so does the heater… although no top or doors are included.  I only used it for plowing, and have never driven it on the road.  It would need some work to be road worthy, so plan on trailering it home.  The brakes could use some attention, and  the transmission may have a syncro out or something because it only goes into first and reverse gears.  I haven’t looked into it because I didn’t need 2nd or 3rd gears anyway.  I do have another transmission that will go with the Jeep, however I know nothing about the condition of it.  The 4-wheel drive works and I have brand new Mile Marker hubs for it, only one set is installed.  The other lockout on it is the original Warn and still works just fine.  The tires are newer Bridgestone Blizzak’s and show virtually no wear.  The plow is a Western 6’-6” I believe, and has the cylinders for angling it however they are not hooked up.  You have to manually angle the plow right now, but they could be made to work.  I have some hardware for that.  The up and down cylinder works as it should.  The body is fiberglass, except for the steel hood and windshield frame.   The CJ is pretty in its own way, and gets a lot of attention from the plow guys with newer trucks.   Please ask any questions before bidding.  If you’re local, I encourage you to come take a look at it.  It’s a plow vehicle and it would need “A LOT” of work to restore it.  Clear Michigan title in my name.

Total auto recalls already on record pace in 2014

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

If you've noticed that there have been more recalls than usual this year, you may be on to something. According to a report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the US market is on pace to break a record for recalls. In 2013, 22 million cars were recalled. We're only a third of the way through 2014, though, and we've already halved that figure, with 11 million units recalled. That's wild.
Considering the past few months, it shouldn't be a surprise that General Motors is leading the charge, with six million of the 11 million units recalled coming from one of the General's four brands. Between truck recalls, CUV recalls and the ignition switch recall, 2014 hasn't been a great year for GM.
Other recall leaders include Nissan (one million Sentra and Altima sedans), Honda (900,000 Odyssey minivans), Toyota (over one million units in a few recalls), Volkswagen (150,000 Passat sedans), Chrysler (644,000 Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs) and most recently, Ford (434,000 units, the bulk of which were early Ford Escape CUVs). So while it's been a bad year for GM so far, its competitors aren't doing too well, either.

Jeep sets all-time sales record in 2012

Wed, 09 Jan 2013

Last year was good to Jeep. Chrysler has announced its trail-rated brand set an all-time global sales record in 2012 by moving 701,626 units. That number easily surpasses the previous record set in 1999 when Jeep sold 675,494 models. All told, the brand saw a 19-percent sales increase worldwide over 2011, and much of that swell can be traced directly to the Wrangler. While the Grand Cherokee led Jeep sales, the Wrangler posted record numbers both globally and within the US, moving 194,142 and 141,669 units in each market, respectively.
Meanwhile, the Compass beat its previous global sales record with 103,321 units rolling off of dealer lots. In the US, Jeep sold 62,010 Patriot units, breaking that model's previous record as well. Jeep's impressive performance in 2012 marks the second year in a row the brand has seen double-digit percentage sales increases. Check out the full press release below.

LA-bound 2014 Jeep Wrangler special edition gives us the Willys for $25,795

Mon, 18 Nov 2013

The Jeep Wrangler might be the reigning king of special editions, but with sales records being broken almost all year, this plan is obviously resonating with buyers. Joining new models like the Dragon Edition and Polar Edition, the 2014 Jeep Wrangler is adding a new Willys Wheeler Edition to pay homage to Jeep's military heritage.
Getting ready for its big debut at the LA Auto Show, the 2014 Jeep Wrangler Willys Wheeler Edition is inspired by early Willys CJ (Civilian Jeep) models with exclusive styling and upgraded off-road goodies. Starting with a Wrangler Sport, these upgrades include a Dana 44 rear axle with limited-slip differential and 3.73 gears, along with meaty BF Goodrich KM Mud Terrain tires mounted to the Willys Wheeler's black 17-inch wheels. For more of a classic Jeep look, this model adds a gloss black grille, "Willys" hood stickers and rock rails to protect the side sills. Jeep is also tossing in a D-ring, tow strap and gloves that are all kept in a special carrying bag.
When it goes on sale early next year, the Wrangler Willys Wheeler Edition will start at $25,795 for the two-door model, while the four-door will start at $29,595. There's an official press release posted below, and we'll be sure to have live images of the special-edition Wrangler live from the LA Auto Show floor later this week, so stay close.
