1973 Jeep Cj5 (304 V8) Colorado Vehicle (low Reserve) on 2040-cars
Jenison, Michigan, United States
I purchased the Jeep a couple years ago from the second owner who
purchased the vehicle in Colorado in 1981. The vehicle has not seen a Michigan winter Now has complete glass body The body is white gel coat (has never been primed or painted) Aftermarket jeep seats Original 304 V8 equipped (has newer Jasper long block with low miles). Edlebrock intake and carb. (very quick vehicle) 3 speed manual (newer 3 speed, but have orig trans and xfer case. The orig trans needs 3rd gear) I believe the axles to be original - note sure of the exact specifics regarding the size or ratio Dual exhaust, 3" suspension lift 33" Grand Prix tires ex. cond (12.50 x 15”) Front tow bar (flat hauls great), Reese hitch Only has a half top - no doors The frame and suspension are very solid with no rust although there is
an area on the Front passenger side that was repaired prior to 1981 presumably as a
result of an accident. The repair was done well and has held up well for over 30 years. This is a very nice old Jeep but I don't use it and need the space it
is taking up. You can call Dan at 616-836-4369 with any questions. Please only bid if you are serious.
If you have less than 3 transactions or less than 95% positive feedback
please call me to discuss the vehicle before you bid. Note: the winning bidder is responsible for making arrangements for
shipping. A deposit of $500 needs to be
posted to my Pay Pal account within 24 hours of the end of the auction. The balance needs to be paid in full before
the vehicle leaves my possession. |

China orders Jeep to investigate Wrangler fire risk
Mon, 06 Jan 2014It's been some time since we've heard anything about fires related to the Jeep Wrangler (foreign or domestic), but it sounds like the go-anywhere SUV could be in hot water once again in China. Bloomberg is reporting that the Chinese government is ordering Jeep to investigate the matter and, in the meantime, also recommending Wrangler owners to not drive their vehicles in "extreme conditions" due to a "relatively high risk" of catching on fire.
There is no indication as to how many vehicles or which model years are affected, but the previous fire problems in both the US and China - which led to investigations but no recalls - were traced back to automatic transmission fluid leaks. The article, however, does not say what the potential problem is this time around as Jeep has not released a comment on the matter. The official notice, in Chinese, can be found here.
Chrysler registers Trackhawk trademark
Wed, 01 Oct 2014There may not be many ways to forecast what an automaker is planning for the future, but there are some. Trademark applications are one of them, and Chrysler has just applied with the US Patent and Trademark Office to protect the name "Trackhawk." The question is, what's it planning on using it for? We don't know for sure, but we can put together an educated guess or two. And one guess is that Jeep will use the name to replace the letters SRT on the performance version of the Grand Cherokee.
How do we figure, you ask? From a number of developments. For starters, the SRT division has been reintegrated into the Dodge brand. Those letters currently appear on only two vehicles from outside the Dodge lineup: one is the Grand Cherokee SRT, and the other is the Chrysler 300 SRT. We've heard ruminations (however unconfirmed) that the latter could be either discontinued or possibly relabeled, and if the same proves true of the GC, the Trackhawk name could serve as a on-road performance counterpart to the Trailhawk label applied to off-road versions of models like the Cherokee and Renegade.
Logical it may be, but it's hardly a foregone conclusion. The Trackhawk name could just as easily be used for a new concept (like the Trailhawk name was in 2007), for another kind of trim level or for something else entirely. In fact we don't even know for sure it'll be used by the Jeep brand specifically, or used at all for that matter. Automakers have been known, after all, to register names they don't end up using.
2015 Jeep Cherokee finds a bit more fuel mileage thanks to stop/start and aero tweaks
Mon, 06 Oct 2014Just a year after it burst onto the scene, Jeep has already made a pretty substantial addition to its V6-powered Cherokee, which has proven to be an extremely popular seller so far for the brand, adding a new stop-start system for the midsize, off-road-ready CUV.
The addition of stop-start included a few aerodynamic tweaks to the Cherokee's polarizing body, resulting in a wallet-pleasing increase in fuel economy. According to the EPA, the front-drive, V6-powered Jeep will now return 21 miles per gallon in the city and 29 mpg on the highway, up from 19 city and 28 highway. Four-wheel-drive, V6-powered Cherokees, meanwhile, will now return 20 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway, up from 19 mpg in the city and 27 mpg.
With 271 horsepower, 239 pound-feet of torque and these newly enhanced figures, it's refreshing to see a larger, naturally aspirated engine that is still able to take the fight to today's crop of small-displacement, turbocharged four-cylinders.
