Kingston, Pennsylvania, United States

Selling my 1974 CJ5. This thing is a true untouched running / driving, survivor. Even better its a Northeast Jeep with no major rust rot or body work. Original floors not rotted not repaired, original paint. 33k original miles, clean clear title. This is registered, insured inspected , and driven.
Body does have some stress cracks, dings/ scratches, minor surface rust,  a small rust hole ( pictured)on passenger rocker, and some spray can / brush touch ups, but all and all about as original as you can get. Tailgate is rust free, passenger under seat toolbox rust free! Don't expect a show jeep, but either a great driver or an excellent candidate for a restore, as most everything that came on it is still on it and works. 

Motor runs great 258 straight 6 , starts easy, idles good, etc. Original 1 bbl Carter YF carb. 4x4 works, T18 granny low 4 speed shifts good. Transfer case is greasy / oily but it doesnt leave any puddles or drips when its parked. 

New Bestop front seats, and a new Bestop bikini. Gauges all work, including fuel gauge! Heat/ defrost work , but can use new control cables. Horn even works!

Rear tail lights not currently connected. I replaced the broken originals with 76-86 CJ tail lights and didnt hook them up yet.
Original wiring/ connections still in tact if you want to put the early round ones back on.

Headlights do work.

Underneath, it has brand new 2.5" BDS springs, grease able shackles,, ( originals were completely flattened out), braided stainless brake hoses, new shoes, wheel cyls, etc. new parking brake cables come with it. 32x11.5-15 BFG AT Tires with approx 70% tread even wear. Factory CJ Wagon wheels.

Frame was cracked and plated , on both sides, ( see pic) but that's pretty common on these older CJs, good solid repair, should not have any issues.
There is no rot on the frame.

Has plow frame and pump. Pump isn't hooked up, I never tested it. No blade or undercarriage mount for plow.

Everything works great on this jeep and it drives great for a 40 year old original. I really liked the patina so I kept it original. You can probably drive this anywhere, but it won't be a comfy ride. Manual steering, manual brakes.

Windshield has some frosting from being old, but I have a good shape used glass that goes w/ jeep.

No other top than bikini, but I have the original Meyers hard top listed in an other auction.

 email me if you have any questions.

I really planned on keeping this, because how many do you come across with a T18, and this kind of original shape, but too many other projects and work have been keeping me from enjoying it. 

Please don't bid if you can pay or pick up. Feedback less than 10 email me or ill block you and cancel your bid.
If you have some crazy place you want it shipped or some plan for pickup, email before you bid please.


Local pickup, but will work with a shipper- arrangements are up to you.

Jeep does Renegade Chinese-style with Zi You Xia design concept

Sat, 19 Apr 2014

As we mentioned, Jeep is bringing a quartet of concepts to the Beijing Motor Show this year. Its largest model, the Grand Cherokee, is nowhere to be found, but its smallest is. That, of course, would be the new Renegade, which has been done up as the Zi You Xia design concept.
Taking its name from the Mandarin word (or words) for "rebel," the Zi You Xia takes its inspiration from the National Centre for the Performing Arts in Beijing, with a Warm Chocolate Gray paintjob with contrasting dark bronze trim. The roof, grille and mirror caps are color-keyed to match the rest of the exterior, riding on 20-inch alloys in the same dark bronze finish.
Inside it's all Piano Black, Anodized Copper and brown leather with plaid fabric inserts. Scope it out in the high-res image gallery above and the press release below.

Mazda2 nets Japan Car of the Year, Cherokee first US model to ever crack top 10

Tue, 14 Oct 2014

The 2015 Mazda2 is quite high up on our must-drive list. Yes, the teeny, tiny successor to the 100-horsepower five-door is worth getting excited over, largely because the previous generation was one of the absolute best smiles-per-dollar values on the market.
While we eagerly await for our opportunity to take to the 2's helm, our expectations of the new car have just been heightened thanks to its win in Japan's Car of the Year competition. Called "Demio" in the land of the rising sun, Japanese journalists handed out Mazda's second COTY award since the CX-5 took the title in 2012.
In more surprising news, the new Jeep Cherokee has made the list of 10 Best Cars in Japan. The Jeep's triumph marks the first time an American car has cracked the top ten, finishing eighth. It's not, however, the first Fiat Chrysler vehicle to snag the title, following in the footsteps of the Alfa Romeo Giulietta and Fiat Panda. Still, the fact that an American brand can make such impressive inroads into the traditionally tough-to-crack Japanese market is a seriously big deal.

Watch this Jeep Willys return to its birthplace after 70 years

Sun, 23 Jun 2013

Earlier this month, a very significant Jeep was celebrated at the Toledo North Assembly plant. No, it wasn't the upcoming reincarnation of the Jeep Cherokee, but instead it was a 1943 Willys MB that visited the Toledo grounds where it had been built exactly 70 years ago to the day.
Of course, the actual building where the MBs rolled off the assembly line before heading to Europe for World War II no longer exists, but that didn't stop Italian owner Vittorio Argento from having the vehicle shipped to the US to make its trek back to its birth place. According to Chrysler, Argento's MB is still 95-percent original and it drove 1,000 miles from New Jersey to Toledo.
The whole adventure was chronicled on a blog aptly named A Jeep Comes Home. Scroll down for a brief video from Chrysler and for some photos of the Toledo visit and be sure to read more at Argento's blog.
