Description:

1977 Jeep CJ5 up for grabs.  This Jeep is incredible; it gets attention everywhere it goes.  It is a complete off frame restoration, including a new frame and nearly all new parts on it.  It has taken about a year to complete the project; hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars have went into this Jeep.  If you are looking for a CJ with all the heavy lifting done for a low price...this is it.  I was originally going to take it to Barrett Jackson and auction it off, but with the few minor issues it has, and little time i have, i could not complete the mission.  This Jeep has nearly double the money/time into it than what the buy now price is asking.  It's priced for a quick sale because winter is coming up and i need my garage back with all the snow SLC gets.  I honestly hate to sell it, but it needs to go since there is no space and i refuse to let the Jeep sit outside.  The Jeep has never seen rain or snow since I've restored it and is only driven as a show car/ casual driver.  Please call with any questions or concerns before bidding. The engine has been freshened up and has 2,750 miles since being put back together. The frame is not the original frame, it came from a bodyshop that restores frames. It has been completely restored, reinforced, sand blasted and painted by a professional shop.

Milage on the body is unknown, the majority (almost every nut and bolt) of this Jeep has been restored or replaced with original and aftermarket parts. The title Reads "Odometer 0." So it is essentially a new 1977 CJ, however it is a used 1977 CJ5….

This Jeep has a mechanical clutch.  This means that since the upgraded V8 sits further back in the engine bay, meaning that it's closer to the flywheel and clutch.  We installed a mechanical clutch to fit right on par with the new engine.  When shifting gears, the clutch is only pushed in about 1/4 to 1/2 way.  It is controlled by a strong spring underneath and is made for easy shifting. (please contact with any questions)


The Issue's:

There are some chips on the top part of the Grill because the owner dropped it during final assembly putting it back together. The Fuel sending unit in the gas tank needs replaced which causes the gas gauge not to work (runs and drives fine). There are stress marks/fine cracks in the paint on the back of the tub near the passenger side brake light from the weight of the spare tire and assembly pulling on the back of the tub. A metal plate has been added to reinforce the fiberglass tub and the issue has been corrected. However, the paint still needs fixed. Also it has a very small oil leak coming from where engine and transmission meet. Also, the knob for the indicator lights has been broken off and will need to be replaced for the indicator lights to work. The final issue is that there is a locking lug nut on each wheel, however the lug nut key has been lost. So in order to take them off you will need to figure out a way to get them off. This Jeep does have some issue that need to be worked out but with a little bit of TLC this will be one of if not the best CJ5 on the Road.

2014 Jeep Cherokee will keep Liberty designation in China... sort of

Wed, 17 Apr 2013

Chinese buyers will get their first live look at the 2014 Jeep Cherokee during the Shanghai Motor Show, but CarNewsChina is reporting that it will go by a different name - Ziyou Guan, which translates to "Liberty Light." The article states that our Jeep Liberty was never sold in China, but the iconic XJ Cherokee was sold and produced there as the Qinuoji (a phonetic translation of Cherokee).
The new Jeep Liberty Light will be built alongside the Fiat Viaggio (China's Fiat-badged version of the Dodge Dart) at the Guangzhou-Fiat plant, and the two models will share the same powertrains: a 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder base engine paired to a five-speed manual or a dual-clutch transmission and a 2.4-liter four-cylinder (the base engine for the US-spec 2014 Cherokee) as an optional engine. It doesn't sound like the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 will be offered in China.
We'll be on hand when the new Jeep debuts in Shanghai, so stay tuned to Autoblog this Friday night and Saturday for our live coverage of the show.

Fiesta-sized Jeep coming in 2014

Wed, 03 Jul 2013

We've heard rumors before about a new, baby Jeep to slot below the new-for-2014 Cherokee (pictured) in the automaker's lineup. Now, Edmunds is reporting that the new crossover will arrive sometime in 2014, and will be about the same size as the Ford Fiesta. This currently unnamed vehicle will effectively replace both the Compass and Patriot in the Jeep lineup.
Speaking to Edmunds, Jeep CEO Mike Manley said that the new, small Jeep will be assembled in Italy and marketed globally beginning sometime next year. Manley did not provide many details on the new model, but did say that it will be 4.2-meters (165 inches) long. The Cherokee, by comparison, is 4.6-meters long (181 inches). Furthermore, Edmunds reports that while the new small Jeep will offer diesel power in other markets, there are no plans for an oil-burning version here in the US.
Many other automakers are exploring this smaller crossover segment here in the US. General Motors recently launched the Buick Encore, which is loosely based on the Chevrolet Sonic subcompact's platform. Ford has already launched its Fiesta-based EcoSport in other markets, and has reportedly been pondering the idea of offering it in the US, as well.

Chinese Jeep production confirmed with Fiat, Guangzhou agreement

Wed, 21 Aug 2013

Fiat has just finalized a deal originally set up in January between it and China's Guangzhou Automotive Group to bring Jeep production to China. It remains unclear which models will be built, although we're wagering that it'll be the 2014 Cherokee. What we do know, now, is where production will take place.
According to Automotive News, Guangzhou originally wanted production to take place in its home assembly plant in its namesake city. Fiat has battled to send production to a joint venture facility established between Guangzhou and Fiat in the town of Changsha. The joint facility won out, and now the factory, originally built in 2010 with a 140,000-unit capacity, will see Jeeps rolling out of it.
Currently, the GAC-Fiat factory produces the Fiat Viaggio, a jointly developed product that is closely related to America's Dodge Dart. And while it remains unclear as to which model will join the Viaggio on the assembly line, that model is understood to ride on Fiat's Compact platform. The only Jeep to share those underpinnings is the new Cherokee, so there's not much connecting of dots needed to see why this scenario would make sense.
