Birmingham, Alabama, United States
You are viewing a very original, unrestored 1982 Jeep CJ-5 Laredo. This is a super solid original paint Jeep that is very sharp and has great patina. It still wears its original Laredo stripes and decals too it is quite rare to find the Laredo option on a CJ-5. Here are some details,
Orig. rebuilt 258 straight 6 engine T-176 4 speed transmission 4WD New 4 inch suspension lift kit Newer 33x12.50 tires New fender flares New side mirrors New center console (not pictured) New fuel tank, fuel lines, carburetor, sending unit,etc. New alternator New fuel pump New starter New flywheel New exhaust system Newer battery, belts, hoses,etc. New lockers front and rear New Bestop Supertop hardware (every nut bolt, etc. ) no soft top included New rear seat in box (not pictured) New marine stereo and speakers in box (not pictured) Power steering Front disc brakes Dana 300 transfer case As you can see, thousands and thousands of dollars have been spent to make this Jeep a reliable and super capable on/off road CJ! This Jeep runs and drives great and will do 70 MPH on the interstate all day long. It drives down the road nice and straight too which is a lot to say for a lifted Jeep with big tires! The engine is very strong and does not run hot or smoke. There is a slight oil leak and I'm not sure where its coming from. The 4 wheel drive works well and it does have lockers front and rear. The body is very solid. It still maintains all of its original panels and tub. There are no rust problems o deal with and the 32 year old original paint is still presentable! The front seats are good and there is a new rear seat and center console in the box. You will need to source a soft top and doors but I have every piece of hardware to mount a Bestop Supertop. Overall, this is a really clean original CJ. These Jeeps are getting harder and harder to find in this condition. Don't miss your chance to own this appreciating classic. Many of my auctions end with just a phone call. I can arrange shipping worldwide. 205-276-1918. |

NHTSA boss Strickland weighs in on Jeep recall fracas
Sat, 15 Jun 2013Adding yet another chapter to the ongoing Jeep recall story, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) head David Strickland has gone on record to defend the government's request that Chrysler recall 2.7 million out-of-production Jeep Grand Cherokee and Jeep Liberty vehicles after the agency investigated fiery rear-end collisions that have reportedly killed at least 51 people over the years. In statements made to The Detroit News, Strickland said, "We felt very strongly that the process that we undertook and the findings that we made and ... we made the decision to issue a recall request. We do not take that very lightly." The top US auto safety regulator stopped short of telling owners to park their cars until the automaker takes action. "They can make their own risk assessment and their own choices," he said.
Chrysler does not intend to recall the models, insisting the "vehicles met and exceeded all applicable requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, including FMVSS 301, pertaining to fuel-system integrity" when they were manufactured and sold. "The company does not agree with NHTSA's conclusions and does not intend to recall the vehicles cited in the investigation. The subject vehicles are safe and are not defective," Chrysler announced last week in a statement. "We believe NHTSA's initial conclusions are based on an incomplete analysis of the underlying data, and we are committed to continue working with the agency to resolve this disagreement."
Legally, Chrysler has until June 18 to formally respond to NHTSA's request. If the automaker does not take action, NHTSA is expected to issue a formal finding and seek a recall.
Fiesta-sized Jeep coming in 2014
Wed, 03 Jul 2013We'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.
Going high-tech, the 4x4 way
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Is It An Off-Road Adventure Or Just A Walk In The Park?
I remember having to get out and lock hubs and shift into neutral to engage low range.
Coming off press previews of the 2013 Land Rover Range Rover and the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee that involved some heavy-duty off-road rock climbing, I'm simply amazed at the capabilities that these vehicles possess. But even more impressive (or troubling depending on your perspective) is the relative ease with which you can operate these vehicles in seemingly impossible terrain.
