Description of 1977 Jeep CJ Limited

1977 Jeep CJ5 with less than 51k miles!
Enginehas low mileage and lots of life left. Vacuum readings at idle are around 21-1/2". I purchased from the original owner (on Ebay)with 44k miles. Since then I have upgraded the engine with
  • 4.2 to 4.0 head swap
  • Davis Unified Ignition
  • Motorcraft 2150 carburetor
These upgrades have made a tremendous improvement in the power the old girl can put out.A quick google search will yield more information than you probably care to read. One benefit (besides increased power) of the head swap is that the jeep is now ready for fuel injection. Going with EFI will yield some additional HP gains, as well as increased fuel efficiency. Ihave beenhappy with the way the MC2150 has worked out, but if you want to move into the 21st century andaway fromthe old school carbs... the option is available.
The entire exhaust system is new. Factory headers were installed with the head swap, and within the last year I've replaced all the pipe, catalytic converter and muffler. Tail pipe is now routed out of the side behind the driver side rear wheel. This helps keep the exhaust fumes from being pulled into the cab (which was an issue with the factory routing that put it straight out ofthe back).
The stock suspension was upgraded with a BDS Suspension's2-1/2" lift kit($750), which included new leaf springs, shocks and steering stabilizer. Jeep also hasa 1/2" heavy dutyshackle lift (total lift of 3"). Has 30" tires w/ less than 7k miles. Will accommodate 33" tires.
The body is ingood condition (paintjob is probably less than7 or 8 years old. There are certainly a few blemishes here and there. It is a '77 that's been used (not abused). I have tried to representthe most obvious imperfections in thephotos.
Please feel free to ask questions, come take a look and test drive. There are also mobile inspection servicesthat cost about $150. If you'retoo far away to make the trip and want topay someone to do a pre-purchase inspection... I'd be more than happy to accommodate.
Auction also Includes:
  • Bikiniand full soft top (Bikini is brand new. Soft top is in fair to good condition, but looks good and leaks very little)
  • Rampage waterproof cover
  • 5th wheel (Note: The spare tireis mountedon the side of jeep.I've included apicture showing the four holes where spare tire bracket is mounted.)
  • Spare tire mounting bracket

Please contact mebefore bidding if you have 0 positive feedback. If not, I'll unfortunately have to cancel your bid. Also, I do have this listed locally and will cancel the auction if it sells via that channel prior toauction close.
Finally, I'm sure someone will want to know why I'm selling. I don't really have a great reason other than I really just don't drive the Jeep. Three years and less than 7k miles... Seems like a shame to let this old girl just sit around with a decent amount of money, sweat anda little bloodtied up in her.
Reach out if you have any questions and happybidding!
