Description of 1973 Jeep CJ CJ5 |
Ignore eBay's ridiculous shipping calculator, it quotes $598 to Albuquerque NM (216 miles) where I ship trucks on a regular basis for $150. Contact me for a real quote, I can arrange wholesale nationwide shipping. Call Jim, cell is 6O2 435 211O The Story: This Jeep belonged to an elderly neighbor for the last 29 years. This Jeep from my childhood, wagon wheels, Power King bias ply mudders, Confer shackles, hi-lift jack, rear storage bumper, old school CB, old school everything. The engine purrs (had an in-frame rebuild a few years back) is nearly silent, a new battery, has a rare 4speed trans with Granny low that shifts up and down smooth as it ever did. This Jeep starts, runs, shifts and steers great. I've only used it creeping around up here (8000ft) in the mountains where I live (see photos) my 2 daughters, 2 dogs and I just crawl around and watch the wildlife. The body has the usual little Jeep issues but I have left it just as it is because it runs so good, I like the aged orange patina and vintage visual history. The tailgate and floorboards are amazingly straight and smooth, this Jeep has never been abused, previous owner drove his grandkids around the back roads in it. Please dont screw this old rig up,fix what needs it etc but please don't paint it purple of beat on it, it is a nice old survivor and deserves to be preserved.
There is some worn paint, minor rust and stress fractures in the usual Jeep places (see photos) There is some minor stains/wear/tear here and there on the interior as you would expect with the age (see photos) There are a couple small holes here and there on the body and a big stereo size one in the dash (see photos) The brakes are not good, they pull to the left and need to be rebuilt. The fuel gauge doesn't work right now, shocker, lol.... There was an old rotted soft top and doors, I threw it away but have all of the frame work and doors for easy replacement (see photos) The Carter carb looses prime after a few days, have to squirt a little fuel in then it always starts right up (see photos) Please call me with questions or offers. I'm not some slick haired, polyester clad car salesman. I'm 48yrs old, jeans, boots, t-shirt, down to earth, plain talk, have a family, self employed, work for a living kind of a guy, I won't B.S. you or waste your time. Jim cell 6O2 435 211O Make a reasonable cash offer and you will own this Jeep.
