Description of 1974 Jeep CJ Base

Up for grabs - my vintage 1974 CJ5 with the original 232 inline 6. It's almost spring and jeep weather is fast approaching. I will be getting this classic out of storage soon, and wanted to offer it up to the craigslist public so the early bird can get the worm. These steel tub CJ5's are getting more rare everyday and their value keeps going up. Super solid for its age - both body and frame - for a 44 year old vehicle. It has the makings of a restoration, or simply drive it like it's meant to be...Super fun either way. This rig has been super reliable, and never left me stranded. Mostly an original vintage look with a little more of a military ass-kicking stance. super clean original dashboard including the original (optional) turn signa, and heat/defrost option. I also have the original manual and brochure.
I will be getting it out of storage soon, and will update this post with more detailed pictures in the coming days.
This is my summer go-to for family jeep rides to the beach and cruising our local two-tracks. Great times have been had, but I've got other recreational interests to pursue and I've reluctantly decided to let it go. I've enjoyed this jeep for the past five years, and made many mechanical updates to make it safe and reliable.
Here are a few of the improvements that have been made.
Off the top of my head:
2 inch BDS suspension lift - shock and leaf springs - lifetime guarantee.Steering stabilizerBrakes all aroundTop end rebuildPlugs, wires, solenoid and distributor capOptima battery - last yearMaster cylinderTiming chainStarter motorNew rear gearsNew carburetorAdded a chokeNew front seatsNew front floor PansRoll bar pad3 point harness seat beltsNew speedoNew steering wheelnew radiator and hoses
There are probably more improvements, but thats that alone its just about everything you'll need for a well running CJ5. All mechanical work has been professionally done by the best mechanic in all of lake ann, MI
The sale includes a bikini top, soft doors(top and bottom), and some of the hardware needed for a replacement soft top. It also includes original swing out spare tire carrier, and a storage cover(not pictured yet). I'll also include the manuals, and any other parts I have related to the Jeep. It runs like a top, and will put a smile on your face and turn lots of heads.
any questions - feel free to ask.
