The exterior of this Jeep showsincredibly well. The body is very straight with mostly original paint. This CJ5 does have its fair share of small bumps and bruises, typical of an original CJ5 of the era. Sometime in the mid 1980s the Jeep had bumped into a cattle fence while on the cattle ranch.Because of this, thepassenger fender was replaced and repainted. The passenger rear corner of the Jeep where thefactory spare tire carrier was mounted does have a skim coat ofbondo from a dent sustainedsometime in the 1980s as well.

This CJ5 runs well with tons of torque. The big 258 cubic inch 6 cylinder is healthy and the factory 3 speed transmission shifts as it should. The clutch engages with optimal travel. The transfer case engages in all positions and the hubs lock as they should. Power steering has been added to this CJ5, making it much easier to drive and maneuver at low speeds.
