For sale is my beautiful early 1971 Jeep cj5. This jeep has just gone through a frame off restoration in my restoration shop. We started with a clean Arizona rust free jeep that the previous owner had started rebuilding. Previous owner had installed the strong dauntless 225 buick odd fire v6, manual transmission and dana 20 transfercase. The front and rear axles were geared to 3.73 to allow highway speeds with ease. I have driven this jeep with out any issue at 70 mph. The engine has a 4 bbl quadrajet carburetor and full length headers with side exhaust. The side exhaust is under the rocker face by several inches making it nearly impossible to burn your leg. The previous owner had also fully boxed in the frame, Installed power steering and installed a cable clutch linkage to improve clutch feel. Once we got the Jeep into my shop we stripped it down to the bare chassis. We installed the current carburetor, brand new drive shaft changed every fluid in the jeep and re sealed the differential covers. We went through the brakes checking all of the hardware, shoes and drums flushed all of the fluid and replaced anything needed. the front brakes have been upgraded to the newer open knuckle axle with larger brakes. The entire chassis was then stripped and painted with a heavy duty coating normally reserved for over the road trucks. This coating is black with a nice semi gloss finish and is hard as nails and impervious to chemicals or road salts. We then dis assembled the entire body and sanded it down. The body had no rust so no rust repair was needed. After sanding the jeep down to remove any old paint and fillers we coated the entire body and all parts with southern polyurethanes epoxy sealer. This seals the body from any future rust. We then did any body work and blocked the jeep to perfection, A second epoxy sealer coat was used before spraying the base coat clear orange. The paint has incredible depth and shine and was color sanded and buffed to the finish you see. We wanted to insulate and protect the tub so we turned to bed liner vets to spray a beautiful thick coat of bed liner on the bottom side of the tub, inside the front and rear fender wells and also the entire interior of the tub. Not only does this look great and protect the tub from rust but it also makes the entire jeep feel tight and rattle free like a new jeep! The front and rear seats were replaced with brand new Smittybilt low backs and the rear seat is a fold and tumble that matches. It folds up tight against the back of the front seats for hauling cargo. the dash has an all new set of electronic programmable gauges including speedometer, tach, coolant temp, oil pressure, voltage and fuel. All new electronic sending units for the gauges were installed. Every rubber part on the jeep has been replaced from the body mounts to the fuel filler to the windshield rubber! The windshield is also brand new with a licensed jeep logo in the corner! Every lens and chrome bezel on the exterior of the jeep are new! The old wiring harness was ditched for a brand new jeep specific harness with modern insulated wiring and a blade style fuse box instead of the old glass fuses. A sony explode stereo has been installed with 2 new speakers under the dash. It sounds great and has a plug in on the front for an mp3 or usb. All of the vintage jeep touches were retained from the swing away tire carrier, the fold down side steps to the smittybilt roll bar! Wheels are also vintage 15x10 slotted mags painted black. Tires are brand new 33x12.5x15 mud terrains and all 5 tires and wheels match. A brand new steering wheel and brand new bikini top wrap up this amazing little jeep. THe engine was treated to a full tune up, an electronic distributor conversion and a massive aluminum racing radiator with an electric fan. The fan is on an automatic temperature switch that cycles it as needed. Included in the sale is a tow bar from the original owner and a brand new in the box set of bestop black soft half doors that are not installed. I decided to allow he new owner to choose if they want them or not. Everything on this jeep works and looks beautiful. It starts nicely even when cold and runs, drives and shifts great. Everywhere I took it when testing I got thumbs ups, compliments and pictures taken. You will not find a nicer little jeep. Truly no nut or bolt has been left unturned. Please feel free to come and see the jeep in person as the pictures truly do not do it justice. Also please feel free to ask any questions you may have. Because this is an early cj5 the vin number will not work through car fax but you can check the vin number here http://www.cj-jeep.com/cj5-6/cj5-6mainbasepage.htm It is an original v6 jeep not a swapped in job.
