Vehicle Description
The CJ-5 was first introduced in 1954 and over 600,000 were
produced until 1983 and it was one of the longest produced Jeeps in
the company's history. In 1973, The CJ5 "Super Jeep" was introduced
as an ultimate limited run appearance package distinguished by its
white upholstery and crazy patriotic decal package. Just 300 were
made and they are extremely collectable with some in selling in the
$50k range.
1979 marked the 25 year of the CJ5 production and over the years
there were constant updates. A new 4.2L 258cid straight-six
cylinder was introduced in the late 1970s and it featured a 2bbl
carburetor mated to a 3-speed manual. This particular 1979 CJ5 has
been converted to look like one of the rare Super Jeeps with
excellent paint and professionally installed graphics. The interior
has also been given the treatment and shows excellent red and white
seats with a clean dashboard and working instruments. The odometer
appears to be stuck and shows 999 miles. The truck also features
solid front and rear axles and front disc brakes and rear drums.
The engine starts up with zero issues and pulls very strong and the
truck has no trouble reaching highway speeds. It is easy to shift
and there are no issues with low-range either. The tires are in
great shape and have lots of life left and are mounted on 15in
wheels with a solid finish. It also appears that the engine has
been looked over with a new starter and alternator sprucing up the
engine bay
A very patriotic take on the classic American 4x4, now is your
chance to catch a head turner. Whether you buy this to pull a 4th
of July parade float or taking it out camping in a national park,
this CJ5 is for you.
