Vehicle Description
1978 Jeep CJ5
The Jeep is as American as apple pie and baseball. They are one of
the most customizable vehicles on the planet, and this one is
nicely done.
Why This Car Is Special
This CJ has been restored and modified inside and out but still
retains the factory 304 V8 engine and is a completely metal body.
This IS NOT a fiberglass body. Almost every nut and bolt on this
Jeep has been restored, rebuilt or replaced in the last few
years.
Mechanical
The original 304 is still under the hood and has been completely
rebuilt. It is backed by the original 4 speed manual transmission
and of course has 4WD for your off-roading needs. All bushings,
suspension components, steering components, and brakes have been
replaced. Quick release sway bar end links have been installed in
case you want to do a little climbing. The stock exhaust manifolds
have been replaced with full length coated headers that run to a
Magnaflow muffle for a great rumble. This Jeep is ready to be
driven and enjoyed. This vehicle will come with a 90 day extended
service contract, paid for by the seller, through Classic Vehicle
Protection.
Interior
The interior can be enjoyed in two ways. Right now, it has fitted
blue tropical seat covers installed that really pop against the
yellow paint and make this a real beach cruiser. If that's not your
style they can easily be removed to reveal the stock style black
vinyl seats. A chrome tilt column and chrome dash panels have been
installed along with a chrome grab bar above the glovebox. The Jeep
has a complete new wiring harness which means all gauges and lights
work and a phone charger and USB chargers have been installed as
well. The entire inside of the tub has been coated in tan bedliner
for durability and rust prevention. It looks great and is easy to
keep clean as well. There is a center console for storage and to
hole your drinks while you enjoy open air cruising. This Jeep comes
with a full Bestop soft top with full soft doors with zip up
windows. It also comes with a Bimini top which installs in minutes
to keep the sun off your shoulders. Or take the top off all
together and enjoy the sun and wind all around you.
Exterior
Painted in a stunning yellow paint and topped off with a ton of
chrome, this Jeep will get you thumbs up as you drive. Chrome
grill, chrome tube front and rear bumpers, Ultra aluminum alloy
wheels wrapped in BF Goodrich All Terrain tires, chrome exhaust
tip, chrome nerf bars, and chrome hinges really make this Jeep
shine. All lighting has been converted to LED including projector
headlights that look great and keep you safer than the stock lights
of the 70s would.
Conclusion
This Jeep is ready to roll to the beach, local car shows or use it
as your daily driver. These are going up in value and always have a
great following. There are many websites, parts sources and even
car shows dedicated to the Jeep for a reason. They are a lot of
fun!
