Vehicle Description
Here's a bold red and black 1978 Jeep CJ5 with V8 power and quality
recent investments. So you can read on for all the details, but
once you spot the value price on this classic 4x4, we already know
you'll already be hooked.
The CJ5 is the iconic short-wheel base, go-anywhere Jeep. But just
because it can get you deep into the wild, doesn't mean it
shouldn't look nice out on the town, too. The red is a more recent
application, so it has a nice luster in the sunlight. Plus, it lets
you see the black details nicely, like the fender flares and
Cragar-style "Soft 8" wheels. There has been a new black soft top
added within the last year. So not only are all the windows clean
and clear, but also it looks crisp and dark to give this Jeep an
almost two-tone style presentation when in place. But more than
just look great, another dark-style upgrade includes the bumper
with welded tow hooks and trailer hitch on the rear. This reminds
you that this Jeep is always ready for duty.
As good as this looks with the top in place, a true Jeep is meant
to be open to the world. That's why the same color theme continues
inside. The red roll bar and dash look great against all the black
elements of the interior. Durable vinyl on the seats and upgraded
liner paint throughout the flooring keeps this one easy to clean
and maintain. Plus, this has great driving features like the new
speedometer, Grant sports steering wheel, and the AM/FM/CD stereo
with aux input. The locking center console is handy no matter if
you want storage out in the wilderness or just need something
secured while you run into the Main Street shops.
The 304 cubic-inch AMC motor is that perfect power plant that
combines V8 muscle with Jeep-level robustness. This motor is
date-correct, so we even suspect it to be original. It has also
received the right care and maintenance along the way. This
includes a major tune up in 2016 and a new carburetor within the
last few months. On the road, you have full control over the V8
thanks to the three-speed manual transmission. On the trail, this
V8 is a great partner with the sturdy 4x4 components like the
two-speed transfer case and AMC 20 rear end. Add in front disc
brakes and the grip of Summit Trail Climber A/W tires, and this is
truly an unbeatable package.
The way this looks and the investments made really let you know
this is a terrific price for a classic Jeep. So don't miss your
chance, call today!
