Vehicle Description
Usually when we tell you about a mean Jeep it's because someone has
transformed it into the ultimate off-roader, but this complete
custom built 1969 Jeep CJ5 Restomod is about teaching others a
lesson on the streets. Beneath the wild green paint and lowered
suspension lies some of the best Ford performance components you
know. And once you look at the price, it's not just a great Jeep or
a great muscle machine, it's one amazing overall deal.
There is no pretending this is an off-road Jeep. The metallic green
paint is out to intimidate on the streets, not the trail. It has
the kind of luster from the modern clearcoat that will act like a
beacon attracting people from across the show field during the day.
And at night, it catches the light and almost glows better than a
neon sign. That's why it has been applied over every inch of the
exterior, including the bumpers, grille, and hood pins. But more
than just paint, this one has some great custom street rod details,
like the chopped windshield, lowered suspension, crystal clear
headlights, and polished Weld-style 15-inch alloys.
Inside is more custom work to make sure you know this is a mean
machine. After all, the best Jeeps have roll bars, but nothing like
this. The safety cage here has the kind of multi point
reinforcement you find on pro street machines that are meant to
both be safe and add strength to the frame. The dark interior
continues this Jeep's aggressive attitude, but everything inside is
part of a very thoughtful build. For example, the seats are modern
buckets that offer good bolstering to strike a nice balance between
comfort and keeping you tight in the turns. It has power steering
for ease, and the bikini top to keep the sun off you. There's only
room for two since the rear end has been tubbed (more on that in a
moment,) and there's a custom rear storage box that houses the
batteries and fuel for better weight distribution. You get a cool
three-spoke sports steering wheel, and ahead of that is a large
AutoMeter tach. Just in front of the B&M shifter is the rest of
your full gauge package. So while you have an AM/FM/CD stereo, this
Jeep is giving you a clear indication that your favorite soundtrack
will be coming from the side exhaust.
When you open the hood, the shine of the Ford Racing valve covers,
air topper, and aluminum radiator already tell you that this is
something special. It's a 289 cubic-inch V8 that's been enhanced
with go-fast goodies that include a Holley four-barrel carburetor
and Weiand intake. Plus, headers add even more power while also
delivering a deeper rumble through the side exhaust. And there is
no trouble getting all that enhanced power to the ground thanks to
the stout C6 three-speed automatic transmission, Ford 9-inch rear,
and the ultra-wide Mickey Thompson Sportsman rubber in the rear.
But more than just read about these features, look at where
everything is in the undercarriage photos. There you'll also see
the square-tube chassis that almost looks like a Cobra replica.
Plus, the Mustang II-style independent front suspension and rear
ladder bars with coilovers rear are all part of a great blue
oval-style performance package. So this Jeep can deliver on its
speedy appearance.
Ford was one of the first Jeep producers during WWII, and so this
one is just taking that logic to the extreme, right? All we know
this is one awesome custom build offered at a gone-tomorrow price.
