Vehicle Description
This 1980 Jeep CJ5 has the bold look from a restoration that has
only about 2,300 miles on it. And while that will instantly capture
your attention, what makes this one irresistible are all the
terrific upgrades, like V8 power, four-on-the-floor, and air
conditioning. Yes, you read that right, this is an A/C Jeep!
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 yellow is a more
recent application, so it has a vibrant luster in the sunlight.
There are even good details, like the polished mirrors and clear
turn signals. Plus, this brightness has a good-looking contrast
with the black elements, like the fender flares, Pro Comp Crawler
bumpers, and beefy side steps. And speaking of beefy, you can see
that this Jeep was designed for real off-road action. That's why
you have a raised stance, tow hooks front & rear, and even a tow
hitch to bring extra fun with you. There has been a new black soft
top and doors added recently. So not only are all the windows clean
and clear, but also the nice black goes with the rest of the
accessories to give this Jeep an almost two-tone presentation.
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 dark accents return inside.
It's also easy to spot plenty of upgrades in this fresh build. It
starts with new Corbeau seating all-around. The front high-back
buckets even have a Tuffy lockbox armrest center console
in-between. Security is a central theme here with features like a
proper roll barn and upgraded four-point harnesses for everyone.
It's easy to get comfortable in this CJ thanks to all the right
features, including a tilt steering column, cup holders, and a
retro-style AM/FM digital tuner. There's even cold blowing R-134A
air-conditioning, so that going deep into nature can be done
without breaking a sweat.
The extra-tidy engine bay reveals a terrific upgrade. After all, a
Chevy 350 cubic-inch V8 has the same kind of robust reputation as
the Jeep. This one seemed to get the full Edelbrock upgrades kit
with appearance pieces like the ribbed valve covers and matching
air topper. Plus, it has the performance upgrades like the intake
and four-barrel carburetor. A nice set of shorty headers complete
this powerful package while also contributing to the rumble of the
dual exhaust. And this has the right supporting components, like an
aluminum radiator w/electric fan and an Optima yellow top battery
that actually coordinates with the rest of this Jeep. You have full
control over the V8 thanks to the Tremec four-speed manual
transmission. On the trail, this V8 is a great partner with the
sturdy 4x4 components like the two-speed transfer case, Rugged
Ridge ORV lift, and Dick Cepek DC-2 wheels Goodyear Wrangler tires.
Even the full frame is powered-coated for durability. While you're
checking that out, you'll also notice the full fresh look of this
recent build, including newer bushings. It gives this a solid feel
on or off the road. And this usability is backs up by nice anytime
driving features like power steering and power brakes.
Complete with restoration photos, this is an awesome build that
gives you everything you want for both comfort and ability. That
makes for an awesome classic Jeep that you need to get you hand on
right now. Call today!!!
