Vehicle Description
This 1971 Jeep CJ5 has a cool style, great stance, and proper 4x4
equipment. Plus, the Dauntless V6 under the hood is one of the most
versatile motors of our time.
This CJ makes a good first impression. The khaki tan paint is a
fresher application that has a good gloss. But it's nothing too
fancy that would take away from the rugged explorer nature that
this color is associated with. This combines with the blackout
package of the roll bar, headlight bezels, side mirrors, and
15-inch wheels. Plus the tubular steel front bumper is a stout
piece that really upgrades the attitude. And the rear tow bar
w/hitch is bolted to the frame for a robust look that is also quite
useful.
This one loves to be open to the world, and so it has the right
features to do it properly. This starts with liner paint for the
whole inner tub. The front bucket seats keep the classic low-back
look, but they are done with a fresher durable vinyl, nice lower
bolstering, and seatbelts. Plus, the classic Jeep single gauge pack
is supplemented by oil pressure, power, and temp readouts that real
drivers will find absolutely handy.
Few people remember that the Buick V6 was available in the CJ5 for
a few years. This Dauntless 225 cubic-inch motor is extremely
desirable not only for parts availability but also for robustness.
This motor was so good GM bought it back and used it for decades,
including for the turbo Grand National. You're not going to go drag
racing in this stock-style setup, but it is a healthy motor that
loves to run. And the three-speed manual transmission puts you in
firm control of all the action. Also, true to a Jeep, the two-speed
4x4 transfer case combines with the short wheelbase and good ground
clearance to really let you get back to nature. You even have
upgraded shocks and Falken Wildpeak tires to help you go
further.
It's amazing you can get a cool Jeep with this much character all
of this for such a value price. But a deal this nice doesn't wait
for long, call today!
