Vehicle Description
This 1980 Jeep CJ5 is a one-owner classic that has been given the
right investments over the years to be the ideal package for those
who want both flair and function. It's the 4x4 with a good shine to
get attention around town, and everything from the beefy tires to
the big brush guard tells you it never has to take the paved roads
to find its way home. So check out all the investments in both
style and substance.
The window sticker tells us that the dark brown metallic is
factory-correct color, and it gives this 4x4 plenty of immediate
appeal. It was resprayed later in life, and on a one-owner machine,
it has the right balance of good care but an overall impression
makes sure this is a 4x4 that's built for fun. That's part of the
real theme of this one. Even the added polished components add to
the usefulness as well as the style. For example, the tubular front
bumper looks awesome while also giving you a handy bull bar, and
there's a trailer hitch welded into the rear one. And there's more
brightwork showing off the side exhaust, protecting the rockers,
tail lights, and full-size spare on the rear. It's not just chrome
components that show this jeep is off-road ready. There are LED
headlights and fog lights that can turn night into day out on the
trail. And the flared fenders help contain those Dick Cepek wheels
and meaty tires. It all makes for a total package that's stylish
and absolutely versatile.
Like a good Jeep, you have options for how much you want to be
buttoned up. The sale comes with a full soft top, bikini top,
windjammer backing, and soft doors. And no matter how you choose to
drive this CJ, it is going to provide the proper off-road read
experience. The Rugged Ridge high-back front bucket seats have the
right bolstering to keep you firmly planted. This one also has a
great audio system with an AM/FM/CD stereo w/aux input in the
lockable center console, a speaker bar added to the roll bar, and a
subwoofer behind the seat. There's an upgraded sports steering
wheel on a tilt column, and you have full instrumentation with the
large speedo, crisp auxiliary readouts, and a handy tach.
We love the way the tidy motor gives you a powerful take on a
classic Jeep powerhouse. This is the classic 4.2L/258ci inline-six.
It has been upgraded with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor,
Offenhauser intake, and a split long tube header package that
creates dial side pipes. It means you get to keep the proper robust
Jeep heart but with the power and rumble of the ones who did the V8
upgrade. Plus, there are quality supporting components such as an
aluminum radiator, Mallory ignition, and a newer alternator. There
are even good fundamentals when you check out the plugs, wires, and
hoses. The two-speed 4x4 transfer case, good ground clearance, and
Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ tires are good for off-road work. Power
brakes, front discs, and power steering are good for anytime
driving. And the four-speed manual transmission gives you control
over it all no matter where you go.
It's hard to find a one-owner CJ these days, and the original
window sticker helps tell this one's unique story. It makes for a
distinct and capable total package you need to take home. Call
