This Jeep CJ-5 was acquired by me just recently as a refurbishment underway. I have found out that I do not have the time to continue the restoration so my loss is someone else's gain.
Power is provided by a Factory Original 304ci V8 mated to a Three-Speed Manual Transmission and a Dual-Range Transfer Case
Several of the difficult parts of the restoration have been finished to included a complete re-wiring with a Painless Wiring Harness, Cooling System, Suspension, Exhaust, Engine Mounts, and entire New Steel Front Clip. The engine was overhauled by RPM Automotive in Houston Texas.
This CJ5 Renegade has a clean title and all service history and receipts of refurbishment available on request.
The following parts have all been replaced;
Cooling System: Water Pump, Aluminum Radiator, All Hoses, Thermostat/T-Stat Housing, and Coolant Overflow System from a later model CJ has been added.
Fuel/Air System: Gas Tank, Fuel Lines, Carburetor, Edelbrock Air Cleaner and Edelbrock Chrome Rocker Covers.
Electrical: Completely rewired with a Painless Performance Wiring Harness, all Lights have been replaced and are functional, Ignition System, Heavy Duty Alternator, Starter Motor, Turn Signal Assembly, and a New Battery.
Exhaust: Powder Coated Headers and Purple Hornies Side Pipe Exhaust System.
Suspension: Skyjacker Shocks and Skyjacker Steering Stabilizer Kit.
Brakes: New Master Cylinder and Warn Front Manually Locking Hubs.
Body: New Front Clip-New Steel Grill and Front Fenders. Side Mirrors.
Interior: Rugged Ridge High Back Bucket Seats and Rear Fixed Seat furnished in Tan, Bestop Bikini Top and New Steel Dash.
Maintenance: All fluids have been flushed and/ or changed to include oil and differentials.
Now for some Problem Issues;
The Body Tub and All Body Mounts need to be replaced. All areas of rust on the frame have been treated with POR-15 but there are still some spots in hard-to-reach areas that need some attention. Additionally, the Master Cylinder leaks and the CJ needs New Break Lines and could really benefit from Front Disk Breaks. You can absolutely drive for a short distance but until the brake line leak is fixed you would be limited to a few miles. There is a very slow oil leak from the oil pan.
With this CJ you will receive a New Oil Pan W/Gasket, JEGS Brake Line Kit, and Gas Tank Skid Plate. Did not have time to put them on.
The bottom line is you get a project car that has had alot of work put into it and you get the Benefit of $10K+ of parts and service. A Restoration Well Underway.
Price is $13,000 OBO.
