Vehicle Description
STK 3298 1969 Jeep CJ-5
In 1969 there was nothing that could match the prowess of a CJ-5 in
the backcountry. Most Jeeps today have cute names and huge
stickers. In 1969, a base CJ-5 listed for under $3,000.00 (plus
top/doors) and was the foundation for all these fancy models. This
CJ-5 Jeep has benefited from a full restoration in 2022. It is
better-than-original condition and it is solid. The all-steel body
was carefully refinished in low gloss 'Wool Gray' and is
outstanding. A custom black steel top has been fitted with metal
doors, roll-up windows and a two-piece tailgate - it is very cool.
Accents include driver-side mirror, fender flares and Pro Comp
steel wheels that mount new 32x11.50x15" BFGoodrich off-road
radials. A heavy-duty hitch receiver has also been added. The
interior has been totally restored - vinyl reupholstered front
seats, upholstered rear side-seats, grab bar and factory gauge
cluster. Solid floorpans have been spray coated with bedliner and
rubber mats have been added. During this era, the CJ-5 used a
variety of powertrains. Power for this CJ-5 is provided by a
factory 225ci (3.7L) all-aluminum 'Dauntless' V-6 that was designed
by GM's Buick division. These motors were a perfect option for the
CJ-5 as they were lightweight and extremely powerful for their size
- 160bhp/235lb-ft of torque. This 'Dauntless' has been completely
rebuilt and sounds magnificent though a custom exhaust system. A
Borg Warner T-86 3-speed manual transmission is mated with a
Dana-18 2wd/4wd Hi/Lo transfer case w/manual front hubs. The '69
CJ-5 was equipped with a Dana-27 front axle and a Dana-44 rear. The
spotless chassis retains a stock leaf spring suspension w/upgraded
shocks, manual steering and manual 4-wheel drum brakes. A
heavy-duty skid plate has been added to protect the transmission
and transfer case. This ultra-classic CJ-5 has been carefully
restored and it is ready to go. ALL VEHICLES SOLD "AS IS"
