Vehicle Description
There's extra style and attitude in this 1969 Jeep CJ5. The deep
green metallic paint has a nice glow, like pine trees reflecting in
a remote lake. And the versatile rear rack means you can carry
plenty of supplies to get this 4x4 out to those distant places.
While the low-back bucket seats and thin steering wheel remind you
this is an early CJ, the roll bar and upgraded gauges make sure it
feels quite user-friendly. Plus, we especially love the well-built
and unique V6 under the hood. So dig into the details on a fun and
versatile true classic.

The explorer style and earlier CJ feature already make this quite
distinct. But what we really like is the motor setup. 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! And this sporty legacy is furthered
in this CJ where the V6 gets an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor,
an Offenhauser intake, and a custom set of headers with a side-exit
dual exhaust. It makes for a fun driver and a nice tune -
especially because you control it all with the three-speed manual
transmission. 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!
