Vehicle Description
It doesn't get much better than a classic 4x4 with a terrific color
combo and fuel-injected V8 power. That makes this 1981 Jeep CJ5 the
coolest go-anywhere classic you can pick up for under $20k.
The deep green paint gives this Jeep a look like it could hide
among the pine trees, and when parked downtown, this CJ5 feels like
it's itching for an adventure. And that's really the point of
owning a classic like this. You can take it to the beach or into
the backwoods, but for those times with its just part of the
grocery run, the rest of us in the parking lot are wondering what
journey you'll be off to next. And since this adventurer is still
an American classic, there's plenty of room for attractive
brightwork on places like the diamond plate front bumper, side
mirrors, and those five-spoke off-road wheels.
As much as we like how the deep, dark black soft top and doors look
against the green, it looks even better when you take these off.
That's because the tan interior coordinates nicely with the earthy
tones of the exterior. While the bucket seats are covered in a
durable vinyl, they are comfortable enough to make the trail an
easy ride. In between is a latching center console that provides
both comfort and security. The controls are laid out in typical
Jeep fashion, with an upgraded grippy three-spoke steering wheel,
long-throw shifter for the four-speed manual, and a shorter stalk
for the four-wheel drive. Plus, heater controls and gauges
clustered in the center of the dash. While all of this has that
great classic Jeep appearance, there are also some nice upgrades
like the provision for an AM/FM/CD stereo for comfort, and a full
roll cage for added safety with your utility.
When you're looking for the most flexibility and usability, it's
hard to beat the 304 cubic-inch V8. This was the top engine option
from the factory, and it has been enhanced even further with fuel
injection. That means extra power and torque for the trail, as well
as a sweet rumble with the Hedman headers feeding the dual exhaust.
But what will really make you want this Jeep is its trusty
four-wheel drive system with two-speed transfer case. This sturdy
setup is the backbone of Jeep's reputation for providing the
military and civilians with 4x4 vehicles for over 75 years. Power
steering and front disc brakes help maintain control for those
wicked trails. Plus, the large Kelly Safari MSR tires are great for
those days when you take the highway well beyond where it ends.
Complete with owner's manual, this is a distinctive and powerful
turnkey 4x4 for an affordable price. So you know a package this
attractive is going to be leaving us soon. Call today!!!
