- !!! $2750 !!! (offers considered)
-
- 1979 Jeep CJ-5. Bright red with black trim and chrome grill.
- Black interior, brand new carpet.
-
- Completely rebuilt AMC 304 V-8.
- Edelbrock Manifold
- Holly 4 barrel Carb
- High Performance Cam
- Brand under-chassis headers (allows nerf bars), & custom dual exhaust.
- etc.
- Approx 10K mi on this engine
-
- This jeep runs *very* strong.
-
- Four speed manual transmission. Newly rebuilt clutch linkage
-
- Rancho competition suspension, with 2" lift.
-
- Full tubular steel roll "cage" with 4 cross supports connecting front and rear
- roll bars. Cage fully padded and taped. Custom 4" tubular steel bumpers
- and push bar.
-
- Kayline soft top, excellent shape except for small (repairable) tear in
- driver-side door window. Bikini top also included.
-
- Competition bucket seats with Deist 5-point racing harnesses for
- driver and passenger.
-
- I'll include a Clarion AM-FM/Cassette pull out-chassis stereo. 12 pre-set
- seek/scan/dolby etc. Installation is up to you. (dash is prepped for it)
-
- Near new (~2000mi) 33" BF Goodrich All-Terrain TA Radials
- (A complete set (5), including rear-mounted spare) mounted on chrome/gold
- custom mags. Wheel locks included.
-
- The catch (there's always a catch). If there wasn't a catch, I'd be asking
- about $5K for this jeep. And in fact, just over a year ago (from a different
- state), I posted it forsale at $5400. The catch is that it isn't CA smogged.
-
- I have three options before me:
- o Smog it myself: I have neither the time nor patience for this right now.
- o Take it out of state to sell it: My backup plan, but a big pain in the
- butt for me.
- o Sell it as an "off road recreation vehicle"... ie. this post.
-
- This would be a *great* jeep for offroading. It's ready to go. Probably
- the only thing left to add is a big lighting system.
-
- If you're reading this post from out of CA, are looking for a 4X4, and have
- a way to pick this one up- it's a great deal.
-
- At this price, it's probably worth smogging. I think smogging it for CA
- would cost ~1700 (needs new exhaust manifolds w/ smog pumps, catalytic
- converter, spark control, stock carb etc.) But, that's paying 'retail' for
- parts and repairs, if you're handy or know someone who can do the work,
- I'm sure it could be done cheaper. It would be sad though, to take all the
- high performance parts off of it- that's probably part of the reason I'm
- so reluctant to do it myself :-(.
-
- Buyer will be expected to sign a waiver stating that they are using the
- Jeep for "off road" purposes (or taking it out of state) and won't hold me
- responsible for it passing a CA smog test.
-
- If you are interested in taking a look, drop me email, call me at work,
- or at home before 9pm (415) 964-2809
