Vehicle description
I am selling my 1978 Jeep CJ5, this jeep has never been painted and no
body work has ever done! The body, paint, floor pans, frame still are
original (no rust anywhere). I bought this Jeep from a 42 year Jeep mechanic/builder/
repair guy who lives in Las Vegas Nevada who was the original owner of
the jeep. Everything on the Jeep today is in great mechanical working
order. It"s is reliable and can be driven everyday. This jeep steers, handles and stops better than the factory CJ ever did. Some jeeps look good - But how many drive well? It now has
a Chevy V8 350 motor with 4 bbl Edelbrock carburetor, roller rockers
valve train, 202 valves and RV cam installed under the hood. (Motor
now has twice the horse power over original motor) The original 3
speed manual transmission was also removed and a Chevy/ GM Turbo 350
auto transmission was added. The transmission also was fitted with B&M
shift kit and a B&M floor shifter box. The Jeep has 3:45 gearing so
you can drive this CJ everyday on the street and then hit the trails
off road as you see fit. Items that were done to the Jeep within the
last 500 miles, re-cleared to retain the original look. Front seats
installed, New locking console, New stereo & speakers, New steering
wheel, New temp, water & volt gauge. New gas gauge also with 20 gal
gas tank. New GPS driven speedometer added for correct MPH readout.
(The Odometer reads 32151 not original miles of Jeep) *The miles
reflect driven miles on the Chevy V8 motor conversion. All electrical
was gone over and repairs made as needed to ensure everything in great
working order. The complete brake system was also just redone. All
brake parts installed new both front and rear. New power brake booster
and master cylinder installed. *All steering parts in Jeep were just
redone. New Power steering gear box, new gear box supports brace from
box to frame. The steering shaft was rebuilt and re-set. Front end tie
rods, ball joints all in great conduction now. This CJ drives super
nice. The Dana 30 front end was inspected and serviced. New diff
cover, new mile marker locking hubs, steering shock and rough country
front shocks added. The Jeep AMC 20 rear end also inspected, serviced.
New rear diff cover and solid one piece axle installed. Jeep is fitted
with a 4 inch spring suspension lift. (Done correct) also has a double cardan joint.(no vibration issues) .* A new set of Dick Cepek 33’’ tall by 12.5 wide Trail Country EXP A/T tires also just installed on Jeep. Great tires for street and off road use. A
new Best Top SUPER TOP " Full soft top with doors" just installed on
Jeep 500 driven miles ago. The heater core is new. The heater, wipers,
horn, emergency brake all work. The original front fenders were
removed and a new set of flat fenders installed. New rear metal fender
flairs also installed (there is better clearance with the new 33
tall tires under it now). This Jeep has a "front sway bar" for
better handling, rear sway bar also. All the 4 wheel drive parts were
inspected, repaired and serviced. The 4 Wheel drive is in great
working order. The bottom side floor pans and frame also cleaned and
then treated in with 3m water proof / rust proof sealant to keep
protected from the elements for many years to come. New custom front
bumper installed. New Smitty built 9,500 XRC power winch installed.
The factory CJ headlights upgraded to new style LED = much brighter -
The blinkers now in headlight rings. 7 new Led Off road lights were
added to the Jeep. Now it has nice Off Road lighting and everything
done correct on relays. The transmission was inspected and serviced
all new transmission fluids. The transmission shifts nice. Motor
serviced and tuned. Motor burns super clean, no exhaust smoke, no
rattles, motor sounds great. Cooling system was also inspected, new
hoses, clamps and coolant. The aluminum radiator was fitted with a new
heavy duty transmission cooler. Full roll bar cage. There are no heating issues in this CJ. This CJ has never been wrecked or damaged. The factory original Vin Tag and
Vin: numbers on Jeep as it should be. Title has no brands or damage
history! = Clean title. Jeep is garaged at my home today. *Call
anytime with questions or buy offers. Thanks, Troy 678-758-4978
