Description:
1977 Jeep CJ5 up for grabs.  This Jeep is incredible; it gets attention everywhere it goes.  It is a complete off frame restoration. including a new frame and nearly all new parts on it.  It has taken about a year to complete the project; hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars have went into this Jeep.  If you are looking for a CJ with all the heavy lifting done for a low price. this is it.  I was originally going to take it to Barrett Jackson and auction it off. but with the few minor issues it has. and little time i have. i could not complete the mission.  This Jeep has nearly double the money/time into it than what the buy now price is asking.  It's priced for a quick sale because winter is coming up and i need my garage back with all the snow SLC gets.  I honestly hate to sell it. but it needs to go since there is no space and i refuse to let the Jeep sit outside.  The Jeep has never seen rain or snow since I've restored it and is only driven as a show car/ casual driver.  Please call with any questions or concerns before bidding. The engine has been freshened up and has 2. 50 miles since being put back together. The frame is not the original frame. it came from a bodyshop that restores frames. It has been completely restored. reinforced. sand blasted and painted by a professional shop.
Milage on the body is unknown. the majority (almost every nut and bolt) of this Jeep has been restored or replaced with original and aftermarket parts. The title Reads "Odometer 0. " So it is essentially a new 1977 CJ. however it is a used 1977 CJ5….
This Jeep has a mechanical clutch.  This means that since the upgraded V8 sits further back in the engine bay. meaning that it's closer to the flywheel and clutch.  We installed a mechanical clutch to fit right on par with the new engine.  When shifting gears. the clutch is only pushed in about 1/4 to 1/2 way.  It is controlled by a strong spring underneath and is made for easy shifting. (please contact with any questions)

The Issue's:
There are some chips on the top part of the Grill because the owner dropped it during final assembly putting it back together. The Fuel sending unit in the gas tank needs replaced which causes the gas gauge not to work (runs and drives fine).  There are stress marks/fine cracks in the paint on the back of the tub near the passenger side brake light from the weight of the spare tire and assembly pulling on the back of the tub. A metal plate has been added to reinforce the fiberglass tub and the issue has been corrected. However. the paint still needs fixed. Also it has a very small oil leak coming from where engine and transmission meet. Also. the knob for the indicator lights has been broken off and will need to be replaced for the indicator lights to work. The final issue is that there is a locking lug nut on each wheel. however the lug nut key has been lost. So in order to take them off you will need to figure out a way to get them off. This Jeep does have some issue that need to be worked out but with a little bit of TLC this will be one of if not the best CJ5 on the Road.
