No Emissions Required in California! CA Registered

Hello & Thanks for Looking.

Up for auction is my personal 1975 Jeep CJ5 V8 Softop.  

I bought this as a basket-case and have sorted through this truck to make a truly reliable and fun Jeep. I've gone through and replaced almost all of the electrical connectors from the front turn signals to the new LED brake lights and almost all the wiring between. There are no electrical gremlins. and the alternator charges incredibly quickly.  I've been using this Jeep as my daily driver for some time. and the farthest I've driven it is 350 miles in one way (8hr trip) . This CJ5 starts the first time. every time.

As life would have it. my wife and I are expecting our first child so the Jeep has to go. It's a real shame because I've spent so much time and money to get this Jeep to the way you see it today. The condition report should be read at the bottom for consideration. With a little paint. this could easily be a $20. 00 truck. because everything mechanical has pretty much been done.

Buyer must co-ordinate shipping if buyer requires freight. but I'm very to work with a shipping company if needed.

And plenty more that I didn't document.

Being over 40 years old. this CJ5 is in great mechanical shape. There are several nicks. and paint defects and with minimal rust (please see pictures).

-This is a California truck. and has a current/clear CA title. The registration & plates will expire on 5/14/14. and will cost $19 to register after that date in CA.

-The paint has been touched up. but it's an older metallic paint it is hard to match. but it is close. The hood has some clear coat damage. but still looks good. The cowl vent has a chrome blank panel installed. and the blue paint has chipped on the chrome. On the passenger/drivers side there are a couple bubbles under the paint near the jeep logo.

-The transmission reverse gear synchros grind when going in reverse sometimes. but I added new fluid additives so it may go away. The synchros got worn because the previous owner used it as a parking brake.

-The brakes pull slightly to the right initially. I believe it's a front pad issue since the previous owner drove this Jeep with the master cylinder/booster working.

-Being a California Jeep. there isn't much rust for the age. The passenger side front tub support shows some old rust damage. but it's doing it's job (there's a photo from underneath)Typical small surface rust near the exterior reinforcement panel on both sides.   

These are all to be expected from a vehicle of this age. The CJ5 was made for utility so it's amazing these trucks survived at all!
