1977 Jeep CJ

Relisting due to winning buyer not paying for Jeep.
1977 Jeep CJ 5.

6 cylinder 258 ci. T 150 3-speed transmisison and manual Warn hubs.

Manual steering and brakes.

This is currently registered and tagged in Florida with a clean title.

This is as close to spec as you can get.

I bought this Jeep two years ago in NC to have a restoration project (restoration to original spec with some ignition updates). but I have realized I won't have the time in the next few years to complete it. This is a solid Jeep overall and would be great for driving around town. off-road. to break down and restore. or to break down and build to your own specs.
I'll run through the Jeep for everyone who would be looking for things that I was looking for when I found this one:

Engine/Mechanical: No engine oil or fluid leaks.

I have kept this Jeep in the garage for the past two years without a drip pan and have had no drip marks on the floor.

Engine runs very well. no knocking. ticking. etc.

4 WD works well.

I haven't rebuilt the steering. so there is some play.

Emergency brake not functional.

Jeep pulls a little bit to the front passenger side on initial braking of drive but is fine after that - I haven't inspected to identify root cause.

Gauges:

Speedometer. Gas. Temperature. Oil Pressure gauges all work well.

Amp meter does not. Odometer reads 28. 99. but does not increment properly so true mileage unknown.

Switches/Lights/Mechanical:

Lights and parking lights all work.

All side markers light up with exception of passenger front.

Horn works.

Air blower works. defroster works but flow is weak (needs new defroster hose). heater works but is hooked up to the air knob.

Wipers and Radio do not work.

Lap belt needed for front passenger seat.

Body/Frame: There is some surface rust near windshield hinges. overall body is pretty rust free. a couple of places with small rust holes on the driver's side where rocker rails would be. but very minor and no bubbles.

Driver and passenger floor pans replaced with fiberglass by previous owner (two 2'x 2' sections).

Body has diamond plate on rear quarter panels. though from the feel behind the panel it does not appear as though there is rust. but I don't know for sure.

Frame has some surface rust in places. but in great shape and structurally sound.

Top/Doors: Tigertop is in fair shape. so I'd expect this to last a few more seasons.

Soft doors functional and close/open easily.

As I said. this one is a great candidate for full resto. or to enjoy as-is and replace things as needed since this is road-worthy.

I've done my best to cover the condition accurately.

Any questions - then feel free to ask and I'll respond.

If you choose to ship the Jeep then I can make myself available for pickup with the carrier after payment has been made.

Also. I reserve the right to pull this listing at any time.

Good luck!
