1978 Jeep CJ5

Description

Here's a bold red and black 1978 Jeep CJ5 with V8 power and quality recent investments. So you can read on for all the details, but once you spot the value price on this classic 4x4, we already know you'll already be hooked.

The CJ5 is the iconic short-wheel base, go-anywhere Jeep. But just because it can get you deep into the wild, doesn't mean it shouldn't look nice out on the town, too. The red is a more recent application, so it has a nice luster in the sunlight. Plus, it lets you see the black details nicely, like the fender flares and Cragar-style "Soft 8" wheels. There has been a new black soft top added within the last year. So not only are all the windows clean and clear, but also it looks crisp and dark to give this Jeep an almost two-tone style presentation when in place. But more than just look great, another dark-style upgrade includes the bumper with welded tow hooks and trailer hitch on the rear. This reminds you that this Jeep is always ready for duty.

As good as this looks with the top in place, a true Jeep is meant to be open to the world. That's why the same color theme continues inside. The red roll bar and dash look great against all the black elements of the interior. Durable vinyl on the seats and upgraded liner paint throughout the flooring keeps this one easy to clean and maintain. Plus, this has great driving features like the new speedometer, Grant sports steering wheel, and the AM/FM/CD stereo with aux input. The locking center console is handy no matter if you want storage out in the wilderness or just need something secured while you run into the Main Street shops.

The 304 cubic-inch AMC motor is that perfect power plant that combines V8 muscle with Jeep-level robustness. This motor is date-correct, so we even suspect it to be original. It has also received the right care and maintenance along the way. This includes a major tune up in 2016 and a new carburetor within the last few months. On the road, you have full control over the V8 thanks to the three-speed manual transmission. On the trail, this V8 is a great partner with the sturdy 4x4 components like the two-speed transfer case and AMC 20 rear end. Add in front disc brakes and the grip of Summit Trail Climber A/W tires, and this is truly an unbeatable package.

The way this looks and the investments made really let you know this is a terrific price for a classic Jeep. So don't miss your chance, call today!
