Nicely organized, well-worded ad with good pictures for an item I would love to have. You’re becoming a rarity on CL. Figures that you would be 2k miles away. GLWTS.

If only we were about 2,000 miles closer your jeep would have a new home in my garage. Miss my old '63 flat fender.

That is so true! smile

Trying to give the campfire guys a leg up over a local sale, knowing it would require some logistics to ship.

Hard to think your selling your Jeep! I just sold my 2002, but picked up a 2011, should sell quick, im thinking!

Jeep never used a straight six.
Posted By: kenster99 Re: Selling my CJ5 - 06/08/18
uh, but they did use a straight 6.
Posted By: old_willys Re: Selling my CJ5 - 06/08/18
Starting in 1972 Jeep added 4 inches to the CJ-5's so they could fit in either the 232 cu in or 258 cu in Straight Six.

Back then I had a 72 Renegade but oped for the AMC V8 304 cu in.

Bump to a sweet rig.

Pretty good bear hunting truck. You can hang out the doors in low range and check the road for tracks LOL.

OK, I stand corrected. A nice Jeep.
Posted By: Fireball2 Re: Selling my CJ5 - 06/08/18
After working in the dirt all day, it's nice to jump in the Jeep and run down get the mail at the post office. Makes the day a little more worth doing. It's got one of those magnets on the dash, "It's a Jeep thing, you wouldn't understand".

Sometimes it's the small things that help you get outside yourself. I've really enjoyed it.

My CJ-7 had a straight 6.

258ci = great engine it was. I had an older American Motors with the same engine.

Why not pay for a transport? My F250 was shipped Amarillo to Houston for $500.

Bump for a good lookin jeep.
I have a 73' cj5 with about 89,000 on the odometer. I think it was the last year with the straight windshield and the first year with the AMC 304 8 cyl.
I've had in storage for about the last twenty five years.
The market seems to be starting to appreciate them more.

Had someone send me a fake cashiers check for $3300 for a Datsun 280Z. Tow truck will be right over, any leftover money from the check just give it to him in cash. Yeah right.

Someone needs this in their garage.

Posted By: rainierrifleco Re: Selling my CJ5 - 06/10/18
If I'm not mistaken the 4 cyl used in these jeeps was called the iron duke....a Chevy engine...this combo with 4 speed would be very desirable to me...more than adquate power for a stock jeep....and econimacal....most dont like them as the first thing they do is lift it and put on swampers...had an iron duke in a little Pontiac car... It had a holly 2 barrel with a vacume secondary....that little car was fast...and got 40 mpg...
Posted By: Fireball2 Re: Selling my CJ5 - 06/10/18
You want to do some interesting reading there's a guy that put the marine version of the iron duke in his Jeep and went from 82 HP to 150. I don't remember where I found it but I was just Googling around one day. Had to make quite a few modifications to make it work but he got it.

Just drove it down to the market for a soda. Living large.

My understanding as well. Chevy Vega used an aluminum block. Supposed to have been "silicon" treated or something. Piston rings ate up the aluminum in a hurry. Pontiac Sunbird came out with the "iron duke" 4 cylinder based on the cast iron block. Had a VERY strong reputation for reliability and durability. Cool ride. GLWYS !

$10K makes you a Jeep owner. Deer lay down near Jeeps.

Posted By: RDW Re: Selling my CJ5 - 06/11/18
The GM151 is not the Pontiac Iron Duke, common misconception.

The GM151 was used in the S10 and Citation and I have also heard the Marine longblock is a direct swap for the GM151 although I have not known or even read about anyone doing it. The GM151 as noted earlier uses the same bellhousing as SBC but if I remember correctly, you need a starter out of a late 80's Camaro, flywheel tooth count being the problem.

I had a 350 bolted up to the T177 in my CJ7 in place of the GM113 but decided to go with a 4.2.

Very nice CJ5 and worth 10K, I could not leave it stock but that's me.

What is top speed on good road? I had a CJ7 6cyl 3 speed back in the day that would top out around 65mph. Didn't want t push it more than that.
Posted By: Fireball2 Re: Selling my CJ5 - 06/17/18
Yeah you don't ever want to do 90 in a CJ5, so keep it to highway speeds. I drive slow on purpose and tend to take backroads whenever possible because that's how I roll. 65 is no problem, but I'm a 35-40 kind of guy, mucho relaxing.
