Jeep CJ 1978 Description

1978 Jeep CJ5 - The CJ-5 has the distinct honor of being a vehicle that was hard to kill off. It came in 1954 and left in 1984, equaling the longest production run of note. The push was that the Universal Jeep was truly universal--stick it in agriculture, public service, transportation, communications, industry, and it would do the job--from street sweeping to "acting as a public address vehicle" because it was "the world's most useful vehicle." Hey, if it was good enough to rid the roads of trash and Bob's Big Boy wrappers, it was good enough for public consumption. The CJ-5 was a bit bigger/longer than the CJ-3B and was based on the round-fendered '51 M38A1. Willys gave its latest Jeep Universal model lots of newness at launch. Completely new! New ruggedness! New dependability! New comfort! New versatility! The CJ-5 was stepping it up in the brakes, suspension, seating, and even the glovebox (now with cover!) departments. A new instrument panel, larger windshield, and hand brake were selling points. The CJ-5 graduated from Willys to Kaiser and then to AMC, saw itself get longer as a CJ-6 version, and even inspired the FC model--not a bad bio.

If there was ever a classic car to enjoy while it appreciated daily in value, the Jeep CJ5 would be it. There are tons of vintage Jeeps online but rarely do you find one that has had so much love ($$) and attention poured into it. I mean, who spends over $50k restoring a vehicle that is worth $25-30k? Well, the previous owner is "that guy." This beautiful Black Metallic CJ5 recently received a frame-off restoration and has seen less than 400 miles on asphalt since completion. The engine, transmission, front and rear end were all rebuilt during the restoration. A new clutch and brakes were installed as well. This Jeep runs and drives as good as it looks and will definitely make the next owner very proud!

Maintaining an inventory of 30-40 vehicles has worked well for my dealership during our 12+ years of selling on eBay. As the owner, this level of inventory is very manageable and gives me the opportunity to personally detail, photo, drive, and list every vehicle that I sell. Therefore, I know far more about my inventory than most dealers. Review my feedback or contact any of my customers and you will see I do my very best to accurately and honestly describe my inventory. If you still have questions, call/text/email me ANY time to discuss further.
