I have been presented with a CJ-5 as a trade for a pop-up camper I have listed on craigslist. I listed it for $1750 - not really knowing what it was worth. Probably much less
What I know so far about the Jeep is this from the owner -
"it has the 304 v8. body has very little rust in it. it currently has a bikini top on it. i have a soft top and doors for it but someone took half of the mounting hardware. it runs good. tires are nearly new. 31 x 10.50's. the only thing it really needs would be a clutch kit in the future. the clutch is good but the throw out bearing rattles."
i just want you to know what you are getting. a 1976 jeep cj5 with 32 year old problems. motor runs great and tranny shifts out smooth. 4 wheel drive works great. other than that it needs some TLC!!!!
I'm inclined to go for the trade - I don't care to keep the camper and the Jeep could be a fun warm weather about town ride - I work at home unless I'm flying out of town and my main ride is a '02 Yukon XL 8.1 liter (3/4 ton gas hog).
What would a running but ragged '76 CJ-5 be worth?
