1969 Kaiser Jeep CJ5

Gateway Classic Cars Houston is very pleased to offer this good looking 1969 Kaiser Jeep CJ5. The CJ, or “Civilian Jeep”, is by far the most iconic Jeep platform to be created. Built out of a consumer demand from returning home G.I.’s the CJ was built to be just as tough and sturdy as its military counterpart. This Empire Blue CJ-5 is no exception to this and has the looks as well as the “go anywhere attitude” associated with CJ’s. The paint and body on this beast are truly a sight to behold dressed out in a great, fairly fresh paint job and recovered seating areas compliment the overall appearance of this American classic. This Jeep is an absolute eye catcher on the road. Under the hood of this CJ for sale lies the true function of these machines; a 225 CID 3.7L Dauntless V6 powers this light weight 4x4 insuring plenty of power to get out of any mud hole you happen to run through. Producing nearly double the horsepower of the Hurricane engine, the Buick-designed "Dauntless V-6" made 155 hp at 4000 rpm and the torque was 235 ft lb at 2400 rpm. The engine's firing order, 1-6-5-4-3-2, is known as the "odd-fire" pattern. A heavier flywheel was used to increase torque, and also help dampen vibrations of the odd-fire design. The "T-14" 3-speed manual transmission is coupled into the bullet proof Dana 44 rear end. The transmission, as well as the transfer case, clutch, clutch release bearing, pilot-bearing and seals were all redone less than 8,000 miles ago & is documented with the sale. A new muffler was also installed less than 6 months ago and it is sitting on a fairly new set of B.F. Goodrich rubber. The look of this Jeep is definitively clean. Having had a full refresh over the last 4 or 5 years, this CJ5 looks like it just recently rolled off the assembly line. Whether you are headed out in the rain or shine, this CJ5 has you covered……literally! A soft top and doors keep you fully enclosed on the gray days which can easily be removed for full effect of the great outdoors, and the bikini top will keep the sunburns off your nose! Options on this ’69 Jeep include seat belts, removable top and doors, radial tires.
