Classic Car Overview

I have a 1978 Jeep CJ-5 for sale with tons of ad ons. It has a fuel injected mildly cammed 350 V8 linked to a custom Magnaflow exhaust with serpentine belts, electric fans, electric water pump, power steering, power brakes, and one of the cleanest engine bays you've seen. Not a single water spot or oil leak. The drivetrain has a 4 speed transmission with twin sticks Dana 300 transfer case. Custom made drivelines to accomodate the extended 97' wheelbase (that's 3" longer than the CJ7 wheelbase) Axles are Dana 44s for both front and rear and they are angled and fabricated to match the driveline angle. The steering has been completely upgraded with extremely beefy components and Hydraulic assist steering. The front brakes are disk brakes and the rears are drum brakes with metal brake lines throughout. Bilstein shocks all around with custom fabricated shock hoops in the front. Exterior features include a +50" lightbar with crawling lights in each fender, 12k pound winch with remote, MotoBilt front and rear bumpers, LED headlights and LED Taillights with led turn signals in each fender, Custom rollcage and rocksliders. The fuel had to be relocated because of the extended wheelbase so there is a hiding fuel cell behind what would be the rear seat. Interior features include 6 Kenwood speakers powered by one amplifier and 2 Rockford Fosgate P3 12" subwoofers in a ported box powered by a 1,200 watt Rockford Fosgate amplifier. 8 speakers total and 2 amplifiers. It has new bucket seats and new gauges except the odomter/mph meter is stock. It has a switches panel to turn off/on fuel, water, fans, lights and a power master switch. Windshield wipers work and has a new windshield. The paint color is actually a tinted epoxy primer so the new owner can rock the color or paint it any color easily without sanding off the old paint etc. I'm sure i'm missing some things but give me call and lets talk!
