!!! $2750 !!!  (offers considered)

1979 Jeep CJ-5.  Bright red with black trim and chrome grill.
Black interior, brand new carpet.  

Completely rebuilt AMC 304 V-8.  
  Edelbrock Manifold
  Holly 4 barrel Carb
  High Performance Cam
  Brand  under-chassis headers (allows nerf bars), & custom dual exhaust.
  etc.
  Approx 10K mi on this engine

  This jeep runs *very* strong.

Four speed manual transmission.  Newly rebuilt clutch linkage

Rancho competition suspension, with 2" lift.  

Full tubular steel roll "cage" with 4 cross supports connecting front and rear
roll bars.  Cage fully padded and taped.   Custom 4" tubular steel bumpers
and push bar.

Kayline soft top, excellent shape except for small (repairable) tear in
driver-side door window.  Bikini top also included.

Competition bucket seats with Deist 5-point racing harnesses for 
driver and passenger.  

I'll include a Clarion AM-FM/Cassette pull out-chassis stereo.  12 pre-set 
seek/scan/dolby etc.  Installation is up to you.  (dash is prepped for it)

Near new (~2000mi) 33" BF Goodrich All-Terrain TA Radials
(A complete set (5), including rear-mounted spare)  mounted on chrome/gold
custom mags.  Wheel locks included.

The catch (there's always a catch). If there wasn't a catch, I'd be asking 
about $5K for this jeep.  And in fact, just over a year ago (from a different 
state), I posted it forsale at $5400.  The catch is that it isn't CA smogged.  

I have three options before me:
  o Smog it myself: I have neither the time nor patience for this right now.
  o Take it out of state to sell it:  My backup plan, but a big pain in the
     butt for me.
  o Sell it as an "off road recreation vehicle"...  ie. this post. 

This would be a *great* jeep for offroading.  It's ready to go.  Probably
the only thing left to add is a big lighting system.

If you're reading this post from out of CA, are looking for a 4X4, and have
a way to pick this one up- it's a great deal.   

At this price, it's probably worth smogging.  I think smogging it for CA 
would cost ~1700 (needs new exhaust manifolds w/ smog pumps, catalytic 
converter, spark control, stock carb etc.)  But, that's paying 'retail' for
parts and repairs, if you're handy or know someone who can do the work,
I'm sure it could be done cheaper.  It would be sad though, to take all the
high performance parts off of it- that's probably part of the reason I'm
so reluctant to do it myself :-(.

Buyer will be expected to sign a waiver stating that they are using the 
Jeep for "off road" purposes (or taking it out of state) and won't hold me 
responsible for it passing a CA smog test.  

If you are interested in taking a look, drop me email, call me at work, 
or at home before 9pm (415) 964-2809
