Classic Car Addict is excited to present this 4x4 1972 Jeep CJ-5

　　for sale in our Mesa, Arizona showroom. The Jeep CJ models are a

　　series and a range of small, open-bodied off-road vehicles and

　　compact pickup trucks, built and sold by several successive

　　incarnations of the Jeep automobile marque from 1945 through 1986.

　　After the CJ-5, round fenders and headlamps were nonnegotiable

　　among Jeepers.

　　The 1972 model year brought significant changes to the CJ-5.

　　American Motors began fitting their own engines, which also

　　required changes to both body and chassis. Also in 1972, AMC's 304

　　cu in (5.0 L) V8 engine became available, which upgraded the

　　power-to-weight ratio to a level comparable to a V8 muscle-car.

　　Other drive-train changes included a new front axle - a

　　full-floating, open-knuckle Dana 30, which was both 25 lbs. lighter

　　and reduced the turning circle by 6 ft.

　　The interior needs a little love, as shown in the pictures. You

　　could reupholster the seats, or just add seat covers. The painted

　　steel dash is clean and presentable. It features a GT Grant black

　　steering wheel that has a "suicide" knob. There are some auxiliary

　　SUN gauges that were installed as well during the engine rebuild. A

　　Craig CB transceiver is also mounted to the dash. Odometer shows 38

　　miles, but consignor states its more like 3830.

　　This is an original paint survivor painted in Butterscotch Gold,

　　which is a rare color. It also has the very rare Arctic hard top

　　and doors with roll up glass windows. This top is a Jeep "special

　　equipment" option.

　　This Jeep has been stored for a few years. They did rebuild the 360

　　V8 in 2015 and put less than 5,000 on the rebuild. They installed

　　an RV cam when they did the engine rebuild. Upgraded the HEI

　　distributor, Edelbrock manifold, Edelbrock two-barrel carburetor

　　and a new custom clutch. The engine runs well without excessive

　　smoke. She rolls on BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A tires, 33x12.50R15LT

　　all the way around.

　　We do have a few recent receipts from the seller that will be

　　included in the sale. The Jeep will be sold on a clean Arizona

　　title. Call Classic Car Addict today to own this awesome piece of

　　history, . And be sure to check out all of our socials,
