Summary
This 1981 Jeep CJ-5, acquired on BaT, features a 304ci V8 with an Edelbrock carburetor and MSD ignition, paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Recent work includes powder-coating the wheels, installing 33″ BFGoodrich tires, and replacing various components, while prior refurbishment added a dark red metallic repaint, re-trimmed black interior, and a suspension lift kit. An odometer discrepancy is noted, with true mileage unknown.
