1981 Jeep CJ-5 Custom V8 " Fiberglass Body " 4-Speed " $11,500 This 1981 Jeep CJ-5 combines classic short-wheelbase Jeep styling with the power of a Chevrolet small-block V8 and a number of practical upgrades aimed at open-air cruising and off-road enjoyment. Finished in an eye-catching Kaiser-Willys Olive with contrasting tan seating, this CJ presents with fresh paint and the purposeful, no-nonsense appearance that has made the early CJ series such an enduring favorite. The original steel body has been replaced with a full fiberglass body, eliminating one of the most common rust concerns associated with vintage CJs. The interior has been Rhino-lined for durability and easy maintenance, while a Bimini-style soft top provides some welcome protection from the sun without taking away from the Jeep's open-air character. Power comes from a 327-cubic-inch Chevrolet small-block V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission and hydraulic clutch. The Jeep is equipped with power steering, manual brakes with drums at all four corners, and a tilt steering column. The combination of a lightweight fiberglass body, compact CJ-5 dimensions, V8 power, and manual transmission should make this a particularly entertaining Jeep for cruising, trail use, or simply enjoying around town. The exterior's recently applied olive finish is complemented by black fender flares, tubular side steps and a substantial tubular front bumper/brush guard. A fresh set of Goodyear Wrangler MT/R 31x10.50R15LT tires mounted on steel wheels provides the appropriately rugged stance seen here. Inside, the CJ benefits from new tan seats, a custom sound bar, Bluetooth audio capability, tilt steering, and the freshly Rhino-lined passenger compartment. The odometer currently displays 18,586 miles; given the vehicle's modifications and drivetrain changes, the displayed mileage should not be represented as verified original mileage. Highlights include: 327 CID Chevrolet small-block V8 Four-speed manual transmission Hydraulic clutch Full fiberglass CJ-5 body Fresh Kaiser-Willys Olive finish Tan seating Bimini-style soft top Power steering Manual four-wheel drum brakes Tilt steering wheel Rhino-lined interior New seats Bluetooth audio Custom sound bar New Goodyear Wrangler MT/R 31x10.50R15LT tires Steel wheels 18,586 miles displayed VIN: 1JCCN85A8BT008989 Our seller reports no known mechanical problems, and the Jeep is described as ready to enjoy. As always, prospective buyers are encouraged to inspect the vehicle personally or arrange for an independent inspection. Whether the destination is a summer cruise, the beach, a back-country trail or simply the local ice cream stop, this V8-powered CJ-5 offers the unmistakable open-air character of a vintage Jeep with enough upgrades to make the trip even more enjoyable.
