1974 Jeep CJ5 74 CJ-5, 258 Inline 6, 3-spd, 4X4, 41k Original Documented Miles

1974 Jeep CJ5, 258 Inline 6, 3-spd, 4X4, 41k Original Miles!
This is an amazing, driver condition survivor with about 41k original, documented miles. An original, numbers-matching Jeep with some modest updates. Runs and drives better than new. Drive anywhere just like it is. Alternatively, it would make a perfect starting point for full restoration.

The original owner of this Jeep was also the owner of the AMC/Jeep dealership in Tallahassee in the 1970s. It spent most of its life on his farm. About 7 years ago it was sold to a friend and senior employee of the same company. So this wonderful Jeep has remained within the local "Jeep family". Well-kept, well-loved, and its entire history well-known.

The original straight 6 starts right up thanks to the electronic ignition added by the current owner. The car runs, drives, shifts, stops, and steers great with new shocks, leaf springs, steering rack, alternator, and exhaust. A factory-trained technician recently performed a complete inspection and tune-up. The body is very straight and solid in spite of some minor rust and dings in certain areas. It is extremely rare to find an original Jeep this age in such great condition.

BID WITH CONFIDENCE!

The COLLECTIBLE KING is an advertiser of classic and special interest automobiles--not the owner of the vehicle shown. I personally inspect and photograph each vehicle to provide you with an honest and unbiased assessment. I want you to be completely satisfied with your purchase so that you and others will purchase more collectible vehicles through me in the future.

TERMS OF SALE:

Please remember that a bid is a legally binding contract to buy the vehicle if you are the high bidder--just as in auctions you physically attend. The terms listed below are part of that contract, and a bid constitutes acceptance of these terms.

PAYMENT:

At least a $500 DEPOSIT MUST BE RECEIVED WITHIN 5 DAYS, or the vehicle may be re-listed or offered to an under-bidder, and an unpaid item report will be filed with eBay. The balance must be paid within 2 WEEKS. Full payment or deposit is accepted in the form of money order, cashier's check, wire transfer, or cash. PAYPAL IS NOT ACCEPTED FOR VEHICLE PURCHASES.

SHIPPING & HANDLING:

The buyer should arrange their own shipping or pick up the vehicle in person. If desired, I can assist with shipping arrangements or ship the vehicle if the buyer pays all costs in advance.

RETURNS / REFUNDS:

The vehicle is sold as-is with no warranty expressed or implied. All sales are final. Questions and test drives are encouraged in order to clear up any concerns about the vehicle, but the buyer must do so before bidding. Extensive effort is made to inspect the vehicle and report all flaws and features accurately and completely, however, there is always a possibility of errors in the listing or that something was missed during the inspection. The buyer is responsible for making sure the vehicle is what they want prior to bidding.

In the event that there is a significant discrepancy between the actual condition of the vehicle and the condition stated in the listing, the seller will--AT THE SELLER'S OPTION--either offer a discount, remedy the problem, or cancel the sale and refund the deposit. Such discounts, remedies, or cancellations will not be offered after the vehicle has been shipped or had ownership transferred to the buyer.
