1977 Jeep CJ5 CJ-5 version B (gas cap not be review from North America
"Very Nice collector vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Electronic Ignition system fouled up a couple years back.
Shaft in transmission broke (from jumping over pipelines)
Normal wear and tear (which has been home-fixed)
General comments?
Very nice vehicle from the late 70s.
Not pointless like SUVs.
4WD when you need it, but to mess up a nice vehicle with mud is just plumb crazy.
The vehicle I first learned to drive.
Currently restoring it, found out AMCs are not very easy to get parts for, but not hard either.
Easy to fix if you know even a slight bit about classic vehicles.
