1979 Jeep CJ CJ-5 Description

After much internal deliberation, I have decided to sell my 1979 AMC Jeep Silver Anniversary CJ-5. In 1979 I purchased one new and regrettably sold it years later. I decided in 2009 to acquire one once again. After a lengthy search I was able to buy one, however it was in need of some major refurbishing so I decided to do a complete frame-off restoration. After a lot of blood, sweat, tears and $$$ later, I was the proud owner of this great Jeep. It’s time to pass it on (and I’m sure I will regret selling this one as well). Since the restoration was completed, only 3800 miles has been put on the Jeep. Prior to therestoration, the Jeep had 54,000 actual miles on it.

Here’s some info on the Jeep – about the Silver Anniversary Edition and all the work that was performed to bring it back to life.

In 1979, in celebration of 25 years of the Jeep CJ-5, a special limited issue Silver Anniversary Edition was released. Approximately 1000 were produced.

The Silver Anniversaries were featured with:

·Special Quick Silver Metallic Paint

·Uniquely Trimmed RENEGADE Decals

·Chrome Rims

·Power Steering

·Tilt Steering

·Power Brakes

·Tachometer and clock added to the instrument panel

·Marked with a special emblem commemorating the special issue model (see cover of glove box)

To date, only a handful of TRUE Silver Anniversaries remain, as many have either rusted away or have been modified over time and have lost their original appearance.

This Silver Anniversary has been painstakingly restored from the ground up. Every effort was made to return it to its original stock appearance and pristine showroom condition. The matching VINs can be found on the dash and firewall. It retains its original AMC 304 V-8 engine and T150 3-speed transmission as well.

To date, this Silver Anniversary has won over 25 Trophies to include, numerous 1st Place in Class, several BEST IN SHOW, Peoples Choice, Cleanest Jeep and many, many others. (Trophies do not convey)

It runs BEAUTIFULLY and can be used as a daily driver. You know how rare these Jeeps are, and their value. PLEASE, only serious bidders. If you are local to my area, I am willing to arrange a test drive, etc.

This Silver Anniversary has:

Original (rebuilt) AMC 304 V8 engine

Original T150 3-speed manual transmission (rebuilt)

Matching VINS (see pictures)

New BestTop Soft Top

New exhaust (Magnaflow)

New TDK frame (galvanized to prevent rusting)

New metal tub – I had the underside and interior of the tub painted with Raptor that was infused (tinted) with the correct paint color (Quick Silver Metallic 8C). I did this to inhibit/prevent the chance of rusting long-term, and to give the tub better protection from ‘dings’ as a result from gravel, etc. that may get kicked up from the tires when driven.

‘Alterations’ (i.e. non-stock) are as follows:

New Edelbrock Thunder 4BL Carburetor

New Edelbrock Performer Manifolds

Ten Factory AMC 20 rear axle

When reassembling the engine, etc., I chose not to reinstall the smog equipment as it was no longer functioning AND in my state of VA, emission inspections are only required on gas powered vehicles that are “a model year that is less than 25 model years old”.

Front seats are not ‘factory’ but are OEM, as they had been replaced before I purchased it.

Chrome rims are from the Laredo Jeep package

The Jeep has been pre-wired for Kenwood 350W power amplifier that is not installed but will be included in sale. In addition, I will include a vintage (and working) Pioneer AM/FM/Cassette SuperTuner that I had in the Jeep back in 1979. It was to be placed under the dash but never installed. This too will be included in addition to two 6x9 framed Kicker Speakers.

When replacing parts, I did my best to replace them with parts that were OEM.

Following is a list (as complete as possible) of every part, nut, bolt, gasket, etc. that was purchased and date of installation. It demonstrates I did my best not to take any shortcuts in the restoration.
