About this 1979 Jeep CJ-5

VIN: J9F83EH017572

Motivated Seller - Selling my 1979 Jeep CJ5 with 56k original miles. Details:

Pros:
- Very clean body and interior.
- New clutch
- New U-Joints
- New fuel sending unit
- New brake lines
- New carb
- New mirrors
- New windshield wipers
- MP3 capable radio with sub in rear

Cons:
- Steering needs adjusted (steering wheel has play in it)
- Wiring needs to be hooked up for gas gauge and temperature gauge (new gauges and fuel sending unit installed, but wiring needs to be grounded to frame and not fiberglass)
- Fiberglass body isn't 'perfect', but still looks very good overall

Comes with doors and soft-top roof, although roof isn't the most pretty (I leave it off).
