1977 Jeep CJ5 Golden Eagle

1977 Jeep CJ Levis Edition Description

Up for auction is a very original 1977 Jeep CJ5, Levi Edition, Golden Eagle. I am the second owner of this CJ5. I have owned it for almost 4 years. This Jeep has never been parked outside its whole life. It has always been garaged since the day it was bought in California. It has only resided in dry states. Bakersfield, CA, West Texas and Arizona, now back in Hermosa Beach, CA. This is a very well kept Jeep. Mostly original with slight modifications. When bought new it had a high torque cam installed, exhaust headers, and balanced. There have been tons of modifications, none which have molested the Jeep, no accidents, no bondo, no damage and ZERO rust!!! This is the original Oakleaf Brown paint with original gold wheels (only available in 1977)! This is the real deal, not a repaint! The mileage is currently 94,189, NOT 194,189!!!!. Mostly road miles, appx 2,000 of them towing miles from previous owner. This is the 304 V8 motor and it runs flawless! No leaks!!! Turn key every single time! Electronic ignition. Original 2 barrel carb, completely rebuilt in 2011. Original axles (rear: AMC Model 20, 3:54 ratio, code "N" locking differential; front: Dana 30, 3.54 ratio). Dana 300 transfer case. Warn locking hubs. 15x8 original wheels with 31x10.5 R15LT M&S tires (appx 4,500 on them since new) Brand new matching spare (never used). New water pump, timing chain cover, cam and crank sprockets and radiator in 2009. Lifted in 2011 with Pro Comp 2" leaf springs and shocks. New brake master cylinder and rear brake cylinders in 2012. Fitted with JKS front anti-swaybar quick disconnects. Custom rear bumper with hi-lift jack. Wired for towing. Comes with tow bar, but will not fit new front bumper. 25 gallon gas tank, (Tank has small dent on bottom, has zero effect on performance). Bikini top cover. Full soft top, with soft doors. NO hard top. Chilton repair manual included. The back seat is original Levi edition! The front seats are original to the Jeep, but were upholstered some years back from the original owner, not Levi material, but in great shape!
Note: This is the CA Golden Eagle which was only available through California AMC Dealerships!!
