Dads new toy - 1980 CJ5

My Father just purchased a restored 1980 CJ5 with a 304 V8 and a 4 Speed Trans. The guy did a great job restoring it. He had a Edelbrock intake and carb installed and it had a stumble off idle when we picked it up, a little re-jetting and it's running great now . My father will be using it in the Alvord Desert this summer, should be a great time.

My father and I built up a 03 Rubicon which my father sold a few years ago, we both agree the CJ5 is more fun to drive. Bring on summer!

Here's a few pics..It's a dark metalic green but the color didn't come out very well in the pics.

Wowser that is nice.

SWEEEET! You'll have to bring it to Nachees this summer!

That is about the sweetest long fender I have seen in a loooong time. I used to have a 72' CJ5 that was my everyday driver. Like a DA I sold it.

Good lookin ride! I love jeeps, damn things get a lot of my money. Just Empty Every Pocket.

Needs more mud, scratches and dents.
