GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this iconic 1980 Jeep CJ-5, a timeless classic that embodies the spirit of adventure and rugged off-road capability. This particular CJ-5 is powered by the “Hurricane”-branded version of the GM Iron Duke I4 engine, renowned for its durability. Paired with an SR4 close-ratio, four-speed manual transmission, this Jeep delivers a truly engaging driving experience.

Under the hood, the Hurricane engine provides a drivetrain perfectly suited for both on and off-road adventures. The close-ratio SR4 transmission ensures smooth and precise gear shifts, enhancing the driving experience whether you’re navigating beach-town streets or tackling challenging trails. This Jeep’s engine was rebuilt at 87,934 miles by Jennings Auto, ensuring it runs and drives exceptionally well.
The exterior of this CJ-5 is finished in striking Wimbledon White, which highlights its classic Jeep styling. The body-colored dashboard adds a touch of vintage charm, while the black seats provide a comfortable and practical interior. This Jeep’s suspension has been thoroughly refurbished around the time of the engine rebuild, contributing to its excellent ride quality and handling. With over $16,000 of documented work dating back to 2010, this CJ-5 presents itself beautifully, both in terms of aesthetics and driveability.

The Jeep CJ-5 has a storied history, originating from the military Willys Jeep used during World War II. Introduced to the public in 1954, the CJ-5 quickly became a favorite among off-road enthusiasts for its rugged construction and exceptional versatility. Over the years, the CJ-5 saw various updates and improvements, including the adoption of the “Hurricane” engine in the late 1970s, which added a new level of reliability and power. This 1980 model represents the final years of CJ-5 production, making it a highly sought-after example of a legendary off-road vehicle.
