This 1979 Jeep CJ-5 was the subject of a Collins Bros’ refurbishment that was completed in 2025. The truck was repainted in green with gold gradient side stripes, and modifications include a powder-coated frame, a suspension lift, and tan bucket seats with alligator leather inserts. Power is provided by a 304ci V8 that has been fitted with Holley electronic fuel injection, and shifting is through a three-speed manual transmission. Additional features includes a dual-range transfer case, 15″ alloy wheels, a roll bar, a tan hardtop, air conditioning, and an AM/FM radio. Acquired by the selling dealer in 2025, this CJ-5 is now offered with an Arizona title.
The truck was refinished in green with gold gradient side stripes during the refurbishment and features fabricated steel bumpers, a chrome grille cover, a removable tan hardtop, a fold-down windshield, dual side mirrors, removable doors, and round headlights. Paint blemishes are visible around the vehicle, including cracking on the left fender.
The 15″ alloy wheels are wrapped in 31×10.5 Cooper Discovery AT3 tires. A matching spare is mounted to the swing-out rear carrier. The frame was powder coated during the refurbishment, and a lifted suspension system has been installed. Braking is handled by power-assisted front discs and rear drums, and the truck is equipped with power steering and manually locking front hubs.
The cabin features front buckets and a rear bench seat trimmed in tan leather with alligator skin inserts, and additional equipment includes a glovebox, a roll bar, seat belts, wooden shift knobs, an AM/FM radio, and air conditioning.
The Grant GT steering wheel fronts a 90-mph speedometer with inset gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature, along with readouts for voltage and oil pressure. A controller for the electronic fuel injection sits to the left of the steering column. The five-digit odometer shows 52k miles, approximately 50 of which were added by the selling dealer, though total mileage is unknown.
The 304ci V8 has been fitted with Holley electronic fuel injection and features billet accessory pulleys and finned aluminum valve covers. Work in October 2025 included replacement of the timing cover gasket, PCV vent cap, and engine oil, along with the installation of an aluminum radiator.
Power is sent to the rear or all four wheels through a three-speed manual transmission and a dual-range Dana transfer case. Finned differential covers have been installed front and rear.
The Arizona title shows a “Not Actual Mileage” notation in the Odometer section.
