Chris Harris from /Drive goes to a product launch for the Pirelli P7 Corsa Classic, a new vintage rallying tire, and gets driven around the Italian Alps by racing greats, Markku Alen and Juha Kankkunen. The vehicles of choice? Vintage Lancia hardware: a Stratos, a 037, and a Delta S4.

The Kaiser Jeep gave birth to the idea that one could go out and explore America’s backcountry on a capable, 4-wheel-drive platform. This particular one, a 1966 Kaiser Jeep CJ5, is said to have undergone a frame-on restoration, including new paint and seats, though it’s not clear whether its 134-c.i., 4-cylinder Hurricane engine was serviced or rebuilt.The transmission is a 3-speed, manual.

This Jeep looks like a well-sorted, stock example of this iconic model.

The vehicle is located in Los Angeles and can be found on Expedition Portal. The asking price is $10,500.
