1981 Jeep CJ7 Laredo Custom. The jeep has been in storage since late 2008. I had done a good deal of restoration and had it painted Ford Chrome yellow. I was in a serious accident and it has been stored ever since. I have decided that I will not finish it as I had planned. It has a Jeep 360 with a street cam and a 727 automatic transmission. The motor and trans is professionally built and I have just under 5,000.00 in the motor and 2,000.00 in the trans. The motor and trans has about 4,800 miles on them.  It comes with the bikini top shown in the pics and also has a fiberglass hard top with steel doors (black) and a tan soft top. The soft top is probably in rough shape but the frame is in tact. Neither top has been on the jeep in many years but I believe most if not all the hardware is here. It has the original seats which need to be recovered but also has after market seats. There is one of each in it as shown in the pics. I was taking the original seats out to be recovered just before the accident.  I had the old gas drained and new points, condenser and coil put on it. It runs good as ever but does need to be fine tuned and run some. It was built to have 400HP and still be a good daily driver with mpg around 16. It is very dirty from being in storage and I am not able to clean as I would like. I am trying to get a friend to come do "some" cleaning but so far he hasn't made it by. The pics show that the interior is dirty but don't show that the exterior is just as dirty. I did give it a light wash as best as I was able and it will clean up pretty good. A while back a tree fell on the building it was in and some stuff fell on the hood and scratched it and the finders. I suspect that the new owner may have it painted anyway unless your ok with yellow. I put no value on the paint job. Also one of the tree limbs pushed the passenger side window out of the hard top. It is not damaged and the rubber seal is ok. It can be put back in but it will take someone with stronger hands that I have at present. As it sits the Jeep is ready to drive but it does need cleaning and your personal touch to get it like you want it. It has to go. I set the buy it now at what I believe all the components are worth as a whole. There are some boxes of stuff I had bought for it that will go with it. Please ask questions as I deal with some memory issues and questions will help me give more details.  If you use paypal any fees they charge me will be added to buyers cost at closing. Also this is for sale locally and I will end this early if needed.

Thanks for looking and Good Luck!!


A added note, the pics may or my not show it but the valve covers appear to be rusted over. I polished a small area with a dry shop cloth and it actually came clean. I believe these can be cleaned up. Again the whole thing needs a good cleaning. And to make it clear. I'm selling as is. Look it over good and ask questions. I have nothing to hide and it has to find a new home.

Jeep spied testing new compact crossover

Tue, Nov 24 2015

Jeep is preparing a new crossover to slot in between the Renegade and Cherokee. Spied here for the first time, the new model is expected to arrive sometime around the middle of the new year. And with it, FCA's off-road brand will finally have a successor for the Compass and Patriot. From the little bit we can project at this early stage, the new C-segment Jeep is expected to ride on a modified version of the platform that underpins the Renegade and Fiat 500X. Motivation is tipped to come from the company's new 2.0-liter turbocharged Hurricane inline-four mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission. We expect it to come in front and all-wheel-drive versions. The big question mark at this point is what the vehicle will be called. As the replacement for both the Compass and the Patriot, this model could adopt either nameplate – or it could wear a new one entirely. If the Renegade and 500X are anything to go by, the new Jeep could be offered as a Fiat as well, which could easily be dubbed the 500XL. We'll have to wait and see, but in the meantime you can check out the prototype – albeit in camouflaged form – in the image gallery above. Related Video:
