     This NO RESERVE auction is for a 1977 Renegade CJ7 Levi's edition 304 v8 Jeep. This Jeep was bought new in Pickens South Carolina at the famed Hinkle Jeep dealership. The dealer sticker is still on the front grill along with the "Hinkle" rear bumper. It also has the original 15 x 8 chrome spoke wheels that were a Hinkle option. Google "Hinkle Jeep" if you are unfirmiliar with them, they were the largest in the world in the seventies. This Jeep has always been a local Jeep as it was bought off the original owner just a couple of months ago. This CJ is very solid with just a couple of rust issues at the usual spots. There is some rust where the jack mounts under the drivers seat. There is also some where the reinforcement is just behind the Jeep logo on the side of the tub. The tailgate does need to be replaced also. The lower spare tire mount is tore out of the body and does need attention. The floor boards have some surface rust on it as well but they are very solid, just surface.The frame and underside is very rust free, no mud inside the frame. All of these issues are normal for an original Jeep and are easy to fix. Under the battery is very nice, just some surface rust.

     The Jeep fires up and runs like it should, choke and high idle works well. You can drive it and lug it down and almost count the cylinders firing and doesn't miss a beat, no smoke or rattles.The power steering does leak and is weak, no other major leaks. The transmission and clutch works like they should as well as the transfer case. The CJ does have front disc brakes and they work well. There are no locking hubs, just the stock factory bolt on plates. The CJ did come with the heavy duty cooling and had the factory shroud and clutch fan. This does have the manifolds and pipes that go under the frame out to side pipes. The doughnut gaskets do leak. 

     The Jeep had not been repainted, those are the original decals. But the original owner did take some black spray paint and tried to "doctor" it up in places. The CJ drives good down the road with just little bit of wander, the shackle bushing are original and look good. The dash is uncut, there is a old style aftermarket radio in it. The factory tan dash pad is there and in very nice condition, no cuts or cracks. The original rear seat is still there but the front ones either have been recoverd or replaced, the seat brackets are original though. Black outside color and tan interior. The top is ok, it will keep you and the Jeep somewhat dry.

     Sorry guys, I feel like I am rambling on, just trying to cover everything so when you come to pick it up there are no surprises. If you want a nice CJ either to restore or make into a nice driver then this is the one! This does need to be trailered home as there are some dry rot in the tires and it does need to be gone over before it is driven much. I did drive it up and down the road but only up to about 40 mph. No shipping on this.....$500 to my paypal account within 48 hours of end of auction. I am located halfway between Atlanta and Charlotte right off of I85. If you want to come and look. Thanks

Jeep Cherokee finally dealer-bound

Tue, 22 Oct 2013

We had our First Drive of the 2014 Jeep Cherokee last month, but it appears that prospective buyers won't have too much longer to finally get time behind the wheel of the new small Jeep.
Automotive News is reporting that after a two-month delay, Jeep dealers will finally start receiving their first shipments of the new Cherokee, in the next 10 days. A Chrysler spokesperson confirmed to Autoblog that the Cherokee is indeed on its way to Jeep dealers.
According to AN, about 23,000 Cherokees have been built since production commenced back in June, but potential powertrain issues forced Jeep to make adjustments to the Cherokee along the way. Automotive News says that in order to make sure there are no issues with the Cherokee before it reaches customers, it is testing each vehicle after it rolls off the assembly line at a rented test track near the vehicle's Toledo North Assembly Plant.

2017 Jeep Com-Patriot looks like a mini Grand Cherokee

Mon, Sep 19 2016

Jeep plans to merge the Compass and the Patriot into a single model, and today we're getting an undisguised look at the compact crossover. These images from Brazil's Autoo were captured before a photo shoot. The SUV, which retains the same shape as the prototypes our photographers captured testing earlier this year, borrows a sizable amount of styling cues from the larger, more expensive Jeep Grand Cherokee. If the SUV's badging is anything to go off of, Jeep will retain the Compass moniker for the upcoming vehicle. At the front, the SUV has a similar grille to the Grand Cherokee with seven rectangular openings, which are smaller than the ones found on the current compass, with chrome trim. The headlights and LED daytime lights are also similar to the ones on the Grand Cherokee. The black roof, which is a new touch for Jeep, is a nod toward the SUV's European competitors like the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque. The new model loses the square-like taillights on the previous model for oval-shaped ones. Overall, the SUV adds modern touches to the aging Compass and Patriot models while staying true to Jeep's iconic look. The SUV is expected to utilize a modified version of the platform found on the Jeep Renegade and Fiat 500X. Power could come from a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four engine that's mated to either a nine-speed automatic transmission or a six-speed manual gearbox. Just like the current model, the upcoming Compass will have front-wheel drive as standard with all-wheel drive as an option. The next-gen Compass will be manufactured at Jeep's new plant in Brazil, where the vehicle will also makes it official debut later this year. The baby Grand Cherokee will make its first appearance on American soil at this year's Los Angeles Auto Show.

AEV Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon

Fri, 28 Feb 2014


After their rented 2007 Hummer H3 failed them during the brutal Rallye Aicha des Gazelles in Morocco, Amy Lerner and her sister Tricia Reina were on a quest to find the most capable production off-roader for their next competition - they chose a 2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon. Their next mission was to find a company with the competence to configure it to win. After poring over Internet forums and perusing countless magazines for an outfitter who could meet their demanding requirements, they sent their bright orange JK ("Crush" is the official color) to American Expedition Vehicles (AEV) for some modifications.
The Michigan-based team at AEV kept the Jeep's 3.6-liter V6 and automatic transmission stock, but replaced the hood with a tall AEV Heat Reduction Hood and added an AEV Snorkel Kit for water crossings (it serves double-duty as its raised height helps to keep the air intake out of the kicked-up dust on the trail). Front and rear off-road bumpers were bolted in place, and AEV skid plates were added to provide additional undercarriage protection. A pair of IPF-900 off-road lights improve visibility, while a 10.2-gallon AEV Fuel Caddy (located behind the exterior spare) added some range. The suspension was upgraded with a 3.5-inch lift kit with Bilstein remote reservoir shocks, and 35-inch Falken Wildpeak A/T tires (LT285/70R17) were mounted at all four corners on AEV's beadlock wheels.
