Selling my wife’s 1979 Jeep CJ5 Custom Resale RED “Hot Rod”!

 

Yeah you heard me right my wife’s Jeep. A couple of years ago she wanted a toy to ride around town in and take to the local car shows and monthly cruise in. Well she found this Jeep and fell in love with it. It is COOL, FAST, LOUD, DEPENDABLE, FUN and gets attention everywhere you go.

This Jeep underwent a full frame off restoration. Then later the owner at that time had an awesome

It is mated up to a GM TH350 automatic transmission attached with Advance Adapters to the stock Dana 20 transfer case with custom drive shafts running to a stock front end and to a fully custom Ford 9 inch rear end. The rear was narrowed and features Lock-Right Powertrax Automatic Positive locking Differential. The front axle sports Pro-Comp hubs. Controlling the TH350 is a B & M bump shifter with reverse lock out. If you want to leave a red light FAST this Jeep will make it happen with slight pressure on the right foot!

The Bad:

 

The paint is not 100% perfect. Hey it is a Jeep right?

There are a few very small chips on the front edge of the front fenders

There are two paint chips on the driver’s side entry area hidden with the doors on

There are two small dings on the hood (no chips) that do not show in the pictures

There is one very small ding on the top of the driver’s side front fender

There are some small blisters in the paint on the cowl behind the hood in front of the windshield

There is a very small oil leak around the transmission oil pan

It has a new horn but it needs a new horn switch in the steering column. It works if the wheel is turned just right.

The indicator light for the four wheel drive is not hooked up

There is not a park brake put it is an automatic so no big deal

The glove box is fake and only a chrome door cover for looks

Sold As Is - NO WARRANTY 

 

You also get a folder almost two inches thick of receipts, engine specs and owner’s manuals for the winch and carburetor.

We have owned three CJ’s and two Wranglers and have never had one this cool and so well done. With a short wheelbase, lifted, oversize tires and twice the stock horsepower this Jeep deserves respect. Having driven it now a couple of years I find it very easy and fun to drive. We call it our Go Cart! I ran it down I-40 two weeks ago for five miles both ways and kept up with all traffic easy in a 70 MPH speed zone and it tracked and handled GREAT. I added 3 degree shims under the front axle last year and it improved the steering considerably but on grooved two lane country roads it will wonder. On good smooth roads and highways she drives straight & easy.

 

The total investment to date on this Jeep exceeds $18,000.00. I have the reserve set a few thousand under that number. This Jeep is for sale locally for $16,500.00 and I reserve the option to end this auction immediately if the Jeep sells.

This is a very nice Jeep and I’m sure I have missed listing some of the options.

Clear North Carolina title in hand in my wife’s name.

 

Terms:

I require a $500.00 deposit via PayPal by the winning bidder within 24 hours. Full Payment and pick up within 7 days of close of auction.

Buyer responsible for pick up or transportation.

I welcome any questions. Please feel free to contact me on my cell at 336-480-7851.

Thank you for looking and happy bidding.

FCA and Peugeot reportedly agree on merger

Wed, Oct 30 2019

Citing a Wall Street Journal report, the Detroit Free Press says "Fiat Chrysler and PSA Groupe have agreed to merge." The Journal reported on talks between the two car companies only yesterday. It's said that Peugeot's board met yesterday to approve the deal, FCA's board met today, and an announcement could come as soon as tomorrow, Thursday. Both automakers have released statements, but neither company has released any information beyond admitting to ongoing talks. If the merger happens, the combined entity would become the world's fourth-largest carmaker with a $50 billion valuation, slotting in behind Toyota, the Volkswagen Group, and the Renault Nissan Mitsubishi alliance. Among the merger options possible, "an all-stock merger of equals" is the one analysts and Moody's seem to give the best grade. The reported merger would come about four months after FCA walked away from merger talks with Renault. FCA said the French government scuppered those talks over the role of Nissan in a reformed entity, but there were also brewing issues with French unions, and ongoing turmoil among Renault and Nissan leadership thanks to continuing fallout from ex-CEO Carlos Ghosn's arrest last year. FCA makes most of its revenue in the U.S. and rules Italy, while Peugeot is the second-best-selling automaker in Europe with its own brand in France and Opel in Germany. The two companies already have a partnership in Europe making vans, one that FCA CEO Mike Manley has spoken highly of. Among the list of obvious benefits in a potential merger, FCA would get access to Peugeot's small, modern platforms, $10.2 billion in cash, and electrified and hybrid architecture developments, the latter especially important to FCA as those are fields where it lags. Peugeot would get much easier access to the U.S. market, and the money-printing brands Jeep and Ram. A merged carmaker would have combined sales of nearly 9 million a year, based on 2018 results. By comparison, both Volkswagen and Toyota sell over 10 million cars a year, while the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance almost 11 million. Peugeot CEO Carlos Tavares has proved he knows how to do turnarounds and mergers. After leaving a position as Carlos Ghosn's right-hand man in 2012, Tavares took over Peugeot in 2014, navigated a bailout from the French government and China's Dongfeng Motors in 2015, and turned PSA into a regional powerhouse.

Best car infotainment systems: From UConnect to MBUX, these are our favorites

Sun, Jan 7 2024

Declaring one infotainment system the best over any other is an inherently subjective matter. You can look at quantitative testing for things like input response time and various screen load times, but ask a room full of people that have tried all car infotainment systems what their favorite is, and you’re likely to get a lot of different responses. For the most part, the various infotainment systems available all share a similar purpose. They aim to help the driver get where they're going with navigation, play their favorite tunes via all sorts of media playback options and allow folks to stay connected with others via phone connectivity. Of course, most go way beyond the basics these days and offer features like streaming services, in-car performance data and much more. Unique features are aplenty when you start diving through menus, but how they go about their most important tasks vary widely. Some of our editors prefer systems that are exclusively touch-based and chock full of boundary-pushing features. Others may prefer a back-to-basics non-touch system that is navigable via a scroll wheel. You can compare it to the phone operating system wars. Just like some prefer Android phones over iPhones, we all have our own opinions for what makes up the best infotainment interface. All that said, our combined experience tells us that a number of infotainment systems are at least better than the rest. WeÂ’ve narrowed it down to five total systems in their own subcategories that stand out to us. Read on below to see our picks, and feel free to make your own arguments in the comments. Best infotainment overall: UConnect 5, various Stellantis products Ram 1500 Uconnect Infotainment System Review If thereÂ’s one infotainment system that all of us agree is excellent, itÂ’s UConnect. It has numerous qualities that make it great, but above all else, UConnect is simple and straightforward to use. Ease of operation is one of the most (if not the single most) vital parts of any infotainment system interface. If youÂ’re expected to be able to tap away on a touchscreen while driving and still pay attention to the road, a complex infotainment system is going to remove your attention from the number one task at hand: driving. UConnect uses a simple interface that puts all of your key functions in a clearly-represented row on the bottom of the screen. Tap any of them, and it instantly pulls up that menu.

Chrysler announced its 2013 financial results today and unveiled its new name and decidedly bank-like logo. Amid the announcement, Chrysler posted big gains in income, while Fiat didn't perform to analysts' expectations.

In terms of unit sales, Chrysler sold 2.4 million cars worldwide in 2013, up 9 percent. According to Automotive News, 1.8 million of those vehicles were sold in the US, a 14-percent increase. The sales growth boosted Chrysler's US market share to 11.4 percent, up 0.2 percent.
