1979 Jeep CJ7 Golden Eagle - 1 Owner!

This rare morocco buff colored original owner classic CJ7 Golden Eagle spent the majority of its life in Las Vegas, Nevada and Western Colorado which are both dry climates.  The Jeep was recently given up by the original owner due to a foot injury making it difficult to drive a manual.  I had the fuel drained and had it serviced last week adjusting the timing, carburetor, fresh oil change and spark plugs.  It is running great now and drives very nice.  I drove it to the mountains today to take photos with the hardtop on and it drove comfortably.  This would make the perfect summer cruiser, weekend warrior or addition to your collection.


Engine:
258 4.2L 6cylinder motor was rebuilt @ 100k miles. It runs great, starts right up (has a manual choke and needs a cable for it) and I do not notice any leaks on the pavement after driving it.  The Jeep is has power upgrades including a 4 barrel Edlebrock carburetor, Clifford manifold, headers and dual exhaust.  The cherry bomb mufflers give it a v8 sound.  There is not a catalytic converter or smog equipment on the motor.

Transmission/Transfer Case:
3spd T150 Manual Transmission that shifts great, whines a little and the clutch is very tight, responsive and does not slip.  The Dana 20 transfer case shifts easily in and out of 4x4.  4x4 works great both in low and high ranges.

Drivetrain/suspension:
The Jeep drives smooth and has an upgraded suspension with Rancho shocks and leaf springs.  The front leaf springs appear to be sagging a bit and could use replacement to match up the rear ride height.  The Jeep is a non power steering unit and if I were to keep it I'd recommend adding power steering for easier driving.

Interior Controls/Switches:
Everything in the interior works except the factory tachometer and the windshield wipers are intermittent.  The radio works but needs a center dash speaker to have sound.

Paint/Body:
The paint is a rare golden eagle color Morocco Buff with Golden Eagle Striping decals.  It is original paint that looks great and super reflective, shows a lot of luster and is shiny.  The rear drivers quarter was repaired at one point, the owner said the jeep was bumped in a parking lot and was professionally repaired.  There is a small section on the drivers rear quarter where the paint is starting to flake off near the front of the flare (view photo).  The front clip and fenders have sand chips.  The hood on the inside has been painted black texture and on the exterior there are a few small ding dents.   There are misc nicks, marks and blemishes to be expected for a 35 yr old Jeep.  One of the rear tire carrier mounts broke off at one point and a support bar was added on back to strengthen the tire carrier.  I just had a new front glass windshield replaced.

Interior:
The interior really nice, the front black aftermarket seats are new and very comfy.  The interior floor has a smooth texture liner on and it appears to be in good shape with some minor flaking in couple spots.  There is a little surface rust on the passenger floor but not thru.  The Jeep is pretty close to rust free except the spot on the passenger door cut out and under the dash pad by the grab handle bar (view photos).

Hardtop and Full Doors:
The original hardtop is in excellent shape.  A polish can be used to bring out the color of the hardtop and it appears the hardtop was repainted at one point.  The rear tailgate on the hardtop has some dents, blemishes (view photos).  The full hard doors are in great shape without any rust.  The windows roll up and down easily (passenger side doesn't quite reach the top, stops about 1/3" from top.  The passenger door has a dent where the vinyl is and both vinyl material on each door have scratches. The passenger side doesn't quite match the repainted hardtop.

Tires/Wheels:
Original 15x8 Gold Golden Eagle wheels with a black stripe.  The wheels are in good shape with some chips and blemishes but still look sharp and original.  The tires were purchased new in 1994 and need to be replaced.  Although I have driven a couple hundred miles on these tires and the tread is 75%, I would highly suggest replacing them as they are dry rotting.  The tire size is 31x10.50x15". 

Rust/Undercarriage:
The only significant rust is on the passenger side by the door cut out (view photos), passenger front fender and passenger front floor have minor surface rust.  The Jeep is very clean and the undercarriage appears discolored and has surface rust but no significant rust issues. 

Overall:
This Golden Eagle will make a great daily driver, weekend warrior, summer adventurer or an addition to your collection.  The CJ7 is used and 35 years old, so it may have blemishes I didn't capture on my camera or may have missed in my description.  I did my best to illustrate the condition, I may have missed something so be sure to ask all questions you have prior to bidding or winning the Jeep.  The Jeep is being sold as is, where is, without warranty or guarantees.  I am not required for your state emission or safety inspections including Colorado.  Included are a clean Colorado Title and bill of sale.

Shipping:
If you are out of state and need to have this Jeep shipped, call M&E Auto Transport #606-354-3643.  Michael is great to work with and offers competitive pricing, quick pickup and delivery.  He has helped me on a couple cars I have bought as well as sold and shipped.

Conclusion:
A $500 non refundable deposit is due within 24 hours of the conclusion of the auction via paypal.  All sales are final.  The final payment must be received within 7 days of auction end time.  Payment options include cash upon pickup, Electronic Bank Transfer or Wire Transfer.  I have sold a few cars on eBay in the past and can provide references if necessary.  I reserve the right to remove the auction at anytime as this Jeep is listed for sale locally as well.

If you have any questions, want to know anything specific or simply make an offer.  Feel free to calling or texting me anytime #720-295-3372

Jeep shows off Moab Easter Safari concepts crawling the red rocks

Thu, 28 Mar 2013

While most brands are busy showing off in New York, Jeep headed out to Moab for the Easter Jeep Safari with the company's fleet of 2013 concepts. This year saw the Grand Cherokee Trailhawk II, Wrangler Mopar Recon, Wrangler Stitch, Wrangler Sand Trooper II, Wrangler Flattop and Wrangler Slim Concepts tackle the rocks and sand, and Jeep was kind enough to bring along a camera crew to film the machines rolling over a few obstacles. The result is the video below, though don't expect to see too much hardcore off road action.
Instead, the quick clip features more than a few interviews with Jeep executives, including Jeep Head of Product Design Mark Allen, explaining what makes the Easter Jeep Safari so important. You can check out the quick clip below for yourself, and be sure to thumb through our galleries of the concepts as well.

April Fools' Day brings Jeep Sedan, Hyundai N Roadster, Toyota Yaris pickup and more

Mon, Apr 1 2019

There is one day out of the year when public relations professionals have permission to lie to journalists and to the public: April Fools' Day. Manufacturers release details about wild, weird and wacky new technology, concept vehicles and services. Some take it to obvious outlandish extremes (Jeep Sedan anybody?), while others plot to mislead with products that are just outside the realm of possibility. Check out all the "jokes" below. BMW Motorrad BMW doesn't want to exclude anybody from experiencing the thrill of high-level racing, so it is introducing 'iRace" autonomous programming on its S 1000 RR sport bike. It includes beginner, sportsman, advanced and unlimited driving modes, and stores GPS information for all Superbike world championship tracks. Hyundai Hyundai is wrong for this. The Hyundai N Roadster is the work of South Korean designer Yeonjoon Park and features a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, rear-wheel drive and a hard convertible top. Hyundai says this is a "concept (for now)," but we think it'd make a seriously great Mazda Miata competitor. Honda Honda wins the award for the best interactive gimmick, as its press release for the '90s-inspired special-edition Pastport includes a live hotline number with a message from Fred Savage. Call 1-833-PASTPORT for more information. Jeep Put the Jeep Cherokee face on the Chrysler 300's body, and voila! The 2019 Jeep Sedan is born. We can't decide if the name or the rendering is better. Land Rover Accessibility to charging ports is of major concern to anybody with a plug-in vehicle. So, with the recent launch of the Range Rover P400e and Range Rover Sport P400e, Land Rover is putting forth an effort to install more stations around the globe. First up is Scotland's Isle of Skye. Adventurers need juice too! Lexus Australia Lexus expands its Encore service to include doggos. The new service, called Enpaw, will take pups to luxury boarding kennels in style. Toyota U.S. Toyota created the Yaris Adventure pickup for "those who want to tell their friends they own a truck but never veer off pavement." It's part Mazda 2, part RAV4, 100 percent ute and it looks ... great? Creating a new segment might be all fun and games to Toyota, but Ford is reportedly considering a Focus-based ute in a similar, albeit larger, style. Toyota Australia Toyota is launching a new HiAce van, and it's already getting a limited-edition variant called the PieAce.
