I looked for years for one in this condition.. Original body and paint and as rust free as they come!! If that isn't enough, this one is set up exactly how I want. I came across this recently and bought it.. I spread myself thin financially doing it, so either this needs to go or my convertible "8701" model Jeepster.. If I dont sell this, I will likely list the Jeepster.. This is one amazing find. Pictures show condition well. It has always been garage kept. Everything that has ever been done to this Jeep has been a methodical sequence of events.. It is obvious when you familiarize yourself a little bit with this Jeep, the two previous owners were very caring owners.I expect questions from serious buyers and I am available to do a "walk around" over the phone for those buyers.. I also encourage you to come out and see it for yourself, I'm willing to pick you up from the airport to help accommodate you. I'm a classic car enthusiast, have owned several neat cars, and have sold a handful of them on Ebay.. The last one I sold was in 2011, it was an original paint 72 Datsun 240z.. Every buyer has been happy with the car they have received. I know where and what to look for when considering a classic car. We all know rust (lack of!) and originality are the key components that dictate value in any classic. I hope you find my description and pictures supportive of a classic car enthusiast.. I truly try to show the areas that I would want to see. Onto the some details of this amazing vehicle.
Body, Paint and Rust Condtion:
Personally, I have never seen one in this condition before.. All original steel body, with no paint work ever. It has always been garage kept. The body is incredibly straight. Study the pics closely, ask for specific pics. The rear corners, tailgate, fender, tub (floor pan) are all superb. The paint still has luster. It has its share of tiny rock chips mostly on the forward areas of the front fenders and grill. The decals are factory, and in good shape considering their age. As far as rust.. Its much easier to show you in the pictures... the lack of rust. I believe the best way to familiarize yourself and really learn what you have is to detail clean the entire vehicle.. After all, dirt is often where rust starts, and hides it from the eye. I've spent some time cleaning and waxing this Jeep.. I will admit, it was very exciting for me to discover how exceptionally clean this CJ7 is! The lift gate of the hard top has a 3-4" hole (see pic) There is one spot shown on the back left corner that is very minor. It localized and the metal around it is solid, has not affected the body mount area below. There is some slight rust beginning under the horn mount on the front left fender, you can email me for a pic of that if you want. I have tried to get good shots of the floors from both sides, they are amazing. A very common spot for rust is the lower back sides of the front fenders, I've included pictures of those areas too.. Again, study the pictures.. Call or email me for any specific shots you may desire.. I have no problem taking pics from my iphone and texting them or emailing them to you.. Just ask.
Mechanical, Drivetrain etc:
This Jeep has been set up perfectly.. in my opinion. To be totally honest.. Its a monster. When you jump on the gas.. be ready.. this thing is like a muscle car. Here are some of the upgrades.
360 AMC V-8 smooth, quiet seasoned motor. Very responsive, very powerful. On occasion, you may see one light puff of smoke at start up.. Does not continue to smoke. Nothing to be worried about at all here.. It has a newer Edelbrock intake and carb setup.. It doesn't miss a beat.. Has all the power and more I would expect from such a motor. It has dual exhaust with glass packs.. When your on the gas.. you know it.. and everyone else does too! Its a little loud for me. Im 100% confident in this motor..
T-18 Ford 4 speed transmission with granny low 1st gear, and low reverse. Works perfectly in all gears, no noises or issues. Clutch engages without any chatter, slippage or issues.
I believe the transfer case, and axles to be original. Quite certain its a Dana 44 in the rear and Dana 30 up front.. Factory skid plates, etc all intact.
The Renegade came with factory power steering and power brakes. Both work well. Steering is good, but may need some attention.. I've driven it at 55-60 mph on a winding road.. handled like I expected a Jeep to.
Has a loc-rite locker in the front.. I've put it into both 4 hi and 4 lo.. you can definitely feel the locker in the front working. Also comes with a locker for the rear that is used and is supposedly the right one! Factory spider gears for the front end included too.
Electrical, everything works including all lights (every light except the under the hood light works). Has an aftermarket tach that is working, factory gauges work.. fuel gauge is working intermittently, working today! Has a newer stereo with aux/ipod hook up. Under the rear seat is a 12V compressor with appropriate air tool kit. This is activated by a toggle switch on the dash. Nice extra.
Suspension: It appears that maybe it has a longer set of spring shackles on it.. It does sit a little lower on the rear left corner.. I cant see any problem with the leaf spring. Has newer shocks and the rest of the suspension/front end looks very original and un-tampered with.
Interior:
Pics show condition well. Dash is in great shape with no speaker holes cut, looks factory. Steering column looks great. Floors have been treated professionally with a bed-liner material and look great. Front seats are original and the upholstery looks great for a 30+yr old Jeep! Rear seat is from a Samurai, it folds and tumbles to reveal the 12v compressor and tool area. This tool box is completely removable if one wanted to go back to the original seat set up. Original rear seat is not included. Seat belts intact. Rear factory roll bar was professionally modified to cover more area in the rear.. it was then powder coated black. It was also, reinforced from underneath for a stronger mount. Nice locking center console with cup holders. Windows roll up and down. Doors have hairline cracks on both, and have been repaired (see photo, black rubber strip). Tailgate works perfectly and rear cargo lift works well. Ventilation/Heater box was completely cleaned, new heater core installed, cables all working.
Accessories:
This Jeep has all of the best accessories you could think of.. Anything added was done extremely well and it shows.
Believed to be a Dealer installed Warn winch, with vinyl cover !!! Awesome!!
Front loc-rite locker
Edelbrock intake/carb
Aluminum radiator
electronic ignition
Aftermarket aluminum wheels, 31" AT's
Nice Bikini top
Nice soft half doors
Has mounts for (2) 5 gal Jerry cans
Comes with a used rear locker (told it will fit, no guarantee)
Nice lockable center console
Nice sounding stereo with 2 6x9 speakers and 2 5.25" in boxes up front.
Like new pair of Cabella seat covers.
12v air compressor and accompanying air tool bag.
Summary:
As I mentioned.. I have never seen one in better condition that this.. Original paint is a big deal for me.. No bondo hiding rust problems.. Great patina, that shows this Jeep has been cared for and preserved. It is a blast to drive.. It really has gobs of power. Everything added and listed above, was very well thought out and adds to the enjoyment factor of this Jeep. With the monster power, super low range ability, Warn winch and the locker up front, this Jeep is very capable off road. Would compliment any Jeep enthusiasts collection. Amazing survivor.

Chrysler has done a pretty good job as of late turning its television commercials into pep talks or rallying cries, but for its first ad for the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee, it turned to Al Pacino's inspirational speech from the movie Any Given Sunday. In the movie, Pacino's character talks about how football is a game of inches, but the commercial, titled Chip Away, focuses more on the attention to detail that Jeep has exhibited on its updated flagship SUV.
Centering around the newest Grand Cherokee model, the luxurious $47,995 Summit trim level, the commercial shows off some of the hand-stitched leathers and real metal and wood accents found inside the cabin. Check out the new 60-second spot by scrolling below.

For the past several years, Fiat Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has made it widely known that the automaker he helms is up for grabs. First, he sent an email to GM CEO Mary Barra, who immediately refused to even discuss a merger. Later, Marchionne set his sights on Volkswagen. That too was swiftly rebuffed. It seemed like no global automaker was remotely interested in a partnership. Now, Automotive News reports that several Chinese automakers have come calling, only FCA isn't ready to answer. At least not yet. The news broke this morning that a major Chinese automaker had made an offer to purchase FCA for slightly above market value. FCA refused, saying the offer wasn't quite generous enough. It's unclear which automaker made the offer, but Automotive News says there's more than one interested party. FCA representatives have recently traveled to China to meet with Great Wall Motors, while Chinese representatives were seen at FCA corporate headquarters in Auburn Hills, Mich. The Chinese government has a lot of money invested in local automakers. It's putting pressure on these automakers to expand globally, including to the United States. As it stands, it's a matter of when a Chinese automaker will start selling cars here, not if. Purchasing an established automaker with a wide range of products and a huge dealer network would do wonders in giving the Chinese a foothold here. Sure, Geely owns Volvo, but a luxury automaker doesn't have nearly as much reach as a more mainstream company like FCA. This seems like the best case scenario for both a Chinese automaker looking to move into the U.S. and for FCA, at least from a business standpoint. The latter doesn't seem to have any other interested parties. It will be interesting to see how FCA would sell a deal like this to the public. We're not sure everyone will be happy with Dodge, Jeep and Ram falling under Chinese ownership. FCA didn't turn down the Chinese because they didn't like the idea. It turned down the offer because there wasn't enough money on the table. Related Video: News Source: Automotive News Earnings/Financials Alfa Romeo Chrysler Dodge Fiat Jeep RAM

Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.
