***To all following this listing, a watcher pointed out that I had mistakingly listed this Jeep as a 1981 in the description. It's a 1980. My apologies for the oversight.***


1980 Jeep CJ-7 Laredo, clean Texas title, black on black with original hard top and hard doors (doors have original Laredo interior panels). I'm the 3rd owner of this Jeep, all ownership has been in Texas. I have two CJ’s that are nearly identical and have to get rid of one, we are in need of a larger vehicle and the garage space. This is the nicer of the 2 Jeeps by far, but I owned the other one first and it has some sentimental value to me. This would be a great Jeep for someone wanting to do a restoration, it's very solid, or an even better one for someone wanting to lift it and add larger tires.

The Jeep is almost all original; the only thing that has been changed is the engine and wheels/tires. Previous owner took out the original 304 V8 and had an AMC 360 V8 professionally installed with an Edelbrock performance carb and intake. This is a very common swap in this era of Jeep as the 80's Grand Wagoneers came with the 360 and it's almost a direct swap. The Jeep has a tremendous amount of power, would handle larger tires very well.

The transmission is an automatic. It shifts very well, smooth through all gears and into/out of reverse.

The transfer case works perfectly, will run in 4-H or 4-L without any grinding, whining, clicking, etc.

Interior is all original. Driver’s side seat is a little torn on lower, upper is in great shape. Both passenger and rear seats are in great shape. Coming apart slightly at the seams but could easily be repaired. Has a CD player and (2) marine grade speakers in the rear.

Wheels are gloss black steel 15x8, tires are 31x10.50 Kumho street tires that are almost brand new. My other Jeep has (5) 235x75x15 BFG All Terrains that are almost new, for an extra $500 I'll swap the tires before selling it.

There is almost no rust on this Jeep with the exception of (2) small places. Drivers floorboard has a small spot that my body shop said could be repaired for $100. Rear quarter panel has a small spot as well, almost the same size. None of the usual problem areas have any issues (ie body mounts, rear floor pans behind front seats, rear wheel wells, etc.). As you can see in the photos, the Jeep is very clean and would make a great rig as it sits.

The odometer on this Jeep shows 62,XXX miles. There is not a digit to the left of the 6, but the previous owner was adamant that the mileage shown was exact. Anyone who knows Jeeps like I do probably isn't concerned about mileage anyway, just about anything on this Jeep could be repaired/replaced for $500 or less. Engine has approximately 25k miles on it after the rebuild.

Bottom line, this Jeep is great and will make someone a very nice rig. Could be used as a weekend vehicle or a daily driver. My Jeep mechanic told me I should list it at $12k, I'm just not that attached to it and I want someone to get a nice Jeep at a good price. I've had it parked near my house for the few weeks and have had a significant amount of phone calls, I'm just not willing to give it away. Willing to take any photos necessary, just send me an email request and include the areas you would like to see. This is obviously an as-is sale and there is no warranty available. Thanks for bidding.

Winter storm got you down? Try snowboarding through Manhattan

Tue, Jan 26 2016

Two filmmakers decided to make the best of this weekend's historic snowstorm by turning New York City into a winter sports enthusiast's wonderland. Popular YouTube based filmmakers Casey Neistat and Jesse Wellens uploaded this video of Neistat snowboarding through the empty streets of Manhattan yesterday. While officials were warning motorists to avoid driving in the blizzard, Neistat and his buddy were being pulled by a Jeep Wrangler through Times Square. It goes without saying that this stunt is suicidally dangerous. There are several moments in the video where Neistat gets pretty close to wiping out on the back of parked, snow covered cars or on the cornerstones of buildings. All to the soundtrack of Frank Sinatra's New York, New York, no less. The police do make a cameo, but NY's finest admit to merely wanting to watch the escapades. "Someone complained about you, so we're going to act like we're talking to you," the unnamed officer can be heard saying on video. The original video has since gone viral, and currently stands at over 6.2 million views in just 24 hours. Despite the virality of their tricks, please do not attempt this in your own snowbound metropolis.

Jeep Wrangler gets the wide-track treatment

Mon, 07 Jan 2013

When we read the tip about a Gulf-state diplomat in Rabat, Morocco who had supposedly "merged two Jeep Wranglers," we figured the two off-roaders were somehow linked front-to-back. Oh no. As you can see in the image above, taken from video of that vehicle actually traveling down the road and needing more than one lane to do it, the two Jeeps were put together side-by-side.
The seriously widebody truck is said to have six wheels, one at each corner and two in the middle. That's about all anyone seems to know about it at the moment, and that's probably enough - in these situations you know better than to ask why, just watch the video below.

Auto critic calls out Corvette, Mustang and Cherokee faithful

Mon, 26 Aug 2013

Most automotive purists fear change, but not without reason. Change, after all, did kill big-block V8s, along with most station wagons and manual transmissions. But change has also brought with it far more performance, safety and fuel economy - not to mention ridding the world of shag carpet interiors, bias-ply tires and those horrible motorized seatbelts of the early '90s.
By this time next year, the Chevy Corvette, Jeep Cherokee and next-generation Ford Mustang will all be on sale and will all, in some way, have angered or offended purists. To those critics, Mark Phelan of the Detroit Free Press is preemptively telling them to stop complaining - at least until they've all been driven. From the Corvette's square taillights and the Cherokee's radical nose to whatever pony car purists will harp on the 2015 Mustang for, Phelan's column points out the positives of automotive evolution and the negatives of staying the course for too long. That's fair enough, but do you think Phelan is on point, or all wet? Head on over to the Detroit Free Press to read his words, then have your say in Comments.
