1981 Jeep CJ7- For sale is a really cool jeep cj with 167k miles on it...has the rock solid straight six cylinder 4.2 liter engine with the 4 speed manual transmission. This Jeep was one family owned for 32yrs and is all original. Has the hard top and full hard doors. Only thing that is not stock is couple year old baja wheels and 31 inch pro Comp off road tires...newer best top front seats...also has after market front and rear bumpers. Runs and drives really good (heater works awesome) but does have the typically underbody and tub rust....rusted thru spots on quarters, rear of jeep and driver floor board. This Jeep has not been cut up, patched or diamond plated over like most unrestored jeeps of this age. Had $600 worth of brake work done less then year ago (pads drums, master cylinder etc) and tires/ wheels less than 2 years old with 75% tread life (rims and tires $1500). This is a great old jeep in the original Copper Autumn color that you could either leave as is and have fun with or restore over time!! I took a ton of pictures so make sure you know what you are buying again this Jeep is all original but does have the rust issue you see in pics. Here is the list of the other issues with Jeep- does have a tendency to pop out of 2nd gear if you don't keep you hand on shifter...doesnt do it going down the road put when you are down shifting (mechanic I took to says it is syncronizer rings but suggested not to replace until it needs a new clutch) not a concern for me so didn't fix. The gas gauge does not work (again had looked at and said sending unit for gas needs to be replaced. Also the E-brake line needs to be replaced, cheap fix just didnt didnt do it because I don't use it. This all are common issues with this older jeeps and pretty inexpensive fixes. This Jeep fires right up very easy and is truely a solid old jeep. I will be posting a You-Tube clip of going thru jeep, starting cold, driving, shifting etc so will give you some more peace of mind with this auction. Please feel free to shoot me any messages that you may have with this jeep.

This American Life spends a week selling Jeeps in Long Island
Thu, 19 Dec 2013So you think you know car dealers? Well, maybe you do, but This American Life spent a month at Town and Country Jeep Chrysler Doge Ram in Long Island to give us a behind-the-scenes look (or listen, since it's a radio program) at what it's like to be a car dealer.
Yes, there's a lot of swearing in thick New York accents, frustration, confusion, and generally it's a madhouse at the dealership. But that's understandable when the sales staff has to sell 129 vehicles in October in order to get an $85,000 manufacturer bonus - with several other Jeep dealerships within a 10-mile radius.
The episode, 129 Cars, is worth a listen, but make sure you have 71 minutes to spare if you want to get through it in one sitting. Head here for the unedited version or here for the bleeped version (which is 58 minutes long).
Federal investigations about safety of rear-mounted gas tanks is nothing new
Sun, 09 Jun 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Chrysler are currently making waves in our daily news feeds due to a disagreement over the safety of a few million Jeep Liberty and Grand Cherokee models. Specifically, NHTSA has asked Chrysler to recall the SUVs because of the location of their fuel tanks, but you may be interested to know that requests such as this are nothing new.
Besides the two Jeep models, NHTSA has launched investigations over the years in such models as the Ford Crown Victoria (and its police-car counterpart), GM pickups built between 1972 and 1987, and rather famously the Ford Pinto.
Understanding how automakers and NHTSA have dealt with fuel-tank-safety concerns in the past may offer a better understanding of how Chrysler and the government agency will settle their current dispute. Check out the complete article from The Detroit News here.
Chrysler investing $20M in Toledo plant to support 9-speed auto production
Sun, 28 Apr 2013In 2011, Chrysler announced a $72-million investment in its Toledo Machining Plant to modernize production of the eight- and nine-speed torque-converters for automatic transmissions made there. That upgrade work won't be finished until Q3 of this year, but Chrysler has already announced a further $19.6-million investment to increase production capacity for the nine-speeders.
The extra units will be necessary because the nine-speed transmission they'll be mated to is going into three popular models: it will debut on the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, then go into the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Dart. The company predicted that this year alone it would sell 200,000 units equipped with the nine-speed tranny, and it is spending some $374 million in addition to the investment in Toledo to upgrade production capacity for it.
The work attached to this new investment won't begin until Q3 of 2014, and it will be finished by the end of that year. There's a press release below with all the details.
