Franktown, Colorado, United States
This is a very nice original 1982 jeep cj7 renegade with its renegade name removed probably after it was new. All the stripes are still the original 1982 factory applied stripes. I just bought a polaris rzr, and have decided that may be what I would rather put my money in. This jeep should be left the way it is and preserved. I was going to get the factory renegade decals in the exact color from Phoenix graphics. They sell it only for $85.00.
Body: the body is really very straight.. Starting to bubble up on the exterior in a few places, but amazingly great condition for being a 32 year old off road vehicle. Still has all the factory stripes minus the renegade decal on hood. Factory hardtop with doors. Tailgate opens and shuts nice, as does rear hatch, with twist handle holding it tight. The rear windows have the factory tint. Hood shuts nice and tight, with no crease as do most from hitting roof. The drivers side floor has rust as shown, no patch panels, diamond plating, bondo ect. What you see is a rare unrestored original. This would be really nice to keep it his way, but also and easy restoration jeep, or just drive it as a jeep should be...still has rare factory jack and lug wrench on inner fender, usually missing..I do not have the key for the doors or rear hatch, bug should be very easy to Get at a locksmith. Also included is a box of new bushings, as some have been installed already. Interior: The front seats have been covered at sometime, rear seat looks pretty nice still. Factory carpet has been removed, and is still in great shape. Just over the years the guy must have had snow on his shoes and soaked under the carpet, as most did. There is a small part also on floor behind driver with some rust. Easy repair on both, with all the small patch panels available. Dash is rare uncut original!! No radio. All the gauges work except the fuel gauge, may be a sending unit? 4wd light comes on on the dash still. Still has factory console. Tilt power steering horn works. Drivetrain This has the great 258 6 cylinder, coupled with the optional 5 speed for 1982. 4wd works great in both high and low,along with he factory lock out hubs. Running on the rare optional chrome factory jeep wheels, usually reserved for the laredos. Brand new less than 350 miles, firestone 30x9.50x15 much tires at a cost of almost $900 for 5 all on factory jeep wheels. The smog pump was taken off, but included as shown. The cat is still on the jeep. Another rare thing is usually when people took these off they almost always trashed them. I believe this jeep had either factory a/c or dealer installed a/c. Includes the rare jeep a/c unit, but don't have compressor. Gone alternator has gone a/c bracket still mounted on top. What another super rare accessory. Jeep runs great, goes down the highway smooth, no pulls. Tires don't sing much. Rear axle code shows this to be a 3:31. Jeep was bought new here in denver at kearns jeep, still attached. 1982 was the 1st year for the wide trac axles, another desirable addition. This jeep is really a amazing survivor, with rare options as a 5 speed, a/c, tilt wheel, renegade package, factory chrome wheels, hard top.. I have a clear colorado title, and vehicle Is stored inside a building. I can store it for the winning bidder for 1 month free, then $75.00 per month after. I will include a buy it now, but once the low reserve is met it will go away. Check my feedback, as I tend to describe to much, but have never had anyone upset about that!! Look at some of the others for sale with 2-3 line descriptions or painted, or the wonderful diamond plating to cover the rust. You will know exactly what your buying...please email with any questions. |

FCA recalling 400k Jeep Wranglers, 40k Fiat 500s
Thu, May 19 2016The Basics: Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has issued two recall. The first is for 392,464 Jeep Wranglers in the US from the 2007-2010 model years for the steering wheel airbags. The second covers 39,217 examples of the naturally aspirated 2012-2016 Fiat 500 in connection with the clutch release mechanism. The Problem: In the Wranglers' steering wheel, excessive accumulation of dust and dirt from open-air driving off-road could compromise the clockspring in the steering-wheel assembly and prevent the airbag from deploying in the event of a crash. In the case of the Fiats, the clutch travel in a small percentage of vehicles equipped with manual transmissions "may exceed design parameters" and eventually damage components. Injuries/Deaths: No injuries or accidents been reported to result from either issue. The fix: Dealers will install new back covers and column shrouds in the Jeeps and upgrade the clutch release systems in the 500s. If you own one: Expect to hear from the manufacturer to arrange service. In the case of the Fiat recall particularly, FCA "urges customers to heed the instructions on their recall notices." Related Video: Statement: Clockspring May 18, 2016 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is voluntarily recalling an estimated 392,464 older-model SUVs in the U.S. to replace their clockspring assemblies and related components. Located in a vehicle's steering wheel, a clockspring forms part of the circuit that helps control airbag function. An investigation by FCA US determined excessive exposure to dust and dirt – consistent with extensive off-road driving or driving with a vehicle's top and/or doors removed – may compromise the clockspring and eventually prevent driver-side airbag deployment in a crash. If this condition is present, the airbag warning-lamp will be illuminated. If such an event occurs, customers are advised to contact their dealers. The Company is unaware any potentially related injuries or accidents. Affected by this campaign are model-year 2007-2010 Jeep Wrangler SUVs. An additional 7,435 model-year 2011-2016 vehicles equipped with right-hand drive for special duty also are affected in the U.S. Vehicles affected outside the U.S. comprise an estimated 35,412 in Canada; 8,529 in Mexico and 62,580 outside the NAFTA region. Customers will be advised when they may schedule service, which includes installation of a new steering-wheel back cover and a steering-column shroud.
GMC wants to target Jeep with compact crossover
Mon, Dec 14 2015GMC execs might consider adding a Jeep competitor to the range, but rather than new rumors of a Wrangler-fighter, this time the Professional Grade brand could go after the Renegade. Division boss Duncan Aldred would like to broaden the brand's lineup with a subcompact crossover. "I keep telling everyone, 'How can General Motors' truck brand not be in the fastest-growing segment in the industry, an SUV segment," he said to Automotive News but wouldn't confirm whether the model was under development. General Motors already offers small crossovers like the Chevrolet Trax and Buick Encore, but the CUV segment in general continues to drive auto sales in the US. Adding a similarly sized GMC to the mix might increase the automaker's volume by appealing to different customers. "A GMC buyer is very different from a Buick buyer. This is like comparing the Fiat 500X to the Jeep Renegade. They are very similar but appeal to different people," Dave Sullivan, Product Analysis Manager at AutoPacific, told Autoblog. Aldred started the speculation about a Wrangler-fighting model in an interview in late 2014, and the company reportedly even raised the idea of an offroad-focused vehicle to dealers to see how they reacted. The development process was only in the very early planning stages, but the brand considered using Hummer for a little of the new product's inspiration. Aldred later suggested to journalists the possibility of adding a compact or midsize SUV to the GMC range in the next 10 years to appeal to more buyers. He didn't comment directly on the possibility of the Wrangler-challenger at the time beyond saying: "I can't confirm that ... everything's on the table." Related Video:
'84 MotorWeek Cherokee, Bronco and Blazer comparison indulges your SUV nostalgia
Fri, Jan 16 2015These days, truck-based, full-frame SUVs are somewhat of a rarity on the auto landscape due to the rapid rise in popularity of easier-driving, car-based crossovers. Although, without the gradually building popularity of these chunky, high-riding vehicles decades ago, it's unlikely that America's roads would be filled with so many CUVs today. In its latest dig into the archives, MotorWeek has found a 1984 comparison test of a trio of these early Sport Utility Wagons, as long-time host John Davis called them, that helped get acceptance of this segment going. This is a red, white and blue test of the SUVs from American automakers at the time and pits the Chevrolet Blazer, Ford Bronco and Jeep Cherokee (specifically in Wagoneer guise) against each other. Driving manners and interior usability are considered in the evaluation, but Motorweek actually takes these vehicles off road, too. Among the bigger revelations is the improvement in on-road ability in the past 30 years. While specific 0-60 times aren't given, all three models take around 10 seconds just to get to around 50 miles per hour in the 500-feet on-ramp acceleration test. Check out this clip to see just how far this segment has progressed in the past three decades or just get a blast of nostalgia from these now vintage models.
