Up for sale is my beautiful 1983 jeep cj8 scrambler. This jeep has spent the last 12 years in sunny California on an avocado farm and grape vineyard. It was rarely used and when it was it was just to putt around and check on crops!.It only has 43,400 miles on it!!!!!

The body and frame are in excellent shape and had almost no rust. I had the body removed and sandblasted to make sure there was nothing hiding underneath the faded paint. While the body was off I cleaned up the frame and undercarriage and checked everything to verify it was in good shape. With such low miles everything seemed to be in great working order and condition.

The jeep is equipped with the factory 258 straight 6 engine with an automatic transmission and a Dana 300 transfer case, all stock. I just recently tuned it up with new spark plugs, spark plug wires, cap, rotor, air filter, fuel filter, fuel pump, and all new fluids. The carburetor was also rebuilt. I flushed the transmission fluid and changed out the filter and strainer filter and replaced the pan with a new gasket! The differentials are the Dana 30 up front and model 20 rear, both with new chrome diff covers and new oil. Breaks are in good shape and stops nicely.

The body I had painted inside, underneath and outside with 3 coats of black and 3 coats of clear. I then had the bed only lined for durability and protection. The body was put back on with new body mounts and bolts, and received a wet sand and buff job to give the paint a great mirror finish!! I then had factory scrambler Laredo decals put on to really finish it off with that classic scrambler look we all love!

The interior has new front seats and a great condition factory back seat, with some charcoal gray carpet. The jeep was put back together with brand new stainless steel hinges and hardware. New tail lights and front marker lights were installed as the old ones were faded and oxidized. I also just put in a new windshield.

All in all the jeep was finished and it now looks great and drives really great. It is very smooth when it takes off, the automatic shifts nicely and quietly. It tracks down the road very well and handles all the bumps with ease. It is the perfect Sunday cruiser or show car or beach jeep or whatever you want it to be. Every time I get in and drive it puts a smile on my face, and I constantly get compliments anywhere I go!!! The blinkers and gauges all work with the exception of the gas gauge but I am trying to work on that. The 2 things that I was unable to get to that I would replace is the center console top pad is faded ripped from being in the sun, and the front bumper has 2 small dents in it. Other than that I would say that the jeep is in very excellent condition and it truly drives like it did when it was new. You can tell it has low miles just by the way it feels and drives, so smooth.!!

This jeep has had a ton of time and money put into it and it was already a really nice jeep to start out with so it has received great care throughout its whole life. Please bid with confidence and you will not be disappointed with you're purchase!! It is a true classic jeep and it looks, feels, and drives like one. It will last many years to come if shown the same respect it already has! Thanks for looking and Happy Bidding!!!

I am happy to help with shipping I have a friend that moves cars and deals with shippers.

Please only bid if you have the money and are ready to pay, I am great to deal with and will get you you're jeep quick. Thanks!

Jeep gunning for 1M sales this year

Thu, 16 Jan 2014

Jeep CEO Mike Manley would rather soft-pedal the seven-figure prognostication for now, but Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne won't have it, proclaiming in an interview that Jeep will sell one million units worldwide this year. Manley has called that come-hither number "a stretch," the history of recent gains perhaps reason for his caution: in 2011 the brand sold 568,317 units, followed by the record-breaking tally of 701,626, then another record in 2013 with 731,565 units moved.
That kind of gap means everything will need to go magically for Jeep to record a 37-percent increase this year - amazing Cherokee sales, a brilliant launch for the little Jeep arriving in Europe later this year and a heavy wave to raise sales in US, European and Chinese markets. Manley is confident about the prospects in 2015, though, with the Cherokee in full stride, the Fiat-based Jeep on its way to the US and expanded global production. It's not as though Marchionne's prediction for Jeep's 2014 sales is unexpected, since he first made it last year. But even if the number ends up a little short for 2014, there's no doubt it will be impressive.

Chrysler's Woodward Dream Cruise festivities include Ram concept truck debut

Tue, 13 Aug 2013

The streets will be crowded next weekend along Woodward Avenue in Royal Oak, Michigan for the 19th Annual Woodward Dream Cruise. As part of the run-up to the festivities, Chrysler has announced that all of its brands - Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Fiat, SRT and Mopar - will bring along their latest vehicles. Also included will be a collection of classic American cars and various activities for attendees at the official Chrysler location on the corner of Woodward and 13 Mile Road.
Special to this year, Ram brand director Bob Hegbloom and head of design John Dehner will unveil a Ram concept truck on Saturday. Chrysler will also bring Ryan Friedlinghaus of West Coast Customs fame along to show off a few custom Chrysler-made vehicles of his own. Fans of the brand on Facebook will get the chance to virtually customize a vehicle from the automaker's portfolio, with the winner getting their dream car built for them by Chrysler. Pretty cool stuff, no?
As in past years, Ford and General Motors will have an official presence at the event as well, and you can expect to see plenty of cars of all makes and models from all parts of the globe. The madness starts this Friday, August 16, from 4:30 PM to 10 PM, with the main event taking place on Saturday, from 9 AM to 9 PM. For more details on the show, including events and their times, check out the press release below.

Stellantis wants to outfit cars with AI software to drive revenue

Tue, Dec 7 2021

MILAN — Carmaker Stellantis announced a strategy Tuesday to embed AI-enabled software in 34 million vehicles across its 14 brands, hoping the tech upgrade will help it bring in 20 billion euros ($22.6 billion) in annual revenue by 2030. CEO Carlos Tavares heralded the move as part of a strategy that would transform the car company into a “sustainable mobility tech company,” with business growth coming from features and services tied to the internet. That includes using voice commands to activate navigation, make payments and order products online. The company is expanding existing partnerships with BMW on partially automated driving, iPhone manufacturer Foxconn on customized cockpits and Waymo to push their autonomous driving work into light commercial vehicle delivery fleets. StellantisÂ’ embrace of artificial intelligence and expansion of software-enabled vehicles is part of a broad transformation in the auto industry, with a race toward more fully electric and hybrid propulsion systems, more autonomous driving features and increased connectivity in automobiles. Ford and General Motors also are banking on dramatically increased revenue from similar online subscription services. But the automakers face immense competition for monthly consumer spending from movie and music streaming services, news outlets, Amazon Prime and others. Stellantis, which was formed from the combination of PSA Peugeot and FCA Fiat Chrysler, said the software would seamlessly integrate into customers' lives, with the capability of live updates providing upgraded services over time. New products will include the possibility to subscribe to automated driving features, purchase usage-based car insurance or even increase the power of the vehicle with a tune-up to add horsepower. As a baseline, Stellantis generates 400 million euros in revenue on software-generated services installed in 12 million vehicles. To meet the targets, Stellantis will expand its software engineering team of 1,000 to 4,500 in North America, Asia and Europe. More than 1,000 of the expanded team will be retrained in house. Stellantis also announced a new partnership with Foxconn to develop semiconductors to cover 80% of the companyÂ’s needs and simplify the supply chain. The first microchips from the partnership are targeted to be installed in vehicles in 2024.
