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!

FCA CEO Mike Manley will run Americas for Stellantis after PSA merger

Sun, Dec 20 2020

DETROIT — Fiat Chrysler CEO Mike Manley will run operations in the Americas when his company merges with FranceÂ’s PSA Peugeot early next year. FCA Chairman John Elkann announced ManleyÂ’s new post on Friday in a letter to employees. ManleyÂ’s role in the merged company had been a mystery. PSA CEO Carlos Tavares will run the overall company, to be named Stellantis. Shareholders of both companies will vote on the merger Jan. 4 to seal the deal creating the worldÂ’s fourth-largest automaker. The merger is expected to be completed by the end of March. PSA will get six seats on the new companyÂ’s 11-member board, which will be chaired by Elkann. The Americas, especially the U.S., are key to the new companyÂ’s success. Fiat ChryslerÂ’s Jeep and Ram brands are highly profitable, and Tavares has long wanted to sell PSA vehicles in the U.S. Manley has been the Italian-American automakerÂ’s CEO for 2 1/2 years, taking over when Sergio Marchionne died in 2018. Stellantis will have the capacity to produce 8.7 million cars a year, just behind Volkswagen, the Renault-Nissan alliance and Toyota.

2017 Jeep Compass debuts with tiny Grand Cherokee looks

Tue, Sep 27 2016

Meet the Jeep Compass. It is, thankfully, completely new and entirely unrelated to the Jeep Compass and Patriot that are on sale now. Bet you almost forgot about that pair. As the new C-Segment SUV in Jeep's lineup, it'll replace both of those models and take a spot in between the Renegade and Cherokee. The new Compass is based on a stretched version of the Renegade platform, what Fiat Chrysler Automotive in a fit of eloquence calls the "Small Wide 4x4" architecture. We expect front-wheel drive as standard and four-wheel drive as a very commonly selected option. The Compass should offer either a 2.0-liter turbo inline-four or a naturally-aspirated 2.4-liter inline-four, both mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission. There's a chance it'll get a manual, but it's a very slim chance. That being said, globally there will be 17 powertrain options, according to FCA, and that may mean US consumers will have more than one choice in the matter. Judging by the first photo above, a an off-road-ready Trailhawk model is a good bet. We've already seen this thing completely uncovered in these spy shots, which were taken in Brazil, where it will be produced, so the overall mini-Grand Cherokee aesthetic isn't a surprise. The interior looks more like the Cherokee's than the Renegade's, however, and you'll notice there's no controversial T-handle shifter in sight. So why didn't we see the new Compass at the New York Auto Show, like everybody expected? Jeep says it's because it wanted the reveal to occur at the plant that's going to build the thing, highlighting the importance of the South and Central American markets for the brand. There will be a North American debut with more information coming at the LA Auto Show in November, so we won't have too long to wait for more details. As originally planned, the Compass should hit American dealerships in early 2017. Featured Gallery 2017 Jeep Compass Revealed in Brazil Jeep Crossover SUV Off-Road Vehicles jeep compass jeep patriot

FCA reportedly joins the crowd skipping this year's Paris Motor Show

Thu, Jun 14 2018

It's likely FCA vehicles will not be seen at the Paris Motor Show this year. Automotive News is reporting that Fiats, Alfa Romeos, Jeeps and Abarths will not be a part at the show, based on information circulating in the French media. There's a possibility that Maseratis will be displayed at a special section dedicated to upscale cars, but Maserati too will not have a show stand of its own. Ferrari will have a stand, but as it happens, the supercar maker has been a standalone brand since 2015. Skipping the Paris show follows FCA's decision not to take part in the Frankfurt show last year, and the two shows alternate as the biggest autumnal automotive show in Europe. Volkswagen will also not attend the event, and neither will Ford, Nissan or Infiniti. This has become a problem for car shows worldwide, including Detroit's North American International Auto Show. FCA has not released a formal statement about the matter, but a FCA spokesman, quoted by the French magazine L'Argus, reportedly said that the sales and publicity brought in by the show stand would not justify the costs of attending. The news mirrors Volvo's newly announced plan to not take part at the next Geneva Motor Show, but to arrange "bespoke activities" to introduce its cars instead. Related Video:
