Up for auction is my 1983 Jeep scrambler CJ-8. It has the original 4.2L 258 engine that has 149892 miles on it. It also has the T5 5 speed manual trans in it too. Vehicle runs and drives but it runs rough and needs a tune-up. I bought this jeep with the intention of making a custom jeep for myself. Due to some family related things I need to sell it. It will have a low reserve and I have the title in my hand ready to go. This jeep is being sold as is with no warranty expressed, implied or given. Jeep scramblers are rare and this one isn't perfect but it's a canvas for a jeepers imagination. The jeep includes the factory half hard top and the back window has no cracks in it. It also includes original jeep bimini top and half soft top (both are black in color). The half soft top has the hardware but one of the supports is bent. The previous owner replaced the windshield frame but forgot to put back on the channel on top for the soft tops. The windshield has 2 cracks in it. the wiper motor works but the wipers are not hooked up to the jeep. All the interior lights work along with all the gauges too. The headlight indicator above the headlight switch is the only one that doesnt work. The body has plenty of solid panels on it and plenty or areas that need attention too. The frame is rusty but it's solid and can be used in my opinion. The jeep has 3 new tires on it and the fourth has about 1 season left in it. The hubs lock and unlock with no issue at all. The original bed is gone and the previous owner put down steel to make it work as you can see in the pics. The passenger seat is in great shape but the drivers seat has seen better days. The horn does not work. There's a lot of potential in this jeep. the floor is solid but does have rust and some holes in it too. Tube steps are solid too. Below is a list of things included with the jeep.

new front leaf springs

factory half hard top

original jeep half soft top and bimini top

full bestop soft doors (tan in color)

full steel hard doors (locks and windows work)

2 generic seat covers (brand new)

2 haynes jeep manuals

original air cleaner assembly (no filter but could be useable?)

wiper linkage and wiper arms

The jeep is being sold with a low reserve and if the reserve is not met I reserve the right to sell to the closest bidder. The jeep is for sale locally too and I reserve the right to end the auction early if the jeep sells locally. The jeep is being sold with no warranty implied, expressed, or given. Any questions please feel free to ask. The vehicle is located in Chicago and can be seen in person if you're in Chicago. Please just message me.

Thank you for looking and happy bidding. Any questions please feel free to ask. Thanks

Autoblog fan favorite car ads from Super Bowl XLIX

Mon, Feb 2 2015

Super Bowl XLIX is in the books, and the New England Patriots emerged victorious. Of course, if you're like us, the big game wasn't so much about the battle between the east coast and west, so much as a fight between the world's automotive advertisers. We collected and collated all of last night's new ads and put them together for you to vote on. And yes, we're limiting this year's contest to last night's new features. That's why you aren't seeing Dodge's epic Wisdom among our collection of commercials, and it's a similar story with Chevrolet's Truck Guy Focus Group series, which highlights the new Colorado. You can still vote for your favorites. We won't be closing the voting on our Super Bowl page, so while the winners and losers are correct as of this writing, it's entirely possible that there could be some changes in the rankings as time goes on. So, without any further ado, here are the winning ads based on your voting. Nissan: With Dad Fiat: Ready For Action Jeep: Beautiful Lands BMW: Newfangled Idea Mercedes-Benz: Fable NASCAR: America Start Your Engines As for those ads that failed to impact you, loyal readers, Toyota was the absolute, undisputed loser. The Japanese brand ran four ads in total – two for Toyota and two for Lexus Â– and all of them have negative tallies as of this writing. Lexus' Make Some Noise and Lets Play and Toyota's One Bold Choice and My Bold Dad both had very weak showings among the commercials that aired, although they weren't alone. Neither Mazda nor Kia scored particularly well, despite featuring celebrity magic act Penn and Teller and former James Bond, Pierce Brosnan, respectively. Chevrolet was the winner of the losers, as of our writing, recording the fewest downvotes for its audience-punking The Big Game ad. If you want to take a second look at the losing ads, you can head back to our Super Bowl page for the complete collection. But for now, head into Comments and let us know what you think of the results.

Jeep Wrangler Polar is a tasty frozen treat

Wed, 11 Sep 2013

Perhaps it's because we've seen so many kitted-out examples over the years, but it seems to us that the Jeep Wrangler tends to wear its special-edition duds better than most models. It might be the icon's familiar rectilinear proportions or the inherent bolt-on look of its extremities - bumpers, mirrors, lighting, and step rails - but we've seen precious few factory specials that look anything but excellent.
Case in point: this new Jeep Wrangler Polar unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show. This European-market limited-edition model is said to be a celebration of winter driving, which evidently works out to a body-color hardtop, black-accent seven-slot grille, 18-inch gloss black wheels, Trac-Lok limited-slip differential and a hard hat for the spare tire. Finished here in Hydro Blue (Billet Silver Metallic and Bright White are also available) and a black interior with Polar White accents, the Polar edition features badges displaying 78° S and 106° E longitude and latitude coordinates for Vostok, Antarctica.
This new Jeep will be available in both standard and Unlimited formats with either the 3.6-liter Pentastar gas engine or the still-not-for-US 2.8-liter turbodiesel when it bows early next year. For further details, check out our gallery above and the press release below.

Watch a Cayenne Turbo S, Range Rover SVR, and Cherokee SRT drag race

Thu, Mar 17 2016

We live in a weird world where high-performance SUVs could win a 60-mile-per-hour sprint against sports cars from just a few years ago. Here, Top Gear sets up a three-way drag race against the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S, Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR, and Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT, and the results show just how quickly these high-riding models can cross the quarter mile. The Cherokee SRT is the patriotic choice among the three, but it's down on power in this fight. Meanwhile, the Range Rover's menacing growl sounds the best, and the Cayenne Turbo S has the most horsepower. You'll have to watch the video to see which SUV will win this battle. Related Video:
