Hey Jeep Lovers - This wonderful CJ7 belonged to my partner Max who passed away in August 2012.  He bought the jeep back in 1984 when he moved out here to California from Kentucky (via NYC) - he was a young, handsome actor (see MAX) - quite the ladies man - and he loved having such a great ride. Take the top down and drive to the beach or put it up and head to the mountains.  Years later I met him, years later, he still had the jeep and he took care of it. But no matter my cajoling, he didn't want to undertake extensive repairs. He would say, "Maybe later."  

Well, cancer happened and "later" became never. He left me with his beautiful beast of a jeep. It suited him in his cutoff jeans and aviator sunglasses. The Kentucky boy gone to sunny Cali. It's made for camping trips to Joshua Tree and driving on the beach in Pismo. It's an adventure all its own and it's got so much life left in it and so many memories to make. I've got to leave that adventuring to you- I am too much of a wimp to drive it; besides I am too short- my feet don’t even reach the pedals!

I decided to fix up the jeep (and boy did I ever!) and sell it to someone who will love it as much as Max did. Now... he’s probably smiling and shaking his head at me from the Great Beyond, since his “baby” got a newly rebuilt engine, fuel injection, Electronic distributor, new insides....and so much more.  

I wish I could’ve rebuilt Max like I’ve done with his Jeep! He was a real keeper. 

Take a good look...You are getting a “new” car in an older, but still pretty darn nice body! I've had this vehicle completely restored so check it out and drive it in great health!

NHTSA still mulling crash tests for recalled Jeeps

Thu, 15 Aug 2013

Well, no one should ever accuse the government of not giving things plenty of thought. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is still debating whether it will retest any of the 1.56 million 1992 to 1998 Grand Cherokees and 2002 to 2007 Libertys that were part of a recall regarding fires after rear-end collisions. And yes, this debate has been going on for over a month. In other news...
The recall dustup started in early June, when Chrysler took the unusual position of refusing a recall request from NHTSA regarding placement of the fuel tank on the effected vehicles. NHTSA said a collision could cause a fire, a position Chrysler took issue with. Extensive negotiations ensued, with Chrysler agreeing to fit certain Jeeps with trailer hitches, which it said would provide some protection to fuel tanks mounted behind the rear axle in the event of a collision.
Part of the issue rests with the amount of data that needs to be processed, according to The Detroit News. NHTSA administrator David Strickland said during a Washington Auto Press Association meeting, "There's a lot of data and Chrysler is being very cooperative in giving us more data." Until that information has been sorted, it looks like re-testing will still be up for debate.

Jeep Wrangler diesel likely after 2015 model refresh

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

We automotive journalists aren't always the right people to ask about whether a US-spec vehicle should or should not be offered with a diesel powertrain (hint: the answer is usually "YES"). But when it comes to the iconic, off-road-ready Jeep Wrangler, we aren't the only ones who have been clamoring for an oil-burning engine behind that famous seven-slat grille. To that end, it appears there's good news on the horizon, as Jeep CEO Mike Manley recently told Ward's Auto that the "Wrangler is on the radar to get (a) diesel."
"I'm confident that the Grand Cherokee will show just how large a demand there is for diesel, and I think what that will do is reinforce the need for us to target Wrangler as a vehicle that can take a diesel," Manley told Ward's. The most rugged of Jeeps is scheduled to get an overhaul around 2015-16, and the diesel powertrain will likely be introduced around that time.
This year alone, Chrysler will be adding a diesel engine to the Grand Cherokee SUV, as well as the Ram 1500 pickup and Promaster utility van.

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards

Tue, 27 Nov 2012

Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
