Up for auction is my beautiful 1985 CJ7 Jeep. I bought this jeep from the original owner in 2008. Since then it has had a frame off restoration that was completed in August 2012. Before I bought it it had sat behind a barn since 1991 yes 1991. So this jeep was only on the road for 7 years of its life up to now. The frame is original and in excellent shape with no patch work. I did have to weld 2 body mounts on it. You can eat off the frame and I do wash it. The vin is stamped on it and it does match tag. It is done in oil based gloss black Rustoleum Paint. The motor was installed by previous owner. I just made it pretty . It is a 1979 Wagoneer 360ci and it rips. It has a 4 speed tranny with granny low in 4WD. I do not use 1ST around town. It has 373 gearing. It has an aluminum Edelbrock intake with an Edelbrock carb. It has 35 inch tires with an axle over lift. New headers and true cj side pipe exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers. Sounds very nice. As for the body it is fiberglass with no stress cracks. The rest of the body componants are metal. The paint on this rig is from a 2012 GMC Truck it is Stealth Grey Metallic. Funny name because I see a blue jeep. The paint work is of excellent quality and is deep. The front seats are out of a Jeep Grand Cherokee, the rear is the original. I do not have a hard top because the jeep sits in my garage with no top or doors.I do have a brand new set of soft half doors and soft uppers made by Bestop. I have only driven 600 miles since resto. The body has no drill holes for top or doors I wanted to keep it clean. The oil gauge never got hooked up I dont know why it just didnt at the time, but everything else is and works fine. So if your looking for an extremely nice jeep CJ7 that you can wash the frame on heres the one. It has front and rear custom built bumpers the front has a winch plate already. I never even took it 4 wheeling, but it works great. The leaf springs are still original. This is a no reserve auction.

Federal investigations about safety of rear-mounted gas tanks is nothing new
Sun, 09 Jun 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Chrysler are currently making waves in our daily news feeds due to a disagreement over the safety of a few million Jeep Liberty and Grand Cherokee models. Specifically, NHTSA has asked Chrysler to recall the SUVs because of the location of their fuel tanks, but you may be interested to know that requests such as this are nothing new.
Besides the two Jeep models, NHTSA has launched investigations over the years in such models as the Ford Crown Victoria (and its police-car counterpart), GM pickups built between 1972 and 1987, and rather famously the Ford Pinto.
Understanding how automakers and NHTSA have dealt with fuel-tank-safety concerns in the past may offer a better understanding of how Chrysler and the government agency will settle their current dispute. Check out the complete article from The Detroit News here.
Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards
Tue, 27 Nov 2012Kelley 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:
Jeep's new Chip Away commercial has us hunting Al Pacino's back catalog
Tue, 19 Feb 2013Chrysler has done a pretty good job as of late turning its television commercials into pep talks or rallying cries, but for its first ad for the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee, it turned to Al Pacino's inspirational speech from the movie Any Given Sunday. In the movie, Pacino's character talks about how football is a game of inches, but the commercial, titled Chip Away, focuses more on the attention to detail that Jeep has exhibited on its updated flagship SUV.
Centering around the newest Grand Cherokee model, the luxurious $47,995 Summit trim level, the commercial shows off some of the hand-stitched leathers and real metal and wood accents found inside the cabin. Check out the new 60-second spot by scrolling below.
