1985 Jeep CJ7 Renegade 79k Original Miles

This Jeep CJ7 is a beautiful classic that gets a lot of attention when driving around town.  Yesterday I drove it to the mountains twice, once without the hardtop and once with it.  The Jeep drives great, no vibrations or shimmy and has no problems keeping up with traffic in town, on the highway or in the mountains. 

Engine:
258 4.2L 6cylinder motor that runs great, is very peppy and runs good.  Overall the motor runs great, I don't notice any leaks on the ground after driving and it does not smoke.  The carburetor needs some adjustment.  When driving the rpms are a little high at stop signs almost as if the choke is not opening.  The Valve cover gasket has the classic leak and the exhaust muffler/tail pipe could use replacing.

Transmission/Transfer Case:
5spd T5 Manual Transmission that shifts perfect, no play in the transmission and no grinding or crunching.  The Clutch is very tight and does not slip.  The transfer case shifts easily in and out of 4x4.  It is a Dana 300. 

Drivetrain/suspension:
The Jeep drives excellent and has that soft tight stock suspension.  There aren't any loud clunks or noises, it is very smooth.  The drivetrain and suspension are completely stock.  The power steering is super sensitive and the power brakes stop the jeep easily. 

Interior Controls/Switches:
Everything in the interior works including the gauges, speedometer, odometer, wipers, blinkers, horn, cig lighter and heater.  The heater cranks and blows hot.

Paint/Body/Rust:
The paint is Garnet Red Exterior with Renegade Striping.  It appears that at one point it had been resprayed and the renegade decals were not installed at that point. The front driver fender needs fixing or replacement.  The paint is beautiful and very reflective, shiny and lots of luster.  The front grill/fenders and windshield frame have many sand chips.  The body has rust spots on both rear quarters, both are a little larger then a silver dollar and there are a couple small blister spots under the decals.  The body mounts are all very solid and not rusted thru.  Overall very clean, the rear of the jeep does not show any rust near the tailgate or body mounts.

Interior:
The interior is beautiful, the Garnet Red interior is in excellent shape.  The seats are incredibly clean and do not have any significant rips, tears or seem separations.  The rear seat on the top has some small cuts.  The carpet is in excellent condition, very clean without any stains or rips/tears.  The drivers side floor under the carpet is rusted thru and will need to be cut out and a new floor installed or covered up.  The interior paint is in great condition otherwise.  The dash pad does have a few cuts in it too.  The radio works and has the stock speakers behind the dash.

Hardtop/Doors:
The black hardtop has not been refinished and is the original.  It is in great shape and could use a fresh coat of paint at some point.  The doors do not have any rust, the windows roll up and down very easily and the locks work from the inside.  Unfortunately I do not have a key for the doors, it disappeared.  The wing windows open and close with ease and the seal tight.  

Overall:
This is a beautiful Jeep and ready to go.  With a little bit of TLC you could have a rare classic to enjoy for many years to come.  The CJ7 is used and 29 years old it may have blemishes I didn't capture on my camera.  I do my best to illustrate the condition, I may have missed something so be sure to ask all questions you have prior to bidding or winning the Jeep.  The Jeep is being sold as is, where is, without warranty or guarantees.  I am not required for your state emission or safety inspections including Colorado.

Shipping:
If you are out of state and need to have this Jeep shipped, call M&E Auto Transport #606-354-3643.  Michael is great to work with and offers competitive pricing, quick pickup and delivery.  He has helped me on a couple cars I have bought as well as sold and shipped.

Conclusion:
A $500 non refundable deposit is due within 24 hours of the conclusion of the auction via paypal.  All sales are final.  The final payment must be received within 7 days of auction end time.  Payment options include cash upon pickup, Electronic Bank Transfer or Wire Transfer.  I have sold multiple cars on ebay and can provide references if necessary.  I reserve the right to remove the auction at anytime as this Jeep is listed for sale locally as well.

If you have any questions or would like to buy this Jeep before someone else, please feel free to calling or texting me anytime - #720-295-3372

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:

Fiat Centro Stile sells design sketches to support kids in Italy

Sun, Jun 21 2020

Fiat's Centro Stile design studio in Europe has kicked off a project called stART Again to support the global charity Save the Children. The studio put 136 high-resolution sketches of Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Fiat Professional, Jeep, and Lancia vehicles for download online at just ˆ20 a pop — about $22. The proceeds from all sales will be donated to a charity founded in England 101 years ago "to improve the lives of children through better education, health care, and economic opportunities, as well as providing emergency aid in natural disasters, war, and other conflicts." Save the Children will use the funds to provide supplies, teaching materials, and support for studies for more than 100,000 children in the most disadvantaged areas of Italy who have been additionally harmed by the coronavirus and its effects. There are a heap of knockout drawings available. The selection at the Alfa Romeo store ranges from a 1958 Alfetta 158 racer to the coming Giulia GTA, classics in between including the immortal GTV 6 and the left-field 75 1.8 Turbo TCC racer. The Fiat marketplace contains wares from Abarth, Fiat, and Fiat Professional, with a massive emphasis on the new 500, but the hardcore 1972 Abarth 124 Spyder and oddball 900E van get slots in there (the 900E looks like a Volkswagen Vanagon, but the 900E came first). The Jeep shop is all business and big tires, save for the 1942 Willys MB, but someone needs to take the 1956 Jeep Forward Control sketch off the page and into reality. And the Lancia store has more to offer than the Stratos and Delta Integrale, an ominous Aurelia B20 GT and a Fulvia GT part of the five-model lineup. For some reason, Maserati got left out of the graphic bonanza, as did Ram, Dodge, and Chrysler, which is a shame. That still leaves 136 good reasons to click through and help the kiddies.

Stellantis and Foxconn's new joint venture will focus on connectivity

Wed, May 19 2021

MILAN — Carmaker Stellantis and TaiwanÂ’s Foxconn announced plans to develop a jointly operated automotive supplier focusing on technology to make vehicles more connected, including artificial intelligence-based applications and 5G communications. Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares said the services that will be developed through the tie-up “will mark the next great evolution of our industry,” alongside fully electrified and hybrid powertrains. The deal brings together Stellantis, the worldÂ’s 4th-largest automaker formed this year by the merger of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and PSA Peugeot, and Foxconn, a major supplier of iPhones. The companies said the venture would focus on such services as infotainment, the integration of telecommunications and computer systems, artificial intelligence-based applications, 5G communications, e-commerce channels and smart cockpit integration. The companies announced a non-binding memorandum of understanding to form a 50-50 joint venture called Mobile Drive, which will be based in the Netherlands and function as an automotive supplier also to other carmakers. The new venture will combine advanced consumer electronics, Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI) to create new services “that will exceed customer expectations,” the companies said in a release. “Customers today and, in the future, demand and expect ever-increasing software-driven and creative solutions to connect the drivers and passengers with the vehicle inside and out,Â’Â’ Foxconn Chairman Young Liu.
