1985 Scrambler Cj8 Frame Off Restoration 6 Yrs Ago Professionally Done. on 2040-cars
Indianapolis, Indiana, United States
This Scrambler has had a frame off restoration 6 years ago by the previous owner in Nashville Tennessee. Comes with the original 4.2, 4 speed (new clutch). Has been upgraded to Howell Throttle Body Injection. I recently put an Old Man Emu suspension lift (3.5")and new Goodyear Duratek 31 x 10.50 offroad tires, stainless steel wheel hubs, rear bumper, side bars and KC lights. Has aftermarket air conditioning. Everything on this Jeep works except for the speedometer. I have a new replacement speedometer cable that goes with. Also the spare tire has been re-located to the bed. The original spare tire carrier will go with the Jeep. Aftermarket Alpine stereo with marine grade speakers.The frame was powdercoated gray and now shows a few very light spots of surfacew rust (see pics). I have recently redone the entire under body coating with POR-15 and it looks great. Overall I would rate this Jeep a 9 out of 10. Gets tons of compliments evereywhere I go. The previous owner had several parts replaces on the motor including intake and exhaust manifolds, alternator and several electronic ignition componets. This does not leak any fluid anywhere. The bed, roll bar and interior floor has been coated with line-ex. The steering is tight and this Jeep rides as smooth as a new one. The previous suspension drove like a log wagon and I spent over $1k for the new one. I have described this vehicle as best I can. Clear title in hand. Only reason for selling is to put a down payment on a new house (wife). Ask if you have any questions. Jeep is for sale locally in Indianapolis, IN, so I reserve the right to end this auction early. I will assist with shipping company if that is what you need. Cash or cleared cashiers check only. |

Jeep leads list of 25 most patriotic brands
Thu, 04 Jul 2013It's not unusual to feel extra patriotic this time of year, what with the Fourth of July being today and all. As if to celebrate, New York-based research firm Brand Keys conducted a study among 4,500 consumers about what brands they find to be the most patriotic. According to the Detroit Free Press, Jeep took top honors in this study, besting other American stalwart brands including Coca-Cola, Levi's and Hershey's.
Interestingly, the only other automotive brand to make the list was Ford, in the 16th spot (motorcycle fans take note - Harley-Davidson claimed the No. 13 slot). This means consumers found Jeep to be more patriotic than any of the brands in the General Motors portfolio, including Chevrolet, which has long used American themes in its advertising over the decades.
According to Brand Keys, Jeep came in "with a score of 98 out of 100 on a scale representing consumers' emotional engagement expectations," the Detroit Free Press reports. Be sure to read the report to scan the entire Top 25 list for yourself.
Stellantis wants to outfit cars with AI software to drive revenue
Tue, Dec 7 2021MILAN — Carmaker Stellantis announced a strategy Tuesday to embed AI-enabled software in 34 million vehicles across its 14 brands, hoping the tech upgrade will help it bring in 20 billion euros ($22.6 billion) in annual revenue by 2030. CEO Carlos Tavares heralded the move as part of a strategy that would transform the car company into a “sustainable mobility tech company,” with business growth coming from features and services tied to the internet. That includes using voice commands to activate navigation, make payments and order products online. The company is expanding existing partnerships with BMW on partially automated driving, iPhone manufacturer Foxconn on customized cockpits and Waymo to push their autonomous driving work into light commercial vehicle delivery fleets. StellantisÂ’ embrace of artificial intelligence and expansion of software-enabled vehicles is part of a broad transformation in the auto industry, with a race toward more fully electric and hybrid propulsion systems, more autonomous driving features and increased connectivity in automobiles. Ford and General Motors also are banking on dramatically increased revenue from similar online subscription services. But the automakers face immense competition for monthly consumer spending from movie and music streaming services, news outlets, Amazon Prime and others. Stellantis, which was formed from the combination of PSA Peugeot and FCA Fiat Chrysler, said the software would seamlessly integrate into customers' lives, with the capability of live updates providing upgraded services over time. New products will include the possibility to subscribe to automated driving features, purchase usage-based car insurance or even increase the power of the vehicle with a tune-up to add horsepower. As a baseline, Stellantis generates 400 million euros in revenue on software-generated services installed in 12 million vehicles. To meet the targets, Stellantis will expand its software engineering team of 1,000 to 4,500 in North America, Asia and Europe. More than 1,000 of the expanded team will be retrained in house. Stellantis also announced a new partnership with Foxconn to develop semiconductors to cover 80% of the companyÂ’s needs and simplify the supply chain. The first microchips from the partnership are targeted to be installed in vehicles in 2024.
