I have a Custom 1984 Jeep CJ7 that has been through a frame off restoration that went in stages through the years of 1998-2002 and still looks good today. It has been garage kept every winter and has never seen a rain since I purchased it.  

It was built to be a fun summer cruiser and is a good one at that. It has a rebuilt 304 AMC engine built from scratch. All parts were purchased separately and put together nicely. The block was bored 40 over with some nice new pistons. The crank I had was completely redone as well as the heads. The cam is a Comp Cam with a 292 duration and a 518 lift. It definitely has an amazing sound with the help of a custom dual Flowmaster exhaust coming out the back at an angle. The radiator was brand new at the time of rebuild along with the distributor, Holley Laser shot coil, wires and the aluminum Edelbrock intake. I put a nice aluminum battery tray and aluminum over flow tank in as well.   

It has a T-176 transmission out of another CJ that was rebuilt.

It has a dana 35 front axle and a model 20 rear with the one piece put in for the extra strength and the nice flat hub look. Both axles have great looking aluminum fin hub covers.

You could definitely have a blast taking this off road but I never have. It’s strictly been a nice day cruiser for me.  The lift is a Rancho 2 1/2 in suspension lift with Rancho shocks. It has a nice mild 2in body lift that’s tucked under without being seen along with beefier shackles. 

Tires are 33x12.5 15 TSL Thornbirds with Mickey Thompson 15x10 wheels with 1/2 -3/4 tread left. I do have a full size spare that has never been used. I have a very neat spare tire carrier that actually goes in place of the backseat and is bolted to the floor and holds the spare at an angle like you see in the back of a pickup truck but made for a jeep. It’s still in the box that it came in and the backseat is still in the jeep.  

The interior is basic. It has a full roll cage, aluminum diamond plate dash, an aluminum wiper motor cover, the tub was rhino lined, aluminum diamond plate floor plates where the driver and passenger feet go. In the entry ways there are aluminum diamond plate guards along with custom RCI racing bucket seats with a great locking Tuffy console that houses your radio/cd player. The gauges are the digital ones that look great at night, with the addition of a digital tach as well. There’s a billet Grant steering wheel with a Sony cd player,  JL Audio 6x9 speakers in the pods tucked between the roll cage and rear fender wells and 5 1/4 JL Audio speakers in the dash.   

The body is the original metal tub that required some body work. The fenders and hood are also original. The only body part that isn’t original is the windshield frame. The windshield frame was powdered coated to a nice bright shiny finish. The frame is super clean even before the resto there was no rust as well as the axles are very nice and rust free. The whole under carriage, inside of fender wells and part of the engine compartment are painted black using a thick more durable paint that’s easy to clean and hose off.

It does not have a top or doors just because I have never driven it in weather that required it. The heater was actually taken out just because it was never used. The bumpers are chrome double tube Smittybuilt which look great with the chrome grill, aluminum diamond plate front frame cover and aluminum diamond plate gas tank skid plate. All the hinges are polished stainless steel as well as the gas fill plate and the custom round recessed tail lights. The front bumper has 2 KC 6” round chrome lights with matching colored cover for the jeep. They were put on but never wired up. I have all the wiring and switches to finish the install.  

 

The reason I’m selling it is because it is never driven, it just sits in the garage and with being busy with work and family I really don’t have the time for it. There are two things that need to be done on it and one is the rear brakes. I actually just disconnected them because I was going to put a rear disk brake conversion kit on it that I never got around to doing but the rear brakes are all there, the lines are just pinched off right now and just need to be hooked back up. The other thing is the digital gauges, not sure if they go bad over time, but some seem to come and go at times. The fuel gauge, the volt meter and the water temp are the 3 that have issues. It could be a lose connection over time, just not sure. The miles before the rebuild it was in the low 50’s. After I installed the new gauges, they weren’t recording the millage properly. I only drive it maybe once every 2 months when it’s nice but I do change the oil every year even though it really doesn’t need it. It’s a great jeep and very fun to drive, thanks for looking.

Buyers ditching expensive European sedans to buy expensive American trucks

Mon, Feb 19 2018

The New York Times ended the automotive week with a story that adds numbers and context to a range of other stories, from the crossover craze to the increasing median price of a new car to ever more grandiose pickup trucks. The NYT piece reveals that the shift to larger vehicles isn't merely about the average U.S. buyer swapping the midsize sedan for a Ford Edge. Luxury buyers are migrating from plush sedans to plush SUVs and trucks that creep close to six-figure prices, and the Detroit Three are running Treasury presses because of it. From 2013 to 2017, the truck category — everything from pickups to minivans — climbed from 30 percent of the market to 41 percent. In January of this year, trucks claimed 66 percent of new vehicle sales. At the milk-and-honey end of profits, GMC alone accounted for 11.3 percent of all vehicle sales over $60,000, not just trucks. That puts the luxury truck maker behind Mercedes-Benz and Ford, The Blue Oval's feasting on Lariat, King Ranch and Raptor versions of the F-150, which make up more than half of that pickup's sales, putting it ahead of Chevrolet, Porsche and Lexus on the high-dollar sales list. The average transaction price of a GMC in Denali trim last year was $56,000; it's easy to see why, when one dealer told the NYT he just swapped a 2012 BMW 550i for a $71,000 GMC Sierra Denali. That truck starts at $52,900. The NYT started its story with a buyer who took home a Ford Raptor instead of an Audi A6, and optioned that $50,020 Ford Raptor close to $80,000. Over at Lincoln, the new $72,055 Navigator — the one so popular that Ford will increase production — crossed hands for an average sale price of $77,000 in January. And a Jeep dealer told the NYT that the two $93,000 Trackhawks he had on his lot "won't be here more than a few weeks." While trucks head up in sales volume and price, cars are headed so viciously in the opposite direction that "the Detroit Three and even some foreign manufacturers acknowledge they are now losing money on many of the cars they sell." So ... get ready for a lot more crossovers and trucks. Related Video: Find out what vehicle is right for you. Give our Car Finder tool a try.

Who are Mike Manley, Louis Camilleri, and Suzanne Heywood?

Sun, Jul 22 2018

MILAN – Fiat Chrysler aid on Saturday that boss Sergio Marchionne, 66, would not be returning to work because he was gravely ill. In addition to being FCA chief executive, Marchionne was also CEO and chairman of luxury sports car brand Ferrari and chairman of truck and tractor maker CNH Industrial, which were spun off from FCA in recent years. Following is a brief summary on the executives who have been appointed to replace him in the various roles: MIKE MANLEY The 54-year-old Briton picked to become the FCA's new CEO has been leading the group's top brand Jeep since 2009, first as Jeep President and CEO at Chrysler and then as FCA's Jeep head. In 2015 he was also appointed head of the Ram brand. Under his tenure, Jeep turned into a global brand becoming, together with Ram, FCA's profit engine. Jeep sold nearly 1.4 million cars last year compared with less than 338,000 in 2009. Manley had worked as DaimlerChrysler's head of network development in Britain since 2000, having earlier worked for several years in car dealership. At Chrysler, he headed product planning and all sales activities outside of North America and then became the group's chief operating officer for Asia and the lead executive for the international activities outside of NAFTA. LOUIS CAMILLERI The new Ferrari CEO was already a board member at the luxury sportscar maker before his latest appointment. He is also the chairman of Philip Morris International, where he also held the job of CEO from 2008 to 2013. Born in 1955, Camilleri had joined Altria Group, which controls Philip Morris, in 1978 holding various positions until he became chief financial officer in 1996 and then CEO in 2002. Camilleri was also chairman of Kraft Foods from 2002 to 2007. Malta's Prime Minister Joseph Muscat wished Camilleri luck on Twitter saying he was proud to have "a bit of Malta in Ferrari" thanks to the new CEO, who was born in Egypt to Maltese parents. SUZANNE HEYWOOD The new, British-born chairwoman of CNH Industrial has been since 2016 the managing director of EXOR, the holding company through which the Agnelli family controls FCA. Heywood, 49, started her career at the British Treasury and then joined McKinsey in 1997, leading for many years the consultancy firm's global service line on organization design. She eventually became a senior partner there. Heywood sits on the board of The Economist, which is controlled by EXOR, and the board of the Royal Opera House, where she is also deputy chair.
