I bought this 1985 Jeep CJ7 V-6 Automatic in 2010 right here on ebay for $6k.  My daughter used this as a local commuter car to college and work.  She has been out of state for two years and this CJ has only been occasionally driven…it is begging for a new home.  

This jeep is 29 years old and so it needs TLC and a loving new owner to keep it going another 30 years.  The previous owner purchased this Jeep from a local school district in 2007 with 23k miles.  The district used the Jeep around the property and to plow snow hence the low miles.  

The gent I bought the CJ from added a new fiberglass tub, replaced the carb, brakes, rotors, brake lines, seats, wheels, tires, he also replaced the tail lights, the soft top and doors , the re-paint looks good from far but is not great, it has a 4" lift.  He also added a tow bar for pulling behind his motor home (the tow bar is included).  The tub was Rhino lined and there is a heavy duty rear bumper with hitch. We have sunk another $2k plus into the CJ to keep it going.  

Our work included a new muffler, radiator and gas tank (the sending unit should be good but the gauge is not working).  The other gauges are new and the main dash knobs are new.  There is a cheap am/fm stereo with some decent speakers in front/back (an audiophile will want to upgrade the stereo).  I’ll include notes from my ASE mechanic on some of the work done and three jeep books (see picture) the Jeep Owner’s Bible and two editions of the Haynes Jeep CJ Repair Manual.  There is a Meyer 6' plow with power angle that is included but it’s in rough shape and would need patches welded to make it workable (the pictures don’t show how rough it is).  I also need to add some pneumatic fluid to ensure it will raise the plow as it’s not working right now even though the electronics for the plow work. 

Reserve is set lower than my 2010 cost and the car is listed locally.  I will answer questions via ebay and have tried to be very fair with the listing so you know what you are bidding on.  This is an as-is sale with no warrantee stated or implied.

Sunday Drive: Trucks and SUVs of all shapes and sizes

Sun, Nov 5 2017

The American automotive marketplace is dominated by trucks and SUVs, and so was the last week of coverage on Autoblog. By far, the most popular story of the week was our First Drive of the 2018 Lincoln Navigator. It may look like an old-school lumberer, but in reality Lincoln's flagship is a thoroughly modern, turbocharged-V6-powered, three-row, luxury people mover. The Jeep Wrangler is the world's most recognizable vehicle. So it's no surprise that the next version looks a whole heck of a lot like the last one, and the one before. It's all in the details, which is why we were so excited when Jeep decided to unleash a trio of images showing both two- and four-door Wranglers for us to dissect ahead of the SUV's official debut at the L.A. Auto Show later this year. Past that, spy photos of the next Chevy Silverado and Ram 1500 were predictably popular. See both of those below, and the cap it all off, check out the entire week's worth of SEMA coverage – including the bonkers Hennessey VelociRaptor 6x6 – in our mega image gallery at the bottom of this post. Enjoy! As always, tune in to Autoblog next week for a front-row seat to all the happenings worth following in the automotive industry. 2018 Lincoln Navigator First Drive | From black sheep to flagship 2018 Jeep Wrangler revealed: First photos released before L.A.
