NO RESERVE
For sale ONLY on eBay - Highest bidder wins! This is my wife's toy. She has a clear title in hand. This is the 8th Jeep we have owned and the coolest of them all. My wife wanted a toy that looked good, sounded good, is fun to drive and that she could drop the top and take to the local cruise in. She has owned this Jeep going on three years and due to health issues she does not get to enjoy it enough to keep it. The Jeep is always garage kept and gets a lot of attention everywhere it goes. This Jeep started it's life as a 1979 CJ5 Renegade. A few years back the owner before us did a complete frame off restoration lifted the Jeep and professionally added a new 350 Chevy V8 with a TH350 automatic transmission, B & M shifter with reverse lock out and a Ford 9 inch rear end. This included advance adapters and a full Painless wiring harness. Current mileage showing on the odometer since new motor and complete rebuild is 20,927 as of today. This could change slightly as I try to drive it a few miles every weekend. Since we have owned it we replaced the steering wheel, fully updated the windshield wiper system, added leather front race seats and the rock slider rails to the sides as steps. We also last year completely updated the fuel system from the tank to the carburator with new sending unit, hoses, filter, electric pump, pressure regulator and dash mounted electric switch for the pump. We upgraded and added new oil pressure, water temperature and volt meter gauges to the dash and added a steering mounted tachometer. The Jeep received a complete tune up in December with plugs, wires, distributor cap, rotor, etc. Just last week it got an engine oil change and filter, a new transmission filter and fluid and the front differential fluid was changed. The Jeep starts right up and drives and shifts as it should. It has manual lock out hubs on the front axle and the four wheel drive system works as it should in both high and low range. Everything works on the Jeep and it just passed North Carolina inspection last month with no problems. Three things to mention are the horn does work but only if the steering wheel is turned slightly left or right. The cam button needs to be replaced in the steering column. These can usually be purchased around $10.00. The factory fuel gauge does also work but it not 100% accurate. It reads full when filled up but gets to empty before all the fuel is used up. I thought the new sending unit would correct that but it did not. It has a 15 gallon tank and usually only takes 8 to 10 gallons when showing empty. The four wheel drive indicator light is not hooked. You simply shift into four wheel low or high by feel and know when you are in four wheel drive. The tires have less than 2000 miles on them with plenty of tread left. They are Mickey Thompson 33 x 12.50. This Jeep is LOUD with the headers and side pipes! Warn 9000 Lb Winch w/ hand held remote that easily reaches to the drivers seat. Full custom welded roll bar. Power Steering / Power Brakes / Tilt steering The full top and soft doors are in very good condition and it also comes with a bikini top. The paint really shines. There is a small ding on top of both front fenders and one on the hood. There are a couple of paint chips on the drivers side entry that are covered when the soft doors are on. I had a leak around the transmission pan gasket and purchased a new cast aluminum extra capacity pan. Unfortunately it would not clear the front drive shaft. I changed the fluid and filter and added a new gasket but still have a very slight leak on the drivers side front corner. I just torqued the bolts slightly more and hope this resolves the issue but fell a new pan is needed. I'll let the pictures speak for the rest. You are welcome to come and drive and inspect the Jeep before bidding. Please feel free to ask any questions. I will respond promptly and post all answers here for everyone to see. Happy Bidding |

Win a car while supporting a charity this holiday season
Thu, Dec 9 2021Autoblog may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Pricing and availability are subject to change. No donation or payment necessary to enter or win this sweepstakes. See official rules on Omaze. The leaves have fallen, there is a crispness to the air and there have already been multiple forecasts of snow, which can only mean one thing: We're coming up on Christmas. While you've been busy thinking about what kind of gifts you're going to give your loved ones, we here at Autoblog have been deciding which dream car we'd like to see in our driveway on Christmas morning. A car for Christmas does seem a bit extreme and expensive, but thanks to these Omaze sweepstakes, it doesn't have to break the bank. Here are the current sweepstakes we'd like to win this holiday season. Win a DeLorean DMC-12 - Enter at Omaze James Riswick, West Coast Editor: Let me be clear, the DeLorean is a pretty terrible car. Its speedometer doesn't even go up to the fabled 88 mph. Seriously, look at the pictures: tops out at 85. Also, who services a DeLorean? And how much would it cost to maintain one? $AlloftheMoney or just $MostoftheMoney? So owning it could be a total headache, but at least by winning one through Omaze, you'd be relieved of the financial burden of buying one in the first place. You'd also get the chance to own one of the most iconic cars of all time, one that transcends car enthusiasm and is instantly recognizable by everyone as the "Back to the Future" car. Plus, "everyone" doesn't know that the DeLorean was actually a pretty terrible car. So, I already own James Bond's car from 1995, why not Doc Brown's from 1985? Win a 2021 Bentley Bentayga V8 - Enter at Omaze Eddie Sabatini, Production Manager: Why am I choosing a +$200K Bentley SUV? Because even if I could afford one I'd never be able to wrap my head around spending money on one. So why not try to win one by donating what I can afford to a good cause? I first saw the Bentley Bentayga up close and personal at the Frankfurt Motor Show (I forget which year but I'll never forget this SUV). And although it looks like the Bentayga Omaze is offering up doesn't have the opulent tailgate setup I fell in love with when I saw it in Frankfurt, I'd still enter to win. Win a 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280SL Pagoda - Enter at Omaze Byron Hurd, Editor: Few automotive marketing efforts stick out in my head more than the Mercedes-Benz holiday spots and magazine placements.
Jeep Wrangler Polar is a tasty frozen treat
Wed, 11 Sep 2013Perhaps it's because we've seen so many kitted-out examples over the years, but it seems to us that the Jeep Wrangler tends to wear its special-edition duds better than most models. It might be the icon's familiar rectilinear proportions or the inherent bolt-on look of its extremities - bumpers, mirrors, lighting, and step rails - but we've seen precious few factory specials that look anything but excellent.
Case in point: this new Jeep Wrangler Polar unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show. This European-market limited-edition model is said to be a celebration of winter driving, which evidently works out to a body-color hardtop, black-accent seven-slot grille, 18-inch gloss black wheels, Trac-Lok limited-slip differential and a hard hat for the spare tire. Finished here in Hydro Blue (Billet Silver Metallic and Bright White are also available) and a black interior with Polar White accents, the Polar edition features badges displaying 78° S and 106° E longitude and latitude coordinates for Vostok, Antarctica.
This new Jeep will be available in both standard and Unlimited formats with either the 3.6-liter Pentastar gas engine or the still-not-for-US 2.8-liter turbodiesel when it bows early next year. For further details, check out our gallery above and the press release below.
Chrysler accelerates Jeep recall repairs from 2018 to March
Thu, 17 Jul 2014
You may remember that Jeep's unusual fix for this recall involves fitting a trailer hitch.
The recall of about 1.5 million models of the 2002-2007 Jeep Liberty and 1993-1998 Grand Cherokee over fuel tanks may finish far sooner than originally estimated. In a new filing from Jeep's parent, Chrysler Group, with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the company says that it can complete the repairs for the affected vehicles by March 2015, much sooner than the previous estimate of sometime in 2018. Jeep predicts the total cost of the campaign will be around $151 million.
