1985 CJ7 Renegade with 89,000 original miles.  T-176 4 speed, PS, PB, AC.  Full hard doors, Best top soft top in perfect shape.

Rust free Texas Jeep in excellent original condition.  As you can see in the pictures, the floors, fender wells, and undercarriage are amazingly clean.  No indication that this Jeep ever spent a day outside of the garage as the original dash pad and seats have no cracks or tears and show very little wear.  The hood has been repainted, and the remainder of the Jeep appears to retain it's original paint.  The body is extremely straight.  There are a few dings upon very close inspection, but could easily and inexpensively be removed by a PDR guy if so desired.  There are two areas where the paint is not perfect - front fender near the flare, and passenger rear corner near the spare tire carrier.  I can provide any additional pictures as needed.

There has been a Weber carb installed, other that that the mechanicals are completely stock.  Power steering, power brakes, and factory AC.  AC unit blows, but not cold, compressor will kick in when AC is turned on.  Would be an easy repair if AC is desired.  Drives, shifts, steers, and stops very well.  Suspension and steering are nice and tight.  Jeep could use a little fine tuning on the Weber, as it lags a little when accelerating when fully warmed up.  Wipers, horn, blinkers, lights all work.  Last inspected and registered in 2005.  Since then it's been stored in an airplane hangar and used as a run around vehicle at an airstrip.

This Jeep looks like is has 20,000 miles, not 89,000 and will stand it's ground next to $25,000 low mileage CJ-7s like the ones offered by Collins Bros Jeeps, etc. 

Feel free to call me with any questions, or to set up a time to inspect the vehicle. (512) 748-5677  The Jeep is in Austin TX. If you want to arrange an inspection, please do so before hitting the buy it now, or making an offer.

I've been collecting old cars for years, and this is one of the nicest Jeeps I've ever seen in Central TX.   Never been hacked, no rhino liner hiding rust, this one is a time capsule. With a young family it's too nice for my needs.  I have purchased another Jeep that's more of a daily driver so this one must go.  Clear Texas Title in hand.

Baby Jeep to join Renegade in FCA's plan for new Italian-built models

Tue, Nov 27 2018

FCA is boosting its European production, introducing new models that will be built in currently under-utilized manufacturing facilities. Among the new models is a new small Jeep, smaller than the current Renegade, as Automotive News reports. FCA's Mike Manley mentioned the entry-level Jeep model earlier this year, also saying that the vehicle is targeted to European and possibly Latin American customers; in the summer, Autocar placed the launch date in 2022. The new "baby" Jeep would be made in the same factory in Pomigliano, Italy, as the small Fiat Panda, which is a top seller in Italy. The current generation Panda was introduced in 2011; if it gets a replacement in 2022, it could possibly share a platform with the Jeep model — or, the Jeep could be an eventual outright replacement for the Panda. One of Fiat's earlier core products, the Punto hatchback, was canned in August, and that production capacity will be used to make the Jeep Compass instead, at the Renegade-producing Melfi factory in southern Italy. The Compass has not previously been built in Europe. The Fiat model portfolio would be shrunk to just the 500 model family and the Panda — the 500 would also be FCA's key electric vehicle offered in Europe. It is not yet clear whether the electric 500 would be made in Turin, Italy, or in Poland; Turin might also get a Giardiniera-badged wagon version of the refreshed 500. As for the Alfa Romeo brand, it is set to gain an even bigger SUV model than the Stelvio, based on the Maserati Levante's platform. The Levante's sales have suffered recently in China, but Maserati does have light in the horizon: The Alfieri 2+2 grand tourer is still in the cards, with a launch expected for 2020 and both a convertible and an electrified version planned to follow. The Alfieri would be made in Modena, Italy, according to Automotive News' sources. None of these plans namedrop the storied Lancia brand, which has been shrunk to just the Ypsilon hatchback, based on the same platform as the current 500 and Panda. Despite that, the Ypsilon was again the second-bestselling car in Italy after the Panda in October. It is unlikely that FCA will be able to ignore this, but it is just as unlikely that any development money will be afforded to come up with a replacement for the Ypsilon, which is as similarly old as the Panda. Perhaps official announcements expected on Thursday will also clarify what will happen to Lancia.

Jeep Wrangler's shift to aluminum could see production leave Toledo

Mon, 06 Oct 2014

The Jeep Wrangler may be a timeless design, but sooner or later, time will run out and Chrysler will have to replace it with a newer model more friendly towards the earth it's designed to traverse. That will, it seems, mean a shift to aluminum construction (whether just for the body or for the entire structure) - but what will that mean for the Wrangler's long-time home of Toledo, OH?
According to the latest pronouncements from Fiat Chrysler chief Sergio Marchionne, the shift to an aluminum Wrangler would likely mean moving production out of Toledo. "If the solution is aluminum," Marchionne told Automotive News, "then I think unfortunately Toledo is the wrong place, the wrong setup to try and build a Wrangler, because it requires a complete reconfiguring of the assets that would be cost-prohibitive."
Marchionne also indicated that, were Wrangler production to move elsewhere, it would find another line to take its place in Ohio. "One of the thing that we are dealing with now is what else we do with Toledo that fulfills our commitment to the city and to Ohio. I don't have a doubt that there will be zero impact on head count and employment levels and anything else." Jeep has built the Wrangler in Toledo since World War II, with the exception of six years starting in 1986 when it was built in Brampton, Ontario. The complex dates back to 1910 and currently produces the Wrangler and Cherokee. Past products have included the Wagoneer and Commanche as well as the Dodge Dakota and Nitro.

Watch this Jeep Willys return to its birthplace after 70 years

Sun, 23 Jun 2013

Earlier this month, a very significant Jeep was celebrated at the Toledo North Assembly plant. No, it wasn't the upcoming reincarnation of the Jeep Cherokee, but instead it was a 1943 Willys MB that visited the Toledo grounds where it had been built exactly 70 years ago to the day.
Of course, the actual building where the MBs rolled off the assembly line before heading to Europe for World War II no longer exists, but that didn't stop Italian owner Vittorio Argento from having the vehicle shipped to the US to make its trek back to its birth place. According to Chrysler, Argento's MB is still 95-percent original and it drove 1,000 miles from New Jersey to Toledo.
The whole adventure was chronicled on a blog aptly named A Jeep Comes Home. Scroll down for a brief video from Chrysler and for some photos of the Toledo visit and be sure to read more at Argento's blog.
