1997 Jeep Wrangler 5.7l V8 on 2040-cars
Cape Coral, Florida, United States
|
Up for auction is my 1997 Jeep wrangler with a 5.7L small block Chevy 350 and a 700r4 transmission. My goal for this jeep was to make it a simple vehicle to work on as well as visually appealing and I personally believe that I have succeeded. There are no complicated fuel systems needed to diagnose or intricate computer systems to troubleshoot. Anybody who knows Chevy motors would be able to work on this jeep with no trouble. This vehicle runs and drives well. It has great low end power with the ability to cruise 80 miles on the highway no problem. This Jeep has not been abused at all. For the most part it was garage kept except on sunny days when riding to the beach. The odometer on the jeep list 195930 but I did the swap at 182000 miles so the power train only has 14,000 miles on it. I am the second owner. As soon as I purchased the Jeep I parked it in my garage and began the conversion. The reason I am selling is because of the lack of use it gets in my possession. The majority of the 4 years I’ve owned it, it just sits in the garage. So I would like to now use that space to build a caf? racer. Here’s a list of a few of the main specs/mods I have done: POWERTRAIN 5.7 L Chevy V8 350ci (Remanufactured Crate motor) 700r4 Transmission (Rebuilt from Goodfellas transmissions in Tarpon Springs) March Performance Serpentine Kit Lokar 700r4 linkage shifter NP231 Transfer case Transfer case cable shifter MSD Hei Distributor Edelbrock 1400 Carburator 3 Core radiator with transmission cooler ports Electric fan w/ shroud Stand alone Transmission cooler Custom Exhaust with muffler and catalytic converter 4.11 Gears Edelbrock Performance 2101 intake manifold Conversion adapters through Advance Adapters and Novak EXTERIOR Freshly painted exterior within the last 2 years Rugged Ridge Side rails Warn Front Bumper with a grill guard and winch mount 9000lb winch Fender Flares Hood lock for security New Bestop Top Mirror relocation bracket so that you can ride with the doors off still have mirrors. INTERIOR Freshly painted interior within the last 2 years Upgraded to 03-06 roll bar padding Upgraded to 03-06 Sound Pods with light All the gauges in the instrument cluster works with the conversion except the tach so there is an aftermarket tach on the dashboard Dashboard blue led upgrade CD/MP3/USB head unit Alpine Mono Amp Sony Explode Subwoofer Speaker upgrade to 5.25 speakers in dash and 6.5 polk audio’s in speaker pods Both the front and rear seats are vinyl. Not covers. Interior lined with truck bed lining Fuel Pump cut off switch for security Jeep branded grab handles SUSPENSION 16x Moto Metal wheels Goodyear Duratrac 305x70x16 tires with 95% tread left Full Size Spare tire holder 3” Zone lift kit Adjustable upper control arms The front brake pads have <300 miles on them and the rear shoes still have plenty of life on them. The brake lines were flushed 2 months ago. Plus much more… To see more pictures of this Jeep go to http://imgur.com/a/XIjgf If you would like a specific picture to be taken, message me and I will try to take it as soon as possible. I understand that it may be a little intimidating to buy a vehicle so I am trying to make it as easy as possible so I have created a video for your viewing pleasure. These are not the best quality videos but it can give you something to judge off of before you come see the jeep. To see a video of a test drive of this jeep click https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjhpkuhIHQo Another video of the jeep driving at highway speeds https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cB9NDW0pIUY&feature=youtu.be There aren’t many flaws at all on this jeep, but I want to be open with the jeep so the only ones I can find are a small scratch on the driver door. The Pulley kit comes with the AC Compressor and the Jeep’s OEM setup had A/C as well, I just haven’t had the work done to finish the setup. It really just needs an accumulator and a shop to hook up the hoses to the compressor. With the windows down or doors off, I never had a need for A/C but at least you know its not too much more work needed to get A/C if necessary. And the driver sun panel may need to be stitched up (seen in the pictures). I have a clean title in hand. This jeep is road ready. Bring cash and your own license plate and drive it home if you want. Keep in mind that this is a FL jeep so I have not had to have any emissions tests. Buyer is responsible for researching their state's registration requirements. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask or come and see it for yourself. I will need a non refundable $500 paypal deposit within 24 hours of auction ending and the rest of the payment within 7 days of auction ending. I’ll accept cash or cashier checks for payment. Jeep is listed locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early. Any ebay members with less than 10 feedback MUST message me prior to bidding or their bid will be cancelled. Buyer is responsible for all shipping costs and arrangement. This vehicle is being sold as is, where is with no
warranty, expressed written or implied. *Buyers Inspection: I have done my best to
disclose all information known about this Jeep for auction. I welcome a buyer’s
inspection. If you plan to have an inspection, please make ?sure you inspect
the vehicle prior to the auction ending. If you choose not to inspect the

Fiat Chrysler posts record Q3 profit thanks to U.S. trucks and Jeep
Wed, Oct 28 2020MILAN — A rebound in car production in Fiat Chrysler on Wednesday reported record third-quarter earnings as production returned to nearly pre-pandemic levels. The Italian-American automaker, which is finalizing its full merger with French rival PSA Peugeot, reported a net profit in the three months ending Sept. 30 of $1.4 billion (1.2 billion euros). That compares with a loss of 179 million euros a year earlier. The carmaker reported adjusted earnings before tax and interest in North America of 2.5 billion euros. That offset deepening losses in Europe, Asia and at its Maserati luxury marquee. Latin America, the only other region to post a profit, saw it narrow by two-thirds to 46 million euros. “Our record results were driven by our teamÂ’s tremendous performance in North America,” CEO Mike Manley said in a statement. Overall, the carmaker said global earnings before tax and interest were a record 2.3 billion euros despite a 6% fall in revenues to 26 billion euros. Global shipments were down 3%, due largely to plant retooling in North American to produce the new Jeep Grand Wagoneer in the luxury SUV segment and the discontinuation of the Dodge Grand Caravan classic minivan. Fiat Chrysler announced earlier Wednesday that its merger with PSA Peugeot is on track to be finalized by the end of the first quarter of 2021, as planned. To meet regulatory concerns, the French carmaker is selling a small stake in a components maker to get below 40% ownership. The new automaker, to be called Stellantis, will be the fourth biggest producer in the world. Earnings/Financials Chrysler Dodge Fiat Jeep RAM Citroen Peugeot
2014 Jeep Compass/Patriot sing their swan songs with a six-speed automatic
Tue, 15 Jan 2013Unless the governor, Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne, gives them a reprieve, the 2014 Jeep Compass and Patriot are expected to meet their makers sometime next year. Should they perish, it's a shame that it would happen just as they've shed the continuously variable transmission that was their major bugbear, and just as the Compass has gotten its best looks yet.
Both will roll with a proper six-speed automatic transmission, courtesy of PowerTech. Noise-resistant gears and tuning by Chrysler boffins should alleviate the unappealing sounds that were given off by the older CVT. Unless, that is, you choose to have either model equipped with Freedom Drive II; the serious off-road package, available on both baby Jeeps, will still come with the CVT. The base transmission on the entry-level Sport trim remains the five-speed manual.
Otherwise, it's minor changes for the Compass, set off by the new 18-inch wheel option, trim pieces around the car and a back-up camera. The Patriot gets seat-mounted airbags, but is carryover otherwise. With their expected demises perhaps a year away, not much has changed otherwise. Engine choices comprise the 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 158 horsepower and 141 pound-feet of torque or the 2.4-liter four-cylinder with 172 hp and 165 lb-ft.
Jeep Wrangler's shift to aluminum could see production leave Toledo
Mon, 06 Oct 2014The 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.
